From the first minute we walked in to Dawson House we felt welcome. Owner Colleen is very accommodating and helpful, such a nice lady! It was a great location for our Crater Lake visit. The history of the property is also very interesting. We were in the Rose room which was very spacious and we enjoyed sitting on the 2nd story porch in the evenings.

Comfy and welcoming

This is in a small friendly town. The lodge could use some updating even though it is in an old lodge building. Colleen that owns it but just took it back over from other management checked us in and was very helpful and friendly.

Dawson house lodge

No one available at Checkin, relied on phone call to book in, no use when no phone~ had to wait for another guest to arrive.  Wrong WiFi password so no way to contact owners.
Though advertised as 24 hour coffee and drinks in Lobby none available until we left after the second night, not good when no facilities in room to make drinks! Only 1 hand towel for both of us in room, no tissues , flannels  as found in most other motels. 
Cleaner had left discarded , full bin bags by the room which were never removed during our stay. Sink had a leak underneath, only spotted the full bowl there when looking for spare toilet roll, would have overflowed if not seen and emptied.
TV didn't work, managed to reset it eventually. WiFi code in room book wrong, other guest  suggested correct one. 
Furniture was tired and  mismatched and somewhat worn and wobbly.
Over 1 month on we are still awaiting a reply to our emails sent during our stay.
One of the most expensive on our roadtrip and definitely the worst.!

Stay away, worst overnight stop ever!

The Dawson House Lodge is exactly as charming as I hoped it would be. It was clean, adorable, safe and welcoming. Check in was easy and the owner was very responsive. There are night noises here - the hotel is between the train tracks and the freeway, the building creaks and you can hear other guests, but none of it was disruptive. The tub in the Rose Room was as advertised! Love it here and am planning a return trip already!

What a lovely get away!

This was great lodging for a tired family.  Comfortable and rustic room.  There is road and train noise throughout the night.  Nice upgrades are being done.  Would stay here again.  Food can be found at a cafe across the road or at the truck stop nearby

Great room affordable

My husband and I stayed here two nights while on our road trip to visit Crater Lake. Great location to Crater Lake with gas stations, a Subway, and a convenience store within walking distance. Awesome price. The owner was very kind. There's coffee available all day and lots of DVDs to check out. The sheets on the bed and the towels were the best we had on our 18 day trip -- super soft! I only wish the TV was larger.

Excellent Stay

The property is very well-maintained, and the owners are phenomenal!  They are friendly, quick to fix any issues, and keep the place immaculate.  What others have said is true, food options are VERY limited, but that is not the fault of the lodge.  Chemult is a rustic town on the way to a national park, options are going to be limited.  My room was perfect.  The bed was quite comfortable, the air conditioner kept my pup and I nice and cool, and there was a sliding door that led to the back so that I didn’t have to go into the lobby just to take my dog out.  Due to the fact that I had seen all I wanted to see with an extra day to spare, I decided to leave a day early, and I let the owner know the afternoon prior.  She was beyond understanding, and refunded me for the one night I didn’t stay, which was not necessary, but greatly appreciated.  

I think previous reviewers who gave Dawson House 3 stars or less might have some unrealistic expectations when it comes to lodging in a remote area such as Crater Lake.

Dog friendly place to stay while visiting Crater Lake

I absolutely loved the Rose Room with the four poster bed, Jacuzzi (my favorite) and very clean.  In addition, I had a DVD, TV , microwave and refrigerator in my room and a large selection of DVDs and fresh coffee  in the lobby.  I loved the fact there was a quaint Café and gas station nearby and a short drive to Crater Lake. I had to cut my trip due to the snow and the owner was gracious enough to credit the day I left.  I would be remiss to address the service rendered by a young man when I was checking in.  I am sure the owner would appreciate the feedback.  I am a senior citizen that booked on line with Expedia and the paperwork stated my check in was at 3:00pm. I drove 3.5 hours and arrived at the Lodge at 3:30pm.  I noticed a paper on the desk stating due to lack of staff, the early check in will not done.  I heard someone in the back talking on the phone and laughing and I tried to get his attention.  I finally sat down and he came out at 4:00 pm and  promptly told me that no early check in was allowable.  I tried to show him my paper showing 3:00 pm and he ignored me. During the course of checking in, he was chewing a large amount of food with his mouth opened.  During the course of the check in,  he never even looked at me and was extremely rude with short and curt answers.  I travel alot and this is the first experience that I have had that the staff displayed uncaring and doing me a favor.  I hope the owner will address his customer service skills.

Rose Room Amazing

I liked this place...older cabin style with no extras really but has a good vibe.  Plenty parking, gas next door and restaurant that has good food across the street. This was corona virus time so many restrictions going on...but they were open and clean. Only drawback...is on Main Street and trucker noisy...

Small town big heart

Stayed for a night on our way out from Crater lake. The hotel is right next to a highway. The room, though small, was fairly priced. The bathroom was clean and had all the amenities. Having a microwave in the room also helped.
