FivePine Lodge and Spa — Hotel in Sisters

This is one of those times when I've debated leaving a review because of considering whether it's better to keep it to myself and not tell everyone how amazing it is. My husband and I decided to treat ourselves to a little getaway instead of purchasing presents for each other this holiday. We drove down from WA and arrived shortly after dark so haven't even had a chance to explore the grounds, trails, or adorable town of Sisters nearby that was all decked out with lights as we drove through. Check-in was smooth and easy, and we were given cards to fill out for requesting our breakfast to be delivered to our rooms in the mornings during our stay. We easily found our Serenity cabin a short distance from parking and rushed in out of the cold. The room was preheated and every bit as nice as we hoped. More incredible and thoughtful details than I can even list, including the cutest little journal for guests to write experiences in and leave for future guests. It was so fun skimming through to see everything from people recording game night scores to writing about their memorable wedding and vacation experiences! We ventured out for a short walk to the lodge to get a lovely bath bomb and some DVDs for later, then to Three Creeks Brewery for dinner and sat in the bar area. Everything about this experience was absolutely great! The bartender who waited on us was perfect. She was friendly, engaged, attentive and thoughtful. We ordered cups of clam chowder and shared a 3 piece fish and chips and thoroughly enjoyed every bite along with our Sisters hard seltzers. We ordered a 6 pack of them to take back to our room with us, then decided to have some marionberry cobbler for dessert. The bartender added everything to the tab and waited until we were ready to leave before bringing the drinks for us to take so they stayed cold. The dessert was incredible and so big we couldn't finish, so she brought separate containers for the cobbler and ice cream for us to save for later. After getting back to our room, I enjoyed soaking in the tub next to the gas fireplace while we watched a movie, then my husband tried out the shower, and we both snuggled into the wonderfully comfy robes provided in the room after putting on some of the great smelling and nicely moisturizing Shibui spa green tea lemongrass lotion. I am writing this as we are relaxing before bed thoroughly enjoying our experience so far and unable to imagine our 2nd day being better than the first, but excited to visit the spa for a couples massage and maybe head to the theatre for a movie. A wonderful start to what we expect to be an incredible experience and already planning our next visit! Can't wait to make this a...

This place is very nice. We stayed in the main lodge and the room was great. It was large, clean, and had everything we needed. It had a double french door ground level patio to sit out on, a fireplace with two adjustable reclining chairs to see it front of it and relax or watch TV (above the fireplace). The bathroom is big enough for 20 people to mill around in which was excessive, but cool. It has a HUGE shower area, a big tub (not jetted) and private toilet area.

The staff are (or were for us) super nice and friendly as well. And there is also a little store in the lodge should you need a few things and it did not overcharge you for "convenience" so that was nice.

The land around is nice, full of trees and walking paths. And it is a short walk to the town of Sisters nearby for shopping and food alternatives (about 10-12 minutes at a slow/moderate pace).

A couple of interesting things....

This place has it's own movie theater that places CURRENT theater movies. The screens and sound is great and it has all the standard candy/popcorn fare plus you can get hot foods brought to you in the movie if you wish.

NOTE: The public has full access to this theater so it is not just for guests. Popular movies could sell out so plan just like any other theater.

Across from the theater is a pub/restaurant with traditional pub food and pizza. You can eat in or take it back to your room.

The ONLY negative I have for this, which is not their fault totally, is that this place sits on the highway. So you always have the sounds of traffic and big trucks going by (only when you are outside). So maybe try to book one of the cabins further back in the property if you think that would bug you.

Finally, the ultimate review point...

I would 100% stay...

Booked a standard Lodge Room for a long weekend at FivePine. This is a great rustic-feeling resort with some modern amenities. Service is friendly and efficient. The lodge is an open plan with a large fireplace dominating the center of the room. I don't remember seeing it lit, but maybe that's reserved for the winter? Stairs provide access to the upper level rooms. Did not see an elevator, but wasn't really looking for one, either.

The rooms themselves are two levels - the upper level is a large bedroom with a desk, armoire, two nightstands and a bed. Light blocking shades keep the room dark, even when the sun is out.

Downstairs is a very large bathroom with a shower, two sinks and a very large tub. The tub is filled in a novel way; I won't spoil the surprise. There is a large window next to the tub that can be shuttered for privacy, but opens out into the sitting room and allows views of the gas fireplace. It makes for a nice romantic evening setting.

The sitting room has a fridge and bar sink; there's also a love seat that opens out to a double bed, as well as two leather adirondack chairs facing the fireplace. There's also a private deck outside the sitting room. Ours faced the street, so we did not use it much, as the traffic passing the lodge is substantial.

Breakfast is continental and provides some gluten free alternatives. There is a brewpub and a movie theater (current titles) 100 yards from the lodge. They have cruiser bikes to loan guests; no locks are provided (they say there's no theft issue), but you will still have to sign a liability waiver. EV guests have two Tesla chargers and one standard J1772 Bosch charger available in the front. There's access to a fitness club and there are both indoor and...
