Living in Gold Hill
Gold Hill is a river town that never got busy. The Rogue runs right past downtown, Ti'lomikh Falls river access sits at the end of the Rogue River Greenway, and the Oregon Vortex has drawn curious visitors up Sardine Creek since the 1930s.
Breakfast is at Patti's Kitchen, a scratch diner worth the exit off I-5. Del Rio Vineyards' big historic estate is just up the highway, and Abbie Lane Farm grows heirloom fruit nearby.
Homes are a mix of small in-town houses, river properties, and rural acreage in the hills on both sides of the valley.
