About The Boutique Retreat

Location

Like a good dream, the concept for The Boutique Retreat was conceived based on a passion for travel, fine wine, historic towns, and an obsession with home design, décor, and architecture. The tiny house movement created a unique opportunity to develop a cool, eclectic hotel that tempts travelers to think outside the box and try a new and original lodging concept that offers the comforts of home in a cozy cottage conveniently located within walking distance to tasting rooms, breweries, restaurants, entertainment, and shopping. We chose McMinnville, Oregon as the perfect place for this amazing hotel.


McMinnville is well known as the ‘Heart of Oregon Wine Country’ and the ‘Land of Plenty’. It is a mecca for wine enthusiasts, nature lovers, and anyone else that appreciates a quant and quirky historic town that embraces wine, food, fun and exploration. It truly is a playground for adults seeking pleasure in paradise. 

McMinnville is not just another interesting town to check off your travel list and The Boutique Retreat is not just another wine country hotel.
