Mount Hood National Forest is an ideal place to begin discovering Mt. Hood - Columbia River Gorge. This dense growth of trees comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only thing to do here. Allow time for other attractions like Timberline Lodge Ski Area, Mount Hood Meadows, and Cooper Spur Ski Area to make the most of what's on offer in the area.

Quinn at the check-in desk was amazing. My room was clean, quiet and perfect. Lily in the dinning room was a great help and dinner was beyond my expectations.

I feel it's important to temper any review with the correct expectation going in: THIS IS NOT THE RITZ CARLTON, nor does it profess to be. Don't expect luxury; that's not what this place is. I wanted an inexpensive place to sleep, was not traveling with my wife, and needed to be close to UO campus. This place checked all the boxes. The room was clean with new carpet; sheets were immaculate; the room was small but serviceable (desk, locking door, etc.) It's communal living -- shared bathroom and well-appointed kitchen (fridge, microwave, coffee maker, Keurig), so there's a bit of hallway/stairs noise from other guests, which is to be expected. If you need a place to crash for a night or two near campus, this place works. It felt a bit like a nice European hostel. One suggested improvement would be a room safe.

Timberline Lodge in a cold January twilight. Looks so cozy in there with the warm, crackling fires. I froze my butt off getting this shot, but I still would not have had it any other way. #adventure #oregon #lodge #pnw #mthood
