It's possible to travel just 3 hours and feel like you're in another world. When we booked our…read moreadventure over the phone, Susan asked about our riding experience, any food sensitivities and how much we wanted to dive in with the ranch experience. When we arrived, Susan came out of the house to welcome us and showed us our cabin (which they just finished last year). I wanted every experience the ranch had to offer and Tim and Susan did not disappoint. From waking up at sunrise to feed the horses, to witnessing the birth of a calf (they didn't have control over that but a total bonus), fixing fences, riding all day, cattle pushing, taking care of the horses, riding in the back of a truck after a long day, taking care of calves, glorious sunrises and sets, magnificent landscape to wonderful home cooked meals. We would swap stories at the table as I stuffed my mouth with biscuits, steak and homemade jam. I would watch the day break from the loft in our cabin. There was something so comforting and so right to put on the same pair of dusty jeans and boots as I got ready to tackle the day. I never once felt stupid for still not grasping how to cinch my horse by the third day or accidentally splitting up a herd during a push down the mountain. Susan made sure she snapped a photo or got a video during our glory moments. We were all treated like family and it was hard to say goodbye when the time came. Your adventure will be worth every penny, every sore butt and dusty face. In my 43 years next to my daughter's birth, this was the greatest moment of my life. My soul was alive the whole week and have found my calling after my daughter flys the coop. There is no better place to heal the soul than on the back of a horse.

Suz and Tim are wonderful hosts! There was a welcome sign…read moreon the porch which made us feel right at home. My sweetie had scheduled us for a two hour horse back ride but I've never ridden. The original destination seemed a bit daunting, so we spent some time in the Arena letting me get used to the feel of the horse and learning how to "drive" her, so to speak. I was a little embarrassed, but neither of these horse pro's made me feel anything less than fine. They kept telling me how good i was getting and that they saw me go from tense to comfortable in the short time we were on horseback. I'd love to see them again and I think I would like go on horseback again.... I'm so thankful for their patience and hospitality.

I ventured out to the Alvord Desert to experience Land Sailing with my husband and friends. Since…read morecamping in the dust did not appeal to us ladies, we decided to take it up a notch and stay at the Steens Country Cabin. I really can't say enough good things about this place. The pictures do not do it justice. The 'cabin' is clean and comfortable. There is plenty of room for 4 guests. The kitchen has everything you need. It was so nice to come back from a day on the playa and take a nice hot shower and have a nice BBQ dinner. Bring enough food because the nearest grocery store is in about 120 miles away. A word to the 'City' folk (like us), this is rural Oregon. The locals out here are honest, friendly people. If you want a good experience, treat them (as you should with everyone) with respect, courtesy and honesty. At the end of the day the real plus was getting to know the owners, John, Cheryl and their two dogs. They are very welcoming and know the area very well.

It was nice to come back from a long day of hunting to an air conditioned cabin. The cabin was fully stocked with everything we could possibly need. Nice sized kitchen and the bedrooms were huge! The location couldn't be better, stepped outside and the Steen were right there and gorgeous. Well maintained area. Even though the cabin isn't quite a real "cabin", you wouldn't even know it when you stepped in. Such a great place. The owners were extremely nice and accommodating. They made sure we had anything we needed and they were very friendly! They had two dogs who are too cute for words. Highly recommend staying there, it's worth the trip!

LONG STORY BELOW. BEWARE!…read more THE OWNER OF ASURENT, LISA PETRINI, THREATENED ME FOR MY HONEST REVIEW! I slightly revised this review, today April 29, 2026 as a few problems were resolved on April 28th. Lisa, I investigated the law and you have nothing on me. This is protected speech. Have your lawyer check the S.L.A.P.P. law. I'm retired and I'll be happy to go to Medford several times to see you in court. There will be no arbitration on your efforts to stop me from exercising my First Amendment rights. Our experience has involved serious issues with financial handling, communication, and decision-making. The owner, Lisa, withheld over $500 from our owner disbursement, claiming an unpaid utility bill with the City of Ashland. This claim is incorrect. I contacted the City directly and received written confirmation that somebody (I thought it was the tenants, but, Lisa said it wasn't) established their own service, our account is fully paid, and the landlord account was closed. I emailed the city's communication to Lisa. Despite this, Lisa refused to acknowledge the City's confirmation and continued to claim she did not received a response from them. SERIOUSLY BAD NEWS REGARDING UTILITIES. TENANTS BEWARE!!! Added tonight on April 29, 2026 - The City of Ashland emailed me. Lisa Petrini, owner of Asurent, closed the utilities account for the property and left the tenants without utilities, including electricity, water, sewer, and other city services. The missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors were photo documented during the original walk through with the staff of Asurent Property Management. See below for the response I received from Lisa Petrini. The original review was dated April 24, 2026. On April 28, 2026 Lisa threatened me for the review. I revised the review on April 29, 2026. We were also informed that tenants reported a gas smell--an issue that should be treated as an emergency. I immediately directed our contractor and Jahnke (HVAC) to inspect for a potential gas leak, as Asurent indicated it may be related to the HVAC system. Asurent then stated that the gas company had already responded and shut off the service. However, when our contractor and Jahnke arrived, the gas was on, and no leak could be detected using their equipment. During this same discussion and following threats, Lisa claimed that required smoke and carbon monoxide detectors were not present. This is highly questionable. The home was fully remodeled prior to engaging Asurent, and all required detectors were installed. Asurent also completed an initial walkthrough with us at that time. Given the inconsistencies already noted, this claim raises further concerns. Lisa claims she has the walk through documents stating that there are missing detectors. I ASKED HER FOR THE WALK THROUGH DOCUMENTS IN ORDER TO ENSURE THE DETECTORS WERE NOT PRESENT. SHE HAS NOT PROVIDED ME WITH THESE DOCUMENTS. We've experienced holds on our net proceeds (deposits minus expenses) that were not released until my threats were issued. See above about the threats from the property manager. We have encountered inconsistent information in regards to utilities, expenses and repairs. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this company to other property owners.

Dark sky with amazing Milky Way arc across the sky.... Incredible views and wildlife.... AND overnight EV charging: Nema 6-50 & Nema 14-50 240V outlets are both available in addition to two Tesla destination chargers. The Tesla chargers did not work with our 2026 Ioniq 9 , and the Nema 6-50 was not compatible with our plug. So Russ (an electrician with a barn full of parts) installed a 14-50 outlet that worked normally with our plug-in level 2 charger that we had along just in case.
