VÄLKOMMEN TILL ANDERSON LODGE!

Anderson Lodge is  a unique and extraordinary lodge in Southwest Washington that welcomes thousands of guests every year.  The natural setting and homey atmosphere enhances 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. 

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!

We welcome a variety of groups such as:

What makes us special is our homey atmosphere, personal service and our one-group-at-a-time policy. You will notice hints of Scandinavia everywhere you look. The Swedish influence is apparent with the use of hardwood, the Carl Larsson prints on the walls, the fine attention to detail and the distinctive color of the buildings.   Our mission is to make your event a success in every way.  Therefore, we provide exclusive use of our facility for all our groups. Get away from it all at Anderson Lodge in Scandinavian style.   

Nestled in the forest, we are an hour from Portland, Oregon.  We are 23 miles east of I-5, in the beautiful Yale Valley near Mt. St. Helens.  Anderson Lodge is truly a gem of the Pacific Northwest.  Read on to see why our guests return year after year to experience this extraordinary facility.

Or for winter weddings, celebrate in our spacious conference rooms. You owe it to yourself and your family to discover all what Anderson Lodge has to offer.
