A back area green-space for all to wind-down in and converse, an imaginative playground too. It's a real small RV park, 20/ night. $80/ week - prices reflect that in there is no laundry or bathroom/showers- You must be a self contained unit., and the pull throughs are drive-throughs nothing fancy. Gravel, level. A good stop in between long distances . If just looking for dump station @ $5 Exact cash, can put in black mailbox . High desert sunsets and west 20 miles from the Forest, or a reservoir to the East Call 541 576-2379 for Elaine The Cowboy Dinner Tree is reservations only it close . And the Silver Lake cafe/restaurant down has street with very good family food locally. The Mercantile store ( old-timey ) is in walking distance and has local meats, drinks and marshmallows. Very low key. Some folks have decided to stay longer. I'm staying for the summer

Lakeside Restaurant and Motel met and exceeded my expectations! The room was clean and very nicely…read moredecorated. The beds and linens very fresh and clean. It was nice being able to watch a movie (they have DirectTV!) after a week of camping in Grand Teton and Yellowstone. The restaurant was also cute, food was excellent, and wait staff was very attentive and friendly. We had breakfast, country fried steak/eggs and an omelette...both dishes were amazing! I highly recommend staying and enjoying a meal here!

This is NOT the motel to stay out if you just need to sleep for the night. The lighting is…read moreabsolutely atrocious; it's a mystery how they haven't been sued for someone falling down and breaking their neck trying to find the room. Sure motion lights are up, but they don't trigger until it's too late. Furthermore in the dark trying to leave with a big rig good luck finding your way out. No lights no signs to help you. Oh well I was stuck out in the desert alone for under an hour no biggy. Sarcasm. This was absolutely the very worst stay of my lifetime, and I would sleep in a car before ever returning to your "self serve" check in/out motel. Horrendous!

Adjacent to BLM land to hike right from your campsite, too. No city lights and was a excellent place for stargazing, too.

Mathew the young man who was working in the office and serving the tables was great. I don't remember what we had for dinner the first night but the second night we both had the chicken fried steak and it was really good. We also had breakfast there the morning we checked out and it was really good also. We will be back again in the fall.

The Lodge is both a lodge and a restaurant of the same name. This review is for the restaurant…read more There are few options for dining in the Summer Lake area. If not The Lodge, you're looking at driving to Paisley or Christmas Valley. Possibly Silver Lake if the cafe is open. We often stay at The Playa Art and Science residency compound located to the south on the edge of Summer Lake but had never before dined at The Lodge. Won't be the last time, I think. - Cozy dining room with a small attached gift shop. No loud music. - Smallish menu with nevertheless a good range of 'comfort food' choices. Steak, chicken, chicken-fried steak, burgers, salmon, fish & chips, salads, etc. - Beer and wine are available. The four of us had: - chicken breast with white sauce - fish & chips - chicken-fried steak - salmon. All were quite good except for the fish & chips which was a bit off and was replaced with a burger (local beef). Side salads, mashed potato sides were ok too. The side vegetables were a bit bland but not bad. They have a few desserts too. Brownie sundae (or sundae brownie, I forget) is delicious and decadent. Brownies, ice cream, whipped cream. I could have this as the main course. I thought the peach pie was solid too but that style pie isn't my favorite. Service is very friendly, efficient. They were quite reasonable about replacing the fish & chips with a burger (it happens - I don't subtract marks for the fish not being the freshest this one time). Reasonable prices too. Recommended, even were it not one of very few options nearby.

I was there many yrs ago & met the owner who's a friend of a friend of ours & I absolutely fell in…read morelove with the place! The owner really impressed me with her ability to take care of her park & adorable little store! She's a very, very nice lady & had the pleasure of getting to know her. At the time of year we were there it was just the beginning of Spring & not to many people yet but as soon as the weather begins to get warmer, her campground fills up quite quickly & especially when they have the MCC riders flow through that's the place where they come & stay & it's the beginning of the No Vacancy sign to go up. I just loved the scenery & atmosphere around the whole park. Wonderful for families as well! So as far as I'm concerned I give her ranch a 5 star rating! You'll just have to make it one of your go to places if you're traveling through the area. A great focal point is to check out Fort Rock & the surrounding areas. Beautiful!

He wasn't sure he'd be able to get it cleaned in time for our arrival (another group was leaving the day of our check-in), "...but I'll sure try!", he said.

LOL The rooms are always clean, the staff is very friendly, they treat you like family. It's like going camping with all the amenities of home; microwave, coffee pot, nice showers, comfortable beds, and you get to meet all sorts of interesting people from all over the world. Yes, Christmas Valley is like a "hole in the ground" or a "crack in the ground". Out in the middle of nowhere. Yet, you get to see the "Crack in the Ground" at Christmas Valley and "Hole-in-the-round" near LaPine, OR. Crack in the Ground is a volcanic fissure over two miles (3 km) long and up to 70 feet (21 m) deep in central Oregon, United States. [1] Hole-in-the-Ground is a large maar (explosion crater) in the Fort Rock Basin of Lake County, central Oregon. [2] Fort Rock is 40 minutes; 30.94 miles away. What an awesome view. A lot of history at this site. Don't forget to stop by Santa's Workshop. Yes, there is a "Santa's Workshop", anyways there was the last time I spoke w/ the owner/manager. That was last year 2013 during the winter when he made a trip over to Roseburg during a snow storm. They have a little bit of everything there; even Aloe Vera Gel for us people that forget we are actually in the desert and yes you will get a sunburn if you are not careful. Hopefully, I get a room for this weekend. I am going to see my son and his girlfriend. It's my son's birthday and I really miss him. (Poor feller', he was born on 9/11 ('85) but it's still a moment that will always touch my heart no matter what year it is. GO USA!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;0 ) After a long day of seeing the sights, it sure is relaxing to have a nice hot shower, great ambiance, and a clean, comfortable bed to lie down on. It's even better than the Motel 6. The Desert Inn Motel will leave the light on for you also. {Sorry Motel 6, :0 ( but these people have you beat hands down.} Just my opinion of course. Hope to see you there. ;0 } Rosanna G. - Roseburg, OR References[edit] 1.Jump up ^ "Crack In The Ground". Fort Rock Museum. Retrieved 2007-12-02. 2.Jump up ^ "Hole-in-the-Ground".
