Experience a truly memorable winter journey aboard our brand new PistenBully 400 snowcat, designed to transport guests in comfort, safety, and warmth through the breathtaking snowy landscapes of the Cascade Lakes Highway. Departing from Dutchman’s Flat Sno-Park near Mt. Bachelor, this scenic ride offers panoramic winter views as you relax in a heated cabin, with plenty of space for both passengers and their gear during the approximately one-hour trip to the resort.

Discover a perfect alpine escape once you arrive, whether you are stopping in for a cozy hot lunch at the lodge or heading out to explore the pristine surroundings. Guests can enjoy snowshoe adventures through quiet forests or glide peacefully on cross-country skis around the frozen lake, making the journey as rewarding as the destination itself and turning a simple transfer into an unforgettable winter experience.

We had Christmas Eve dinner at the resort. The food was spectactular! It's a beautiful location and a very cosy lodge. Their snowcat transport in and out was also very convenient. Highly recommended!

Snowcat ride to lodge. What a great way to spend a day! We booked the snowcat ride to the lodge and back and had a great time. The snowcat is brand new. Like immaculate inside. The seats were comfortable and the cabin was warm. You could control the temp if it got too hot by opening the skylight. The ride down and back took about 1.25 hrs and there were stops along the way to look at the views. At the lodge there was a full bar and restaurant serving drinks and hot chocolate. We walked around the property and lake on some groomed trails and then came back to the lodge lunch. I had the elk burger and the other people had the club sandwiches. The food and service was excellent. There were other guests there with snowmobiles that would come and go. It's super peaceful and quiet. We even saw a black fox. I would highly recommend this place. The new owners and entire staff are super nice and have remodeled the lodge and updated the vibe. This is a do not miss attraction for the city for locals and visitors from out of town looking for a backcountry snow experience without the stress.

Really enjoyed our stay at Elk Lake Resort. Cabin #26 was a fantastic fit for me and my 7 friends. The two small maintenance issues we had were dealt with quickly. Pizza and ice cream were delicious. Renovations are being done by new owners and I can't wait to go back. Lake is clear and while we had paddle boards, rentals are available. It was fun renting and taking out the pontoon boat. Highly recommend staying at Elk Lake Resort.

One of the best places to visit in the Cascade Mountains is Elk Lake resort. Beautiful scenery, small lake with clear blue water and surrounded by mountains. Iconic small resort that has new owners and already the energy involved is infectious. Tried their new pizza kitchen, and the crust and choices of topping were great. I have stayed with my family here for 11 years in a row and hope to continue this tradition. Norah Brennan
