Have a comfortable meal or refreshing drink on one of the porches. The covered front porch has a nice dining table for morning coffee or evening meals. The covered back porch has two Adirondack chairs to relax in with a view of the Cascade Mountains in sunrise or sunset. Below the deck leading out of the dining room there is a gas BBQ and a small patio set for casual dining.
The kitchen has all the modern amenities with range, refrigerator, dishwasher and Microwave. The arched window allows a view of Union Peak, located in Crater Lake National Park and Bessie Rock which is on the Rogue-Siskiyou National Forest. Bathroom and laundry speak for themselves with tiled floors and appealing colors. The bathroom has a shower and plenty of towels for the guests. The laundry has washer and dryer provided so your laundry needs can be met while you are traveling.
The bedroom, located off the dining area, offers a queen size Select Comfort Sleep Number bed. There is extra bedding and pillows available to make your stay more comfortable. The “second bedroom” is dubbed the “Sun Room”. It has a comfortable queen bed for sleeping and has a sunrise view of the Cascade Range and Union Peak. It has a private deck with comfortable Adirondack chairs for relaxing on a summer evening.
The home is surrounded by majestic Douglas fir, Ponderosa Pine and Incense Cedar. Most of these trees can be considered “Old Growth” by local standards. Many of them are 150+ years of age. This area was once heavily timbered until it was settled in the mid to late 1800’s. These trees are some of the reminders of what things were like back then. The cabin is located in what we consider a rural neighborhood near Prospect, OR and is on 5 acres so there is plenty of privacy.
Lost Creek Lake is located about 3 miles south of the cabin and is a great place for fishing, boating and swimming. The marina located there has a small restaurant, fishing supplies and boat rentals. There is a small grocery with gas located just a mile from the cottage.
It is a one hour drive through Rogue-Siskiyou National Forest and Crater Lake National Park to reach the rim of Crater Lake. There are many things to see along the way including Natural Bridge on the Rogue & Rogue River Gorge. Historic Union Creek Resort offers Becky’s Café which specializes in Huckleberry Pie…a local favorite. The small town of Prospect is located just 5 miles from the cabin. There you will find Prospect Pizza, a small grocery and a gas station. Just below Prospect there is a trailhead leading to Mill Creek and Barr Creek Falls and the Avenue of the Boulders on the north fork of the Rogue. Just across the road from the Prospect Store you will
find the trailhead to Pearsoney Falls.
There is access to all aspects of the Wild and Scenic Rogue River from its headwaters to the main river below Lost Creek Lake. There are areas for rafting novices as well as seasoned rafters and kayakers. There are fantastic views of the river and quiet, out of the way places to see and enjoy it.
The owners, Steve and Janna, have lived and worked in Southern Oregon all their lives. They have a combined 50 years of work experience with the US Forest Service and can be a useful source of information about local sights, native plants and the wild animals in the area as well as local history.
There is no phone but if you need to keep in touch there is cell phone coverage in this area.
