Trout sandwich
Kyle P.

Review is just for the bar/restaurant. Popped in here for a late lunch after hiking Black Butte. Had heard good things about their food and wanted to treat myself while on a little Central Oregon vacation, and boy am I glad I did. The main lodge area is simultaneously cozy and trendy, complete with a fireplace amongst lots of wood architecture and modern furniture. It gave me Society Hotel vibes, for those familiar. I went for the "famous" (it was featured in the Eater's Guide to the World Hulu series hosted by Maya Rudolph) fish sandwich. It was quite spendy but worth it for a splurge. It was quite a bit of food and delicious, and that's coming from someone who is not the biggest fan of seafood. Kind of wish it came with some of fries or another side for the price but what can ya do. I didn't get a drink but the cocktails looked great. Recommend putting your phone away, grabbing one of the many coffee table books they have stacked up, and enjoying the fire and the peace. I went for a hike around Suttle Lake afterwards which was also great. Lots of birds on the water and saw a Bald Eagle swooping. I noticed lots of cabins, campsites, picnic areas, swimming holes, canoes/kayaks, etc. Overall looks like an awesome place to actually spend time. I'd happily come back in the warmer months to spend a weekend here.

A tad bit pricey. Food was OK. Nothing spectacular. You place your order and pay, then you pick up the food at the counter. No table side service.

I stayed 3 nights last week & truly enjoyed everything. The lodge is beautiful. Staff are so welcoming and kind. The room was clean and stocked with amenities. Amazing lake view. The food was delicious at both the Skip Bar & the Boathouse. Michelle, Kavan & Zak (I probably spelled those wrong) were super helpful. Thank you for making our birthday getaway so enjoyable!

This establishment is an amazing refuge from the storm. I stubbled upon this super cool and quaint destination after a cold and rainy fall Monday. As I walked into the lodge I was invited to stay for a lodge concert with three kickass bands. The food and libations were of the highest quality and the staff and ambiance were just as evenly matched. I am so grateful for the experience and sweet vibe this business has created and to share during this crazy Covid time. Hats off to all the great people at Suttle Lodge & Boathouse. I can't wait to come back!!

Water sports equipment rentals

Yo!!! This place takes you back into the good ole days!! Old lodge that's a little old school with new school! There's simple cabins, to luxury cabins, or rooms in the lodge. The Boathouse serves up some good eats and dranks! You can rent water sports equipment like kayaks, canoes, and stand up paddle boards, day use area too!

Boathouse dock in the morning, water clear as glass

While it is overall expensive, it's well worth it. The resort and lodge itself is something you simply cannot find anywhere else. The people are kind, the grounds are well kept. And the food was great. Boathouse highly recommend the trout platter or the fried trout sandwich Skip bar, highly recommend the simple salad, shrimp hush puppies, and burrata

Grandmas beef stew with bread $10
Sarah C.

Restaurant Review: tried out the lodge restaurant on a Sunday night after canoeing late into the day. It was easier to eat here than travel to Eugene and risk becoming hungry on the way home. We tried the onion rings ($4), grandpa's burger ($8), and grandma's beef stew ($10). It is somewhat of an awkward experience trying to order dinner at this location. The menu is above the counter where water glasses are stored. You essentially have to stand behind people sitting at the bar until the waitress is available and notices you. It feels strange to order in the otherwise quiet lodge over people's heads. It would be nice for them to have a different set up for ordering, with one bartender and another person available to take food orders. Maybe they were short staffed, or maybe they always only have one person available outside of the kitchen staff. Regardless, we ordered, took our #, and sat in the outdoor seating. Food came relatively quickly, about 10 minutes. Food was hot and seemingly fresh. I actually really loved my grandma's beef stew. It had arugula on top of the stew and a cheesy bread to use to sop up every last drop. It was lovely. Burgers seemed pretty basic, nothing fancy, but appetizing and filling. The onion rings were so good we ordered a second round of it. I'm sure my stomach will thank me for that later, but at the moment it was totally worth it. Wait staff bus your table for you, but it can start to look a little messy in the outside area when the wait staff get busy. In the future, we would probably eat here again out of convenience's sake. Cabin Review: we stayed in a Rustic cabin for tow nights. From what I've seen online, rates for cabins can be between $88-$125/night. The exterior of the cabin is adorable, and the photos of the interior looked adequate. Linens and towels were actually free of charge, but one front desk staff said they would eventually start charging $25 in the future. Linens included really cozy Pendleton blankets and really plush pillows. So far, pretty impressed. Cabin was well insulated, floorboard heaters worked really well, and I didn't ever get cold at night in late October. We didn't realize from the photos that the bunk beds were crammed in the same room as the queen bed. The room with the futon had a small table and open space. It seemed rather inconvenient that there were no wall hooks or any place to hang jackets, towels, or keys. Fire rings are shared, not every one cabin has a personal one. Actually, cabin #7 (the one we had) didn't have a fire ring anywhere near. We had to use the fire ring near a larger cabin that was unoccupied during our stay. Shower room at the bathhouse was awesome! Hot water, heated room, and Castile soap available. It feels like a series of small changes could really elevate this lodge to a great experience. Lodge staff were unavailable after 5pm which seems strange for a hotel cabin experience. Who do we talk to if there's some emergent need? Soap dispensers were often empty in the bathhouse, our friend who stayed with us said it seemed the bathhouse seemed to be not as well maintained or as clean as a previous stay. Overall, this place has a lovely aesthetic, hipster vibe, and beautiful outdoor scenery. I hope they continue to do well and also improve.

Warm, warm fireplace on a snowy Sunday.

Here is my review of clear lake for row boat use!…read more We got here at 930 am. Found the pay box at the entrance $9, no cash. There is an option to pay at the bottom which we should have done because they take the national park passes there (see picture). We were able to find parking in the main lot and there were a few people there. We weren't sure how the process of renting the boats or availability of life jackets. There is a shop that sells food, snacks, drinks, ice cream , and desserts. They also have a selection of fishing items, shirts, jackets. We paid for the boat - $60 for the large boat all day. The life jackets were plentiful and available. My husband rowed most of the time because I am not a good rower. We made it from the dock to the start of the river that you can't go past which is good since you could hear the rapids. The way to the left was a lot calmer and clear. We had a blast out on the lake. You could see down near the shallows but not in the middle of the lake. Make sure to bring sunscreen because there isn't much shade. The facilities are great!! Two bathrooms in the shop. Large tables to sit and enjoy a hot cooked meal or ice cream. I am so glad we were able to make a morning on the lake super easy and stress free! Next time I'm thinking of renting a kayak or a stand up paddle board. That would be fun! If you are in the area make sure to stop by early. As we were leaving, the parking lot was filled up so make sure to get there early! I hope my review and pictures help you plan for a successful visit to Clear Lake!

My wife and I explored a few options for this vacation and landed on renting a luxury house boat from Cove Palisades. Everything from the first phone call right down to check out time was great. All the folks there were helpful and made sure we had a great time. We had a great boat with plenty of amenities and it ran great, along with the generator we didn't need for anything. I especially like the boat because it had everything we needed and it all worked. There were 11 of us and we had plenty of room to spread out and really have a good. We cruised, we swam, we ate and ate and ate. I think everyone enjoyed this trip and I believe we will do it again. Jim P.

Our friends and I rented at the same time - same boats - and had the same experience - both good…read moreand bad (the 14 & 10 passenger type with corrugated siding/blue & white). The Bad: 1. Mechanically, these boats are old. They run - but look like hell under the hood (rust,oily bilge,questionable wiring). 2. The old battery and charging system they use requires you to run the loud, smelly generator most of the trip. Which not only is hazardous - due to carbon monoxide pumping toward the back deck - but also destroys the peace of your experience. 3. Due to running the generator AND engine (required as directed) almost the whole time while on the boat - our gasoline bill was about $150 (in addition to propane) even though we literally only drove the boat one hour round trip. 4. The "house" batteries, even when fully charged at dinner, would not last through the night. This resulted in us having to throw out food because the refrigerator would fail. So we ended up using our coolers and buying ice. Same story- both boats. I brought a voltmeter on the trip - so I verified it. The batteries were just worn out and should have been able to handle a couple of refrigerators - that use very little amperage (they're propane). 5. Our propane grill didn't even work. It leaked propane (if the tank was on I could smell it) and would not stay lit - even with no wind. Yet they charged me $55 for propane- even after I told them (another hazard). My friends boats grill worked though. But if you're solo - watch out!! No way to cook! 6. Inside - propane oven/stove top was so weak it was on low - even when selected to high. It would heat water but not boil. 7. One of the toilets stunk the entire time because the seal leaked - allowing gases to come up. 8. The generator could not handle a coffee maker AND an electric griddle (or a microwave) at the same time and popped a breaker. We didn't even try the air conditioning because of this!! 9. The rear upper deck roof was sagging and floppy & had rotten wood splinters that would drop out when people walked up there. It was unnerving- so I wouldn't let the kids near the center for fear it would collapse. 10. The cost. Granted, they are the ONLY company on the Lake (B.T.W...Cove and LBC rentals are same company). $1800 for three nights (plus the extra $230 they charged us at the end for gas and propane). We've been on Houseboats before that we're at least twice better maintained - and paid about the same. BUT- they have a lot of them. So you pay for convenience of scheduling. The "Cove Marina" rentals on the other side have BETTER boats available (bigger/newer). 11. No anchor - so your stuck with the boat facing and tied on the shoreline. This means that you'll be breathing carbon monoxide any time the generator and engine are "charging" the batteries- that is if you want to enjoy sitting on the back deck - toward the lake. 12. Spotty cell coverage. They tell you to text them if there's a problem- but you'll likely not have any coverage. So, have a boat with your boat so you can easily go where you do. 13. No offer of incentive - nor apology for our experience. Mostly indifferent was what I got after I gave them my card. The Good: 1. The interiors - although old, were acceptable for "camping".. 2. The boat got us to the shore so we could park (didn't break down). 3. The staff was nice - even though at the end - they questioned us for everything that went wrong and didn't care to hear about what needed fixing. 4. The boats are pretty beat up in the first place - so you don't worry about dings or scratches. Is that good?? Sure - if you've got a bunch of teens with you. 5. The actual layout of the boats were spacious and well equipped (if anything was actually functional). 6. The hot water worked fine. 7. Kitchen utensils provided - bring your own can opener - ours was broken. 8. They provide toilet paper. 9. They provide garbage bags. Overall, my impression was that the overall frustration and stress of worrying about things working made my vacation just like work. Kids enjoyed themselves- but the adults not so much. My wife actually got sick one morning due to the generator exhaust blowing toward the back deck near where she was sitting. After all was done and we were leaving, I mentioned all of these things to them. Mostly blank stares is what I got and happy to take my credit card to charge me another $250 for gas and propane that I shouldn't have had to use. As others have indicated- be careful to flush with lots of water - or you may plug the toilets - giving them another reason to charge you "extra". All of this ruined it for my wife. I doubt she will go again. They're the only company on Lake Billy - which is sad. My intention is NOT to bash them. I liked all of them as people. Perhaps if you decide to rent one - go with one of the bigger, nicer boats (FROM the COVE-$3500) as opposed to the blue/white 10-14 person boats.
