Sisters Motor Lodge - History of Sisters Motor Lodge

History of Sisters Motor Lodge

In 1938 the Santiam Wagon Road was officially closed and the N. Santiam Highway was opened to traffic. Shortly thereafter, in 1939, Sisters Motor Lodge was built. It’s the first motor hotel to be opened in Sisters, and it’s the oldest building in Sisters still being used for the purpose for which it was built.

Originally there were nine motel rooms, a home, and three motor garages. Beginning in 1993, the current owners expanded to eleven guest rooms, re-modeled and re-furbished the interiors of all the rooms, added a patio, Jacuzzi hot-tub and water feature for guests; and remodeled the interior of the home.
