As the long, golden days of summer give way, Southern Oregon is preparing for one of its most beautiful seasons—fall. At Country Willows Inn, the shift in weather is part of the charm: mornings are crisp and fresh, afternoons are warm with golden sunshine, and evenings invite you to gather by the fire with a glass of local wine. It’s the perfect time to visit Ashland and experience all the color, flavor, and festivity that autumn brings.
The Beauty of Fall in Southern Oregon
The surrounding hillsides transform into a painter’s palette of deep reds, oranges, and golds. Guests can stroll the walking trails around our property, breathe in the cool air, and listen to the crunch of leaves underfoot. Lithia Park, just a few minutes away, is at its most spectacular in the fall, making it a must-see for leaf-peeping walks and photos.
