Don't judge a book by its cover.....I enjoyed my stay at this lodge. Located in a small town but close to so much. You have within a drive a National Park, waterfalls and hotsprings. There is a gas station and sandwich shop across the street. Reception was professional, room was clean and spacious. Nice hot shower. You can't go wrong with this lodge. Book today!

Really old building needing some major renovations, could have been kept cleaner. TV remote only worked in changing channels, even then someone had to show how to turn on in correct input! I was told someone would fix the next day but never did...

The Dawson is an older property that is fairly well maintained. The bed was comfortable, the room clean. Chemult was close to our destination, Crater Lake. The locals told us the place was haunted, but we didn't see any spirits!
