The Lodge at Suttle Lake

The lodge is beautiful and the location is truly a gem. We loved being at the end of the lake with a spectacular view. There is no restaurant available and the «continental breakfast» that was deposited at our doorstep each morning was really pretty unappealing. We did love being there but it is a hassle to drive to Sisters or other parts for a real meal and certainly for dinner. We would still go back just because of the lodge but hope they get their restaurant up and running. The staff was quite helpful and friendly.

As I type this I am filling the jacuzzi tub and relaxing in this huge beautiful king bed! We came here for one night to celebrate our ten year anniversary. When I made the reservation, they informed me that it is a two night minimum. Sensing my disappointment because I only had a babysitter for one night, she broke the rules and allowed us to stay for just the night. Upon arrival, we were shocked at how quiet and relaxing the lodge and property are. Simply beautiful! The nice woman at the front desk was awesome and gave us a bottle of champagne as a gift for our anniversary.
The deluxe lakeside room is huge and I love the mountain inspired furniture. If you are hoping to sit and watch tv, then I would go somewhere else. The TV is old and small, but we could care less. The wifi is spotty, but again, we are here to enjoy each other. The jacuzzi tub was heavenly and the bag of morning goodies left at our door included a little food for everyone’s liking; (granola and yogurt, dried fruit, granola bars, fresh fruit, and packaged muffins). A French press with coffee is provided in your room.
My one gripe is that there is not a restaurant here. There is «Grab and Go» service, which includes wraps and salads. We didn’t get a chance to o try them, but they look delicious. We just wanted to stay put and have a nice dinner on this beautiful property, but instead we drove 15 minutes for dinner. She explained the reasoning behind not having a restaurant and I get it, but it would have been nice to not leave the property on our one night away. There is a full bar that is open till 8 or 9, but it’s not the kind of bar where you sit and hang out. It’s more a bar to grab a drink and bring it to your room or out to the lake. There are plenty of tables in the lobby though.
We didn’t really explore the area, but the beach is right below us and I am told there are lots of trails. The boats, canoes and kayaks you can rent look a bit dismal, so you may want to inquire about that.
Overall, we simply loved it!!! It was the exact relaxing 18 hours we needed! I can totally see renting out the whole lodge for a wedding. It would be a beautiful place to get married! And again, the staff were so sweet and accommodating!!! We may just come back for our 20 year anniversary!!!

We did a sisters trip to Sisters OR — It exceeded our expectations. We went during the start of the off the season. Not a lot of people, but we loved it! The staff was soo nice and courteous. The weather was beautiful. We can’t wait to come back next year!

Everything you’d want and more from a view at a lakeside resort is yours at Suttle Lake. Even in the dead of summer, we caught some breezes and it never felt like our faces were melting off.
I snapped a couple iPhone pics, but the images of our lakeside tanning don’t do the sweeping view justice.
The attention to detail in the wood carving and the aesthetically pleasing qualities of the Lodge’s décor indicate to their patrons that they care to be upscale but not overly pretentious.
Stop in for a day to rent a paddleboard, enjoy a lovely deckside dinner, or get married on their lawn. Suttle Lake has the charm maybe to make you do all three.

Our first 24 hours at the lodge were great. We booked a couples massage while not romantic was therapeutic in that the massage therapists were great, some of the best ever. However we were in a fully lit room with the blinds closed so we could not even enjoy the view. The restaurant was closed which we did not find out about until after we arrived. Food service was limited and in the lodge. Our server Willow was great. Than came Easter brunch. I ordered a mimosa from a different server who had her hair down (which she continually played with and moved around while around the food and serving)-GROSS! The brunch was average at best with a lot of cold food and undercooked potatoes. The deserts were obviously pre made, maybe from Costco or Sysco? When we got our brunch bill I was charged for a large mimosa which was not what I ordered and contained obviously not fresh orange juice. Upon checkout I was told that I was being credited our brunch. However I received an email later that they had additionally charged our credit card because they were only not charging me for the mimosa. Three days later I receive an updated bill with another $ 120 charge and no accompanying explanation. Upon calling I was told by josh that they had incorrectly charged our massage. As I told him it is unacceptable to charge my card without my approval. He proceeded to tell me that I was wrong. Followed by transferring me to the accounting department voicemail. Originally when we left we had counted this as an overall good experience trying to accept the horrible and overpriced food at brunch. The two additional charges to my credit card have definitely changed my mind. Poor customer service kills a good experience every time. So unless you are ok with having your credit card charged multiple times without your permission don’t stay here.

This is our favorite Central Oregon getaway, by far! We’ve stayed here three times in the past 9 months which speaks volumes about our LOVE for the Lodge at Suttle Lake. Two of our stays have been in Waterfront Cabins with our two kids with another stay in a Deluxe Suite in the Lodge. The Cabins are great for the family with a loft for the kids and the amazing Central Oregon wilderness all around. The Lodge is our true love, and we have actually booked a fourth stay in May! The coffee bar is open all day and night featuring coffee, tea, cider and hot chocolate all completely free! The nightly wine social gives you a free glass of wine or beer each night along with cheese, fruits and crackers. The living room space in the main lodge is cozy with a roaring stone fireplace and a great place to sit and visit with other lodge guests. We recommend The Lodge at Suttle Lake to each and everyone we meet. You can’t go wrong with a stay here. The staff are phenomenal, catering to our every wish.

I’ve never written a Unilocal review but the lodge at suttle lake compelled me to.
We had our wedding here 2 weeks ago and can’t begin to describe how amazing
the venue was and the staff were. They went above and beyond in simply every way
possible. Every request we made was met and exceeded and every staff member was so lovely to work with. They were smiling the whole time. We had so many guests tell us how much they loved the venue and all the wonderful amenities
the lodge has to offer along with the beautiful natural setting. We will be coming back here for years to come and can’t thank Joanna and her wonderful staff enough for
helping create the most happy and amazing wedding for us. Thank you!!! Love lea and kyle

I loved this place! We got the groupon deal and from start to finish the experience was wonderful.
It was scenic and beautiful. I loved the quirky «NW» style. We stayed in the lodge. Would probably stay in a cabin next time just for more privacy. Did hear our upstairs neighbors a bit but it wasn’t obnoxious so I didn’t mind too much.
The room was big, nice view of the lake. Loved the gas fireplace. The mattress wasn’t great but whatever.
The customer service was fantastic! I’ve never had such positive, friendly, happy customer service at any hotel I’ve ever stayed at. Everyone was so helpful and nice. It just blew us away. For that alone we’d come back!
They have a free coffee bar. AWESOME. Every night from 4:30−6 there’s a wine and cheese social in the lodge. AWESOME. First glass is free. The cheese and fruit were fresh and delicious.
The lodge restaurant was pretty good. Sometimes clunky customer service. The waiter never brought out our appetizer one night but that actually turned out to be a good thing because we never could have eaten all the food we ordered.
If you eat at the lodge for breakfast, I highly recommend the Leek risotto and egg –unique and delicious. By far the roma tomatoes stuffed with pesto and egg were the highlight of the weekend. It was so damn good! If it’s on the menu, order it. I plan on recreating it at home soon. :)
Would most definitely return! Great customer service, cute lodge, great location. 10 minute drive to the snow or a 15 minute drive into Sisters.

I adore the Lodge at Suttle Lake! We bought a Groupon to this place, despite my skepticism. (I’d gone to Wallowa Lake Lodge last summer, and was less than impressed). I have to say, Suttle Lake Lodge is fabulous, and everything I fantasize about in a lodge.
Gorgeous, spacious rooms with a beautiful view. A bathroom with a soaking tub for two. An enormous lounge in ‘exotic’ (well, to me) Oregon lodge-​furniture, wood carvings, etc. Wine tastings. A restaurant on site. A great trail around the lake that’s very doable for even the most wimpy of hikers (i.e. us). There’s also internet and a TV, which not all of these lodges include.
My only complaints: The luxury goodie basket promised in the groupon was kind of lame, it consisted mostly of things like airline packet style trail mix. It also took a long time for reception to acknowledge us after we came in, though they were otherwise friendly and helpful. The food in the on-​site restaurant is reasonable but not stellar.
Overall the lodge is great though, and if I were just rating the room and building, I would certainly give it 5 stars. I can’t wait to go back, it’s worth the price even without a Groupon.

I came in with high expectations and Suttle Lake exceeded them. The lake and resort are beautiful. Every part of the lodge was extremely clean and very comfortable. The staff was more than helpful. The back deck off the lodge in the evening was our favorite part. I would highly recommend this for anyone just wanting to relax and enjoy themselves for a weekend… or evening just an evening.

Beautiful location, but don’t stay in the lodge. Get a cabin instead unless you don’t mind hearing your neighbors and vice versa.

I stayed here with my youth group back in ’08 and had a wonderful experience! When church youth groups go on trips, you usually expect a little tent exposed to the elements, but the lodge at Suttle Lake was amazing.
There’s a beautiful and quiet trail wrapping around the lake that really makes you appreciate God’s creation.
Favorite part? The front door. You’d have to go there to truly appreciate it.

We were touring this beautiful Oregon area, stumbled by chance on this lovely restaurant on the lakeshore. We dined on the lakeside patio. Interesting menu well presented, excellent service. Be sure to visit the lobby of the nearby lodge building to view outstanding wood sculptures by a local artist.
