Our Neighborhood

Located in the Oregon Coast Range, Mandolin Creek Lodge lies a few miles off of US Route 20 and Oregon Route 180, about halfway between Newport and Corvallis. As the crow flies, The Lodge can be found a little over one mile east of downtown Summit, Oregon.

Our Neighbors (1 minute)

There are only a handful of families that live within a mile of us. One neighbor shares our main driveway. Another lives across the street from the Lodge property. The only other neighbors on our street live across from the Farm.

In short, you will find few places that offer such complete peace and quiet.
