The View Point Inn, located in Corbett, Oregon, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. [1]
In 2008, the inn was used in filming of prom scenes in the first film of the Twilight Saga film series.[ citation needed] The exposure generated by the film was credited with giving the hotel and its restaurant a boost in business. [2]
In July 2011, the building's second floor was gutted by a fire, and its owners, Geoff Thompson and Angelo Simione, faced financial difficulties, [3] as the insurance on the building had lapsed. [4] In October 2013, plans were made to rebuild and reopen the historic structure, with work slated to begin the winter of 2013–2014. [4] Restore Oregon listed the inn on its 2012 list of Endangered Places; in December 2014 it reported that restoration was unlikely. [5]
In 2016, Heiner and Sheron Fruehauf purchased the Inn and began restoration. According to the owners, they anticipate reopening the Inn as a holistic health retreat in 2024. [6]
