Perfect Getaway

We were looking for an overnight escape with a relaxing atmosphere and amenities. The Lodge did not disappoint and we really enjoyed our stay!! The coziness of the lobby and loft area were wonderful. Enjoyed sitting in the comfortable furniture and reading, playing pool and the exercise room. The breakfast was very good as well as the beverage and snack options. We can't say enough good things about our stay. We'll be back!

Great Stay

Our stay here was wounderful. The staff was very courteous and efficient. Our room was very clean, modern looking with a very nice color scheme. The view was nice overlooking Crooked River. I am sure it would be super fun in warmer months as there are open spaces to roam or go boating. We would definitely recommend staying here.

Beautiful and Friendly

This is the 5th year we've stayed to enjoy our family Christmas tradition here. The staff is absolutely amazing! Every one is super friendly, always available for any queations, suggestions, or any help they can offer. Every part of the inside and out is gorgeous and well maintained! The game room upstairs offers nice, relaxing family time as well. They offer a very nice, hot breakfast daily. And also tea, water, coffee and hot chocolate all day day long in the lobby. Sitting out back by the fire and soaking in the outdoors is wonderful and beautiful!
