The first thing I’d say is how beautiful is this lodge. Upon my entrance, I could see the stone fireplace, vaulted ceilings, and numerous Christmas decorations, in addition to the always available coffee, tea, water, etc. The pool was of good size, and of interesting design. The game room above the check-in desk was a pleasant surprise with a pool table, large TV, and comfortable sitting all around. The breakfasts were more than adequate with many choices of hot and cold foods with a special treat on Christmas morning. The rooms were sufficient in size with a great view of the river, the shower/stool were in a separate little room, the towels/washcloths were of excellent fluffiness and softness, and in the other room there was a large sink, a refrigerator, and many amenities which the lodge provided. Downsize: the beds are hard (needed a topper), the bath/shower is quite narrow causing me to hit the shower curtain every time I turned around which resulted in some water getting out onto the tiled bathroom floor which made it slippery upon exiting the shower even with the bath towel on the floor. Needed: a curved curtain rod, and a longer curtain plus every shower should have a grab bar for safety. Over the tub, caulking was cracked and in need of paint. The shower head could be replaced with one that doesn’t spray so harshly. Above the sink – the upper wall covering was bubbling, caulking cracked, too much moisture in that area. Beds are hard. There's more good.....

My family has stayed at Crooked River Lodge several times and normally have a positive experience. We arrived on a Friday after skiing and decided to go to the pool/hot tub. Unfortunately, they were hosting an “open swim” for twenty kids in the area who were rude and poorly behaved. The next night, we again went to the pool where several teenagers were displaying some unwanted PDA. Since we noticed people getting let in without using a key, I am assuming they were not hotel guests. Not sure we will go back.

Beautiful property! They have so many things for you to use…kayaks, fishing poles, skis, etc. They have the most friendliest staff I have ever experienced. They have the most beautiful grounds and an awesome fire pit which they light every morning and ever evening! Definitely going back!
