Hey Man , I live in Sweet Home and if you are not intrested in camping then Lebanon or Sweet Home would be your best bet for lodging , The Mt House is now privately owned and is no longer a restraunt , the people ar ein the middle of a remodel to make it either thier home or vacation home as far as I know. Besides the drive from the Mt House to hwy 11 ( green Peter junction ) is a long slow drive , you would be looking at about 15 miles of slow driving.
