During the Winter, the skiing in Oregon is fantastic, while in the summer rafting and canoeing is great on the Deschutes River. Rates with vacation homes cost the same if not cheaper than Hotels/Resorts in the same area. Commercial property may be a good choice too with new businesses coming into the area.
