Where Crystal Waters Meet Timeless Tranquility

Nestled quietly on the Metolius River

Where Stillness Comes Naturally

Tucked along the edge of the Metolius River, this is a place where simplicity and serenity take center stage. Mornings begin with soft light dancing on the water, and days unfold at your own unhurried pace. Whether you’re sipping coffee by the window, wandering beneath towering pines, or listening to the steady flow of the river, you’ll find a rare kind of peace that lingers long after you leave.

Riverside Serenity, Steps From Your Door

Each of our lodges sits just a picture window away from the ice-cold, crystal-clear waters of the Metolius River. Its source—bubbling up mysteriously from underground lava tubes just upstream—remains one of nature’s unsolved wonders.

Whether you're a dedicated fly-fisherman casting barbless hooks or simply looking to enjoy a peaceful walk along the river’s gentle banks, the Metolius offers a rare sense of calm and connection to nature you won’t find anywhere else.

Unplug, Explore, and Reconnect

Leave the noise of everyday life behind and settle into a slower pace. Curl up with a book from our cozy office library, grab a game from our lodge collection, or head out for a scenic hike along the river.

Adventure is always within reach. Swim or boat in nearby lakes, tee off at local golf courses, or explore horseback riding, river rafting, and seasonal alpine and Nordic skiing. Mountain biking enthusiasts will love the scenic and challenging trails that wind through the Three Sisters and surrounding forests—right in the heart of the Metolius Recreation Area.

Year-Round Comfort & World-Class Fishing

The Metolius River is open for fly fishing all year, offering rewarding experiences in every season—from vibrant summer days to quiet, peaceful winters. During peak season (late May through October), enjoy direct access just steps from your lodge.

Our location also places you within easy reach of legendary waters like the Deschutes and McKenzie Rivers, where guided trips can elevate your fishing adventure.

Back at the lodges, relax in our collection of immaculate, homespun cottages—most featuring fully equipped kitchens, cozy fireplaces, and stunning river views. Open year-round and designed for comfort, it’s the perfect home base for your next escape.

We have been staying at the Metolius River Lodges at least once a year since 1999. We absolutely love this place. The peacefulness of the Lodges, the river, and the surroundings are so relaxing whatever the weather happens to be.

Delightful!  Keep the Rustic Charm.  Stayed in larger cabin 25 years ago.  Been coming to Camp Sherman for almost 50 years!
