Oregon has some truly bucket-list-worthy accommodations; places that offer mountaintop vistas, coastal retreats, and forested fantasies. In Mt. Hood, the Timberline Lodge is known for its incredible views, intriguing history, and winsome charm–and Oregonians have long known it as one of the superlative spots to stay in the state. Recently, the Timberline Lodge made Reference.com’s list of The Most Legendary Place to Stay In Every State, where it’s being hailed as the most legendary place to stay in Oregon.

Built in 1937, Oregon's Timberline Lodge has long been a grand getaway for visitors wanting to experience the magnificence of Mt. Hood.

If you’re a movie buff, you'll recognize Timberline Lodge as the same hotel where Jack Nicholson’s character in "The Shining" met his demise.

Director Stanley Kubrick chose the hotel’s exteriors as the face of Overlook Hotel in the horror film, and it's this notoriety that earned the lodge in Oregon a place on Reference.com's *legendary* list.

But don't be spooked by its horror movie connections; Timberline Lodge is an absolutely enchanting place to stay.

The Timberline Lodge features an array of charming accommodations, from cozy suites with fireplaces to luxury condominiums with fully equipped kitchens and multiple bedrooms.

The Ram's Head Bar at Timberline is the most winsome little restaurant, boasting delicious fare, an impressive drink menu, and stunning views of Mt. Hood and Mt. Jefferson.

And during the holidays, Timberline's Main Lodge Headhouse becomes a delightful, *Hallmark-movie-level* place to be, complete with a towering Christmas tree and crackling fire!

This Oregon destination resort offers guests a variety of world-class amenities, from the cafes and bars at its Wy’East Day Lodge to a spectacular outdoor pool and hot tub that are open year-round.

Timberline Lodge is a beautiful destination any time of the year; and in fact, it is the only ski area in North America open all 12 months of the year.

Skiiers and snowboarders come from all over the PNW to enjoy these mountaintop slopes.

And it's Timberline's unique location -- 6,000 feet in the mountains -- that allows for stunning star gazing come nightfall.

Add it all up, and yes, Timberline Lodge is absolutely the most legendary place to stay in Oregon!
