Welcome to the Rugged Country Lodge!

Rugged Country Lodge, the motel "that thinks like a bed-and-breakfast," is situated just minutes from historic downtown Pendleton, Oregon and the closest lodging to The Pendleton Woolen Mills, St. Anthony’s Hospital and WildHorse Resort and Casino.

You'll find...

Around-the-Clock Guest Service

Checking in at our cozy little office, the delicious aroma of gourmet coffee (in the winter) or iced tea (in the summer) and freshly baked cookies will greet you. It’s enough to make your mouth water! Go ahead ... take a handful, or come back for them any time. It’s no problem! You will be greeted by a professionally trained staff member, eager to give you one-on-one personalized guest service, the kind found in four- and five-diamond resorts! And this is only the beginning...

Squeaky Clean

Entering your sparkling clean, upscaled boutique room, you will appreciate our non-smoking policy throughout the lodge. (Tables with ashtrays are conveniently located outside.) Guests who smoke in our rooms will be charged at least a MINIMUM of $100 in cleaning fees.

Fine Decor

You’ll see at a glance that we intend to be your home away from home. No lack luster, boring motel furniture here! We’ve purposely chosen Broyhill’s Attic Heirloom hardwood furnishings in an eclectic mix of colors and styles designed to make you feel right at home. Our choice of quality artwork by Albrecht Bierstadt and Thomas Moran perfectly accent our lodge style and themes of nature, so intertwined in this corner of Northeastern Oregon.

At Your Fingertips

Our Broyhill armoire holds a 27” crystal-clear RCA television with 29 cable channels and its two drawers are ample to hold your personal belongings (after you remove the extra pillow and polar fleece blanket). For your convenience, clock-radios, microwaves and refrigerators are found in each room and ice is always available in the office. Twenty-four hour wake up service and voice messaging are included on your phone, so you can dream soft.

Soak, Soothe & Scrub

Our quaint vintage-tiled bathroom and fixtures are outfitted with thick, luxurious champagne colored towels, Aromae Botanical Natural Bath products, our own handcrafted bath salts in an organza bag, a cushioned bath mat and a squeaky clean shower and tub unit. While our bathrooms and tubs are not overly large they are adequate, and period tile in contrasting colors makes them a favorite! The 1950’s renovated bathroom includes elongated toilet and a pedestal sink with a privacy window.

Dream Soft

The best is yet to be! You would think our Spring Air Imperial Elite top-of-the-line queens (with 580 coils per inch) would be enough, but we’ve added a divinely soft two-inch platinum pillow topper, two down pillows and a down blanket sandwiched between two Martex 200-thread count bone-colored sheets ... now you’re definitely ready to dream soft.

Gotcha Covered

Should you need an iron/ironing board, hair dryer or an item you may have left at home, please call our office for fast, friendly delivery to your door. We have just about everything you need, including free wireless in each room, copy/fax services, laundry/drycleaning, crib and air mattress and many other extras to make you feel at home.

Rooster Room

Our expanded, fresh continental breakfast is something to crow about! Our gourmet European brew coffees and hot chocolate will aromatically draw you toward breakfast in our ‘Rooster Room,’ where fresh cinnamon rolls, yogurts, fresh cut fruit, hard-boiled eggs, gourmet pastries, breads and muffins, Tropicana orange juice and more are served until 10 AM. Sometimes, when we’re in the mood, we even offer sausage gravy and biscuits! You can eat at indoor or outdoor tables or take a tray back to your room for more privacy.

Meeting Room

The Rugged Country Lodge's meeting room (the 'Sunflower Room') is available for private events. We are always looking for ways to make our guests' stays even more comfortable and this room, adjacent to our Rooster Room where our gourmet breakfast is served, will benefit all guests and community members seeking an intimate meeting facility. The Sunflower Room comfortably seats 12 (or more, if tables are removed), is furnished with square tables and chairs, a television, VCR or DVD player and has a private bathroom. Gourmet coffees and teas, cold beverages, cookies, fruit and lunches can be arranged with prior notice.
