Where to begin...this place is amazing in so many ways! We stayed for 3 snowy days in February with 3 kids under 6. We woke up in the morning to watch goats being milked, play with ducks and dogs, then collect eggs. There were great sledding hills and so much space to run around. The farm dogs liked to sleep on our front porch and would follow the kids when they played outside, which gave us some comfort. We stayed in the Meadow House and quickly learned how to live "off the grid". It was comfortable but beware, the floors are thin (so heat can move upstairs) and you can hear everything. We had all the comforts we needed (fridge, stove, washer/dryer, wi-fi) to enjoy family time. Tending the wood-burning furnace was kind of fun as was learning how to use the generator. The staff at the farm were the kindest people, answering all of my sons gazillion questions and letting us spend time with the farm animals. If you are lucky enough to get up to the farm, even for a day trip, make sure you say hi to Tim and Robbie! We cannot wait to return, maybe during summer this time! read more

This is the place you go to get a sense of Oregon's full beauty and peace. The lodgings were divine and comfortable. Rustic but still chic. The owner was very kind and helpful when we struggled to figure out how to work the woodstove without getting smoke everywhere. Beautiful scenery and comfortable lodging. It is on the pricey side, so certainly a splurge. But you won't walk away disappointed. read more

Was a beautiful place to hold the wedding. It is high on a mountain. It opens up to meadows in valleys. The people are wonderful. Our camp host, Emily was very helpful and right there when needed. The commercial kitchen had everything we needed. Clean and well appointed. We stayed in Meadow House. It is a beautiful farm house. They owner brought us eggs, fresh goat milk, and butter. We were able to watch Sandhill Cranes, a doe, with 2 tiny fawns, other deer. Go see baby goats,19 in all. Baby pigs. I would go there again, just to relax. read more

Willow-Witt Ranch - This is looking out a bedroom window at Willow Witt. - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Ashland, Oregon

"We were in awe of the amenities that have spoiled us for any future camping!" I am almost afraid to post this review for fear that their won't be enough availability when we go back. And we will be driving back as often as we can from Portland 5 hours north. And the owners and camp hosts all went out of their way to keep the spaces clean, fresh and stocked (they took out trash and recyclables 2-3 times we were there in 4 days). My family are seasoned campers from forests to the sea, so we have the packing and prep down. But I barely needed to do any prep for Willow-Witt! We only needed our tent, sleeping bags, toiletries and food - everything else was provided (including hot showers in or outdoors and a vast and fully-stocked outdoor kitchen). Some of the families in our group, were were first time campers- and what a stellar time they had! You get the best of both worlds! A gorgeous backdrop of nature to experience: trails that meander through forest, meadow and wetlands and a working dairy and veg/fruit farm where my kids got to pet and bottle feed the baby goats as well as enjoy their mild-mannered dogs, chickens, geese and ducks roaming about. We shared fabulous meals together and even though there are no fire pits, the wood fire stove offered the same late night draw to pull chairs around and a place for the kids to safely roast marshmallows and make s'mores. The amenities go in beyond the double kitchen and three farm tables for meals; there are coolers and ice; an on-site farm store with fresh milk, eggs, bacon, bread and essentials; 10 recharged large camp lanterns; soacious his and hers enclosed modern bathrooms each with a shower, two stalls, and large double sink and mirrors and storage for toiletries. They really thought of Everything! My favorite was taking a hot outdoor shower on the other side of camp overlooking the meadow. I felt like I was in a dream (or commercial) with the view and gentle breezes and the white billowing cotton curtains (which offered total privacy). Our group went to a total of 4 Shakespeare plays in town as well as romped at Emigrant lake (each 20- 25 minutes from Willow-Ranch). At Emigrant lake we swam, rented kayaks and paddle boards and - get this went on water slides (there is a two slide waterpark 300 yards from where we played and paddled in the lake). Willow-Witt attracts the best patrons (and employees). With great lounging areas (sheltered farm tables, picnic tables and other chairs and tables about; and a kitchen that has everything (they even had gluten-free flour for baking biscuits), everyone staying, acquainted or not, intermingled like one large group sharing highlights of our days and favorite places to travel. Like I said, we will be back as often as we can. Oh, and did I mention I was greeted by a speckled fawn on a morning walk on one of their trails? Last tip: print out a copy of their directions from the website - Not all the Map Apps agree on how to get there and you cell reception gets spotty as you rise to 5,000 feet elevation. Bonus to that elevation: poison oak doesn't grow there and it is perfectly pleasant when Ashland was 95 degrees. read more

I took my family to visit for the day and it was wonderful. The staff was incredibly friendly and went out of their way to show us around. My 2-year-old son LOVED meeting the goats! Next time I plan to stay the night and enjoy the wide-open country air. read more

this place was amazing. me and my partner were looking for things to do in ashland as we are visiting from monterey. goats are my favorite animal so when i saw this place and saw you can literally go hang out with like a dozen of baby goats i got so excited. it is super chill and the people there were so nice. we are hoping to come back before our trip ends They didn't charge anything for this so make sure if you go you donate! they suggested at least $10 per car but probably do more because this place is amazing. read more

Willow-Witt Ranch - look at this cutie - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Ashland, Oregon

Peaceful, beautiful surroundings made our stay in the Farmhouse Studio beyond exceptional. The studio itself is cozy, beautifully appointed, and just the right spot to rest and refresh ourselves after a day spent walking this gorgeous property. The kitchen is well stocked with essentials (olive oil, flour, many spices, soy sauce etc) as well as farm fresh eggs, butter, and maybe even some veggies. The Farm Store a few steps away has lots of additional items to enhance your meals. The cooking equipment is high quality and very helpful. Coffee options include drip and French press, for instance! We slept like babies in the VERY comfy bed in the loft. The bathroom (on the first floor) is simple and elegant. Lovely shower, gorgeous fluffy towels. Oh, by the way, electricity (solar) and WiFi (satellite) are reliable and excellent. So...you are off the grid, away from civilization...and feel perfectly civilized. The deck outside the studio has a table and chairs with a big umbrella...fabulous for al fresco dining. Give yourself the gift of a regenerative stay at this beautiful farm. read more

This is not our first time glamping (staying in a wall tent) but what surprised us the most about this campground is not how beautiful the setting was but the comfortability of the campsite set up. As you park you see the bathhouse and the kitchen house. Most of the sites we have stayed at do not have a common kitchen. Which means you have to bring your own cooking equipment and utensils. This is not the case at Willow-Witt Ranch Camp. In the kitchen house you will find everything that you need. You'll even find coolers if you forgot to bring your own. The bathhouse has hot running water and flushing toilets. Towels are included as well. But if you would like to take a shower with a view of a meadow there are outdoor showers with hot water for you to enjoy as well. Inside our wall tent there were two beds completely made with white linen and comforters. Just like you would expect in a hotel room. There was a wood burning stove completely prepped and ready for use with extra wood stacked on the side if you happen to need more. All we had to do was simply start the fire. read more

This place is magical! We had an amazing stay. The Meadow House was comfortable and fit two families perfectly. It is well stocked and we even had fresh farm eggs and milk waiting for us. The owners are being incredibly responsible and go above and beyond to sanitize and keep social distance. We are definitely coming back! read more

We felt so lucky to have found Willow Witt Farm. Our family, with two young children, had 3 amazing nights at the campground. During that long weekend, we barely traveled more than 2 miles, and yet had a fun filled weekend with so many special activities. We did the farm tour with the wonderful owners, who shared their story and their farm with us. The goats and chickens and pigs (to say nothing of the tractor and farm equipment) enthralled our kids. The fact that we could buy our dinner provisions from the farm was pretty great, too. We also did a great hike at grizzly peak, less than 2 miles away. Others went wine tasting and took walks around the property. My favorite parts of this campground were the sparkling clean bathrooms, expansive and well equipped outdoor kitchen, and the amazing outdoor showers. The campgrounds are beautifully maintained, and there's a meadow nearby with fabulous views of the farm. Thank you for a spectacular weekend! I can't wait to bring my family back in other seasons! read more

What an amazing experience. We went to Willow-Witt in June of 2015. Our family of 4 loved everything about this part of our trip. This is glamping at its finest. We were forced to unplug but so glad we did as there is very little cell service as you're far from Ashland down the hill. The "tent" we stayed it was lovely and met our needs perfectly. Super soft comfortable beds and clean bathrooms and warm big showers outside. The animals that are up on the ranch were so fun for the kids to meet and we all enjoyed the people who help out on the farm. The land is so beautiful and the small batch of people we met, families and a few couples who were also staying in the tents with us were so nice and we never felt like we didn't have privacy when we wanted it. I would highly recommend this for parents with kids or a romantic adventure for a couple. read more

Willow-Witt Ranch was a pause in an otherwise active vacation in northern California and southern Oregon. We rented the Meadow House, and didn't leave the ranch for two days. It was glorious. Suzanne gave us a wonderful tour of the facilities, from the goat milking to the chickens out in the fields (where we collected hatfuls of eggs) to the various buildings and all the projects they had going on (like building extra seating for a wedding that weekend). We bought supplies from their store and cooked perfectly simple meals. Our kids fell in love with the goats and went each morning to help feed the youngest ones and help herd them to their daytime pasture, and then stayed there playing with them for ages. It was a treat to be able to just let them go have their fun, without needing to be right next to them or even be able to see them. They were seriously sad to say goodbye to the other type of kids when we left. Sitting on the porch of the meadow house at sunset and watching the colors change on the large meadow was the perfect end to the peaceful days. Our whole trip was wonderful, but this place definitely was magical! read more

Such a special place in so many ways! We had a lovely time on the farm tour then a hike on the property looking for owls. Can't wait to make it back! read more

As a pretty adventurous single mom, I was itching to take my three sons on a farm adventure over Spring break. I wanted them to unplug, get out of the Bay Area, CA suburbs and get dirty, run off their boundless energy, play with animals and see what it's like to live and work on a farm! Willow Witt Ranch was the perfect anecdote! It was the most magical vacation! We went in early April this year. There were actually snow flurries on and off throughout our stay there, which enhanced the magic. Fortunately I packed everyone's rugged snow boots and lots of extra socks as was recommended since there was lots of playing on the muddy ground. We stayed in the studio, which is so cozy and charming. Suzanne had just started the first fire in our little stove so the studio was warm and so inviting after our long drive from Northern California. Our few days at Willow Witt were spent playing with all the young puppies, petting the big goats, watching the mama goats get milked; helping Suzanne wean the baby goats off their moms and onto bottles while playing in the barn for hours; learning how to collect the chicken eggs from the coup and feeding all the hundreds of chickens; and watching the baby piglets who had just been born during our stay! We all learned how to start a fire in the stove to keep our studio cabin warm at all times. I was so impressed how this brought out such an adventurous side in my boys. They got sooo dirty; and all had their favorite farm animals who they knew by name; and even enjoyed drinking the freshest raw goats milk that was left in our fridge along with freshly collected eggs. We brought in all our other food to cook our meals in our tiny kitchen, and when we got too cold from the snow and rain, we would play board games and read, and enjoy the landscape scenes from all the many windows in the bright studio. When we returned home, everyone else had just returned from their spring breaks at Disneyland and Hawaii, but I wouldn't trade our stay at Willow Ranch for anything. I would love to come back some day in the late Spring or summer! read more

This place is magic. I grew up on a small farm, but over the last few decades have become a city girl through and through. Our visit to Willow-Witt combined the best of both worlds, reminding me of the amazing joys of farm living, minus the hard work :) We stayed in the gorgeous Farmhouse Studio--compact but perfect. It has everything you need plus wonderful little extras everywhere. We loved being in the heart of the farm, watching the goats grazing in the fields through the big windows. Spending time with the animals was fantastic. They are clearly content and happy in their lives at Willow-Witt, and we loved gathering eggs, feeding the pigs (I didn't expect to enjoy my time with the pigs so much!), and of course spending lots of time playing with the sweet and friendly goats. The dogs are great too! The owners and farm helpers were all terrific, helping the girls accomplish age-appropriate chores, and patiently answering all our questions. We had meat, eggs and produce from the farm while we were there, and it was all delicious. We made the short drive into Ashland twice, and thoroughly enjoyed the shops, restaurants, and parks we explored. We did a lovely hike at the farm, too. I would return here in a heartbeat. It was relaxing yet energizing at the same time. This place is a sanctuary. I'm thankful for my time here, and hope to return soon! read more

A wonderful farm stay! We brought our own tent, but loved having access to the outdoor kitchen and outdoor showers (best view from a shower ever!). The morning tour of the farm by Suzanne was detailed and gave real insight into how the farm works. Loved having access to the garden for some fresh greens to make a salad, and we also made a nice goat-stew from meat grown on the farm! read more

For 31 years, Lanette and Suzanne have done a superb job developing a 400+-acre sustainable organic farm--and they want to share their treasure with all of us: the peaceful and lovely location at 5,000 feet plus goats, pigs, chickens, and dogs. We pitched a tent, which was a short walk to the beautiful and fully equipped outdoor kitchen. Lots of easy-to-start outdoor stoves, all utensils and cookware, AND granola, flours, spices, oils supplied. It is furnished with wooden tables and chairs--and a wood-burning stove to sit by on cooler mornings. You can also buy products and greens from their farm. The kitchen is shared by the campers and glampers, and there is plenty of room for everyone. The indoor bathroom (with shower) is spotless and stocked with kleenex, Q-tips, and even some wash clothes. The outdoor shower is great, too. All of this makes camping SOOO easy. We peaked in at the Meadowhouse and the Farmhouse Studio, which looked like a wonderful way to go, too. I could go on forever about this place--but you should just go and see for yourself! read more

The best vacation ever! My husband and I went with our kids and the only words to describe the week we spent there was MAGICAL..... it was one of the most relaxing vacations ever. I cant recommend it enough. The kids were off in the fields and playing with the animals the entire time and my husband and I enjoyed the peace and quiet. I went for hikes and runs every day. There are so many beautiful hikes near by and the the property is spectacular. The owners were so kind and helpful. I will be back next year! It was INCREDIBLE. read more

This place may have ruined us for other camp grounds. We brought our own tent and camped, but the fully furnished camp kitchen (even had seasonings, oil and tea!), outdoor showers and immaculate camp bathhouse completely changed the experience from camping to glamping. We sat around the kitchen's cast iron wood stove every night and had easily prepared warm breakfasts every morning while gazing out at the amazing view--all of this done at a leisurely pace because our kids ran down the trail to the farmhouse every morning to help with the animals. We met another lovely family with children during our stay and the kids had an incredible time running around together. The ranch seems to be a magnet for nice people. Everyone we met, from owners to farmhands to guests, was a pleasure to talk to. Nice people, incredible amenities, beautiful surroundings and baby animals makes for the best vacation ever! Also of note: the campgrounds are in a wooded area which adds a little privacy for your tent, the farm dogs, Izzie and Aldo love children and will visit the campgrounds to check on them, the farm food is delicious (had the Bangers, fresh picked spinach, eggs and goat milk and loved all of it--the kids now think goat milk is the best thing ever), and the ranch manages to be conveniently close to Ashland while still feeling like it is in its own little world. We will definitely be back! Next time we might try the canvas walled tents! read more

I recently had the good fortune to have a 2 night stay in a Rustic Furnished Wall Tent and it was wonderful! Only a 15 minute drive from Ashland we checked in and then headed back to town for dinner and a Shakespeare play. Had no trouble finding our tent upon our late night return thanks to lovely solar light jars and the bed linens were like sleeping in clouds. The farm tour was enlightening, all the farm staff were very warm and welcoming and as a bonus, a couple of the farm dogs adopted us during our stay. We took a gentle 3 mile hike around the property which abounded with wildflowers in many colors. We purchased sausages and greens from the farm store and prepared a delicious dinner in the outdoor kitchen with hot and cold running water, real dishes and silverware, and table linens. I will definitely be back. read more

I read about farm stays on an article on Yahoo.com. After reading it I researched a couple places and Willow-Witt Ranch quickly shot to the top choice for several reason; price, amenities, reviews, location and convenience. We brought 3 children, ages 2, 4 and 5 and all of them stayed free (under 8 is free)! Everybody was extremely friendly, not only the owners but also all of the farmhands/employees whom went out of their way to educate all of us, and especially the kids, about milking goats, picking chicken eggs, feeding pigs, caring for animals and the veggies. Everybody made sure to make us feel like it was our house. We stayed in the guest farmhouse attached to the main farmhouse and it was very cozy and comfortable. The beds were cloud-like, there was fresh goats milk and chicken eggs in the fridge for us, all the cooking supplies we needed were there and if they weren't then the owners were happy to let us borrow theirs. We got to roast marshmallow from a barbecue because fires were prohibited due to weather, we could interact with the animals whenever we wanted. The scenery is beautiful, surrounded by meadows, mountains, trees, a pond within walking distance, 4 or 5 dogs roaming free that were either extremely playful or friendly when approached (except one but he is old and leaves everybody alone). I would definitely go back! I love how eco-friendly and sustainable they are. The electricity comes from the sun, everything is composted or recycled, it seemed like everything was organic, even the supplies that were waiting for us in the farmhouse. I got a lot of negative responses from friends and family when I mentioned we were going to stay on a farm but I am so glad I followed through. It was educational yet relaxing and safe, didn't have to worry about the kids and I would do it again for sure. I recommend this type of trip, or more specifically, this ranch to anybody looking for a different type of vacation and doesn't want to spend a ton of money. read more

Today we visited this beautiful working organic farm. We were just here for a short tour ... And instead were treated to a delicious dive into local history, even pre-history, and we were graciously guided by John, one of the able and generous farmhands. Oh, and also Enzo and Aldo and Izzie, sweet dogs who enchanted our children. John explained the details of raising pigs and goats and chickens organically. He showed how the pigs actually moved out through the forest and would deliver piglets in about three weeks. The chickens have a moving coop just like we'd read about in omnivore's dilemma. Noting our curiosity, john took us on a hike to the original homestead house and explained that this was a dairy cow farm at that time. And before that, long before that, it was a mountain lake providing rich hunting grounds as evidenced by the many stone arrowheads found there. Eventually we circled back to the farm just as Suzanne, one of the owners, arrived to top off our tour with an entrancing discussion of riparian ecology and also of the solar panels that provide power to the farm. Utterly charming. We then bought out the store of truly local pork shoulder, goat sausages and eggs laid this morning. Totally awesome. We shall be back! read more
