Fodor's Expert Review Crater Lake Lodge
1 Lodge Loop Rd., Oregon, 97604, USA Fodor's Choice
The period feel of this 1915 lodge on the caldera's rim is reflected in its lodgepole-pine columns, gleaming wood floors, and stone fireplaces in the common areas, and the simple guest rooms. With magnificent lake views—and the all-too-brief tourist season at Crater Lake—rooms at this popular spot are often booked a year in advance, although cancellations sometimes create last-minute vacancies. Plan ahead, as this is the only "in-park" place to stay by the lake, but also check online reservations page if visiting on short notice, as you may just get lucky.
