Good places to retire? Sorry-long

Considering our options. Loved living in Lyons for the past 25 years, but it’s kind of turned into little Boulder. Lost it’s small town feel. And since the flood 4 years ago now, the town has spent all its fema money on turning the town into a tourist attraction. While ignoring the needs of the residents. Boulder county has gotten so built up and so expensive.

Anyway my wife has made several trips to Oregon to visit her dying father, I went with her once. She’s kinda loving it up there because of all the wildlife , the cheap cost of buying a house, and way way way fewer people there. We could buy a nice house with an acre or two up there very cheap compared to where we are now.
So now she keeps talking about moving there in a couple years when I retire. Only thing I’m worried about is I read online that during Dec, Jan, and February it doesn’t get above freezing during the day, and can be 20below at night.! The town we’re looking at(Lakeview) is so small there isn’t even one restaurant you’ve ever heard of, only little cafes and such. Closest town big enough to have a Walmart or sams club and decent restaurants would be about 1-1/2hr drive away. Just not sure I could handle that much isolation and the winter temps.
Need some other ideas before we settle on Oregon.
