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.

Amazing stay
The room was great after a long drive. I sat on the balcony for awhile and then went down to the pool with the waterfall, the hot tub was relaxing, and after a hot shower in my room , sat by the fire with some of the other guests and talked till bed time.
