With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up all that Corvallis, 25 miles away, has to offer. See the sights starting with Reser Stadium, Osborn Aquatic Center and Corvallis Farmers’ Market. Don’t skip Cottage Grove either! Just 30 miles away, Cottage Theatre, Hidden Valley Golf Course and Saginaw Vineyard are essential stops here.
