Cottage Grove is an unremarkable town with remarkable pleasantness. Neither small nor large, friendly nor cold, classic nor extravagant, Cottage Grove houses about 10,000 agreeable residents in its average-looking streets. Beyond this, Cottage Grove and the surrounding South Willamette Valley are home to stunning natural sights: two lakes, a river, a bike path, famous covered bridges, and numerous forests, creeks, and hills. In Cottage Grove, look beyond the facade of normalness and have the time of your life.
CG is an interesting town...it’s very small, but very beautiful. Hillbillies, Walmart, fast food, loud trucks, art, farmers market, breweries, quaint, simple. There aren’t many attractions in town, but it’s fun to walk around in.
Cottage Grove Oregon has a small town feel with a lot of history. What started as a small mining and farming community has grown into a covered bridge destination town. Just a 30 minute drive from Eugene and a 5 minute drive to lakes and camping, Cottage Grove attracts a decent number of tourists in the summer to boost its income. The housing market has steadily increased the passed few years, and the community just added a brand new elementary school for the 2019 school year after finishing their family park in 2015. The town celebrates its mining and farming heritage throughout the year with parades, carnivals and art walks.
