Located at 140 NE Dayton Street, our historic lodge opens its doors to RV travelers seeking a friendly overnight stop and locals craving the legendary Taco Tuesday gatherings. The air fills with the aroma of perfectly crafted rum and Cokes, strawberry lasagna, and Thanksgiving feasts prepared with care for our seniors living alone. Every plate served and every handshake extended carries the proud tradition of Elkdom—service, fellowship, and unwavering support for our Eastern Oregon community. Whether you're a longtime member or first-time visitor, you'll find genuine warmth, lively conversation, and that unmistakable feeling of coming home.
