Crystalwood Lodge

Announcing agreat new addition toour Southern Oregon Cascades lodging offerings. Those of you who have wanted to have Crystalwood as your own private getaway…you got it! We are now offering Crystalwood Lodge availability as an entire facility vacation rental, at tremendous savings from our nightly per-room rates.

It’s a win-win for everyone. Your group of up to 16 can enjoy the entire Lodge and property and have it all to yourselves! I am excited because this enables me to have the Lodge open this winter, for if folks come and rent the entire lodge for 3, 4 or 5 nights, it makes it economically viable for me to open it up and make it available. We’re due to have a great winter, so make plans now to come and enjoy it!

As we have all season, a Lodge Exclusive rental comes with use of the fully outfitted commercial kitchen at no extra charge. Of course, this means that one and only one group will be here at a time…so first come, first served! If you’ve been thinking about having a family get-together for the holidays, or a group outing to enjoy Crater Lake National Park in all her winter glory, book now! When its taken, its gone!

Since this is a new official offering for us (we’ve been doing Lodge Exclusives upon request for years), I’m offering some incredible deals to kick start the process. The longer you rent the Lodge, the less per night it is. The cost per night drops dramatically, depending on how many nightsyouneed to exploreall therecreationopportunities in ourarea!

For example, if you wanted to do a 2-night rental (our minimum) for a getaway weekend, the basic rate is $497/night (plus lodging tax), a savings of over $212/night from our per-room nightly rates. However, if you wanted to have the Lodge as your Thanksgiving holiday getaway, say for 4 nights Wednesday – Saturday, the price per night drops to $347. And if you wanted to have Crystalwood Lodge as your home for the holidays for the week of Christmas or New Years, your investment per night drops to $297! NO holiday upcharge. NO surcharge for high season rentals. Just come and enjoy!

We’re still pet welcoming, and for those of you who’vestayed with us before, Brick wanted me to tell you he is looking forward to some visitors, and please bring treats. I think he’s afraid I might forget he’s retired and try to hook him up with the dog team when we go out. Not likely!

So whether you’re looking to book an artist workshop, family reunion, church retreat, scrapbooking weekend,adventure experience or just an incredibly private and utterly relaxing getaway with those closest to you…we look forward to hosting you, making sure everything is taken care of for you, and helping you create some extra special memories in our corner of paradise!Check availability and book now!
