  "Wonderful place....not at all spooky"
  "Having just seen 'The Shining' and 'Room 237' when my Kubrick fan son came to stay we took him to Timberline. The hotel was built in quick time during the Great Depression using locally available materials and is a masterpiece of vernacular architecture with many artisan designed details; well worth..." taking a camera for some inside shots as well as the views. They have a very interesting Lodge construction video on loop. Rooms are en-suite and on the small side but who cares when it is such a wonderful place and the views are just fabulous Alpine in the middle of Oregon. The road is kept clear all year round and we had no trouble getting up there in April when there is still plenty of skiing etc but worth a check if you go in winter. Excellent dinner and wine list with an equally super buffet or a la carte breakfast; friendly helpful staff try and give you a table with a view whenever they have a chance. Not a cheap place to stay but worth it. The thoroughly gemuetlich and very Ge... " More >

  "Wonderful historic lodge"
  "What a great place to spend a few spring days! The craftsmanship of the lodge is really something that shouldn't be missed. As a WPA project during the Depression, the lodge was built in less than two years and FDR came for the grand opening. The attention to detail from the wood carvings to the iro..."n fittings and handles in the shape of local and not so local animals is so very different from much of the building that goes on now. There's an interesting tour given by Forest Service volunteers, a great bar with delicious local cheeses and beers and a view of the glacier that is awe inspiring. We skied one perfect day on the Palmer glacier, 60 above, slusshy snow and a blue and white panorama of the NW that was exceptional. The winds kicked up the second and third day--when the wind blows up there, it really blows! The ski shop graciously gave me an upgraded voucher for demo skiis that is good for the next year without my even asking for it. The St. Bernard dogs at the front desk and l... " More >

  "Wow!"
  "We stayed one night in a queen room. The windows opened right out onto the snow and trees. There was huge snowstorm and complete whiteout, but if the weather had been good, we would have had a view straight up the mountain. The room was very cosy (although the heating took a little while to warm u..."p). The bed was comfy and warm. The furnishings were lovely. The bathroom, although not huge, had really nice soaps and shampoos. And the water was very warm. When we booked the hotel, we told them it was my birthday. There were bottles of apple cider and cookies waiting for us when we arrived. A nice touch! We had a casual dinner at the bar - excellent pulled pork tacos and chilli. Good service, good alcoholic hot drinks - warm buttered rum, in particular. In the morning, we had the buffet breakfast - it was excellent and diverse. The staff in the restaurant were good, but I think short-staffed. They were very busy and it took time to get their attention for coffee. Highly recommended... " More >
