Callahans Siskiyou Lodge :: Ashland, Oregon

Architectural rendering of the New Callahans Lodge

The race is on to get Callahan's Lodge and Restaurant back in action before the 2008 tourist season.

This landmark inn and restaurant located near the Mount Ashland exit on Interstate 5 has been a source of memories and dreams, if not dining and lodging, since fire leveled the establishment on September 2, 2006.

"We addressed two constraints," says Ron Bergquist. "The first was to make it as compatible and consistent with people's memories as we could; that was our prior restraint for making changes. The other was from what we've discovered during 12 years of operation, what we felt the market really needed and how we could best meet the market."

That led to a design intended to charm long-time clients and intrigue newcomers, he says. "There were times when we said 'If only we had a bigger banquet area,' or wished we had more rooms after we booked up all our rooms so quickly," Bergquist says.

The new Callahan's will start with 19 suites—more than double the former offering—and swell to 22 when the Bergquists' present residence is remodeled into three suites.

The finished project will encompass 27,000 square feet and rise four stories. The banquet room will be three times bigger than the old one, with seating for 150 people in tables of eight. As a meeting room, it will hold up to 200 people.
