Friday Lodge is Lake Merwin’s signature move: calm, cinematic, and unmistakably Pacific Northwest. This 5,012-square-foot retreat rests on 2.07 acres, with lakeview panoramas framed from most rooms and a welcoming rhythm that makes it easy to exhale. As you walk in, reclaimed vintage fir flooring from an old schoolhouse sets the tone with the charm you’d recognize at McMenamins. Vaulted ceilings create an inviting lodge atmosphere, while a river rock gas fireplace in the oversized great room and a full wet bar support relaxed entertaining and quiet evenings. At the heart of the home, the open kitchen is built for real cooking and real company: hickory cabinets, a generous island, a walk-in pantry, and double ovens ready for holiday spreads and weekend brunch. When the day slows, the primary suite becomes its own private escape, featuring a two-sided fireplace, soaking tub, and an oversized walk-in shower for unhurried resets. The lower level lives like a home within the home, with a second kitchen, office, flex room, and guest quarters that make longer stays feel comfortable and unhurried. It’s well-suited for visiting family, weekend guests, or anyone who appreciates having their own space. At dawn, Lake Merwin wakes gently. Light moves across the water, catching soft pinks and golds, and the decks invite you to take it in: morning coffee, a book in hand, or a quiet moment at dusk. For anglers, this lake is its own reward. The waters are rich, calm, and alive, a reminder that you’re part of a timeless tale woven from the Pacific Northwest’s wild heart. When night settles, the lake shifts again. Stars open across the sky, the hot tub and fire pit offer front-row views, and the last light reflects off the water in brilliant color. Friday Lodge is pure Lake Merwin energy: gorgeous, restorative, unforgettable. Explore the website for extra photos, the video, and Love Letter in Lyrics, written just for Friday Lodge.
