I’ve been coming to Union Creek my whole life and love the area. First time staying in lodge room. The room itself was cute and cozy. Unfortunately the two beds were crawling with Silverfish. It was quite unpleasant knowing these were crawling on the bed I was sleeping in. The map you receive from check in needs to be updated. The game room no longer exists. The store where you check in offered loaner games which helped. I would not call this place a “resort.” Though it is a beautiful area it is nothing like a resort. It would be nice if they provided fire wood for outdoor fire pits. Bring your own wood if you plan on having an outdoor fire. They charge way too much money for their small bundles of wood. Since Aramark has taken over ownership I’ve heard from staff and customers this “resort” has really declined. Be aware that Beckie’s cafe is NOT open for breakfast during tbe winter season. The lodge does NOT provide any kind of continental breakfast. If you’re staying in lodge room I recommend bringing a hot plate and your personal cookware if you’re a breakfast person and cook your own breakfast. There is a microwave and a mini fridge in each room.

The place is run down and not in great shape. Bed was uncomfortable. Only had a brief interaction with the staff and it was not horrible, but not at all pleasant. I will not stY again and will not recommend to anyone. We decided to camp for our next trip up to crater lake.

This historic lodge exceeded our expectations. We were a little wary of the shared bathrooms, but it wasn't an inconvenience in the slightest (there are sinks in the rooms). The room and bathrooms were clean and well stocked. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. Beckie's across the street was delicious. A great spot to stay if you're visiting Crater Lake.

The cabins, the lodge, the store, and the restaurant across the street can be described as rustic. My cabin was delightful. It was clean, everything worked perfectly, bed was comfortable, the 658 pillows on the bed were wonderful. I didn't need to use the heater, but the A/C worked great.The staff were wonderful. It's family run and the manager that I spoke to was the daughter of the manager I had in 2008. They maintain the resort impeccably while keeping its old growth forest charm.Rooms: Cute, clean, well maintained. Everything worked. Nothing felt old or over you.Very comfortable mattress. Very hot water. Air conditioning worked. Microwave, coffee maker, and refrigerator were clean and operational.Nearby activities: Union Creek is a gorgeous area. The Union Creek trail is open for 6 mi now all the way up to Union Creek falls. The hiking is wonderful. Make sure to see natural bridge and the Rogue River gorge.From previous visits I know that does a wonderful place to make base camp for cross-country skiing and other winter activities.Food & drinks: Across the street is Becky's restaurant. It's been there for over a hundred years. The food is great, the staff is excellent, the pie is out of this world. If you're smart you'll order pie as soon as you walk in so is not to have your choice of flavors sold out from under you.

The rooms were really cute. I expected it to be outdated, it was not. The front desk was sore friendly and helpful. We were in Cabin 3. It had hot water in the shower, but the pressure was too low for my hair. There is no cell service, but the free WiFi works with a bit of patience. We walked to the nearby Rogue River Gorge. It was a pleasant and relaxing stay.

Wow, that bed was from 1964. The room was next to the shared bathroom so no sleep as sound transmits right through the walls. Get the cabins if you have to stay here. I'm never coming back. Great location but DAMN that room sucked!!!Nearby activities: Good stuff to see in walking distance...Natural Bridge.

Definitely not a resort. Beware, lodge rooms all share 2 bathrooms (one toilet and one shower in each). I thought I had missed this on the website but another guest confirmed it was not advertised. We landed here as a “sister hotel” to Crater Lake Lodge, but having stopped by there I can guarantee they are not similar.On the second day of our 2-night stay there was a power outage. One of the showers had no hot water and while we were grateful to have power thanks to a generator, our room smelled strongly of gas and we were concerned for our health. There is no one on site to help and as noted by other reviewers there is no cell service or wifi to contact anyone.When we did a check under the bed before leaving, we found a thick layer of dust. Clearly hasn’t been cleaned under there for years.Location is okay, about 30 mins from Crater Lake.Restaurant across the street was decent, but hard to get a table one night as it’s the only place in the area and there are nearby campgrounds in addition to Union Creek “Resort”.

Our cabin was so cute and quaint. It had everything we needed and nothing we didn't. The mattress was SO COMFY that I fell asleep instantly and in the morning I just had to check the brand and type (Beautyrest Hospitality). If y'all could let me know the exact specifications that'd be great because I need one!!Highly recommend a stay at Crater Lake Resort!!

Place was in a state of disrepair. WiFi was virtually non existent. And when we were able to get a signal internet was incredibly slow or not working. If you can stay at the lodge in crater lake do it. Definitely worth the extra money. We couldn’t wait to check out of this place. We would have left early but office said we needed to call central booking. But with no cell service or WiFi that was an impossible task.

This is a nice place to stay near Crater Lake. I was in the lodge and thought it had plenty of space (plus your own coffee maker and sink in room). The only awkward bit was that I had to share the 2 bathrooms with everyone else in the lodge, but I had no trouble with that.The staff were also super nice! I arrived late, but was still able to get to my room hassle free. They also helped direct me for driving.There are some trails to hike near the lodge, nothing too terribly long or hard from what I've found. But bring bug spray if you hike them!Also, note that there is no cell service in the area and the WIFI isn't the greatest. This might be a bad thing for some people, but I enjoyed a tech-break holiday!

Not a bad place, but definitely not a "resort". It's basically a shared-bath hostel with a handful of individual cabins in the back. They are VERY strict about not checking in early whatsoever, even though the cleaning crew seemed to be on top of everything pretty early in the AM (I would bet plenty of rooms are clean and ready by noon) but on a positive note that made us goto the local bar and meet some great locals. The area is amazingly beautiful with dense forest for miles and miles and some hiking quite close. We paid around $200 with tax for a room in the historic lodge, which is upstairs from a little general store--the very little store--which closes very early. They have snacks and basics, and are grossly overpriced, like $10 for a pack of hot dogs, etc. We camped the first night but there were no sites available the next night, hence the lodge experience. The lodge is about 100yrs old which is pretty cool. It has the antique glass doorknobs and other cool features but it's nothing fancy. Rooms are tiny, with a bed and microwave pushed up against 1 wall and a little sink and mirror in the corner. Rooms are dusty and very dark, not air conditioned and not insulated against any sound. There's a dusty ceiling fan, ours had burned out lights and there's nobody to tell about it after 6pm. Two of the 10 or so rooms have been converted into shared bathroom with shower and toilet, no shared sinks. The showers worked great. The restaurant across the road is affiliated with the "resort" and has very good, if somewhat expensive food. All staff members were nice and gave good service. Overall we had a good experience but felt a little price-gouged considering how rural and rustic everything was. The bartender up the road told us the local mgmt sold out to a big company a couple years ago and they doubled the prices. They are capitalizing on the lack of selection in the area and the transient and 1-time nature of most visitors.Rooms: Rustic, basic, antique

We stayed in one of the lodge rooms. We knew there was a shared bathroom and no ac, but I thought there would be the library and games room downstairs... there isn't! Closed with no plans to reopen. There was no where to escape the bugs but in our tiny, stifling room.

This is just glorified camping, so if you go with that in mind, it's ok. The internet and cell service is non existent. The listing mentions a pool, never found it! The setting is lovely. Beckie's restaurant seems to open and close when it feels like it. We stayed in the lodge. The shared bathrooms are ok, the rooms tiny and the sink is smaller and the taps drip all night. There is nowhere to sit inside to visit with friends, that we found. Nice towles, bed ok. Coffee and tea in room. A very casual approach to the entire place. Probably would not stay again.Rooms: Small, some beds against the wall. Very hot and stuffy.Nearby activities: Crater lake, rouge gorge, rivers, hikingFood & drinks: Beckie's across the road is OK and the only place to eat. Not like some reviews I read. I guess it's changed management!

WARNING: This is NOT a resort!! THIS IS A HOSTEL. Complete scam of a service and group of liars lying on the internet to whip up more business. Heres the truth they womt share with you until its already too late. I paid almost 300 dollars for this: Shared bathrooms, no loud noises(the other guests will knock on your door and tell you to turn your phone volume down), NO AIRCONDITIONING, only a small portable dusty uncleaned heater, little to ZERO lighting. The windows were wide open when I walked into the room who knows how many bugs I slept with. They promote that there will be wifi but there was no wifi period. There was no extra stock of towels for the hostel shower. It was hot and stuffy until night time then the room seemed to cool down slightly. No TV. No bathrooms. Dusty dusty dusty dusty very dirty floors and everything else. This was a $100 a night at best value establishment. 1star and only 1 star exclusively for the location of the hostel. Once again not terrible but certainly not a resort this is a glorified hostel

AMAZING!!! Loved every moment at our spacious and sweetly adorned cabin, and FANTASTIC eats across the street. A tiny bit of exploring found an amiptheatre and a stunning pavillion. Absolute gem!Rooms: Spacious and absolutely adorable and charming. Very clean. Felt very safe. Was quiet even though front of cabin was just off back from the road. Good mattresses, linens, and soaps.Food & drinks: It has been a nearly week and I am still missing the pie from Beckie's Cafe across the street.Noteworthy details: Wheel chair accessibility on larger cabin. Excellent grounds.
