Steamboat Inn

We passed this place on our way to Crater Lake and when we stopped at the Lake, we googled it and decided to stop on our way back for cocktails and a bite to eat. Oh my gosh, we were so glad we did! We walked in and was greeted by Lesley/Leslie who was so sweet. The main dining area/gift shop was so pretty and homey. When you go thru that area, there is like and enclosed patio area. Walk on a little bit and there is an outdoor seating area that is so beautiful and peaceful. We elected to sit there. The landscaping is pretty and the location is on the North Umqua River (I think that’s correct) in a section that has a couple of sets of rapids. The ambiance was so peaceful and quiet—and yes, even the sounds of the rapids was soothing. I was intrigued by their tomato-coconut soup and Lesley couldn’t rate it since she didn’t like tomatoes but when we asked another patron, she said it was delicious. I had to try a cup of it and hubby and I ordered their Smoked Steelhead Dip—I couldn’t tell you which one was the better of the two because both was amazing! What can I say about Lesley: she was so bubbly and outgoing. When I relayed that to her, she said she was born to be a server and I couldn’t agree more. She was outstanding! Don’t miss stopping at this place if you’re in the area. It is so totally worth it.

Unexpected change in travel plans granted us the pleasure of staying at this quaint riverside inn. A peaceful setting along the river. Dinner on the patio was fabulous. I wish we could have stayed longer. I'm hoping we can make it back to Cabin 1 someday.

Everything about the Falls suite at Steamboat Inn was perfect. It was so cozy and comfortable on all counts. The view was exceptional! The food was amazing! And.... the staff was so friendly and helpful. The hikes nearby were stunning. This is a great place to unwind and enjoy the natural beauty.

My wife and I usually go in the summer for our wedding anniversary. Both of the luxury suites, The Falls and The Maple, are excellent with a comfortable living room with kitchenette and hot tub. We usually hike and swim in the early afternoon before checking in before dinner. Superb food. I enjoy the sound of the river. We will be back again.

We recently had reservations the last of July staying approx. 5 days in a cabin. We also had other family staying at the inn. We stayed one night since the smoke was hazardous, and the cabins do not have AC just fans so we couldn't cool the room. We cancelled our reservations the next day due the hazardous conditions. The smoke was really bad. The manager did not refund any funds due to the unaccommodating cancelation policy. I figured there would be exceptions due the smokey condition. So, if you're traveling and there are fires in eastern Oregon or hazardous smoke use caution when booking at the steamboat inn.

My family and I loved the Steamboat Inn. The cottage we had was beautiful with lovely amenities. We had a spectacular dinner in their library which was elegant yet casual. The food was fantastic! All of the people we dealt with were so friendly, they made us feel like family. It was a beautiful ride to Crater Lake from there the next morning. Only problem was we wish we could have stayed longer!
