Five Minutes from Crater Lake National Park

Five Minutes from Crater Lake National Park

8/10 Good
"We stayed here while visiting Crater Lake National Park. The home was conveniently located about 30 minutes from the park entrance. This is a pretty no frills home but did the job. We had space to spread out for the three of us. The kitchen was well stocked. The owner does mention it in the listing but the water supply is from a well and does have a taste we aren't used to. There is a water dispenser and note about the water. It would have been nice to have some ice so I might suggest picking a bag up on your way in. We used the oven and microwave to reheat leftovers and everything worked smoothly. There was ketchup and mustard in the fridge and some spices, cooking oils and coffee in the cabinets. Also canisters with flour and sugar. The water pressure is low because of the well but it worked. There was soap, shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom which was nice to have. The beds were comfortable. From the backyard, you are pretty much surrounded by cattle ranches. We woke up to cows across the driveway from us (fenced in, of course). We didn't have great weather for sunsets but I imagine, they would be very pretty sitting in the backyard. You can also see a lot of stars as there is little artificial light around the property. We used the pool table all of the nights we were there and had fun playing with the piano. There are also some games, books and DVDs to use. Be aware the driveway is tight and comes up quickly. Take your time getting in."

"I planned a trip to Carter Lake late in the process and all hotels closer to the lake were booked. It was about a 30-minute drive to Crater Lake from this hotel, which was not a problem for me. The hotel is older with few amenities, but it is clean and safe. The staff was very friendly, and the hotel was fine for me."

"The property was great! Very clean, nice breakfast, good access to water for our water bottles, and we enjoyed the hot tub and fitness center. Wish the staff could have accommodated a cheaper second room for us (when my first night with my snoring mom was a trial :)); it was a bit of a bummer to be told I needed to pay max rates when the hotel still had 15% capacity left and I’d already paid for another room… but that’s the way it goes during peak season, I guess! Otherwise, great stay."

"Our time at this cabin was a well needed rest on our 10 day trip in Oregon. The back yard was a beautiful oasis. The creek with beavers and duck family were fun to watch. The evening sunsets while sitting on the deck were so beautiful! The cabin, although not the cleanest, had a well equipped kitchen. Due to the closeness to the road, we did hear car traffic at night in the bedroom. The hosts were very friendly and quick to respond to our questions prior to check in."
