Shelter Cove Resort & Marina

Loved it. It was a winter wonderland!  Cabin D was perfect for our family and the proximity to Willamette Pass ski area is outstanding.

Shelter Cove is a great place to go for the scenery and fishing. I have been coming here every year for 7 years now and enjoy the fishing. The staff is very helpful and the rooms I have stayed in (Kokanee) have always been clean and well stocked. I always fish with the lodge guide (Dave Jones) on the first day of my week and it always pays off. He is very knowledgeable and willing to share information and techniques. Dave gives me a head start on my fishing in my own boat for the rest of my stay. I will be back again next year.

Coming to Odell Lake in May and June is the best. So beautiful, and the Kokanee fishing is world renown, If you have a boat, get mooring and enjoy as many days as you can, it will not disappoint. Camp ground improvements are great, power at every site. And the Hook & Talon food has improved from a toaster pizza to Prime Rib or Salmon dinners. A great place to stay 1 day or 1 weeks!

We called a week ahead of time and asked if they could meet our accommodations and was told they have everything ready. We requested a site for our dogs specifically to play and swim in the sun. After checking in, we drove to our spot, then drove back to the office. A 10x15 gravel section with NOTHING but gravel and a firepit, next to NON-Swimable full bloom algae water, is where we were assigned. Half of our trailer and vehicle were to be nosed out into the gravel parking lot like at a tail gate party. They asked if we would like to move as the worker agreed that site was horrible. Unfortunately 99% of their other sites are all under thick dark dense wooded area, all sites we specifically asked to avoid before making the reservation. The gravel parking lot sites are the ONLY sunny sites available. How these are $96 a night sites beats me. Homeless camps in our area are nicer than these dirt holes they call sites, and they at least have grass. The online presence of this campground is fraudulent compared to the reality of Shelter Cove.

The cabin was clean and cozy with beautiful scenery as advertised. The check in and out process was very easy. Close to the slopes on Willamette Pass. Staff was friendly. Planning on coming back during the summer to fish the Odell Lake as well.

We make an annual snow trip here with several families and love it! The cabins are comfortable, warm, and beautiful, in the location can't be beat! It's great for little kids as you can play with the snow right out your door or take a short walk to great sledding hills.
