Cove, OR

Tucked against the base of the Wallowa Mountains on the eastern edge of the Grande Ronde Valley, Cove is a quiet farming community best known for its scenic views and cherry orchards. Life moves at an easy pace here, with plenty of room to breathe and outdoor recreation right outside your front door. The naturally heated Cove Warm Springs pool is a favorite local gathering spot during the summer, and Mill Creek flows straight down from the foothills through town. It is an ideal spot if you want peaceful, small-town living while staying an easy fifteen-minute drive from everyday conveniences in La Grande.
