Hoodoo's Crescent Lake Resort

What Hoodoo's Crescent Lake Resort does

Hoodoo's Crescent Lake Resort is a privately-held, seasonal outdoor hospitality resort operating under a Special Use Permit with the Deschutes National Forest in Klamath County, Oregon. The property is located on Crescent Lake, approximately 65 miles from Crater Lake and 75 miles from Bend, and is open seasonally from mid-May through late September. The resort's core offering is 21 uniquely configured furnished cabins — ranging from studios to 3-bedroom units — rented on a nightly basis at published rates of $130 to $350, with a 3-night minimum stay required during the peak June-through-August window and on holiday weekends. Reservations are accepted up to 400 days in advance via the Checkfront-powered online booking platform (integrated with Authorize.Net for payment processing) and by phone.

The business model layers multiple revenue streams on top of cabin lodging: hourly and daily equipment rentals (Sea Doo jet skis, kayaks, paddle boards, aqua cycles, fishing boats), tiered moorage slips (nightly to full-season), on-site food and beverage through The Pines Bar & Grill (open Thursday–Sunday during the season), a general store, ancillary fees (pet fee, extra person fee), and a 9.8% room tax pass-through. The resort also markets itself as a venue for hosted events including weddings, family reunions, corporate retreats, and birthday parties.

The customer base is exclusively direct-to-consumer — leisure travelers, families, outdoor enthusiasts (hiking, fishing, water sports), and small event groups — with no enterprise or B2B contracts identified. The company is founder/owner-operated with a headcount of six, has no parent company, subsidiaries, funding rounds, or M&A activity on record, and does not hold patents or trademarks. Marketing relies on the company website, a Twitter account, a Facebook page, an email list, a public events calendar, and TripAdvisor-sourced earned media; technology is limited to standard third-party SaaS (Checkfront, Authorize.Net) with no disclosed AI/ML, mobile app, or API surface.
