Glamping at Confluence Arts Center

1 site · Lodging44 acres · Scotts Mills, OR

Glamping in the Barn at Confluence Arts Center The Barn space is 750 square feet (30' x 25') with a full kitchen, 1.5 baths, and a queen sized murphy bed. The Barn lives in a Douglas Fir surrounded corner of the property, and sits on what was once a Christmas tree farm. The barn was built from repurposed Christmas trees that were left unattended for years. This was central to the process of rehabilitating the land and allowing the remaining trees to thrive. This old barn was originally built to house vineyard equipment, and has now been fully renovated into the Confluence Arts Center for hosting: creative, healing, and community events. The Barn is the perfect rental for those looking to have their own private retreat glamping in the woods. The Story of the Land Land Confluence Arts Center sits on the unceded land of The Molalla and The Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde and Siletz Indians. Scotts Mills and this property was also a Quaker Colony from the 1800’s, and is now shared with Domaine Margelle Vineyards on a gorgeous hillside overlooking Oregon’s Willamette Valley. The land is in the Cascade Foothills at 1000 feet and composed of ancient volcanic basalt flows that at one time formed the shoreline of the Pacific Ocean, before it receded 100 miles to the west to form the shore boundary we know in this geographic age. Many shells have been found in the surrounding soil, and the area is now a natural habitat for hundreds of native birds and mammals. About Confluence Arts Center Confluence Arts Center was founded by Brianna Taylor, in collaboration with family and friends who’ve supported the vision coming to life. The evolution of the space is rooted in the values of co-creation, collaborative dreaming and expansive visioning. Until now, Confluence Arts has existed through Brianna’s creative performance work as Confluence Performance Project, and via her movement and bodywork offerings as Confluence Healing Arts. Brianna's long-time dream of a home for her performance projects and a dance, healing and community arts space is now in full fruition as The Confluence Arts Center with The Barn at the center. The Dance Floor in the Barn. The beautiful Russian Birch sprung dance floor once lived in a church in Brooklyn, NY as a part of Brooklyn Studios for Dance. Carpenter and dancer Pepper Fajans designed and built the floor, and then uninstalled it when BkSD closed in 2020. He later transported the wood panels to Oregon, where it would become the flooring for Confluence Arts Center. Brianna danced and was inspired by performances at BkSD. Deeply moved by Pepper’s carpentry wizardry, she asked his advice on building a dance floor in a barn in Oregon. A conversation started in Brooklyn among two Pacific Northwest natives turned into a cross-country collaboration, as well as a new life for the dance floor in Scotts Mills, Oregon.

Forest barns in Oregon guide

Overview

Oregon has long been known as an outdoor destination, with snow-capped mountains, rugged high desert, Pacific Coast beaches, and roaring rivers all within a few hours’ drive of one another. While Portland attracts visitors with its celebrated food scene and music venues, Oregon offers much more for those who’d prefer a quieter getaway out in nature. If you’ve come to camp or hike, you’ll have no shortage of options to choose from—in fact, there are 11 national forests, hundreds of state parks and recreation areas, and 2.5 million acres of protected wilderness within the state’s borders.

Where to go

The Willamette Valley

Extending from the border with Washington state down to the community of Springfield, the Willamette Valley is Oregon’s main economic and cultural hub. Although it’s home to the state’s three most populated cities (Portland, Salem, and Eugene), much of the Willamette Valley is dominated by forests and countryside, with plenty of state parks, hiking and mountain biking trails, hot springs, and rivers.

Mount Hood and the Columbia River Gorge

Just east of Portland on the border with Washington, the Columbia River Gorge offers easy access to miles of hiking trails, waterfalls, and great skiing and snowboarding. The adjacent Mt. Hood region has equally beautiful scenery and is as popular for winter skiing and snowboarding as it is for hiking, swimming, and camping in the summer months.

The Oregon Coast

This region is popular year-round, attracting whale-watching fans in the cooler months and campers and hikers in the summer months. Popular Oregon Coast activities include hiking, tide pool viewing, clamming, crabbing, off-road vehicle rides on the sweeping Oregon Dunes, and sampling world-famous cheese and ice cream in Tillamook. While some brave souls don wetsuits for surfing and diving, the Pacific Ocean waters rarely get warm enough for comfortable dips. Some of the area’s best camping options can be found at Harris Beach State Park, Sunset Bay State Park, and Cape Lookout State Park, all of which offer tent camping, yurt rentals, and RV sites with hookups.

Eastern and Central Oregon

Stretching from the portion of the Cascade Range south of the Columbia Gorge all the way east to the Oregon-Idaho border, central and eastern Oregon offer a dryer, sunnier alternative to the rainier parts of the state, with a mix of lush forest and craggy high desert landscapes. Highlights include Deschutes National Forest, popular for backpacking and backcountry stays, while campers in search of a more developed camping experience can head to one of the many Oregon state parks along the Deschutes River, near Bend.

Southern Oregon

Oregon’s southernmost region offers a variety of scenery, with a mix of lakes, forests, and rivers interspersed with rolling expanses of countryside (not to mention some great wineries). The region’s most famous natural attraction is Crater Lake National Park, Oregon’s only national park, set near the southeastern reaches of Umpqua National Forest.
