The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department announced they are looking for a new manager for an eight room historic hotel in the far southeast corner of Oregon<\/a> after current concessionaires announced their retirement. Originally built in 1917, the eight-room hotel has earned a place on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. The property also includes the four-room Drover\u2019s Inn and a caretaker\u2019s house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I visited Frenchglen a few years back while staying at a cool ranch as well as spending time in the Steens Mountains<\/a>, Alvord Desert<\/a>, and visited Malheur National Wildlife Refuge<\/a> (Go a little farther and you can also see Pueblo Mountains<\/a> or Crane Hot Springs<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saying it is remote and isolated is an understatement. The next city is almost an hour away. The ‘town’ of Frenchglen has a population of 12. It was absolutely beautiful open country though. It reminded me a lot of New Mexico. I even bought the mug. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n\n\n

Officials said they\u2019re looking for applicants with a business background who have experience in hotels and restaurants. They\u2019re also looking for someone who can give the old hotel a modern touch, specifically with online reservations. The parks department is accepting proposals online<\/a> until 2 p.m. on June 2, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department said it is seeking 5% of revenue and $2,400 a month to maintain the property. Last year, the hotel brought in $418,770 in revenue, officials said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
