The Lodge
Take it easy on the North Santiam
A custom log lodge finished in 2026, raised from rock and timber salvaged on this property after the Beachie Creek fire. Spend the day fishing, rafting, and kayaking from your own stretch of river — then come back to the firepit, the spa hot tub, or the hot stone sauna facing the water. Bring the boats; there's room for the trailers, and a Level 2 EV charger for the drive home.
Well-behaved dogs are welcome — just tell us when you book.

"This cabin made our trip unforgettable. The views were absolutely beautiful, and the sound of the river made everything feel so peaceful and relaxing."
"Coffee on the porch listening to the river was my favorite. Hands down the most convenient and comfortable I've stayed."
"We stayed for my sister's wedding weekend — absolutely amazing, honestly even better than the photos. The hosts were so kind, helpful, and easy to communicate with."
