I’m honored to open this fourth generation private estate to the public and lead the property to a new phase as a resort,” said Loy Helmly, General Manager. “I look forward to welcoming guests to one of the most unique locations in the Northwest.” With two well-appointed meeting rooms and majestic views from every window, the Main Lodge is an ideal place for a corporate retreat or company meeting. Six additional individual cabins can host additional overnight guests. This majestic natural environment is a peaceful and beautiful space for those seeking professional or personal inspiration. Destination weddings, family retreats and outdoor concerts are ideal celebrations in warm weather with space for up to 125 guests in exquisite outdoor venues. In the coming months the local community, and guests to the boutique resort, will enjoy music, culinary and outdoor recreation events unique to the area and highlighting the many features of the House on Metolius and the surrounding areas. Both
leisure and adventure travelers may partake in a wide range of year-round
outdoor activities. With an elevation of three-thousand feet, typical summer
weather usually means clear, warm, sunny days and cool evenings with occasional
frost. Summer activities include hiking, mountain biking, bike touring,
and recreational climbing at Smith Rocks. Nearby Suttle Lake offers swimming,
waterskiing, canoeing, kayaking and paddle boating. In winter, guests can
snowshoe and cross-country ski on the property. Nearby Hoodoo ski area
offers downhill and alpine skiing as well as sledding and inner tubing
for everyone in the family.
