About Timberline Lodge

Timberline Lodge

Legendary. Awe-inspiring. Steeped in rich Pacific Northwest history and built by hand to withstand the ages. 

The lodge guest rooms reflect the era of handmade furnishings and hand-painted artwork. This isn't your average, run-of-the-mill ski lodge.

Built in 1936 and declared a National Historic Landmark in 1977, Timberline Lodge is one of Oregon’s most popular tourist attractions, drawing nearly two million visitors every year. Considered an architectural wonder, it’s still being used for its original intent—a magnificent ski lodge and mountain retreat for all to enjoy. 

Timberline is home to North America's longest ski season. In the height of winter, the ground floor of the lodge is typically fully buried in snow, with entry through a snow tunnel, or directly into the second floor. The lodge, combined with with its cozy rooms, pub, restaurant and resident St. Bernards (Bruno and Heidi), is a welcome relief after a full day on the slopes.

    Mount Hood Adventures

    We reserved the Timberline Lodge after reading it’s a National Historic Landmark on Mount Hood built by hand during the Great Depression. It is AMAZING! Features hand-carved wood, wrought iron, and stone masonry crafted by locals. The entire story has been preserved for you to see; learn; and experience. Prior to our stay the “Grasshopper Fire” broke in Oregon. The Hotel was close enough for us to get daily updates yet far enough to recommend we come. That alone was a life experience well handled by the hotel personnel. We had a very cozy King room facing Mount Hood. A beautiful view seeing it capped with snow in August! We had a wonderful dinner; eloquent presentation; seamless service into a multi-sensory journey. The craft cocktails were on point as well. This is a very special memory in Oregon! Be sure you reserve this one and if you ski even better!

    Why Stop to Stay.

    If you are passing over Mt Hood, try to get a reservation to stay overnight. It will be an experience you will not forget due to the fabulous scenery and the luxurious comfort. Even if you are not a skier or boarder, just watching the hordes of folks streaming up to the lifts is an amazing activity. And a dinner in the dining room is well worth the time, especially seated at a window looking down the Cascade Range.

    July Timberline

    Wonderful place to visit. A wonderland of historical lore and hand-made wood construction. We were there in summer and the hiking/walking was grand.

    Timberline is always the best

    There are few places as truly wonderful as Timberline Lodge. The building, the views, the food are all just the best. This is not "fancy" . It is warm, cozy, and even the the kids I was with (7 and 10) loved the ambience and of course, Heidi and Bruno the St Bernards... The pool and enormous hot tub are great amenities.
