In 2008, the inn was used in filming of prom scenes in the first film of the Twilight Saga film series.^{[citation needed]} The exposure generated by the film was credited with giving the hotel and its restaurant a boost in business.^[2]

In July 2011, the building's second floor was gutted by a fire, and its owners, Geoff Thompson and Angelo Simione, faced financial difficulties,^[3] as the insurance on the building had lapsed.^[4] In October 2013, plans were made to rebuild and reopen the historic structure, with work slated to begin the winter of 2013–2014.^[4] Restore Oregon listed the inn on its 2012 list of Endangered Places; in December 2014 it reported that restoration was unlikely.^[5]

In 2016, Heiner and Sheron Fruehauf purchased the Inn and began restoration. According to the owners, they anticipate reopening the Inn as a holistic health retreat in 2024.^[6]
