We now have air conditioning for each room! In summer, daytime temps can reach the mid-nineties. However, night-time temps will drop into the low fifties to low sixties.

As for heating…Each room has efficient electric heaters to keep you warm and toasty.

Activities

Fishing?

“Gorgeous scenery, very few other people, big fish, and family fishing opportunities—it’s a fisherman’s paradise with some of the best still water and river fishing anywhere.”…

Hiking?

“Take a leisurely hour-long walk, hike for a day, or explore a designated wilderness for a week. All the choices provide beautiful scenery, abundant birds and wildlife, and an opportunity for some solitude.”

For more information visit the website Adventures Near Crater Lake.

Boating?

“Kayakers and canoeists could spend a lifetime exploring 15,000 acres of waterways, but we need your help.” Upper Klamath Lake has a fantastic canoe trail and there are numerous other paddling opportunities.

Birding?

“The Upper Klamath Lake marshes and open water next to forests host a large variety of birds in a relatively small area. Over 350 species of birds call this major Pacific Flyway layover home! This is also a refuge for more than just birds, offering humans relief from their hectic lives.”

Weather?

Let’s put it this way…In this neck of the Oregon woods, it’s a good idea to be prepared for the possibility of any type of weather.

See our “weather widget” at the bottom of each web page, in the footer for a general idea of what the current weather is like.

Food?

Depending on the time of the year you visit Crater Lake, there are from 1 to 3 options. In Fort Klamath (where we are located) there is a camper store and organic deli & grocery. In Chiloquin (12 miles southeast of the Aspen Inn) there are a few different restaurants and two local grocery stores.

Gas?

Between late May and early October, regular gasoline is available in Crater Lake National Park at Mazama Village. Locally, the Crater Lake Junction Travel Center is open 24/7 and is just 14 miles southeast of the Aspen Inn.

Smoking?

All accommodations are non-smoking. No exceptions. Per Oregon statutes, smoking is prohibited within 10 feet of all public buildings, and discarding cigarettes on the ground is considered offensive littering. These statutes also apply to medical and recreational marijuana. Guests are welcome to smoke in areas away from accommodations and we ask that you respectfully dispose of cigarette butts safely and properly.

Guests are responsible for a $150/night cleaning fee if management determines they have smoked in the room.

Cancellations

A two-week notice of cancellation or change (shorten reservation by one day, etc.), prior to arrival, is required for refunds. For example: A reservation for Sept. 7th would require cancellation no later than 10:00 p.m. on Aug. 24th to avoid forfeiture of deposit. When two-weeks notice is received, deposits are refunded in full, less a $20 cancellation fee per room. Cancellations and changes made with less than two-weeks notice will result in a forfeiture of the full deposit. Also, if the reservation stay is shortened with less than 2 weeks notice, guests are responsible for the additional nights.

Advance Payment

Upon making a reservation, a deposit equal to one night, plus tax, is charged. Any balance due for a multiple-night stay, pet fees, etc. are required upon check-in.
