About Timberline Lodge

Timberline Lodge

Recognition Programs

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.

    Any business that is not pet friendly shut not be in business, a lot of this angels have save a lot of people.

    They are not dog friendly, excuse me but when you get stuck in the snow WHO COMES TO THE RESCUE. Any business that is not pet friendly shut not be in business. Will you leave a family member in the car because they feel they are a nuisance. I have seen humans that act worse than a dog cud ever acct. Shame on you. I hope I lot of turist see this post and don't patronize your establishment.

    Thank you! A wonderful and precious experience

    This historic and unique building is an important historical piece. It was lovingly built and it is so impressive. The enormous timbers, the stonework, the artwork. And it is so beautifully preserved. It is almost 100 years old, but it is in fine condition. The service was first rate. The restaurants were very, very good. The building is sited at 6000 feet, in the Mt Hood National Forest, on the slopes of Mt Hood.

    Nostalgic Step Back in Time

    A historic visit to a classic American lodge. Built almost 100 years ago and dedicated by FDR this lodge is a step back in time. It seems as if there are zero “modern” upgrades to the hotel…from the door knobs, to thick wooden chairs it’s as if you are there for the grand opening. If you love history and authenticity you must make a visit here. If you want modern luxury this is not the place. The wear and tear of time is visible in areas but it is not a bad thing, it just adds to the historical authenticity. The views from the base of Mt Hood are amazing!

    Relaxing long weekend

    This is our second visit to the timberline and we made it a long weekend this time vs our last trip which was only 1 night. The lodge itself is historic. The exterior was used as the exterior of the Overlook Hotel in The Shining. They show a video about the architecture in the museum area and it’s well worth checking out. It’s up at the base of Mt. Hood. Very secluded. Absolutely stunning. No “plastic” - all wood and iron. They have fireplaces in the common areas. Several lounge areas. We enjoyed the game room where you can borrow shuffleboard or ping pong from the front desk and play games. The room was gorgeous and clean. I love the feather beds. Fresh mountain water left in your room daily. There’s a really nice hot tub pool big enough for several families. We enjoyed that. There’s also a really cute gift shop. Only downside was the Wine Roulette experience. It was not cheap. They had an event going on and I believe there was miscommunication so no one was prepared. It was supposed to be a tasting and history but instead they just poured us a glass of wine and the food and beverage manager gave us about a 5 minute rushed tour and had us spin and leave. I wish they would’ve either cancelled or rescheduled if they weren’t prepared for it. A lot of people raved about it but I don’t think we got a fair experience to say whether it’s worth it (based on what we got - it’s a resounding no). Regardless, it’s an amazing lodge and well worth the trip up. I’m considering making it an annual vacation spot for a nice relaxing couple of days every year.

    Fantastic time at a beautiful and well maintained historic lodge!

    What a fantastic place to enjoy! Spent 2 nights in a queen room with a view of the mountain top in Feb for my birthday. Room is historically furnished but beds have been updated and reasonable comfortable. The tap water comes from the mountain aquifer and is so pure they have it in a decanter for your enjoyment. All the food options at the lodge are wonderful! Blue Ox Bar has great pizza, Ram’s Head Bar has Mac N Cheese and an impressive salad. Cascade Dining Room has gourmet traditional breakfasts, as well as a complimentary continental breakfast for guests. Coffee and tea are also available in the first floor lobby from 6 to 9ish. The outdoor swimming pool is heated to a comfortable 90’, and the jacuzzi is as long as the pool! Towels are available poolside, and entry is gated by a daily code. Bring your own bathrobe (unless you are in a king room) as it gets chilly out there. Warm up in the dry/wet sauna afterwards! And don’t forget to track down the resident St Bernard’s, Bruno and Heidi, who can be found in various locations throughout the day! Can’t wait for our next visit!
