We used the Pine Valley Lodge as a "base camp" before and after our backpacking trip in the Wallowas. It was wonderful.
Staying anywhere with twin toddlers is a challenge, but our spacious rooms (with mini-kitchen) gave us room to spread out and play, and the grounds were a shady pleasant place to relax. Friendly staff directed us to the best nearby playgrounds, cheerfully accommodated our messes at breakfast, and even had our favorite "blankie" (which mistakenly and sadly got left behind)waiting on the bed for us when we returned for the second half of our stay.
I wouldn't limit the Pine Valley Lodge to a family trip either -- I think it would be a great, relaxing get-away for a couple or friends. The property is big enough to spread out so we found it easy to be alone or to hang out with other guests on the deck or over breakfast. The décor is quirky and casual, the common spaces inviting, and the breakfast yummy.
Overall, a very comfy, cozy, out-of-the-way spot for a stop over or a stand alone vacation. I would highly recommend it. We're definitely planning to return.
