We arrived on a day that the water was like glass. Blue skies and beautiful views.

Staying at the lodge is a bucket list item for sure! Located right on the rim of Crater Lake, there is no better place to stay to take in the views. We stayed in a very basic room in the lodge, that was fairly expensive, but worth every penny due to the amazing location. I woke up early to catch the sunrises each morning. The lodge has a great deck out front. In the evenings we would sip cocktails from the deck and take in the beauty! The interior of the lodge had tons of history too. We also enjoyed the Junior Ranger program - my son loved seeing the real life Ranger and the parents enjoyed all the knowledge sharing. We had several meals at the restaurant as well. A bit overpriced, but very good food and drink. Highly recommend staying here!

Going to Crater Lake National Park has been one of my goals and I finally made it there. I’ve seen pictures but to see it for my self was magical. We enjoyed lunch at the gift shop. We drove around the rim to see it from different angles. We were supposed to take the boat tour but the boat was broken down. But we still enjoyed the hike down to the lake side.
