Mt. Angel Abbey Guest House — Hotel in Silverton

The Abby is located on a hill east of downtown. Going out on the side patio offers a gorgeous view of the valley. Very peaceful, restful, calming setting. Guest rooms are small and sparse, no TV or phone in room and serve yourself for clean linens and bedding changes. Meals are served in a common dining area. Guests participate in prayer before going in for the meal, which is served buffet style with self-serve drinks, condiments, etc. Guests bus their own tables. Meals are simple but tasty, offering salad, main course, and two dessert choices. Not to be missed is the museum located in the basement of one of the buildings. Impressive taxidermy display with numerous religious and Native American artifacts - really interesting displays. The guest house has several areas for reading and quiet reflecting. Note that church bells ring several times each day, starting about 5:30 am. Makes for an early morning...

They cooked for us and left coffee tea and cookies out. I believe there is a school there also and a wonderful walk of the stations outside or in the church. Holy place.

What an absolutely beautiful and peaceful place. My husband and I went on our first retreat here and it was so lovely. I was sad to leave. While the rooms have heat for cold weather, there is no A/C, which made it a little too warm and stuffy since we're having some of the hottest days of the year. We barely spent time in the room, however, and other areas in the building have A/C. We loved...
