Cougar Lane Lodge

"We stayed at one of the RV sites with our family which would have had enough room for our tent as well! Beautiful location right beside the river. Perfect launching pad for our boating excursion where we hired a fishing guide. We caught a 25lb salmon!!! As well as 3 medium sized salmon and a steelhead. Also hooked an 8ft sturgeon!! Got him on video breeching twice!! It was incredible!! We cut him loose but it was insane to see such a monster leap from the river! The water was great to swim in too. Major highlight was the family and community vibe. There was an event to help support the fire fighters. Cotton candy, bbq, and a fiddle player!! Kids were riding bikes and power wheels around the camps. I don't have kids myself but my heart melted seeing all these families making memories together. Hot showers which were surprisingly free! Clean bathrooms. On site mini mart. And although we didn't stay in the cabins, they looked perfect for warm nights playing cards on the porch. We're going back in two months, we loved it so much!"

"First time here with my family and it was great. There was a wedding party ahead of us so we thought it would be quite a wait for our food, but it came within 10 minutes and it was SO good.!! The service was excellent, his name was Noah and he went above and beyond to meet our special needs, (my mother is 97 ).The drive is well worth it."

"Super clean and neat rest stop. Easy to access bathrooms. Food was excellent. Nice people, very helpful with directions and tourist ideas. Gas expensive as to be expected is such a remote location but nice to have it available if you are running low. Beautiful views from deck while you eat; a few annoying yellow jackets."

"Customer service went above and beyond. Owners helped me remove 3 ticks I picked up from backpacking the Rogue River Trail. Restaurant food was wonderful. Highly recommend the brisket with mango relish. Covered back seating area perfect for riverside lunch or dinner."

"I stopped here with my family on the Gerry’s rogue river ride. Fantastic! I’m vegetarian so I just got some sun brewed tea and the veggie burger. Was very glad to find a vegetarian option, especially one that was so good. The meat eaters in my group ordered a sampler platter and were quite pleased with it all. To top it off we had an excellent black berry cobbler. You won’t leave hungry or disappointed. Patio was sunny and warm, just what I wanted off the boat. There were shaded spots too, and some tables indoors. Service was speedy and I got multiple refills."
