Welcome

Silverton, Oregon

What’s so special about Noble Inn?

Well, for one thing, it is a beautifully restored Queen Ann Revival-style home. It was built in 1904 by none other than June D. Drake, renowned as the Father of Silver Falls State Park. He planned and worked from 1902 to 1933 to get the 10 Silver Falls set aside as a protected natural treasure. Today Silver Falls State Park is the largest state park in Oregon.

So, history has already been made in this house (In fact it is listed in the National Register of Historic Places). And history could be made here again, by you and your fellow enthusiasts as you prayerfully plan to do something great for the glory of God.

That’s what makes Noble Inn unique. On your first stay, it may be merely a high-quality Christian Bed & Breakfast where you will enjoy a quiet place to get away from the pressures of life and work. If you are a Christian foreign missionary or a pastor, come for a FREE stay of rest and respite, with ample time to read, study, pray, think, and maybe even dream again.

Then, if the dream is great enough, you can gather your team of fellow enthusiasts together for another stay to envision how you might participate more wonderfully in what God is doing today in your particular situation, household, business, church, mission, or other organization. How might God use you to make history in this old house again?

Even though we have not yet met you, Bonnie and I are already praying for you and preparing for your visit. We pray, “God bring us Christian visionaries in every area of Christian service. Let them bring their bold, “crazy,” seemingly “unrealistic” God-inspired ideas that will only be possible by faith. Let them stay with us, as noble men and women, to make truly noble plans, and then to follow through with those plans with whatever noble deeds are needed to make their vision come true.”

this old House is also Our Home!

My dear wife, Bonnie and I live here at The Noble Inn year-round. It’s our home. Our quarters are located at the back of the house. We are a Christian home and the atmosphere reflects this.

Bonnie and I quietly wear all the hats needed behind the scenes to make this place a joy for you to stay in. We serve God by serving you as your innkeepers, cooks, butlers, housekeepers, gardeners, and groundskeepers.

Upon request, we can also serve you as experienced discussion facilitators and idea sounding boards. If you like we may encourage you along your path of life as seasoned biblical Christian marriage, family, parenting, and financial counselors, coaches and advisors, and even workshop/seminar instructors. I (Gregg) have over 256,000 alumni families from my various educational events since 1983). As a Teaching Elder in our local church, I can serve by teaching the Bible on many topics whenever you desire.

When all goes well, I (Gregg) can serve you as a wedding or marriage recommitment officiant in our parlor, or (as weather permits), for a larger group outdoors under our pergola. Our outdoor wedding venue can host up to 80 guests.

Bonnie and I are ready. So, how can we serve you?

Pastors & Missionaries, “Come away to a quiet place and get some rest.”

Church Pastors Seeking a Respite Retreat & Foreign Missionaries on Furlough in the United States May Stay at Noble Inn Free of Charge.

Having served as a Pastor/Teaching Elder at several churches since 1978, and serving now as such at Gracious Cross Reformed Church in Salem, Oregon, I know it is never easy to do a good job in that high-pressure ministry. And, as one who has known and supported missionaries throughout my Christian life, I know how difficult it can be to come back to the United States to reconnect with supporting churches and recruit additional supporters. So, Bonnie and I have decided in the light of God’s Word to invest some of our “unrighteous mammon” in these two categories of guests. This is one great way we can lay up for ourselves eternal treasures in heaven. So, attention all local church pastors seeking a respite retreat (with or without your wives), and all foreign missionaries on furlough (with or without your families): You may stay here at Noble Inn, free of charge.***

To book your stay, please call or text us at 503-926-1388.

Through PayPal at info@NobleInn.org or through Venmo to info@NobleInn.org.

Foot Notes

**HOUSE RULES: Noble Inn is a business-as-mission ministry lifestyle rather than a mere business. Though we welcome everyone as our guests, we ask everyone to please respect our religious beliefs.

*** Local churches and missionary-sending churches that have set aside funds to support pastoral retreats for their pastors and housing for their missionaries on furlough are asked to consider donating part of those budgeted funds to Noble Inn to help support us in our ministry hospitality toward their members. Thank you.

Enjoy quality & Comfort.
