The Northwest Rider

Cave B Inn is located adjacent to the Gorge Amphitheater in Quincy, Washington at Sagecliffe, a destination know for the Inn, as well as for one of the state’s premiere wineries by the same name. 

There is a range of accomodations from which to choose.  Guests can stay in a small detached cottage, or Cliffhouse, or choose from two levels of Cavern Rooms, with their cave-like entrance, vaulted ceilings and breathtaking views of the Columbia River.
 

Though there are many activities available at and surrounding the Cave B Inn,  plan some time during your stay to relax.  You will find upon arrival that this is the perfect place to do so.  One look at the Eastern Washington sky meeting the earth at its horizon, then cascading down the jagged cliffs of the Columbia Gorge to the river below and you’ll be ready to lift your feet, dawn your sunglasses and kick back for a relaxing afternoon.  Peaceful evenings can be enjoyed on the lawn just outside your room, watching as the sun sets over the hills opposite the Inn.

Wherever you are at Cave B, you are constantly reminded that you are staying within a living, breathing winery.  The stroll from your room to Tendrils (the estate restaurant) for instance, will lead you right through the heart of a vinyard, where you can admire grapes that will one day be used to create some of the State of Washington’s finest wine.

A pool was added at Cave B in 2007 and is nestled neatly into the the hillside below the main lodge and Cliffhouses.  It is a private escape and, with its stone pool deck and timber trellis, feels at peace with the surrounding landscape.  The north end of the deck rises slightly above grade as the land falls away below and offers a panoramic view that rivals any on the grounds.

You will find a trail next to the the Cavern Rooms that will take you down to the edge of Columbia River, meandering over and around the hills which lie between the Inn and the water.  It is a peaceful, exclusive hike that is limited to guests of the Inn.  Though you may encounter one or two other hikers on the trail, for the most part it will be you, alone, in the surrounding landscape.

Room rates at Cave B vary dramatically with the change of seasons.  Reservations can be made (and pricing checked) online at www.caveb.com.  Several themed packages are offered year round, which include room, spa treatments, wine tasting and events and activities.  Plan ahead during the summer as the Inn fills quickly, especially on weekends where concerts are being held at the amphitheater next door.

Sagecliff and the Cave B Inn and Winery form an oasis in an otherwise rugged, historically uninhabitable landscape.  The estate was born of an ‘idea’ over 20 years ago when its founder envisioned  developing venues contoured within, but respectful of, the natural beauty surrounding them.  Today, SageCliffe and the Cave B Inn and Estate Winery continue to develop into what has already become one of Washington State’s most remarkable destinations.
