The Shilo Inn in Bend, Oregon, closed due to bankruptcy in January 2026, leaving some employees unpaid. Former night auditor Larry Meisner reported $3,800 in unpaid wages related to insufficient funds at the hotel before its closure.
Field & Stream Lodge Co., a company with roots in outdoor gear and clothing dating back over 150 years in Minnesota, opened its first hotel in Bozeman, Montana, in spring 2026. The company recently announced plans to rebrand the former Bend Shilo Inn property as its first Pacific Northwest location.
New signage placed on the former Shilo Inn site signals a projected reopening
in 2028 under the Field & Stream hotel brand. The signs feature phrases like “Great lodges. Great outdoors.” and “Out with the blue in with the new.” to promote the property’s relaunch.
The former assistant general manager of the Shilo Inn Bend will join Field & Stream Lodge Co. at the Bend location but has opted to remain anonymous until official announcements are made. Staff reportedly welcomed the transition due to previous issues with missing paychecks during their tenure at Shilo Inn.
Field & Stream’s hotel expansion into Bend represents its first step into the Pacific Northwest market. This move
diversifies the company’s portfolio from outdoor retail to boutique lodging while reviving a historic hotel property in Oregon’s north end. An employee at Field & Stream’s Bozeman office confirmed the brand’s upcoming presence in Bend but declined to comment further on details or timelines.
