Timberline Lodge

Set on the south slope of Mt. Hood at 6,000 feet, Timberline Lodge is a National Historic Landmark built in 1937 during the Works Progress Administration, when more than 500 workers completed the 55,000-square-foot stone-and-timber structure in just 18 months. President Franklin D. Roosevelt dedicated the lodge in person, and it was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1977. That alpine setting and handcrafted architecture — local volcanic stone, massive timbers, and hand-forged iron throughout — give the lodge a striking backdrop for weddings, meetings, and group celebrations found nowhere else in the Pacific Northwest. The lodge offers several distinct event spaces, from Ullman Hall's wood-paneled reception setting to Raven's Nest, with its large A-frame windows and mountain views, to outdoor ceremony settings on the patios and at the mountain amphitheater. One mile above the main lodge, the timber-and-stone Silcox Hut offers a more intimate, alpine setting with a fireplace for smaller weddings and gatherings. Timberline is home to six restaurants, including the Cascade Dining Room, Ram's Head Bar, and Blue Ox Bar in the historic hotel, plus the Wy'East Cafe and Y'Bar across the parking lot. Its in-house culinary team prepares Northwest Alpine cuisine using seasonal, locally-sourced ingredients for weddings, conferences, and private events.
