The Inn at Mazama

Branding a Boutique Mountain Oasis

The Goal

Capture the spirit of Mazama’s natural beauty through a refined brand and website that simplify booking, showcase adventure, and elevate the Inn’s growing reputation.

The Challenge

Nestled in the scenic Mazama Valley of Washington, the Inn at Mazama had long been a hidden gem for adventurers drawn to world-class Nordic skiing, climbing, backpacking, and heli-skiing.

As the Inn began attracting broader attention, they needed a brand and website that could:

  • Reflect the natural beauty of the region
  • Differentiate between Inn lodging and Cabin rentals

Provide a seamless booking experience for visitors

Key Outcomes

  • Launched a modernized digital presence that reflects Mazama’s beauty and adventurous spirit
  • Built a streamlined booking experience across both hotel and cabin rentals
  • Designed sibling brand identities to distinguish property types while preserving cohesion
  • Supported the Inn’s transition from local gem to renowned Pacific Northwest destination
