We were annoyed most of the time. The drinks were delivered and took over 25 minutes just for that. The food took forever. Very understaffed place. Not worth the wait in my opinion. read more

BUYER BEWARE!!! Brasada is putting the hard sell on buying real estate. The dirty little secret is they are understaffed and cater to hotel guests. Members are a low priority and good luck trying to get into any of the facilities. Staff members are great but paid much lower than neighboring resorts so turnover very very high. They just raised the daily resort fee if you rent outside their hotel rooms to 56 a person per day. Highway robbery. Do NOT buy a house or build one without talking to current residents first. We were sold a build and highly encouraged by their sales guy (drives a Mercedes at high speeds all over the resort now) to build an ADU to rent. Big mistake. Brasada trying to undercut these airbnbs with high fees and poor service. Just a scam... many owners currently considering legal action. read more

The facilities are amazing and golf course is fantastic. Management however.. needs a total rebuild. Beware of excessive add-on fees and misrepresented promotions. Im amazed to have received 3 representations from various employees about what the "Summer Sanctuary" did and did not include, and yet I was ultimately charged for the "Free Golf" in addition to the $3,000 access pass that was tacked on post booking AND a required "Covid based" extended minimum stay. To say that Brasada Ranch has received TENS of thousands in booking fees the last couple years is no exaggeration. Its amazing to me that they will let a customer go for a 175$ green fee stemming from deceptive promotional practices. Buyer Beware: Don't look for the fine print because its not there - it's just plain false advertising and an inexcusable exploitation of the Covid Pandemic. Consider Pronghorn or Sunriver and get owner-level management with the same level experience -- without the short-minded exploitation. read more

Our experience was nothing short of exceptional. Had the distinct privilege of dining at The Range Restaurant this past Saturday evening. Food was inventive, seasonally specific, masterfully prepared and pleasing to the eye. Lead by Brooke, this was a master class in team service. Multiple table touches by leadership which made us feel special. Bravo team! read more

We love staying here! My mother just passed away and our family needed to get away. So peaceful here! The cabin was spotless and comfortable. The service was impeccable. I thought we had reservations at the Ranch Restaurant, but it seems I made them for the wrong day and the manager was so pleasant and accommodating, saying he would make it work. He sat us down right away. This says a lot, especially with how busy it was In there. The scenery looking out every window was breathtaking. We will definitely be coming back next year! read more

Love the adult only pool. Lodge room was perfect for an adult escape from our children. The views from the room were incredible - we were on the top floor of the lodge. Only real issue was a lack of vegetarian food options at the on site restaurants. They had some options but when you are staying several days you end up eating the exact same thing every day. Staff felt like they were always trying to make the guests happy, it was a very fantastic trip. We will be back! read more

This place is amazing. I wish I lived here. We went straight to the beautiful pool for some drinks and food. I got a cheeseburger that was a little under cooked for me but not was hungry so I ate it. The waitress told me it came with fruit or chips so I got the chips thinking they were potato chips. But when I got my cheeseburger they were corn chips with no salsa or nothing. I thought that was kind of weird. The cheeseburger was $12.00 so I was hoping for a little more. We watched the packers game in a private little room off the restaurant in the main lodge. The manger there I think names Jason really hooked us up. We are and I got the half chicken. I have to say it was like the boiled the chicken and I am not a big fan of that. I was starving so I at it but it was pretty bland. The golfing was top notch. Such a nice course with great views. Be careful on the greens as they are very fast. I could not believe how big the jack rabbits are on the course. The house we stayed in was pretty nice. It was huge. Kind of weird shower head in the shower. It was adjustable but it sprayed at you and not on top of your head. Overall I would come back. But the price for the quality of food was disappointing. Oh and $16 bucks for a six pack Goodguys Pale Ale was pretty steep. Seems like they take advantage of you since the nearest store is 15 miles away. Also, they charged us $41 extra on out bill at check out that we never charged to our room. They corrected it for us tho. read more

It's a special place and friendly service. A new chef in town so exciting menu items to come.

Central Oregon overall is an amazing place to travel. Every meal was delicious, service was amazing wherever we went and everywhere felt safe and walkable. There is such a variety of activities in the area that while we were only there for a long weekend we actually had the time to decompress and relax from our busy schedules.... Now on to the ranch. We reserved a two bedroom cabin with a hot tub. I anticipated the ranch style but I was not expecting the details in the hardwood floors, woodwork, art, and do many little touches. There was a full kitchen with a gas range, refrigerator with ice maker, and all of the utensils that a family would need for a comfortable extended stay. There was even a BBQ on the back patio. We went with another couple and I appreciated that it was two master suites with their own bathrooms on opposite ends of the cabin so that we all had our own space. In addition to the fantastic cabin, the service and the panoramic views throughout the site were beyond words. I would recommend the horseback riding and a sunset dinner at the Ranch House. I heard the smores were to die for but we were so stuffed by all the amazing meals in the area. I could continue on but a review just doesn't do it justice. My husband and I are already talking about coming back on a multiple couples trip, another trip for the family, or figuring out how we can afford one of the houses or cabins on the property. It was that amazing! read more

Food delicious, atmosphere amazing, I live in the surrounding area and was originally concerned Brasada would bring a Beverly Hills type attitude to the area of really blue collar salt of the earth people. I have never been so happy to be proven wrong. The food, service, and staff were AMAZING, my guests and I were treated with so much respect, and really felt welcomed and comfortable. I can't wait to go back again! I hope they never change! read more

To me, what really makes for a great resort is all of the amenities they offer. Brasada Ranch has stolen our hearts yet again. We first visited the resort last year for our 7th wedding anniversary and decided to come back this year for our 8th. It's a getaway but not too far from home. We live in the Portland area so it's about an 3 hour drive for us. The ranch offers everything we need and more. This year we decided to take more advantage of some of those amenities. There is horse back ridding, fishing on the ranch, golf (pretty spendy), a spa, indoor and outdoor pools, even a kiddie pool we took, our little one in. There are miles and miles or walking trails and even driving trails up top the ranch that you can do a little off roading on, we did that last year and the views are to die for, they just can't be beat! One of my favorite things would have to be the club house; I mean there is a gym, pools, activity room with DVDs to rent or watch there, free arcade games like basketball and race car driving. There is a kid rock climbing wall, tons of board games to play and a separate room for the toddlers. I mean, the list just goes on and on. We had a blast in there playing on one of our days. The cabins themselves are beautiful. Last year we got the one bedroom with a hotub this year we opted out of the hot tub but wish we would of spent the extra bucks because it's nice having that. Though, there is a hot tub in the main building that anyone can come down and use but it's nice having it right there on the deck. The cabins are fully furnished with beautiful counter tops, hardwood floors, amazing décor, nice leather couches in the living room, flat screen tvs, nice comfy beds, fully stocked kitchen with all of the supplies (even a coffee maker). Everything is there, just bring your food, clothes, self and any extra entertainment you may need. There is a restaurant on site that we haven't visited however, we did have food in the main building where you check in. There is a bar and there and smaller dinning area you can get food from. The front even offers a TV sitting room where you can go and watch sports games and have cocktails and drinks at the bar. Very relaxed environment. I know there is so much more I'm missing but this review is turning into a novel. One of the coolest things are all of the jack rabbits and beer you see around the ranch running around. It's a very nice place that has quickly become a tradition for us. A little on the spendy side but you pay for what you get and it's money well spent at Brasada! read more

My husband and I celebrated my 30th birthday with a 6 day stay at Brasada Ranch. We live in San Antonio, Texas and had never visited Oregon before. I am going to be honest, this trip was a shot in the dark. I found Brasada Ranch on Groupon, and with a leap of faith booked a week in November. Our gamble really paid off! Brasada Ranch was incredible. Powell Butte, OR is easily the most beautiful place we've ever visited. We stayed in a Ranch House suite, and had the most beautiful view from our balcony/windows. A bottle of Pinot Grigio was waiting for us, with a hand written note wishing me a Happy 30th Birthday! The best features in our suite: the gas fireplace that kept us nice and toasty in the cold weather, and the beautiful bathroom. I loved the barn door that opened up in the bathroom so I could take a bath and watch the sunset! The bathtub was really nice and deep too. The service at the hotel was excellent as well. It was unseasonably cold during our stay (woke up one morning and it was 2 degrees!). That didn't slow us down one bit. As hard as it was to leave our room, we wanted to make the most of our trip. We spent a lot of time in the Ranch House restaurant (just a short walk downstairs). We ate breakfast there every morning, and the food was 5 stars. Again, the service was awesome. We came to Powell Butte with a planned itinerary, and threw it out the window. Our waitress every morning, made suggestions and we followed them. We went to Deschutes Brewery and Smith Rock Park to name a few. We ate several dinners in Bend, about 30 miles away from Brasada Ranch, and each time we did, we regretted it. To be honest, the food was so much better at the Ranch House, we wish we ate every meal there. The beer was worth the drive though ;) and I definitely recommend Deschutes beer! A couple other things I loved about Brasada Ranch: a 2 hour trail ride we went on (our guide was awesome), and feeding their horses carrots every morning. I'm a big animal lover, and brought a big bag of carrots with me. I've been on many trail rides in Texas, but the trail ride on the ranch was the best , and most professional ride I've been on. Well worth every penny! BTW, it was about 14 degrees on our trail ride. But it was just the 3 of us (my husband, me and the guide) which made it so special. I will book two next trip, one ride just wasn't enough. We are already planning our next trip! We're planning a 5 yr anniversary trip in September of 2016. Next time we want to take advantage of swimming in their beautiful pool, hot tub, and golf. We also want to enjoy their camp fire!! September should be a better month for that. Some tips: fly into the Redmond airport if you're from out of state (we made the mistake of flying into and out of Portland), definitely rent a car, there is so much exploring/hiking to do within driving distance, stay in the Ranch House, and eat at their restaurant as much as you can! You won't regret it. We cannot wait to go back, and joke that when we win the lottery, we will buy a house on Brasada Ranch...they do have cabins for sale there;) read more

Oh, how I wish we could have stayed a few days longer at Brasada Ranch. My new husband and I recently stayed here for 2 nights as a quick "honeymoon getaway" right after our wedding, but before our ACTUAL honeymoon in Maui in October. We stayed in a suite and it was super comfortable and had everything we needed. The one gripe I had with the room was the stand-up shower with the shower head you could move up or down. There was NO WAY you could position the showerhead so that it wasn't spraying DIRECTLY in your face. With very little room in the shower itself, it needed to be able to tilt downward more. We spent as much time at the pool as weather would allow - it was a bummer the pool bar closed so early on weekdays, as we would have liked to keep ordering drinks after the 5PM close. The pools were great, though, very aesthetically pleasing and the water was the perfect temperature. There were plenty of lounge chairs and umbrellas for everyone. It was nice to have two separate pools since the kids tended to stick to the pool with the water slide and the other pool could be more for the adults. We don't often splurge on room service, but we figured we would since we were on our honeymoon. On our second day, we called down to the front desk requesting a specific beer they had at the [now closed] pool bar. None of the other [open] restaurants served that particular beer, but an employee ran over to the pool bar and opened up their cooler to grab us a 6-pack. We paid out the nose for that 6-pack, but hey, it was worth it! Great customer service. We look forward to returning soon and bringing our pup! read more

My husband and I have been coming to Brasada since Jeld-Wen ownership. We've stayed in the cabins, the hotel and the new bungalows. With the exception of the new bungalows the cabins and the hotel are sadly showing their age and lack of upkeep. Our cabin out dated and worn...from the furniture to the bathroom, kitchen, the deck and the hot tub. The interior is clean but the outside is dusty and dirty. The door mats are filthy and the door thresholds covered in cobwebs which we cleaned ourselves. The hot tub is clean but again worn and sad. We went for dinner at the Ranch House; very spendy for two drinks each and a burger each. It was an excellent burger but not worth it given the atmosphere and the attitudes. They also did not have some items on the menu...at the beginning of dinner service...weird. We are not playing golf this stay but prior stays we have played and the golf course was pristine. From our cabin we can see a fairway and it looks very rough. Not sure what's going on here at Brasada but in our minds they are slipping and staying here is pricey, so probably won't come back, we'll spend our dollars elsewhere which is very sad for us. read more

We live nearby and like to support locally. We always felt welcomed and enjoyed our time there until now... We were hoping to have a few cocktails and watch the sunset outside. Stopped by the bar to get a few cocktails. Lady waitressing rudely insisted on a mask. Let her know we just wanted some outdoor drinks. She insisted we need reservations and ignored us when we sat outside. Sad because it used to be a welcoming place. Not sure we will be back. read more

Ok, so this was our Bend stop on a recent family road trip. Me, wife, and three kids. They should change the name to Bringalada Ranch. As in bring a lotta cash. A stay here will cost you. Nice place, though. We stayed her for two nights in mid August. Our cabin was very nice. Clean, roomy, well appointed. Designated close by parking space in a covered carport. Had a full kitchen which we usually need with three kids, but didn't have time to fully use it. Brasada is a golf resort, so it comes with the usual features you would expect. Decent restaurant, activity center, kids stuff, nice pool area with bar. We were told by staff that Bend is only 15 minutes away. That may be true if you're using the absolute closest geographical point on Bend's outskirts. It took us probably a good 30 minutes to get to downtown. The pool area is nice with a kid slide on one end. Plenty of seating and a separate lap pool. There is also mens and womens locker rooms. You can sign up for activities such as horseback riding, fishing, bike rentals. Activity center has ping pong, video games, movies, etc. They have a small convenience store on sight as well. You can even rent a golf cart to tool around in during your stay. Nice place. Expensive, but a good place to stay outside of Bend. read more

Brasada Ranch is sadly tolerant of homophobia, racism, and promoting an exclusive environment for only a select few of its patrons. My husband and I had two very uncomfortable experiences at the pool during our stay. First was a group loudly and repeatedly using the f-slur. Second was a man demanding that the six people using the pool area all be subjected to his music being blasted from the pool speakers on a Monday morning. I asked the lifeguard to turn the volume down, which he kindly did. The man promptly made him turn it back up. My husband, who is Middle Eastern, asked why it was a problem to turn the volume down -- the man (white boomer) said "Are YOU a member? I've been a member for SEVEN YEARS." My husband said "No, I'm a paying guest. Does that make me a second-class citizen?" White boomer failed to reply. The lifeguard took the member's side and privately approached him after the conversation to apologize, introduce himself and **thank him for "showing him the ropes"**. We, as mere paying guests, got no such introduction. Ick. read more

My husband and I went here for our anniversary trip. I asked my friends for recommendation for a place to go and this one was mentioned several times. The place is pricey so I wasn't sure we would be able to come. But it ended up working out. We stayed in a one room cabin. It was absolutely amazing. I wanted to move in. We had a living room with leather couches, a dinning area, a large porch with a gas grill, a powder room, washer and dryer, large walk in shower, and soaking tub. Way swank. The only drawback to the one bedroom cabin was that it had bedrooms attached to it that other people could rent. While they couldn't get into the main area, I knew they could hear everything we were doing, I could hear when they opened drawers or took a shower. This would be a great place for a company retreat or a wedding.Also great for families that want to rent an entire cabin. They also have some suits that are not in a cabin but I didn't get to see those. Another drawback is the restaurant situation. During the slow season, they only have one real restaurant open. The menu changes and isn't posted online. We asked to the menu before deciding if we wanted dinner. The menu was very limited and too expensive for the options. I would come back for sure. read more

Brasada Ranch provides a relaxing and fun time whether you're traveling solo or with a family. All the staff provided great service and I have wonderful memories of my time here. I stayed in one of the suites and the view was amazing. A highlight of my trip was horseback riding with my guide Garan. He was friendly and had a lot of knowledge about the area. My horse Scout was gentle and it was an incredible experience. I will definitely do this again! Another highlight is the best facial I've had in years at the Spa with Amanda. It was so relaxing and my face looked great afterwards. read more

Sadly we have been visiting Brasada over 12 years but this last year we were disappointed. There seems to be new management and the service was very poor. Chips and salsa took over an hour and now at the bar they deliver drinks so it took 35 mins to get one drink. They changed the fitness center rules so you must be over 16 when actual gym membership is only 14. We have a 14 year old that is an athlete and even when accompanied by both of us is not allowed in the fitness center. We will likely not be returning again and will find a resort that offer better service and amenities for families. I hope Brasada improves their experience for guests as it is sad to have to leave after many years but it has gone very downhill. read more

Our family had the greatest time at Brasada Ranch over the Christmas break. We rented a three bedroom cabin and were quite impressed with the property maintenance, cabin furnishings, and staff members! Spending time at the ranch definitely gives you time to enjoy life at a slower pace- something we all need once in a while. They have a wide array of amenities that I am sure are wonderful to experience in the warmer months. Their indoor/outdoor pool, gym, and restaurant were great! We enjoyed the outdoor hot tub at our cabin and loved feeding the horses on Christmas morning. Every single staff member we came in contact with was genuinely kind and positive. We can't wait to come back to experience more of what Brasada has to offer! read more

Our family has spent tens of thousands of dollars here over the past 3 years, only to be spat on by management over a $175 golf dispute, where they were obviously in the wrong but wouldn't (and still won't) admit it. They were given so many chances to make this right, but it seems like they don't care about returning customers. They've permanently lost our business and I advise others to steer clear of this "resort". read more

Oh my gosh!!!! What an amazing experience! My husband and I were there for the weekend and the suite absolutely beautiful! Every bite of food was delicious! The view was spectacular! Tianni Johnson the event planning manager put this all together and there was no stone left unturned! I had the best pedicure ever! Please ask for Kaitlyn! The best. We will be back in the summer with our family to enjoy all of the amenities! read more

I was very pleasantly surprised. Only 3 hours from Portland. Nice for a weekend or weeklong vacation close to home. The weather is a bit drier and warmer than Portland (at least in Spring/summer/fall). The views are amazing. You're looking at the snow-capped mountains everywhere you go. They have 1-3 room cabins. I would rate on the more luxurious end. Washer, dryer, full kitchen, with all the needed utensils, pots/pans, etc. Some even have an outdoor hottub. Golf course is supposedly decent. They have an athletic club with indoor/outdoor pools. Toddler pool. Decent gym. Teenager hangout area with video games, ping pong, air hockey, foos ball, and a small rotating climbing wall. They have a few ponds stocked with large mouth bass, crappie, and bluegills. Equestrian riding center. Tons of biking and hiking in close vicinity. I only wish Bend was a bit closer. Other than that I would love to be back. Great family place. They had a small wedding there and it didn't seem crowded at all. read more

Paul and I just enjoyed Christmas breakfast at Brasada Ranch, and boy were we glad they were open today! Our server, Tim, was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere could not have been better. Sipping hot tea while gazing at the Cascade Mountains felt like an amazing dream. Paul had a waffle with some scrambled eggs on the side, and I had the biscuits and gravy. We shared a fruit bowl to ease our guilt about the otherwise indulgent meal. Everything tasted good. Thanks to the folks at Brasada Ranch for helping us start Christmas off on a high note! read more

My wife and I came here for a weekend getaway for our anniversary, and I loved every minute of our time here at Brasada Ranch! The food was amazing, the suit was romantic (the staff left us a sweet anniversary note, a bath bomb, and a bottle of wine to say congratulations and enjoy!), and the scenery was breathtaking! We enjoyed massages and facials at the spa, and enjoyed brunch at the Ranch House, excellent dinner at the Range and we loved it so much we are going to make this our anniversary destination. I will come here as often as possible! read more

We had dinner last night at the Range Restaurant. Big mistake, my wife ordered the Dungeness Crab Roll, and I ordered the Mushroom Carbonara. My wife received a spoonful of crab meat in mayonnaise on a hot dog bun, seriously! But the winner was my Carbonara, I received a plate of over cooked ziti, in a ragu (right from the bottle) sauce with mushrooms. Holy cow, how can this place stay in business. Never again. read more

I went to have get a facial. I was regrettably about an hour late. At the same time, they got me in & still gave me the best service to their ability's. Erin gave me an amazing facial.

I will preface my review that our stay was during Covid lock down. We were very thankful the resort was open and that we had somewhere to escape. Given that Conde de Nast rated this property as #1 in the NW, I had expected exceptional service at the minimum. Especially since most of activities were cancelled as well as housekeeping. Covid has made everything different, but I did not experience the level of hospitality I have at other 4 star resorts. Given the fact that occupancy is down, it would seem that they would over pamper the guest that were on property. The staff in the grocery store and the restaurant were a bit gruf and not too friendly and trying to coordinate with the he athletic center was challenging. We asked for an extra bottle of complementary wine, and the front desk staff had to go ask her manager quietly who was sitting within earshot. It was uncomfortable and it could have been an opportunity for the manager to come out and ask how our stay. The staff had not been trained to say yes to guest wants and needs without without hesitation. Never did they text or call to ask if we needed any more waters or towels. They only text each morning to see if we had Covid Symptoms. We had to call and ask what to do with the take out boxes that our expensive food came in. We were given some place settings and a little folding table to make eating in the room a little easier. The food was actually very good and the property itself was picturesque with panoramic views of the mountains. Our very quiet room was large and the bed was comfortable. I might try staying at the cabins in the summer with hopes that things will improve over time. Covid has everything not the same so I will hope for a better stay again in the future. read more

My girl took myself and another couple there for my birthday dinner. Service was very good. The food however was very sub par. I had Braised Short ribs that was nothing more than a boneless piece of Pot Roast, with zero seasoning or flavor. My girl had potatoes leak soup which was cold and had a film on the top as though it had been sitting for a while. The other couple had a Filet that was under seasoned and the sides were Luke warm. For a high end resort and restaurant as it is billed, the only thing high end was the Price! Very dissatisfied. We won't be back. read more

We stayed at Brasada Ranch earlier this year. We usually stay in Bend and pondered how well we'd like staying someplace out of town. We're glad we chose to stay at Brasada Ranch. We ate at the onsite restaurants (great food and beverages), did a sunset horseback ride (we can't wait to take the nieces and nephews to do the ride), enjoyed great views of the Cascades, and loved the peace and quiet. We'll be back!! read more

My group has been here at Brasada in a sage cabin for less than one day. So far our service has been bad at every turn. Check in was bad. Restaurant service was bad. Maintenance to fix a burned out light was bad. The only competent person we have encountered so far was the lady at concierge desk. Everyone seems kind of disconnected from the idea of service. Nothing but vague excuses, such as: oh the kitchen missed that; we Start check in at 4pm, you don't necessarily get your room at 4; we were supposed to call when your room was ready? Well Sometimes we have a bad connection to the pool area; maintenance man didn't show? He probably probably went to see if we have the right light bulb. Geez I worry what will happen on day 2!! Update: Food and Bev director was extremely gracious in addressing our issues around his organization. We are very impressed and more inclined to recommend the resort. It is a lovely setting. (Hopefully desk personnel will pay more attention) read more

We live near Brasada and love to go here for the atmosphere. It would be even better if the food was more consistently good and they changed out their menu a little more often. The serving staff seems to be a constant revolving door, maybe that's good thing because they have been pretty terrible the past couple of visits. My husband and I went to Brasada last night again and we finally had an absolutely amazing server, I wish I would have captured her name but she was super sweet and attentive, curly light brown hair and a big smile. The Mac N Cheese is always great, my husband had the steak dip sammie and fries. Sammie was awesome fries were terrible. Wine list is awesome! read more

So we just got back from a 3 night stay at the Brasada. I'll start with a good and get to the bad. THE GOOD: We made our reservations (during the week) very far in advance for a spa get away. The time was inching closer so we decided to book our spa services - come to find out the spa is only open Fri-Sun due to construction. We weren't notified and that was a bummer. Kacy from Brasada went above and beyond to make sure that everything was okay. Make special accommodations for us. Suggested wonderful activities for us and was ultimately the savior of the trip. He was great - someone should give that guy a raise. We went on a two our horseback ride that was one of the highlights of the trip. The cabin we stayed in exceeded our expectations and was truly wonderful. THE BAD: The spa. The spa was just an awful experience all around. We were the first to arrive for treatments and for whatever reason the woman manning the front desk could not get my mother's name (Cheryl) right. She called her multiple things - non of which was Cheryl. I couldn't understand why as we had booked our services with our names and filled out paperwork with our names. The treatments themselves were soso. My mom had the 60 minute signature massage & 90 minute hydration facial. I had the signature 60 minute facial and 90 minute deep tissue. Nothing stood out as being anything special. The space itself is not sound proof. So they have weddings often and loud bridal parties (totally understandable) but you can hear their chatter and laughing in the rooms where the other treatments are being given. It's no longer relaxing. I often found myself feeling more uncomfortable than not. So we get done with it and decided to cut our losses. Pay and leave a 20% tip despite the less than amazing experience. The front desk person still could not get my mother's name right. $800 later - and she couldn't look down to try to be personable. And to add insult to injury - apologized for our original spa debacle after the services and payment. IDK - after everything else I expected better. tl;dr: The resort itself is amazing. Kacy is a badass customer service rockstar. The spa sucks -go else where. read more

We loved our stay at Brasada! The cabin was immaculate and so cozy and well appointed. We had a beautiful view of Mt Hood and the Powell Butte surroundings. Although other cabins are quite close it still felt very private and we were not able to see or hear other guests while in the cabin. The covered parking was nice too especially in the snow. The casual restaurant was good but not great. Service was super slow, but we have come to expect that in slower resort communities; it's not city life and service standards are different. That being said, one meal we waited an hour for our food. The service staff and manager were MORE than accommodating and offered us discounts, freebies and kindness throughout. It's hard to complain when staff is that attentive and apparently they were having pizza oven issues; things happen! Dining in the "fine dining" restaurant was a huge disappointment. We paid for the four course dinner associated with the New Years Eve party at Brasada. I couldn't even eat some of it. The ingredients were over finessed; the meal had all the right components but the attention to detail was definitely not "fine dining". I couldn't even eat the foie gras, which is my favorite. Don't waste your money fine dining at Brasada. The kids attended the kids New Years Eve party at the clubhouse. They had a GREAT time and they seemed to have a lot of activities and entertainment. The kids (8 & 10) had a blast! Overall the experience was fabulous! We will definitely be back. The staff couldn't have been nicer and we would only change our dining experiences. Next time we'll cook more in our awesome cabin kitchen! read more
