Welcome to Smith Creek Village
Smith Creek Village is a place to slow down and settle in. Tucked inside Silver Falls State Park, this forest retreat offers cabins, group lodges, shared meals, and time to reconnect with nature, with others, and with yourself.
The village includes 13 cabins, four group lodges, a dining area, meeting spaces, and a commercial kitchen. Many of the buildings were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s and still carry the mark of that craftsmanship in their stonework and timber beams.
This is not just a place to stay. It is a place to listen, reflect, and move at the rhythm of the forest.
Let us help you get here. Call (866) 993-2557 to reserve your stay.
