The majority of their business is focused on guests who are staying at the ranch (many from overseas) who want to go on longer trail rides or an old fashioned cattle drive a la City Slickers. Since we already have a home in the area, we didn't get to take advantage of their hospitality as guests. However, we did visit to enjoy a trail ride. My boys love to ride, but it has been quite difficult finding a trail ride that satisfies all of our needs. We've tried Diane's Riding Place, but they tend to be more instructional. The stables at the Seventh Mountain Resort were only OK. My goal was to get more of an 'authentic' trail ride with a little bit of fun. We were only partially successful. First off, making reservations wasn't terribly easy. After calling the main business line, I was given a second number to dial for the stables. Since the focus is on their ranch guests, they don't seem to be overly eager to take outside riders. Fortunately, some of those guests had another activity planned, so we were able to arrange a ride. It turned out to be semi-private and Katie was a wonderful guide. You will sign a brief liability waiver, and riders must wear jeans and boots. The boots requirement was a first, but fortunately they have plenty to borrow at no charge. Children are also required to wear helmets. The ranch covers 600 acres, so they took a gentle ride up through the hills to enjoy the view of the Three Sisters. It was a good ride, but low on the excitement factor. No cantering or galloping, just an easy mosey up and back. Unlike the prior reviewer, the ride lasted exactly 60 minutes, so no complaints there. It is really disappointing that there aren't more horseback riding options in the area. These hills are filled with ranches, but due to liability concerns, very few open their doors to the public. We still feel like we are searching to find that magical ride. http://www.lhranch.com/index.php

This place was EXACTLY what we were looking for on our way home from our family vacation. We…read morewanted somewhere quiet to lay our heads down, somewhere 'different' than the normal hotel scene, and a place that our kids would remember. The Long Hollow Ranch checked every one of those boxes. We stayed in the Homestead cabin, which had three beds upstairs, and one downstairs. The cabin had two strong window AC units, which were wonderful. The cabin had no TV, which was great, but did have a vintage stove that served as a table top for the in-room microwave. There's also a mini-fridge and a Keurig Coffee Maker. Beds were comfy, bathroom has hot water in the shower, and the decor was fantastic. The morning breakfast was signaled by a good old-fashioned dinner bell at the main house, which is beautiful. There were lots of hash browns, fruit, juice and more. They even offered to cook each of us an egg to order, which our son took advantage of. The breakfast was absolutely great. All in all, this place was well worth the price, which was already much lower than other places on our trip. They even let us dabble with our fly pole in their bass pond free of charge. They accommodated our late check in (10 PM) and even had the AC going when we arrived. Customer service was top notch. This is the definition of a 5 STAR property.

The bath house is large and we could understand with as many people using it on a daily basis, why it takes a couple hours to clean it. Also a laundry in there. We were there during the same time as the previous comment and we saw the camp hosts visit the rowdy campers several times that evening asking them to quiet down. Overall the scenery is beautiful and the campgrounds are clean and well run. Your supposed to be camping when you come here, so who needs cable. Go explore. There is also golf, a pool, tennis, pickle ball, horse shoes, and a large net for volleyball. Also very few camp grounds have water at every tent site. CCR RV does offer a large sink area outside the bath house for cleaning dishes and such. We really enjoyed our time there and will return again. When you talk to others staying in the park they have been coming there for years, so they must be doing something right.

The best part was meeting Toni, who works here. We accidentally ran into her and she was so helpful. Told us what spots we could stay in and gave us some directions on places to eat.

O M G…read more Pretty sure this is the most gorgeous place I've ever camped. And, having spent most of my life camping in the PNW, that is really saying something. Gorge Campground is located near the tiny outpost of Camp Sherman, along the postcard-worthy Metolius River. The campground itself is small, but the sites are large. You need to reserve online at the stroke of midnight on January 1 of each year, and believe me the premium sites along the river fill up FAST. But it's worth it because these sites are ginormous, with plenty of space for a small travel trailer and/or a couple of tents. There's a trail that runs through the campground, and along the river for a few miles in each direction. There are also pit toilets and the area is regularly patrolled by local rangers - so it was all very safe. The beauty and quiet here are too much to describe in a Yelp review. So just pack up your tent and GO. You won't regret it. I can't wait to go back! Pro tip: there is no running water at the campground, so you need to bring what you need. We stopped at the Camp Sherman RV Park and were able to fill our tank with fresh water. Some sites say there is also water at the nearby Allingson Campground, but I was not able to confirm this. Oh, and the Camp Sherman Store has pretty much anything you could possibly need on your trip!

The first review basically says it all, but here's my take…read more Been coming out here to the camp Sherman area since childhood, and it never disappoints. Getting a spot out here is hard, so book right when they open reservations. We got two spots, the premium river and one just down the way, and they are big. Lots of space for trailer or 2-3 tents and cars. Nice fire pits and very clean restroom (gender neutral), which I like for many reasons, but the most practical is, you don't have to wait, if not comfortable. People are very respectful here, didn't hear a generator at night--which is very nice, and like many campgrounds, you can feel secure leaving for hours and all your gear is safe, but may get investigated by ground squirrels (see pic). The river is beautiful and it's so fun watching the fisherman. If you'd like to hike, there's a trail along the river to Wizard Falls or the other way as well, but keep in mind, it's a little confusing with the large resort near by, that you can't cross, (if going down stream) signage isn't the best and the drop is steep. The camp store is very close and a nice Mexican/Peruvian place to eat at, if you'd like to have a meal away from camp. There is no water at the campsite, but the two down the road have running water to fill your cubes or bottles, or as mentioned, the camp store. This is a very special place, and I hope more people discover and enjoy it.

I stay at hotels mainly for work so I typically just keep with the big names so I can keep a MVP status for perks like early or late check-in / out. I'm closing in on one of the lifetime MVP statuses and hotels were sold out in Redmond, so I booked a room here as BH was almost $100 more. This is a very basic hotel. I will say service is very friendly here and the breakfast is above average. The only morning I was here, they served pork sausage links, house potatoes, tortillas, salsa, cheese and scrambled eggs. The difference is that the eggs here are real vs the weirdly wet and tasteless reconstituted stuff they serve at the big chains. A couple made 2 extra pancakes and didn't want to waste them, so I took them. Kind of tough but good flavor. They also have cereal + milk, yogurt, toast, bagels, Otis Spunkmeyer wrapped muffins and hard-boiled eggs if you're on the run. The rooms are solid but basic. I got a good night's sleep on the king bed. I made use of the microwave for some pasta and kept my chicken from Oliver Lemon in the mini fridge for road snacks. However, if you have a lot of technology, the work desk has no power other than the wall outlet and neither the bed nor the work desk has any USB for your devices. Bring adapters! The other factor that kept my review modest was the big one. The wifi was free but very weak. My devices kept disconnecting and doing anything including just updating my browser required patience. If this place makes sense for my budget I'd stay here again, but I think I'll just keep trying different hotels in the area just to see what's there outside the world of Hilton and Marriott.
