I've been to many, many hot springs and Summer Lake is in my top 3 favorites. It's the water. The…read morewater clean and hot! It has a unique softness to it that is hard to explain. There are three tubs and an indoor pool (which was closed for the winter). The windows in the changing rooms caught me by surprise. I didn't even notice them until I made eye contact with people outside. I quickly put my suit on and proceeded outside to see their naked bodies getting into the tubs. So I feel like we're even. The little on-site store has all kinds of cool things including little vials of bentonite clay, which is amazing for mosquito bites. There were no bugs of any kind during my visit- but now I am prepared! I spent more money in the store than I did for my camping spot/soak. Highly recommend!!

The pools were full of kids and are very small more like a couples type of setting. Not for kids. No lighting leading to the very tiny pools the large indoor one was closed. We didn't know that till after booking. We won't be back sadly there is better cheaper options closer to home.

You can tell a…read morelot of care has gone into creating a space that feels easy and peaceful in the middle of the Oregon Outback. The online check-in process was smooth, the room was spotless, and everything worked exactly as it should. Paisley itself is quiet and remote, which is part of the experience. If you're looking to unplug, slow down, and enjoy a different pace, this is exactly it. Whether you're passing through or looking for a place to recharge while exploring the Oregon Outback, this is a perfect home base. We will absolutely stay here again.

George - at the front desk - was so kind and easy to talk to. Daniel was our waiter most nights…read more He, too, was kind. It seemed they never had enough staff. Perhaps that's why when I ordered the summer spinach salad - but got no spinach (I can't eat arugula and it was mostly arugula - with like 3 spinach leaves). We also were never made aware that there is a shortage of bananas (I love bananas). We were put in the wrong room the first night. We had no clue until we tried to charge our morning coffee to the room. Max (he was so busy and made delicious coffee) said a name that was most definitely not mine. Thank God the people didn't show up in the middle of the night! A beautiful resort and even better if you like golf.

The Lodge is both a lodge and a restaurant of the same name. This review is for the restaurant…read more There are few options for dining in the Summer Lake area. If not The Lodge, you're looking at driving to Paisley or Christmas Valley. Possibly Silver Lake if the cafe is open. We often stay at The Playa Art and Science residency compound located to the south on the edge of Summer Lake but had never before dined at The Lodge. Won't be the last time, I think. - Cozy dining room with a small attached gift shop. No loud music. - Smallish menu with nevertheless a good range of 'comfort food' choices. Steak, chicken, chicken-fried steak, burgers, salmon, fish & chips, salads, etc. - Beer and wine are available. The four of us had: - chicken breast with white sauce - fish & chips - chicken-fried steak - salmon. All were quite good except for the fish & chips which was a bit off and was replaced with a burger (local beef). Side salads, mashed potato sides were ok too. The side vegetables were a bit bland but not bad. They have a few desserts too. Brownie sundae (or sundae brownie, I forget) is delicious and decadent. Brownies, ice cream, whipped cream. I could have this as the main course. I thought the peach pie was solid too but that style pie isn't my favorite. Service is very friendly, efficient. They were quite reasonable about replacing the fish & chips with a burger (it happens - I don't subtract marks for the fish not being the freshest this one time). Reasonable prices too. Recommended, even were it not one of very few options nearby.

We stayed here for one night and checked in after hours. The environment itself is beautiful,…read morequiet, rustic, and surrounded by nature, but there were some serious gaps in communication that affected our stay. The on-site store had very limited essentials and only accepted cash. We were told the card machine was down, but another family checking out after a multi-day stay said it had been broken the entire time. There was no prior notice about the cash-only setup, not even an email, and that made things unnecessarily difficult for travelers just passing through. The mosquitoes were relentless. My sister, who is allergic, got bitten all over within minutes. There was no warning or signage about the bug situation and no repellents or advice offered during check-in. We ended up buying Benadryl and bug spray from the store, which thankfully helped, but it was expensive and wiped out all the cash we had. The man working at the store was incredibly kind and tried his best to help us, which we really appreciated. Inside the cabin, the space was cute and cozy but basic. There weren't many toiletries provided, so definitely bring your own shampoo, conditioner, and lotion. That said, we were really happy to have an oven and a sink, which gave us the option to cook and clean on our own. After days of road trip meals and takeout, that felt like a luxury. We also saw birds foraging near the cabin and got to canoe on the creek for free. That ended up being one of the most peaceful and memorable parts of our trip. My mom and I shared a quiet moment on the water that made the visit feel special in spite of the rough patches. This place has a lot of potential and could be great for people who arrive fully stocked and prepared. With better communication about the cash policy, mosquitoes, and what amenities are or aren't included, it could be much more welcoming for short-term visitors.

They were really busy when we arrived and we were seated about 10-15 minutes late, but we were not in a hurry. We got a table by the windows and had a beautiful view of the water. Our waitress was very sweet and did a great job making sure we had everything we needed. The food was good- buffet style- 2 types of turkey, prime rib, ham, twice baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, Mac-n-cheese, shrimp, stuffed mushrooms, Brussels sprouts etc. All the food was warm/hot well stocked and buffet area was well maintained. The desserts had a lot of great options including the pumpkin pie which was delicious. I would recommend checking out Lake of the Woods. We have also been there in the summer months and parked the boat on the dock to run in for popsicles and refreshments. Great place to hang out as a family.

When I asked what happened 45 minutes later as we waited she became combative. Told me I couldn't expect a window tabke on Memorial Day when she just told us we could get one if we waited ten or 20 minutes. She was ridiculous, telling me there were no window tanked available, when I had a reservation AND waited per her instructions. It ruined my husband's birthday. The host there was rude and condescending when we just wanted the table we reserved and waited for. Wish I had gotten her name, but we just left pissed off. You know what? Maybe don't put a child there? With no manners. It's not the first time it's happened to us either. It's a bad look for LOW and it ruined my husband's birthday for no reason. She told us 10 to 20 minutes. Then she was pissed that we wanted the table we reserved. Were are disappointed because we are locals who go there all the time. What utter bullshit. That host cost you money. I hope you at least talk to the person. She has a bad attitude and we did not. I guess she was freaked out because it was busy? Whatever it was, she was inappropriate and ruined our day. Will start going to Harriman's or the Running Y. They are decent and respectful to people. Christ! Do something. Thank you!

We first visited for dinner and were made to feel so special and the food was so great that we booked a family Thanksgiving weekend cabin. It was incredible from the grandkids on down, everyone said that this was the best family holiday we ever went on. The fishing with the grandkids in their stocked pond was great even then and the food as usual was out of this world. Karen and Steve Simmons and family are the most wonderful of hosts. You feel like they are including you into their family. We have since been back for our employee holiday Christmas party and many dinners and any newcomers we bring with us are just slack-jawed open-mouthed thrilled. Thank you for so many beautiful memories. Bobby and Lois Brodmerkle
