It's easy to reach by public transit from either PDX or downtown. ------------------- General Feel A private brewpub-based resort at a lovingly and quirkily restored historic campus of buildings -- lodgings, restaurants, brewpubs, winery, gardens, movie theatre, and more. Even a little golf course. Filled inside and out with interesting artwork (http://mcmenamins.com/Edge/art.html). Even a working hot glass studio on the grounds. Hillside location with views across the Columbia River. -------------------- Work Room We'll be in the main ballroom, which is generously sized (36x68 feet, 11x20m), on the second floor of the main lodge, with many windows on three sides and a huge mural on the walls. The view is away from the river. ---------------------- Sleeping Rooms Mostly European-style rooms, with private baths down the hall. Some suites with bath are available at a higher rate (see above). Most rooms have one bed. A few two-bed rooms are available -- send in a deposit soon if you want one of these. ----------------------- Meals Meals are included with room. If we eat in fairly small groups in their restaurants, they'll give us vouchers good for up to a specified amount for each meal. The Black Rabbit Restaurant (http://mcmenamins.com/Edge/brabbit.html) is very good, and the Power Station Pub (http://mcmenamins.com/Edge/pub.html) also has good stuff. Voucher amounts will be $10.50 for breakfast, $16.95 for lunch, $26.25 for supper. ----------------------- Activities On-site: Golf, evening movies, wandering around looking at interesting stuff (brewery, winery, distillery, artwork).
