Meet the Wayfarer

Only 25 miles from Eugene-Springfield, the Wayfarer is far enough from the beaten track for utmost privacy, yet close enough for visiting, shopping or a night on the town. For you, your family, your business or professional associates, the Wayfarer offers the right combination of all the things that make a vacation truly memorable. Four lovely cabins on the edge of the McKenzie River and Martin Creek, reunions, retreats and special events.

Coming Back to Life

We were devastatingly hit by the Holiday Farm Fire in 2020, losing the majority of our cabins (all but 4 burned) and beautiful landscape. We are eternally thankful for the first responders who risked their own lives to fight fires and protect us all. We are blessed to have one of the finest rural fire departments in the country, McKenzie Fire and Rescue.

Though thousands of our McKenzie River neighbors were been displaced, we saw an outpouring of support from the Springfield/Eugene communities. To say we are proud of the kindness and generosity of our community members would be an understatement. As Mr. Rogers wonderfully said, “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.”

After a lot of clean up, new water systems & holding tanks, and renovations, we’re excited to have re-opened reservations in 2021 for the four cabins, as well as three new RV sites in March of 2025!

Guest Testimonials

  • It’s a wonderful place to bring your dog and unwind with friends and family. As soon as I get there, I feel peace. Surrounded on 2 sides by river and creek. Listening to the rapids/waterfall while sitting on your deck is wonderful.

  • Absolutely serene and tranquil location. The cabin we stayed at was clean, cozy and had ample room. The staff was accommodating, thoughtful and very friendly. Already thinking about planning a return trip!

  • Picture a rustic setting beside a babbling brook which leads into a beautiful, clear river full of trout. I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed staying there.
