Relaxing, Luxurious High Desert Refuge
We (my wife and I) had a chance to stay at the Cascade Guest Ranch for a couple of nights in August after catching a concert in Bend at Hayden Amphitheater, and let me just say - we were delighted. The location is beautifully remote, with spectacular views of the Three Sisters mountains picturesquely framed in the huge windows, surrounded by cattle ranches. The fit and finish of the ranch home is absolutely top notch, from the spacious living area and wonderful kitchen to the heavenly bedding and luxurious bathroom. There's lots of space to spread out and relax, both indoors and out. We actually had more plans in the area during our stay, but we decided to cancel them to stay in, relax, and read, we felt so relaxed and "at home"! We typically don't sleep particularly well when we travel, even in high end hotels, but we both experienced some of the best sleep we've had in awhile here - the bed, bedding, and pillows are absolutely exquisite (so much so that we've contacted the owners to find out the brands - very tempted to upgrade our bedroom at home with the same setup!). Of many wonderful little touches, among our favorites were the armchairs setup facing the windows, complete with binoculars for taking in the view in more detail. We spent several hours in these chairs, just drinking coffee, reading, talking, and watching the birds and, yes, the cows. The little things really took the level of relaxation over the top - fresh eggs in the kitchen, yogurt, berries, granola, multiple ways to make coffee, along with little snacks, chocolate, and wine. We did manage to pull ourselves away one morning for breakfast at a fun little brunch place in Bend, but it was hard to leave. Overall, one of the most relaxing quick getaways we've had in a long time - we can't wait to book another stay.
