At Escape Lodging, we don’t just work in these towns—we live in them, love them, and support them!

From the "Adopt-A-Family" programs at Cousins' Country Inn to the toy and school supply drives at our properties in Seaside, Beaverton, and Oregon Wine Country, we believe in showing up for our neighbors every single day.

Our core value of Relationship means finding and cultivating common ground with our community. We are so proud of our team members who consistently go above and beyond to provide "uncommon hospitality" both inside and outside our hotel doors.
