Mazama Lodge

Debbie Henderson

As for the location, it was excellent. In terms of the staff, they miss the mark big time. The kitchen manager, Ryan, was extremely rude and late for just about every meal. I've got nothing against mazama, as a business entity so to speak, but Ryan was just a bit much. He gets drunk every night and starts hitting on every woman in sight. Keep your eyes on your girl if you choose to visit mazama and prepare for burnt toast and leftover eggs in a box.

Attended a 5th grade Science School trip for 3 days/2 nights. Great local. Slept in bunk room with one other adult & it was unheated & COLD. Other bunk room was toasty with 20 people in it. A "rustic" experience compared to Collins Lake or Timberline.

The Mazama Lodge is a wonderful place to relax & unwind in the company of Mazama Mountaineer members an others who love being in and climbing on our beautiful awesome mountains. The private rooms and dorms are quite comfortable, and the Batbrooms are terrific with large showers and lots of very Hot water. The Great Room has a huge fireplace, cozy chairs & sofas along with ample dining tables& chairs. The meals are very good along with fresh baked delights prepared in house by a talented baker. YUM!!. There is a sledding hill out in front of the lodge and many trails can be accessed nearby. In non snow months there is a large Teepee available for overnight stays. All in all The Mazama Lodge is a very unique & terrific place in the Mt. Hood Natioal Forest.

A cozy, members-only lodge in the heart of Government Camp. Although it is members-only, they allow associated groups like Sierra Club and other climbing groups to use the lodge as well. Check the website. Book well in advance as the 3 private rooms go quickly, or grab a bunk in the hostel-style dorms: men's, women's and co-ed bunk rooms with about 20 beds each. Arrive early if you need a lower bunk, as the bunk beds are stacked three high, and if you don't love heights, it could make for an anxious sleeping situation. Bring earplugs if sleeping in the dorms! Other than that, the main hall is comfy and cozy, the meals are delicious (the homemade bread is my fave) and the fireplaces are very fine to read a book by when you're relaxing after a day in the snow. Summer programs hosted here too, such as hikes. A hidden gem.
