Food scene

Eclectic atmosphere, but well thought out & deliciously prepared food by Chef Nick. Walking distance from the cabin! Be sure to go here with your patience intact, as their small staff is often overwhelmed by large onsets of tourists. But this is handsdown, THE local favorite! Full bar, daily food specials, and the brisket is raved about far & wide 😚

Small store with upscale general goods & gifts. An inviting beer garden with food offerings and potential for live music (seasonal)! Also, walking distance from the cabin! This place is a hit with other tourists as well as our seasonal workers - rafters, forest service folks, and ski bums!

Who wants breakfast! A bit of a drive (20 minutes), but the scenery is beautiful along the river, so why not?! Good food, quaint small town atmosphere, husband & wife team run the show and who doesn't love supporting a small business?

Also know as Terwilliger Hot springs, these four natural spring fed pools are located at the end of an almost mile long, fairly easy trail that begins with a kiosk to submit your day use permit and payment. Clothing optional and surrounded by nature, its an experience worth experiencing!

Beautiful cold & clear mountain lake, the headwaters of the mckenzie river! This area offers boat & kayak rentals, fishing, hiking and a small commissary, but its best to bring your own picnic!

We are so lucky to have such a nearby local skiing spot! Its not too far of a drive up the Mckenzie Pass to hit the slopes and take advantage of a smaller ski area with smaller lift lines! Lots of class offerings, but book ahead! And also ski or board rentals, a commissary, and bar located in the ski lodge!

Sightseeing

Breathtaking waterfall and the hike between Sahalie and Koosah is a bit of magic. This trail can get crowded, so best to head out early or go during the less busy weekdays if you can!

An observatory built from lava rock by the army corps of engineers during the great depression! History and nearly unbelievable surroundings - it almost feels as though you have visited another planet! Definitely worth the winding drive up scenic hwy 242!

Here's your chance to experience an underground waterfall! The water is crystal blue and seems enticing for a dip, but please be mindful that the water reaches sub zero temps and can be dangerous for swimmers. Diving in could literally take your breath away! Best to stay on land and be mesmerized by its unique beauty.
