Private Boater Reservation Policy

Half Moon Bar Lodge recognizes and greatly appreciates its community of private boaters. Private boater reservations can be made starting on February 4, 2026 through our website www.halfmoonbarlodge.com. 

Please call (541) 841-5067 or email house@halfmoonbarlodge.com for additional reservation inquiries. 

All reservation requests are subject to management approval and will remain pending until confirmed. 

Planning a stay with fewer than six (6) guests?

Just send us a quick email to confirm whether we have enough additional bookings for the lodge to open.

To open and operate the lodge, a minimum of six (6) guests staying overnight is required. 

Reservations can be made up to three (3) days prior to the intended arrival date.

Arrivals and Departures 

Arrivals and Early Check-In

Check-in is at 4pm, unless prior arrangements have been made. 

Early check-in can be accommodated with prior notice and will require additional payment. 

Upon arrival, boaters are to communicate their arrival via walkie talkie located at the tram, or by walking up to the grounds.

All boxes, coolers, and food containers are to be taken out of the boats and loaded onto the tram along with overnight bags. Anything that is not needed in rooms for the stay can be secured from bears in our tram house.

Your bags will be portered from the tram to a central location for collection. 

Departures and Late Check-Out

Check-out is at 9am, unless prior arrangements have been made. Please allow for time to reorganize boxes and coolers into boats if necessary. 

Late check-out can be accommodated and will require prior arrangements and additional payment. 

Review Prior to Your Arrival

Absolutely no pets of any kind are permitted.

Please do not show up with your dog. This creates an uncomfortable situation for our staff and your group as well. Your party will be turned away and your trip will not be refunded.

All rooms are non-smoking. Smoking is prohibited in areas where it may disturb other guests. Please be mindful of proper disposal of burning material.

No outside alcohol is permitted. 

Off premise wine will need to be surrendered and served by our staff. There is a $10 corking fee.

Camping is not allowed on the property. 

Cooking your own food is not allowed.

No candles or open fires of any kind. 

Layover

An overnight layover at Half Moon Bar can be accommodated with prior arrangement and will include a lunch fee of $20. 

Terms and Conditions

Cancellations

Prior to 60 days: Cancellations made prior to sixty days from the stay will receive a full refund. 

Between 60 and 30 days: Cancellations made between sixty and thirty days from the stay will receive a 50% refund of the total amount. 

Less than 30 days: Cancellations made less than thirty days from the stay will not receive a refund. 

Guest Roster and Contacts

Groups are required to designate one person as the Trip Leader (TL).

This is the person that is the contact person for the group. The TL is responsible for having a complete and accurate list of all those on the trip and emergency information for each person. 

Accommodations

Meals and Dietary Requirements

Appetizers, dinner, coffee service, and breakfast are included as part of the stay. The meals are vegetable focused with generous portions of perfectly prepared proteins.  

In order to provide the best possible experience for our guests, we ask that dietary requirements be shared with us via email 30 days before your launch date.

Send dietary requirements to house@halfmoonbarlodge.com.

We are able to accommodate the most common of dietary restrictions. We do not have a gluten free kitchen, but are able to accommodate gluten free foods as needed. We will work, within reason, to ensure a comfortable and delicious dining experience. The earlier your restrictions are made available, the better prepared our chefs can be.  

Bar

We offer a full bar with signature drinks and a focus on top shelf selections.

In the morning, we are able to make espresso drinks. Guests are welcome to purchase from the bar and pay us directly. 

There is a $10.00 corking fee, invoiced upon departure, for wine sourced off premises.

We accept Visa, Mastercard, and cash for these purchases.

Because we are a fully licensed bar, the only alcohol served on the property must be purchased from our bar. 

Gratuities

Our staff works hard to ensure the best possible stay and quality care. Gratuities are always greatly appreciated.

We encourage our guests to give appreciation in cash, rather than credit cards. 

Bagged Lunch

Half Moon Bar Lodge would love to provide a bagged lunch to be taken with you and enjoyed on the river. Please give notice if this is wanted to allow our kitchen time to prepare. 

Bagged lunches include a gourmet sandwich, bag of chips, canned soda, an apple or piece of fruit, and Michelle’s World Famous River Cookies. 

Half Moon reserves the right to sneak little snacks and a love note in the bag. 

The price of a bagged lunch is $20. Notice and payment should be made thirty days prior to arrival. 

Swag

We have shirts, hoodies, hats, visors, and stickers available for purchase at the lodge.
