I'm looking for accommodations from romantic to wacky fun to stay in for a week in November. It doesn't have to necessarilly be a hotel either. Cabins, cottages and B&B's are preferred. Ideally, I'd like it to have a fireplace. Anyone have any suggestions?

McMenamins is the first place that comes to my mind. Someone else just mentioned it. It is very unique. Not a Bed and Breakfast. Not a cabin. But, it is unique anyway.
You can also try tripadvisor.com I'll give you a link to both websites.
FALL ASLEEP IN CLASS
AT McMENAMINS KENNEDY SCHOOL
Remember when the worst thing you could imagine was being kept after class? My, how things have changed! At Kennedy School, you'll never want to leave.
Here you may chew gum, laugh out loud, and even pull that special someone's pigtails (as long as they approve, of course!), take a nap in class, enjoy an aged whiskey and a cigar in detention, and enjoy a movie in the old auditorium. The possibilities here are endless.
Since it opened in 1915, this historic elementary school has been a beloved fixture of its Northeast Portland neighborhood. McMenamins has renovated the once-abandoned scholastic gem and turned it into Portland's most delightful lodging establishment. Here you'll find 35 comfy guestrooms fashioned from former classrooms (complete with original chalkboards and cloakrooms, private baths, telephones and modems), a truly unique restaurant, multiple cozy bars, a movie theater, soaking pool, and even a working brewery (just wait until the principal hears about this!). Extensive original artwork and historical photographs cover the walls, ceilings, doorways and hallways of this place and the gift shop beckons with mementos of your stay.
For neighborhood residents, out-of-town guests and business travelers, Kennedy School is a memorable and comfortable place to gather. The hotel is also located minutes from Portland International Airport and shopping in downtown Portland.
