This is the Balch Hotel located in the small town of Dufur, Oregon in the Columbia Gore wine region. The Balch is a 1907 boutique hotel with on-site spa services, sunny patio, and beautiful garden grounds with mountain views. @balchhotel In the nearby city of the Dallas was the Sunshine Mill. The Sunshine Mill’s claim to fame is that it made the flour for the Che-it crackers. In 1913 the mill was the first place in the Dalles to have electricity through the use of an Edison Motor. During the day the mill had electricity. At night when the work at the mill completed, the mill turned over the use of the electricity to the Balch Hotel. So the Balch was the first inn in the area to have electricity. @balchhotel @traveloregon #columbiagorge #columbiagorgewine #thedalles #historichotels #retireearlyandtravel #traveladdict #travelaholic #travelforwine #travelwithus #iloveoregon #wineregion #privatetour #historicarchitecture #inns #travellog #travelcommunity #travelgrams #travelphotography #1907 @sunshinemillwinery (at Balch Hotel) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1JJjcDgwK8/?igshid=1unp3h5htrqfe
