Testimonials

Read what our members have to say about Unique Inns

Unique Inns has proven to be an invaluable association for us, both in terms of the interaction and sharing with other innkeepers and the heads-in-beds that it has delivered to us over the years.

– Laurie Anderson & David Campiche, Innkeepers of the China Beach Retreat

Cottage Grove Inn has been a Member of Unique Inns for several years and we have found it to be fundamental in connecting "Unique" guests traveling from the Northwest to the Southwest by sharing "Our Family" of Unique Inns.

– Donna Johnson, General Manager of the Cottage Grove Inn in Calistoga, CA

We are pleased with the exceptional social promotion, owner resources, and forum feel to the group. Walk-in traffic increased over 42% in the first year and Unique Inns quickly became our highest ranking referral site. The bronze plaque on the front pillar is worth its weight in gold!

– Greg Willits, President of FivePine Lodge in Sisters, OR

Being a new owner of a Unique Inn property, I have found the knowledge of the other owners and staff invaluable. Having the ability to seek the group regarding policies, amenities, employees, etc. has allowed us to improve the experience of our guests as well as our bottom line.

– Brett Rauber, Owner & Executive Chef of the Campbell House Inn in Eugene, OR

We have owned the Jacksonville Inn for 40 years and have belonged to Unique Inns for over 30 years. We find the association to be a very valuable mechanism for pooling our financial resources in a cost-effective way to collectively market our respective inns.

– Linda & Jerry Evans, Innkeepers of Jacksonville Inn in Jacksonville, OR

The real value of Unique Inns is in attending the meetings. I have been an Innkeeper for almost 40 years and I still learn one or two things at every meeting that pays at least for my membership and the cost of attending the meeting.

– Jim Smith, Innkeeper of the Wine Country Inn in St Helena, CA
