To be close to the heart of downtown Klamath Falls, we recommend cozying up in a cabin at Klamath Falls KOA Journey, or booking a room with a view of the lake at the Fairfield Inn.

Start the weekend early with a delightful pause at Nana’s Tea Room in downtown Klamath Falls. This charming spot is a hidden gem featuring antique teapots, themed tea rooms with elegantly chosen décor, and a full English-style tea service. Sip floral blends and enjoy a tower of delicate finger sandwiches, scones with clotted cream, and sweet confections—perfect for easing into a relaxing weekend.
After tea, take a stroll through downtown Klamath Falls, where mom can browse local boutiques, gift shops, and artisan stores. Find vintage treasures, your next read at Canvasback Books, handmade jewelry, eco-friendly beauty products, and one-of-a-kind souvenirs to remember the weekend.
Wrap up the evening with a cozy dinner—Opt for flavorful Thai cuisine or treat mom to a hearty, classic dinner at Rooster’s for steaks, seafood, and warm hospitality.

Saturday: Adventure, Spa, & Sweeping Views
Wake up early and take a scenic drive (about 1 hour) to Crater Lake National Park. Bundle up and catch sunrise as golden light spills over the rim and reflects off the deepest lake in America. It’s an awe-inspiring start to the day—and a photo op mom won’t forget. Snowshoes for adventuring around the park can be rented at The Ledge in downtown Klamath Falls!
Refuel with a casual, healthy lunch downtown. Try Nibbley’s for yummy sandwiches and sweet treats, or enjoy Leap of Taste’s fresh fare with local coffee!
Now it’s time to pamper mom. The Running Y Spa & Wellness Center offers everything from hot stone massages to rejuvenating facials. While she’s enjoying her treatment, the rest of the family can relax by the pool, golf at their Arnold Palmer Sweet 16 course, explore nearby walking trails, or grab a drink at the on-site restaurant.
End the day with a sunset stroll at Moore Park or Lake Ewauna Trail, just minutes from downtown, where you can watch the sky turn pink over the water.
