Book your room now for a stay at Eagle Rock Lodge! Please don't discount my enthusiasm by thinking (as I've done) that it's written by a perpetually impressed traveller. I've never before written a review on google, although my husband and I have used online reviews for years and have travelled extensively in the U.S. and abroad. Our stay at Eagle Rock Lodge convinced us that it was time to do so. Others need to discover this wonderful, peaceful destination and its delightful owner-lodgekeeper, Debbie. In all our travels, Debbie is the most caring and kind host that we have ever had the pleasure to meet. She knows how to run a top-notch Lodge, with her hands-on, thoughtful approach to ensuring that every detail of your visit pleases you.
Our stay was for 4 nights, 3 of which we had a child with us. The Fireplace Suite offered a spacious sitting area, with the start of a fire built and firewood provided each evening so we could snuggle on the leather loveseat and watch the dancing firelight. We all - especially our child - loved going to sleep with the fire crackling and throwing off light. The room was quiet and contains a comfortable bed (not too soft, not too firm), fresh bed linens and plenty of room for a rollaway for a child. The bathroom (like everything else) is kept spotlessly clean and opens onto a kitchenette and dining area. Large windows provide a view of the beautifully-maintained grounds and the McKenzie River and lots of light.
We enjoyed coffee, tea and hot chocolate in our room every morning; Debbie keeps a beverage station open in the main room of the Lodge before breakfast so you can help yourself whenever you get up. Each morning, we were treated to a different 3-course homemade gourmet breakfast, starting with a preparation of fruit (for example, a fresh citrus combination topped with coconut), continuing with a sweet (such as their light and crispy "overnight waffles"), and ending with a savory plate (usually an egg dish with a meat side, like spinach and cheese frittata with sausage). Debbie sets out a plate of homemade goodies like cookies or brownies in the main room of the Lodge and leaves a bottle of port and wine open for her guests to sample and enjoy in the evening.
You can find much to do outdoors if you have children with you, even if it's raining (we would have enjoyed all these activities without children!). Right at the Lodge, you can be entertained for quite awhile skipping rocks on the McKenzie River. Debbie ensures that the grounds are meticulously groomed and invite strolling. The deck and grounds have plenty of comfortable chairs and benches (some protected from the rain) for relaxing, visiting and reading - all with a view of the clear, clean waters of the McKenzie. Up the road at Belknap Springs, there is a pool fed by natural hot springs; easy enough to purchase a ticket for day use and soak in the highly relaxing pool situated next to the McKenzie. Best of all, Debbie provides you with thick pool towels upon request, avoiding the need to rent thin towels poolside. We were surprised and happy with this kind offer. River rafting with High Country Expeditions was lots of exciting fun and gave us the opportunity to see a long stretch of the scenic and wild McKenzie River with a knowledgable guide. Debbie knows the owner there and they will treat you well knowing you are staying at Eagle Rock Lodge. Finally, we hiked the trails beside the Koosah and Sahalie Falls beyond Belknap Springs - simply gorgeous.
We took away only happy memories from beautiful Eagle Rock Lodge...and are convinced...
