Although we have renovated the rooms, they are still authentic and historic in almost every way. The windows and doors are over a hundred years old, and function as well you might expect. Sound travels in these old buildings, keeping your voice low at night and early mornings is appreciated by all. The beautiful historic elevator is just for looks, so be prepared to walk up a flight or two of stairs. The geothermal radiators and pipes can be hot to the touch and sometimes noisy. Lodge Rooms don't have TV’s, alarm clocks, or phones (but there is wifi). What we do offer is blissful relaxation in mineral hot springs to your hearts content and a genuine stay in a historic hotel. Welcome!
Other things to note
Wonderfully helpful information (the fine print) to read over before requesting a reservation:
This is a historic property. It isn’t perfect, it’s old and quaint. It’s under renovation. If that’s your cup of tea, you’ll probably love the place. Please keep your expectations accordingly.
All Guests must be 12 years or older to stay overnight, no exceptions.
This room has a 2 person occupancy limit. Additional guests will need to rent a separate room.
Cancellation and Rebooking Policy: We are not able to make exceptions to the refund policy agreed to at the time of your reservation, including for the following issues: Inclement winter weather and road conditions such as ice or snow, which are to be expected in winter. Interstate closures, which are common in the winter weather season, but typically only last a few hours. Severe storms. Wildfires affecting travel routes or creating unhealthy air conditions. Sickness of yourself or family members, including Covid.
What you can do to protect your reservation fees:
•A full refund or reschedule is permitted if the cancellation or reschedule request is made 5 full days before your reserved date (see your cancellation policy in detail).
•Purchase Travel Insurance (Airbnb has this option at check out)
•Check weather (for heat waves, freezing temps, storms, etc.) and air quality reports in advance of your travel.
•Wait until closer to your date of travel to make a reservation to see if conditions are favorable.
All friends/family of Lodge Guests who wish to soak must pay for and reserve a soaking pass on our website.
No pets. No exceptions.
To comply with our State Liquor License, NO PERSONAL ALCOHOL may be consumed on the property. We have beer and wine for purchase at The Thermal Pub and the Front Desk, 7 days a week.
Renovations inside and outside are ongoing. We try our best to be quiet, but you may at times hear construction noise.
We are near a highway and a railroad (no crossings and usually no whistle), we are surrounded by the sounds of animals such as birds and coyotes, it gets very windy all winter long. These things can cause noise that will bother you if you’re a light sleeper. We have ear plugs and white noise machines available at the Front Desk.
Check in time is from 4:00pm to 10:00pm PST/PDST. Please be aware of the time change if you’re heading from the Boise area. ID with name matching reservation required at check in.
The Thermal Pub has a delicious lite fare menu and salad bar. La Grande is 8 miles away and has multiple restaurant options. We have a Foodie guide with recommendations at the Front Desk.
We provide Mt. Hood Roasters Coffee, a variety of tea, bagel bar, whole fruit, granola bars, oatmeal and hard boiled eggs for breakfast.
What to bring: A heavy reusable water bottle (we have chilled mineral water stations) and heavy shoes to wear to the soaking tubs - yes, it can be windy enough to blow them away. A swimsuit. A hat for sun or wind. Snacks.
