Following its successful debut in Bozeman, the hospitality brand selects the Pacific Northwest and Southern California for its next outdoor adventure basecamp locations
BEND, Ore., Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Field & Stream Lodge Co., the hospitality platform born from the iconic Field & Stream media brand, announces the location of its next two properties: a 151-room basecamp in Bend, Oregon, set to open in 2028 following a full renovation of the former Shilo Inn; and the a renovation of the former Holiday Inn Resort Big Bear, a 148-room property on Village Drive featuring a restaurant, meeting space, suites, and an outdoor pool and hot tub. The forthcoming reimagined hotels mark Field & Stream Lodge Co.'s second and third lodge since its debut in Bozeman, Montana, both slated to open in 2028. Founded by Starwood Capital Group and AJ Capital Partners, Field & Stream Lodge Co. plans to continue to expand with more locations nationally.
"The Starwood Capital Group and AJ Capital partnership reflects a shared passion for hospitality, design, and adventure, as well as a long-term commitment to the Field & Stream Lodge Co. brand," said Mac Stormont, Senior Vice President at Starwood Capital Group. "In Bend and Big Bear, we're excited to work with local communities to create destinations where travelers and local guests can make lasting memories with family and friends."
Bend is one of the fastest-growing outdoor recreation markets in the country. The lodge sits directly on the banks of the Deschutes River, a waterway known for its blue-ribbon trout and steelhead fishing, and less than two miles from downtown Bend, home to a concentration of outdoor lifestyle brands, craft breweries, and an active local culture. Guests will also have year-round access to skiing and mountain biking at Mt. Bachelor and climbing at Smith Rock.
Just a two-hour drive from Los Angeles, Big Bear is a year-round mountain destination in the San Bernardino National Forest. The lodge sits along the main road through the village, a 10-minute walk from Big Bear Lake, and just minutes from Bear Mountain Golf Course. Winter centers on the Alterra-owned Big Bear Mountain Resort, spanning Bear Mountain, Snow Summit, and Snow Valley with roughly 680 skiable acres across the three mountains, while summer brings boating and water sports on the 3,000-acre lake, along with mountain biking and more than 100 miles of nearby hiking and biking trails.
"Bend and Big Bear both have the same qualities that drew us to Bozeman; they are towns built around getting outside with true, year-round adventure in every direction," shares Scott Ebbott, Principal at AJ Capital Partners. "We're seeing outdoor recreation continuing to pull more travelers out of cities and into towns like this, so we're looking to build with the same approach we had for our first lodge. Our hotels are rooted in place, and created for outdoor travel seekers of every kind, including families, first-timers, seasoned adventurers, and everyone in between."
While each location embraces the Field & Stream brand, every hotel has a personalized style, incorporating local tributes through its design and hospitality. Rooted in the legacy of Field & Stream, Lodge Co. reimagines the media brand's heritage for today's outdoor enthusiasts, with a mission to make the Great Outdoors more accessible through adventure-ready accommodations designed for comfort and exploration in some of America's most beautiful natural destinations.
Additional details on Field & Stream Bend, including room offerings, amenities, and opening timing will be announced closer to the property's debut. For more information, visit www.fieldandstreamlodgeco.com/locations.
