The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and so was the rest of the inn. The fire pit was a great place to watch the stars and enjoy the evening. We had a great stay and would definitely stay at Crooked River Inn again.

Very nice property with access to the water. Very nice pool and fire pit. The breakfast however was no better than the Hampton Inn - poor. There's a great bakery in Alanson. Too bad the Crooked River Lodge doesn't take advantage of it .

Cleanliness was important to me. I have a rather severe allergy to dogs and requested a non pet friendly room. Dogs are restricted to the first floor. My room on the second floor was perfect with no hint of dog and a I had no allergy symptoms. No allergy symptoms on the first floor either. I would recommend.

Loved the nature all around the property and the small town vibes. Everyone was super nice and helpful. Loved the balcony to see the sunrise. The pool And hot tub being open 24hours for adults was amazing. So peaceful around the fire pit, made some s'mores. Game/ hangout area was great, felt like being at home in the living room. The room was clean. The only thing was I would have liked to have a microwave in the room. For late night snacks. The breakfast was good, loved the waffles. The ladies kept the breakfast area super stocked up. Would definitely stay again.
