    Kids enjoying everything the lodge has to offer, including 3D toys.

    This place is absolutely amazing! The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you arrive. For such a beautiful historic lodge, it's exceptionally clean and wonderfully maintained. The beach access is unbeatable--perfect for fishing, boating, swimming, or simply relaxing while the kids play in the waves. The location is ideal for every kind of adventure, whether you're biking, hiking, exploring the water, or just slowing down and soaking in the scenery. We can't wait to come back!

    Odell's was the most amazing place to stay during my PCT hike. I was very comfortable, cared for and well fed. The room at the lodge was the perfect mix of cozy-meets-modern. Staff were so kind to me and catered to my unique thru-hiker needs. They even shuttled me around because I was traveling on foot! This was the PERFECT place to recover after being caught in a multi-day snow storm on the mountain. The owners are outdoor enthusiasts, so they are genuinely interested in helping everyone enjoy the outdoors. Very hiker friendly! Great atmosphere. Caring staff. Cozy rooms. Stunning views. Delicious food. Cute gift shop. Roaring fires. Fair prices. Live music. I was able to get the rest I needed and to get all of my things prepared to continue on my PCT adventure. I was treated like family. I felt like I was in Heaven. Unforgettable.

    The nearby campgrounds we were targeting were closed for the season, so we turned around and headed back to Odell hoping they had a spot. Happy accident! Warm lodge, lovely cabins, and nice camping spots along the lake. We ended up grabbing a spot and heading to the lodge for both dinner and breakfast the next morning. They definitely have a family atmosphere...super friendly and welcoming. The food was good and the views beautiful.

    Pretty dock to sit & relax...

    Had a wonderful Cesar Salad & top it off with the Marionberry Cobbler ala mode! Beautiful view & wonderful service! Get away & treat yourself!

    Beautiful sunset views at the doc

    I came here for my birthday weekend. It was the PERFECT getaway! The staff is extremely kind and helpful. We stayed in the Lake House cabin which had a beautiful, yet, "at-home" feel to it and is tucked away privately away from everyone else. Its so quiet, and the views of the lake from the living room and master bedroom are epic. I enjoyed sitting inside by the fire and watching outside, it was so peaceful. We ate at the lodge, the food was so yummy. We loved the soups and bread. Perfect after being in the snow. Wes did a phenomenal job serving our table. We also went on a guided snowmobile tour. Candice was our guide and she did fantastic. She made our adventure so much fun!! My cheeks hurt after because I was laughing and smiling so much. We will DEFINITELY be back!!! Thanks again for our beautiful stay!!!

    You want to go!! Quaint historical lodge located in a beautiful setting with incredible views. You will be surprised by how good the food is since you're in the middle of the woods. On the menu tonight, we had the best chicken corn chowder we've ever had, an amazing Authentic Italian style lasagna, and marionberry cobbler. It was super delicious. Portions are large, and prices are great. We also loved our super friendly wait staff. We left with full bellies and big smiles on our faces. Do yourself a favor and eat here. You can also rent a cabin, enjoy water sports, take a hike, and visit nearby waterfalls. It's 5 stars for sure!

    I have just had an enjoyable weekend at the Odell lake lodge and resort. This was chosen as the venue for my daughter's wedding and it turned out to be a great success. Bruce, who is the new owner, has a solid staff that was accommodating and available to our whims of change. Special shout out to Jack and Liz. The movers and shakers that kept this wedding and reception flowing carefree for all guests. It rained before and after the wedding and they took care of table coverages and continued on with dinner services. For our personal wants for privacy, we rented all campsites, lodge rooms and cabins for this wedding. The restaurant food at the lodge was great. Well served with indoor and outdoor dining. That, while sitting with cocktails, the view of the lake, was memorable. Thank you Bruce and your entire staff. Rob Father of the bride

    We were looking for somewhere to stay near Crater Lake National Park. We lucked out finding this beautiful location. The staff was so nice and accommodating, the restaurant was very good and conveniently located. The views were top notch! We didn't do it, there were lots of things to do.

    Odell Lake is an incredibly serene and peaceful place, home to spectacular trees and impeccable scenery. It is an expanse dedicated to preserving the finest that Oregon offers. It had been about a decade since I stayed here. I didn't have a poor experience way back when, but this recent experience was far superior. Candice and Bruce are the new owners, and they provided me with a truly wonderful trip. They were hustling for the entirety of my multi-day stay, and always doing it in a kind and respectful way. I'm especially fond of their aligned teamwork, and witnessing how they would uplift and speak good of each other when the other was not around. I observed frequent tidying and cleaning, and everything smelled fresh. They happily rearranged furniture to accommodate larger groups when needed. The rooms have undergone some noticeable upgrades, with cozy modernization. I stayed during a time where about 2 feet of snow fell within a very short period of time. I drive a Toyota Corolla, so my ground clearance is abysmal. They had a truck plow the entry road and lot, so aside from me getting stuck once briefly, I was still able to travel safely and freely. They also offered to help me, let me borrow their windshield scraper/brush/snow shovel, and allowed me a 1-hour late checkout. The food prices were very reasonable and with generous portions. Everything was freaking delicious, but the rib eye, Caesar salad, and Gouda breakfast sandwich were my favorites. They were very casual about me taking food and drink from the restaurant up to my room. I also witnessed Bruce custom-make food for a guest who wanted something that wasn't on the menu. Candice was such a sweet and terrific host. She let me use the hot tub on a day where that cabin was vacant, invited me to play Scrabble in the lodge, took me for a ride on the fancy snow tractor, and indulged my wanting to love on their adorable little doggies. Really, the flexibility and graciousness of the owners and staff was very much apparent, and I overheard other guests sharing their own stories and echoing my sentiments as well. I'll definitely be going back.

    Such a beautiful place, and the new owners are just the nicest people! Great food that's not a rip-off (you gotta try the fish and chips), clean and well maintained, and the guided sledding tour was a core memory for the kiddos for sure

    Fantastic property! It's rustic, peaceful, and well maintained. The new owners Bruce and Candice are lovely and soooo accommodating! They're making some nice updates to the property. And, Charlie, Jenna, and JENNY are amazing!! They all made our most recent stay so fun & wonderful. We love staying in the cabins and eating at the restaurant in the lodge. The food is great!!! The lasagna is some of the best we've ever had. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND staying here and eating here!!! We will be back soon!!

The drive out from Portland is long, but after you get here the trip is really enjoyable, we often try to plan a night somewhere closer. It's 12$ for a 2 hour visit, they do take credit cards. We tend to be here mid week mid day so we have not had any issue with parking. There are always other people present, but it has never seemed overly busy. The staff we interact with are always very pleasant. There is a bathroom in the parking lot. It's a short walk up to the hot springs, I'm confident mostly anyone could do this. It's nice to feel like you are in nature. I imagine this was a much more beautiful area before the fires, but I am thankful that it did reopen and is usable. Do make sure you bring some water to stay hydrated while hot springing. Do be aware that sometimes people are unclothed at hot springs. Also know that hot springs are hot and this may not be how you want to spend a hot day. There are multiple pools of multiple sizes which do vary in heat. There is a small stream with cold water running nearby. There are places to sit where you can be partially in the water. If you are planning to walk around a lot you may want water shoes as these rocks can be hot on your feet. We always have a nice time and leave feeling rejuvenated. I keep meaning to look into camping options nearby. I'd love to experience this with some friends on my next visit.

    August 26-29, 2025 - La Pine, OR…read more We've stayed at La Pine Campground a few times over the years, and each visit reminds us why we keep coming back. The campground is divided into three loops, each with its own character. The North Loop offers water and electric hookups, with sites that are more widely spaced than the others--something I really appreciate. That extra room makes it feel quieter and more private, and it's probably where we'll book our next stay. The Middle Loop has full hookups, while the South Loop is the busiest, featuring full hookups as well as some cabins. . There are many hiking/cycling trails (dog-friendly), and the Deschutes River runs through the campground. There is a short hike to a waterfall, and a large dog park. Unfortunately, we were a bit restricted in our outdoor activities because of the smoke from the two fires in the area. There was actually ash falling on one of the days. Also, there had been several sightings of a mountain lion in the area, so that added a bit of caution to our activities. Nevertheless, we will definitely come back.

Some sites are fairly tight, while others had some nice room. The trails here were very enjoyable. Serene surroundings around the river and through the trees. We saw lots of deer, birds, and other critters scrambling about. I'm sure it would've had a slightly different feel during peak season, but we very much enjoyed our night and day of off season.

    Let me start by saying we've been coming to Little Crater as a family for 30 years…read more Our recent reservation was for 2 spots in a cluster for 9 nights and 2 bordering spots for 4 nights. On our 2nd day there, we bought & displayed an extra vehicle tag. Most of our family was scheduled to arrive for the final 4 nights. Every day we took our boat to the lake, where we parked at the ramp, proudly displaying our yearly Parks Forest Pass, for which we paid a $30 fee to get. Every time the boat was taken to the lake, the extra vehicle was moved in our spot to allow passage. 1.  Every day, the camp host harrased us (sometimes multiple times) about the extra vehicle, clearly displaying the pass on the dash. "Oh I guess I did ask you about that car this morning." 2. On our 5th night, the host came to us and said, "I see you have spot 43 reserved tomorrow. It's been abandoned so hurry up and pay for it. I'll make note that we spoke."  So we paid for it and set up tents for our kids. A couple of hours later, the person who "abandoned it" returned. Her tent was up the hill out of sight. Luckily for us, she allowed our kids to remain in the spot. 3. On our 6th day, our truck at the boat ramp was "ticketed" by the host telling us we needed to park at camp since we weren't displaying a forest pass. We advised her that we had a pass displaying in the truck and why suddenlywas it an issue after 6 days? She advised us that didn't matter because the Forest service wanted the ramp for locals. 4. On the 7th day, we received a "2nd notice" on the truck when we parked at the ramp. The host told us she "wasn't going to argue" and would "call the Forest service" on us. 5. On the 7th day, our father arrived for the day. He bought a day pass at the park entrance. The host advised my nephew to have him move his truck and boat trailer from the parking lot since "he was with us and needed to park at camp." My nephew advised her he was a legitimate "Day User" and would park at the ramp, period. This is the day the restroom near our camps stopped being cleaned. Toilet paper was filled, but urine that was splashed around the room by hikers wasn't cleaned. It fell upon us to get bleach and a bucket of water to make the room bearable. 6. On the 7th day, in the evening, Forest service "supervisor" Carol came to camp. She advised us that we were "well within our rights to park on the ramp" if we wanted to, but to keep in mind that the "locals weren't able to make reservations and were having trouble parking on the ramp." Ladies and gentlemen,  the locals are perfectly capable of making reservations.  I seriously doubt they're driving past Paulina Lake ramp, which has double the parking and flush toilets, to park here at Little Crater. During this conversation with "supervisor" Carol, she pointed at the Forest Service Pass hanging from our mirror and told us " technically I could write you up right now since your pass isn't valid. See right there? It says it is invalid without a signature." It wasn't until the next day that we discovered this isn't true. There is NO PLACE on the pass that says it isn't valid without a signature.  We're so disgusted with the aggressiveness, incompetence, harrassment & unmitigated campaign to ruin our vacation by these hosts, that we packed up and left camp a day early.  We couldn't leave this place soon enough for all the stress and anxiety these people have caused. At this point, after two years in a row with the increasing ineffective hosting we've experienced, we don't even know if we'll bother next year.

    So much fun! We hiked about 8 miles round trip from our campground. It's a mostly flat hole that…read morefollows the beautiful shoreline.
