What an amazing, beautiful, fresh breath of Oregon air! We were fortunate to attend a wedding here…read moreand were equally impressed with the wedding event and its venue/backdrop. Set among the Smith Rock State Park and monkey face rock sits this impressive ranch/development. It's a private gated community that boasts gorgeous views of Oregon's high desert combined with magnificent Tuscan style homes. The scenery here is one of a kind and it only got better as the sun began to set, colors changing and shadows enhancing the views and landscape. The wedding was held outside at "the stables", a rustic looking building with a small fountain out front and endless views of amazing, pristine natural beauty. I really enjoyed the architecture that's subtly dotted through out the community. The lot sizes are spacious and each home is so unique...no cookie cutter track homes here, lol! As if that weren't enough, there's plenty of ponds, lakes and rivers to fish... My dad pulled 14 fish in less than and hour w my kids! Needles to say they had a blast, EPIC! There's endless trails to hike in the area, both by foot or by horse. If you're looking for a wedding venue, this was an amazingly special locale. We felt blessed to be able to share such a special day with family in such a beautiful place. Props!

The place is perfect for a wedding party. The rooms are large and some have cozy fireplaces. The Great Room had a large fireplace, along with a grand piano. The dinning room and lounge area was warm and relaxing also with a fireplace. Great for conversing and enjoying a delicious meal. They have 3 lodges and 3 cabins. The Main Lodge is immaculate. Speaking of meals, this place has amazing food! Catered to the brides's liking, the appetizers, lunch and dinner was an assortment of fresh green salads, roasted seasonal veggies, crab cakes, wild rice, roasted lamb and chicken skewers, roasted duck, grilled trout, pickled cucumbers and to top if off, continental breakfast was served every morning. This place is a foodie's heaven. If I lived near by, I would eat here once a week just for the homestyle cooked food! Just when we thought the afternoon reception was over, just after 6 PM, they served us the leftovers! I NEVER had this type of experience before! They also cater to special diets, for people like me with sensitive tummies. I felt spoiled and blessed to have had such unbelievable meals catered just for us! I feel so grateful to have this once in a lifetime experience and recommend House on Metolius to all those lovers of the great outdoors. Mahalonuiloa to Loy and Jade for attending our every need and the secret Chef (whoever she/he may be =)

We got married at the House on Metolious last summer. I almost couldn't write this post because…read morewhere do I even begin. From the grounds (which are exquisite) to the service (unbeatable) - it was truly a weekend to remember. We rented out the entire property and all the cabins. Rachel and her family were there every step of the way- no detail was too small. On the night of our rehearsal, my dress broke. Her husband scavenged the property for 30 minutes to find the safety pins and rig me back together! Our friends never stop talking about this adult camp. It was such a fun way to spend time together. The property is stunning and our pictures look like they're from a magazine. They have great relationships with all the vendors which really helped smooth out the planning. And they always let you come back to say hi and revisit the property. I couldn't recommend a place more. We will certainly be back to visit and rent the cabins for our anniversaries!

Unfortunately, this was not the experience we were hoping for. The best part of our visit was…read moreeasily the views, which are beautiful, but nearly every other aspect of the experience was disappointing. First, our group of three was informed that a mandatory 20% large group service charge would be added, which felt surprising considering the level of service we ultimately received. After waiting over an hour for our food, we had to go find someone ourselves to ask about it because no staff members were walking around checking on tables or updating guests. It turned out our order seemed to have been missed entirely, and we were then told it would take another 15 minutes. We also noticed multiple groups around us waiting around the same amount of time for food, so this clearly was not an isolated issue. While we understand it was Memorial Day weekend and likely busy, we would hope the winery would anticipate and staff appropriately for holiday traffic. When the food finally arrived, the pizza was undercooked and lacked flavor, and the chicken Caesar salad tasted very basic and prepackaged. For the prices, the food quality and service fell well below expectations. The setting and atmosphere itself are beautiful, but the service and food quality need significant improvement before we would consider returning or recommending this winery to others. We felt it was important to share our experience in hopes that this feedback leads to meaningful improvements for future guests.

I wanted to finally go wine tasting somewhere in Oregon. We were told to try out this winery so we…read morefinally just went for it. It was a far distance to travel from where we live but very much worth it. What a cute winery with beautiful views of the mountains. It's a very relaxing environment. They had a couple of cute, tiny, winery kittens that they had just gotten. They were adorable to watch roaming around the premises. Their wines are good, so again, worth driving the distance and we will drive the distance again. They offer food as well. We ordered pizza and a charcuterie board with chocolates and cheeses. The service was very good. The ladies were very nice and helpful. If you are in Oregon and would like to go wine tasting, this is definitely a winery to check out.

She shared the history of the Riedel glassware company and explained how the shape of each of the four glasses changes the aroma and flavor of the same wine. It was fascinating to experience the difference firsthand. Ashley was knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly patient with our group, even when we got a little chatty and wandered off topic. She made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. The charcuterie board was more than enough for the two of us, and every wine we sampled, from the bubbles to the Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and final bottle of Cabernet, was an excellent selection. This was something completely different from a typical wine tasting, and we really enjoyed it. I already have several friends in mind who I think would love this experience. I hope Willamette Valley Vineyards considers making the Riedel Glassware Experience a regular offering!

Big Meadow is one of two fine golf courses at Black Butte Ranch, the other being Glaze Meadow…read more - Excellent course layout with some nice views of the nearby volcanoes, more so than you'll see at Glaze Meadow. This is not a course you're likely to get bored on. - Greens are well maintained, roll true and are 'readable'. When I played there were a few green that had been significantly repaired with new sod. But they still rolled nicely. - Fairways in good condition. Good shot will almost always find a good lie. - Plenty of bunkers but they're not too punitive. The sand is not the best - a lot of large rocks. - Very little water; the trees, long grass in the rough and bunkers protect the course. - Beverage cart was in operation and stopped by several times - Decent practice facilities; did not see a practice bunker Overall, I like Big Meadow even more than Glaze Meadow. It's not too difficult for high handicappers and probably offers a good challenge to scratch golfers. The clubhouse contains Roberts Pub, a very nice 19th hole.
