At Anderson Lodge we are known for our cozy atmosphere and lush forest setting. A recent guest had this to say. “As we reflect back, words that come to mind are: beautiful, cozy, magical, lush, green, tranquil, lively, community, joyful, and love-filled.” What a wonderful way to describe Anderson Lodge.

Välkommen till Anderson Lodge!
Celebrating 39 years! We welcome our guests from Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington and beyond! Anderson Lodge is a unique and extraordinary lodge in Southwest Washington that welcomes thousands of guests every year. The natural setting and homey atmosphere enhance gatherings of all kinds. It is truly something special to get away from the normal stresses of daily life and relax with friends and family or celebrate a special occasion. We strive to maintain the natural beauty of the environment and provide a location for families and friends to reconnect.
We are primarily a group rental facility. That means that all our guest rooms or cabins are a part of a large group rental only. They are not rented separately. You will not have anyone else on-site; just you and your attendees alone! It’s like renting a whole resort, just for your event. Anderson Lodge is a location for private, invitation-only events.
WE ARE OFFERING SUPER DISCOUNTS AT THE HILLTOP HOUSE FOR ALL 2024 DATES!

There are many reasons for a celebration but only one place like Anderson Lodge! There is no better place to commemorate a 50th birthday, an anniversary or other family milestone. How about a retirement party or graduation? There is plenty of parking and you can’t beat the beautiful forest setting. Our spacious conference rooms, quality lodging, and natural setting will make it a truly memorable event.
Retreats
We offer an amazingly unique retreat site in a natural forest setting. Organizations love our uniquely homey atmosphere, on site recreation, flexible meeting areas, personal service and our one-group-at-a-time policy. Of course, the natural beauty surrounding the lodge is the number one attraction. We have many, many retreats at our facility all year. Let Anderson Lodge be a part of your next retreat!
Business Retreats
The natural beauty surrounding the lodge is an amazing setting for business retreats. What makes us special is our comfortable and relaxed atmosphere that is so conducive for a successful retreat. Getting your employees out of the office and away from the pressures of work can bring about a lot of benefits. Retreats can be a chance just to hang out as a group, laugh, and talk to each other outside of the work setting. Get away from it all at Anderson Lodge! Let our preferred caterer spoil you with some scrumptious meals or do you own meal preparation. We aim to please!
School & Youth Retreats
As retired teachers we wanted to create a facility that would be a great place for a retreat for kids and adults. We offer quality lodging, many recreational opportunities and the large meeting areas. Skits & s’mores around the campfire, steal the flag in the forest, hidden talent show in the pavilion and game night in the conference room are a few of the possibilities at Anderson Lodge. Let’s have some fun!

“Celebrations of Life”
The Hilltop House is often chosen for Celebrations of Life and memorial services. We have day-use options that include the use of our conference room, kitchen, bathrooms and lovely grounds. There is something about being surrounded by nature that soothes the soul. The conference room seats up to 150 people and is conducive to a slide show or presentation. There is a kitchen available with commercial appliances for your use. We have tables and chairs, china and flatware, and many meal service supplies for you. You may choose to provide your own meal or utilize our preferred caterer. Restroom facilities are available for your guests. Gather together as a family to commemorate that special person for a day-use event. Or choose to reserve the entire site and have access to our guest rooms and cabins. The homey atmosphere of our beautiful facilities and the lush natural setting surrounding the Hilltop House enhance remembrance gatherings.
Retreats at Anderson Lodge
Anderson Lodge is a wonderful choice for group gatherings of all kinds. We are so well suited for church retreats, business retreats, and reunions that many groups return annually.

Youth symphonies, OSU choir, high school bands, quilters, scrapbookers, school district staff, foreign exchange programs, leadership conferences, concerts, family reunions, volunteerism workshops, yoga and meditation groups, a celebration of life memorial, church gatherings of all kinds, birthday and anniversary celebrations, etc. There are many more to list but I am sure you get the idea that the opportunities are endless.

RECENT REVIEW FROM THE SUMMER SEASON
This venue was amazing!! All of our guests were blown away by the beauty of the venue and the different areas to enjoy, from the ceremony site views, wooded areas for photographs, orchard and field for camping, hiking trails, and indoor spaces – and campfire amphitheater for late night drum circles! Everyone was amazing to work with, and the preferred caterer was equally amazing. Definitely recommend.
Anderson Lodge has two separate facilities for your next event: the Main Lodge and the Hilltop House. You choose which facility best fits your needs. The Main Lodge and Hilltop House are self-contained and are a mile apart. This means 2 events can take place simultaneously without infringing upon the other. Both our facilities are absolutely amazing, so be ready for a difficult decision!
