This property does live up to its namesake! Upon arrival, this grand structure impresses instantly with the large wrap-around porch and relaxing hot tub, along with its 3rd-floor balcony and tastefully striking blue front door and garage, all while being surrounded by the lush vegetation of the Great Pacific Northwest. Located just an hour and a half east of Portland in the pristine wilderness surrounding Mount Hood, let the Great Blue Lodge be your serene sanctuary for your next nature getaway.
Upon entering the spacious main entrance on the first floor, a wide tiled corridor provides plenty of space to store outdoor gear after a day of exploring. The first-floor Family Suite contains two bedrooms. The first includes a queen-sized bed and a pull-out double futon, and the second bedroom is a perfect kids' room containing two twin-over-full bunk beds. A full-sized floor mattress and two queen-sized air mattresses are available for additional sleeping accommodations for guests. Each of these bedrooms, except the kids' room, has an additional attached ensuite with a shower and soaking tub.
Ascending the first stairwell leads you to the house's main floor. Guests will enjoy the open floor plan of this house, as it provides a grand and spacious atmosphere. The lodge has a contemporary design with beautifully polished wood, high ceilings, and an abundance of windows while maintaining a classical and cozy vibe. The lodge's central wood-burning stove provides the primary heat source for the entire home. To bring the house to a comfortable temperature, starting a fire with wood found in the garage upon arrival is recommended.
The fully equipped kitchen holds all stainless steel appliances, including a double-wide refrigerator, a walk-in pantry, and a gas range stovetop/oven. A large butcher block kitchen island and marble countertops provide ample space for chefs to work their culinary magic. Adjacent to the kitchen, the spacious dining area holds a large wooden farmhouse table with benches under a lovely hanging woodland-style light fixture. The dining room opens up to the home's main living room. Often called the Great Room due to its grand appearance and central location, a new sectional sofa added Nov of 23 and features several electric reclining chairs and enough seating for 12. A 55" Smart TV is perfect for fantastic family movie nights amidst the views of the porch and pristine forest beyond.
The main floor holds the primary bedroom with a king-sized bed, a newly tiled stand-up shower with single vanity, and a soothing sauna room for ultimate relaxation. The second bedroom contains two queen-sized beds with an attached private ensuite. Both rooms on this level have sliding glass doors leading out to the wrap-around porch.
Upstairs on the 3rd floor of the lodge is the spacious game room, including a poker table and various games that are sure to entertain at family game night. On the other side of the house is a tucked-away secondary living area with three deep couches huddled around a small table and shelves, making this the perfect place to unwind with a book or some good company. The entire 3rd floor is enclosed by a wrap-around balcony, perfect for soaking up the morning sun or the starlit night sky. Two additional bedrooms, each with a king-sized bed, are also found on this floor, each with its private ensuite, single vanity, and gorgeous wooden high ceilings with windows overlooking the forest canopy beyond. There is also a spacious laundry room with an oversized washer and two dryers for guests' convenience.
The incredible location of the Great Blue Lodge is a short distance from several noteworthy outdoor recreational activities. Cast a fishing rod at Trillium Lake, or explore the area's many hike and mountain bike trails. In the winter, the landscape changes into a powdered paradise for skiing and snowboarding with world-class skiing at the Timberline lodge. The historical town of Government Camp can be a great place to grab a drink at its multiple brew pubs and local restaurants.
From November to March, snow chains or four-wheel-drive with snow tires is necessary for transportation. If you attempt to drive up the mountain with neither and need to call for help, there is a fine by local authorities. Conditions can be hazardous driving on the mountain without the proper equipment for your vehicle. Transportation provided by Mt Hood Express is available from Government Camp up to Timberline and Meadow, but pick-up times/locations change frequently. Do research beforehand to coordinate transportation around the area.
Please note, the large refrigerator in the kitchen is out of order, but the freezer is functional. There is a back-up refrigerator in the dining room and a second refrigerator on the lower level off the laundry room if needed. The kitchen will be undergoing a complete remodel in April 2023 and the refrigerator in the kitchen will be replaced at that time. Please inquire for further details if needed.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of our VRBO property, the Great Blue Lodge! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and found it easy to get in and out of the driveway. It's great that the lodge was close enough to walk to a decent brewery, and that each person in your group was pleased with having their own bathroom. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the hot tub and sauna - they're definitely guest favorites! We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the dated kitchen, but we're happy that our care team was able to provide things you needed during your stay. We appreciate your understanding about this matter and are excited to let you know that we will be doing a kitchen remodel soon which will make cooking and serving food much easier and more enjoyable. Thank you again for choosing our property - we hope to host you again soon on your next vacation!
Great rental space for a large family like ours!
by J.ForrestGreat rental space for a large family like ours! There were multiple refrigerators (3) for our food which was great for a foodie family. The layout was also awesome for a large group with 12 of us (2 couples with newborns, three couples without children, and two singles) all in comfortable bedrooms. Additionally, most of our family vacations end up with a bottleneck at the bathrooms, but this place had ample bathrooms which was amazing! Highly recommend! Five stars!.
