Whether you’re a fan of the brand’s laid-back luxury feel or simply seeking the perfect blend of chill, comfort, and seasonal adventure, this boutique stay is the ultimate home base for fall fun. 

Checking In: Island State of Mind 

The moment you pull up to Compass Hotel Medford, the stress just seems to melt away. Instantly, you’re welcomed with a tone of the tropics that are unmatched anywhere near this set of coordinates. As the staff greets you with genuine warmth and excitement for your arrival, take in the trop-rock tunes and casual coastal decor. Whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, with friends, or as a family (including your furry loved one(s)), the spacious rooms and suites are truly unique among boutique hotels in Oregon. 

Day One: Island Attitude, Vineyard Latitude  

Start your morning with a quick stop at the complimentary breakfast for an energizing prelude to adventure: think piping hot coffee, sweet and savory pastry bites, local favorites, and more. 

Medford is wrapped in jaw-dropping scenery, so first stop: Upper Table Rock. It’s a manageable 3.7-mile hike with panoramic Rogue Valley views. Fall here means foliage for days, with the Rogue Valley transforming into a canvas of gold, amber, and fiery red, but honestly, it’s stunning all year round. 

By afternoon, swap sneakers for sandals and head out for a wine tasting. Rogue Valley is Oregon’s unsung wine hero, with over 150+ wineries to choose from. If you can only pick one: DANCIN Vineyards is a local favorite for dreamy sips with mountain views, and you’ll love chilling on the patio.  

Insider Tip: pack a portable charger and make room in your camera roll ahead of time because your phone is about to be working overtime, capturing the beauty and memories at DANCIN.  

If you can, also make time to sample some of the local cheeses. Oregon Cheese Cave and Rogue Creamery are must-visits if you’re a fan of artisanal bites, and a necessary snack before you slide into 5 o’Clock Somewhere Bar & Grill for classic Margaritaville dishes like the 5 o’Clock Burger or Coconut Shrimp and then grab a drink poolside. The outdoor heated pool is so inviting, and when pairing it with a signature frozen concoction, it really is paradise found.

Day Two: Markets, Downtown Vibes & River Relaxation 

Rise and shine ☀️ today is all about the flavors and colors of Medford’s iconic orchard scene. Fall is prime time to savor the best of Southern Oregon’s pears and apples, so carve out a morning for cider tasting, orchard tours, and be sure to pick up a farm-fresh pie or some produce to bring back with you. A visit to the famous Harry & David orchards is a must for every guest.   

Insider tip: make sure to try the seasonal cider donuts; these pillowy bites are a true local legend. 

Next, drift downtown for a laid-back stroll through lively galleries, trendy boutiques, and artisan markets; Medford’s tax-free status is a dream for shoppers, so indulge in a splurge or two. When the afternoon calls for a pick-me-up, treat yourself to a visit at Forage Coffee Company. The plant-filled lounge and warm hazelnut lattes are beloved by locals, delivering unbeatable ambiance and flavor. 

As golden hour nears, trade city streets for the natural serenity of the Rogue River. Revel in the last pops of fall color on a gentle riverside walk or dial up the adventure with an e-bike ride or casual paddle, favorites among guests seeking a dash of fun with their relaxation. When evening brings a crisp autumn chill, the firepit and outdoor lounge at Compass Hotel by Margaritaville are calling. Cozy up with fellow travelers, share stories, and let the warmth of the season cap off your stay in the most inviting way.
