New outdoor sports-oriented chain Loge has taken over this 1950s-era motel and given it a fantastic makeover. All rooms are spacious and available in a variety of bed configurations although most have a couch plus a hammock strewn across the middle (plus other gear you can try out and purchase). Dorms have a communal kitchen and lounge area.
It's located 20 minutes from Mt Bachelor and about five minutes from downtown Bend, pretty much in the center of bike-ski-beer-vana (mountain bike trails are right out the door). Take a dip in the pool and hot tub, dine in the cafe or grill up your own dinner in the outdoor picnic area. You'll likely meet other like-minded folk wanting to chat about the day's adventure.
