The atmosphere is warm and inviting. While the room décor is somewhat dated, it complements the woodsy character of the lodge and adds to its cozy, nostalgic feel. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would happily return.

Beautiful views from all rooms based on the building layout. Large Outdoor gas fireplace is a nice feature, along with onsite walking trail. They advertised a full breakfast, which it is not. There were no cooked eggs, bacon or sausage/ham. As such, it is a choice of only high sugar "foods" with the only exception being a fruitbowl with oranges/bananas and also boiled eggs. Since we were not interested in a sugarfest, we could not avail ourselves of the "included breakfast" and had to go up the street to "Bobs" to get what we consider a "full breakfast".

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.

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.
