About Grand Lodge

An escape into the extraordinary

Walking guide

This former Masonic & Eastern Star property 25 miles west of Portland is peppered with unique rooms, restaurants, bars and a spa. Free live music and events fill the calendar, and summertime brings musicians from across the country to Concerts in the Grove.

From the Ironwork Grill to Pat’s Corner and the small bars tucked between, you’re sure to find a tasty bite and heartwarming quaff in a cozy spot, indoors or out. Our beer, wine, cider, spirits and coffee are handcrafted at McMenamins, and a vegetable garden and estate chickens help supply the Ironwork Grill’s kitchen.

Recharge in one of the 90 guestrooms or find your medicine in the Doctor's Office bar, where pool tables beckon. Late night revelers may meet the Lavender Lady, whose spirit is said to drift through the halls. The Lady and historic figures are commemorated with historical photographs and fanciful art woven through the rooms and halls, from baseboard to ceiling.

Rejuvenate in the soaking pool nestled among outdoor greenery, then savor a massage, manicure or other restorative treatment at Ruby's Spa.

15 minutes away, guests can discover Hagg Lake for fishing, boats rentals, and trails for hiking and biking, as well as the thrills of a zipline park adjacent to the lake. More fishing and hiking spots are found in the Tillamook State Forest. And Grand Lodge is just an hour’s drive to the famed Oregon Coast.

Nearby, the vineyards and winery tasting rooms of Oregon Wine Country beckon, and SakéOne, the leading brewer of craft saké in the U.S., is just down the road.

Grand Lodge allows pets in some outdoor areas and in hotel rooms for a fee.

Grand Lodge Guestrooms

Check-in is at 3pm; checkout is at 11am

The 90 guestrooms at the Grand Lodge feature whimsical artwork, original porcelain sinks and air conditioning. Guests may choose from rooms with private baths, or shared common private bathrooms down the hall. For ADA rooms, please contact the hotel directly.

Foundation Guestrooms reflect musicians and others who have influenced McMenamins in some way; there's the painting of Bob McMenamin (the father of Founders Mike and Brian) and his namesake "Bob's Bar" featuring live music until 10pm, adjacent to the rooms, as well as a Bob Marley room. This wing is part of the building's foundation as well.
 
The Main Floor Guestrooms benefitted from a recent upgrade, giving the majority of rooms their own attached bathrooms.
 
Our newest addition, the Third Floor Guestrooms, each have private bathrooms, and are named after a literary passage or book, which inspired the artwork as well. It’s a floor full of mystery and surprises around every bend. Enjoy the hand-painted headboards inspired by writers, and a Grateful Dead-inspired light bulb display.

Hearing a suspicious knocking in the walls? Not to worry – it’s not a ghost or some noisy neighbors. It’s just our historic and efficient radiator warming up to keep things cozy.

Art

Artwork plays an important role in the character of McMenamins locations throughout Oregon and Washington. We believe art makes life richer and more enjoyable. So, you'll often find paintings covering our walls, ceilings doors, overhead pipes, and equipment – works as diverse and entertaining as our places for family and friends. Many artists have contributed to this vast variety of delightful eye candy. Jump in and enjoy some now!

History

1917

After 20 years of planning and fundraising, designs are initiated at Forest Grove for a Masonic and Eastern Star Home for the State of Oregon "for the aged and infirm, and the poor and distressed worthy Master Masons, their widows and orphans . . ."

1920

The first contract for construction was let on May 2, and the corner stone was laid June 16.

1922

The main lodge's central area and east wing are completed on January 1. The first resident, Brother Henry Mounts, moves in on February 24. The dedication of the Home is held on June 14.

1926-27

The smaller building, called the "Children's Cottage," is completed in November 1926. Intended to house orphans of Masons, the Cottage's capacity is 32 children.

1927-28

It is determined that the orphanage should be closed because the relations between the elderly and the children are less than harmonious. Children start relocating to outside families.

1933-34

The salaries of Home employees are slashed 15 percent.

1938

New dairy barn built to save money on the cost of dairy products.

1957

Farm and dairy is discontinued in view of financial deficits.

1962

The Columbus Day Storm causes considerable damage: most of the Cottage roof is torn off, the dormer roof over the main lodge porch is damaged and twenty trees are uprooted. The power is knocked out and remains off for several hours, but the Home's auxiliary plant is in action within ten minutes of the power outage.

1970

The offices of the Oregon Grand Lodge are relocated to the former Children's Cottage.

1988-89

The Masons build the Jennings-McCall Center, a 72-unit elder-care apartment complex just north of the Masonic Home.

1999

The Masons build Jennings-McCall II and a new Grand Lodge office and meeting facility with the intent of moving out of the original Masonic Home and Children's Cottage. McMenamins agrees to become the new "custodian" of the great old property. Renovation begins that fall.

March 1, 2000

The property reopens as McMenamins Grand Lodge.

 

Fermentation Chamber

In the depths of the Grand Lodge, we’re transforming fresh vegetables and herbs to concoct new flavors in old favorites with small-batch sauerkraut, giardiniera, curtido, vinegars and shrubs – and these tangy delights are being woven into entrees and cocktails served at Grand Lodge restaurants. You can also find our shrubs and other products bottled to go in select McMenamins hotel gift shops.

Check Grand Lodge menus for the latest or ask your bartender for a cocktail crafted with our seasonally featured shrub (a drinking vinegar with just the right amounts of fruit, sugar and vinegar).

Weddings  Meetings  Social Events

An event at the Grand Lodge will leave a lasting impression on your guests, whether they are colleagues, family reunion attendees or friends gathering for a wedding celebration. We offer a variety of event spaces, guestrooms, a full-service spa and more.

A gathering at the Grand Lodge takes you into a beautifully rural wine-country setting – yet is still convenient to the Portland International and Hillsboro Regional airports and only 30 minutes to downtown Portland.

Contact our sales team to inquire or book your event.

      The property reopens as McMenamins Grand Lodge.

       

  • Fermentation Chamber

    In the depths of the Grand Lodge, we’re transforming fresh vegetables and herbs to concoct new flavors in old favorites with small-batch sauerkraut, giardiniera, curtido, vinegars and shrubs – and these tangy delights are being woven into entrees and cocktails served at Grand Lodge restaurants. You can also find our shrubs and other products bottled to go in select McMenamins hotel gift shops.

    Check Grand Lodge menus for the latest or ask your bartender for a cocktail crafted with our seasonally featured shrub (a drinking vinegar with just the right amounts of fruit, sugar and vinegar).

  • Hold your Private Event at Grand Lodge

    Weddings  Meetings  Social Events

    An event at the Grand Lodge will leave a lasting impression on your guests, whether they are colleagues, family reunion attendees or friends gathering for a wedding celebration. We offer a variety of event spaces, guestrooms, a full-service spa and more.

    A gathering at the Grand Lodge takes you into a beautifully rural wine-country setting – yet is still convenient to the Portland International and Hillsboro Regional airports and only 30 minutes to downtown Portland.

    Contact our sales team to inquire or book your event.
