Gather round the immense farmhouse table with long benches for meals.

Head outdoors to the enormous deck for a soak in the large hot tub or just a little time to kick back, put up your feet, and enjoy a conversation with your favorite people while basking in the beautiful natural wilderness around you. The Neighborhood: The 'Great Blue Lodge' not only offers luxe amenities and a beautiful interior, but it also boasts an incredible location near all the Mt. Hood lodges, outdoor recreation, restaurants and more! In spring and summer, there explore the fabulous biking and hiking trails, get a thrill with the Alpine Slide, or cast your line in Trillium Lake for some trout. Mt. Hood Adventure is always a great choice for families and groups, as it offers everything from Malibu race cars and zip lines, to a bungee tower and tree top walk. Come wintertime, the Mt. Hood area transforms into a snowy mecca! Your entire party will enjoy the easy access to all Mt. Hood lodges, with fantastic winter skiing, snow shoeing, and snowboarding. While you're in the area, be sure to explore the darling historical town of Government Camp, which includes a general store, local restaurants, and multiple brewpubs. Getting Around: You will need a vehicle to get to the lodge. From Nov-March you will need snow chains or 4 wheel drive with snow tires. If you attempt to drive up the mountain without either of these and have to call for help you will be fined by the local authorities for not having proper chains or tires on your vehicle. Driving on the mountain can be very dangerous without chains or 4 wheel drive/snow tire combo. There is transportation available from Government Camp up to Timberline and Meadow but you will have to investigate dates/times/pick up locations as they change frequently. I suggest doing an internet search if interested in advance of arrival as they book up fast. Interaction with Guests: We value guests privacy but will be available for any questions or concerns and if needed can be available onsite.
