Travelfood - Frenchglen, Oregon

Frenchglen is a little hamlet about 60 miles south of Burns, Oregon near the Malheur Wildlife Refuge. On the main road just before a turnoff to Steens Mountain sits the Historic Frenchglen Hotel - a working hotel in the summer.

For those who want a little isolation as well as peace and quiet, this would be a good place to stay. If you do not have food, no worries as there is a small general store next door (Be sure to check for hours as when I was there it was only open 45 minutes that day) and a family style restaurant that requires reservations.

It is a historical area for the livestock operation of Peter French. More information about this is on the Hotel's website. I only had a cookie for a mid-afternoon snack there, but it was really good and from talking to the manager, the meals have a home cooked feel to them - as well as being family style.
