The world is moving and changing at a rapid pace. People everywhere are craving places that hold a new vision of how we do business—one that's sustainable in how we relate to the land, each other and our community. At the Balch Hotel we’re creating a unique hospitality experience: one that joins the stunning natural beauty of the Columbia River Gorge and Mount Hood, with local, sustainable resources.

1. The Vision

2. People crave places that hold a new vision of how we
do business—one that's sustainable in how we relate to
the land, each other and our community.

3. We’re creating a unique hospitality experience: one
that joins the stunning natural beauty of the Columbia
River Gorge and Mount Hood, with local,
sustainable resources.

4. Our vision for this project includes:

5. • Commitment to hospitality:
Boutique hotel experience with simple luxury and
sustainability as core ideals. Friendly, helpful, engaged
staff; clean, cozy antique-filled rooms with
locally sourced pampering amenities.

6. • Commitment to
community:
Creative local resourcing
and hosting of
community building
events. This location is a
gather place for all.

7. • Commitment to the
past and future:
Preservation of the
historic nature of the
building and town,
while upgrading
infrastructure in
alignment with
sustainable building
and business practices.

8. From "Just a Dream" to Reality

9. Hi, I’m Josiah Dean. I’ve
always loved historic inns
and have had the privilege
to manage incredible
properties in and around
national parks, from
Alaska to Maine. I’ve
always dreamed of having
my own hotel to run.

10. Complementary Skills, One Vision

11. I am Claire Sierra. For
years I’ve had my own
vision of having a
retreat center. I’ve been
leading people in
personal transformation
for over 2 decades. I’ve
longed for a place
where people can rest,
restore and revitalize.

12. The Opportunity

13. We found a wonderful opportunity to fulfill our visions
in the Historic Balch Hotel in the Columbia Gorge area
of Oregon. It is a beautiful property with ample
common space and gorgeous park-like grounds for
weddings, events and retreats.

14. What We Need

15. To bring the hotel to the "next level" we need operating
capital to improve the infrastructure as well as invest in
marketing and promotion.
So we’re coming to you to support our vision. We need
your help.

16. How You Can Help

17. • Support our Crowd-funding effort on IndieGoGo.
• Get the word out: help us make some noise about
our campaign. Share on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest
and LinkedIn.
• Come by and visit. The hotel is open and taking
reservations.

18. If you're inspired by our vision
and expertise, let's talk. Are
you looking for an investment
opportunity? Or have an out of
the box idea? Perhaps there’s a
collaborative opportunity
waiting to be hatched. Please
contact us regarding
collaborative ownership or
other creative options.

19. Regardless of your level of
participation, we thank you
for your input and we’d
love to have you on board.
