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!

Great spot to stop with a well provisioned camp store, both partial and full hook ups available…read more Fantastic new owner. There is a great stage for shows, skits and concerts. I have been out there several times and plan to go back. Do not miss the view of Fort Rock, it will take your breath away.

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!

Pull in off the road at Silver Lake one block in , from on the Oregon's Outback scenic byway. It's…read moreconvenient and a good value. 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

We were very pleasantly impacted by not only the cabin, but the owners. Everything was very clean…read moreand well maintained, the aesthetics were great and the cabin was exactly as presented by photos on their website. The location made for a wonderful "launch point" to discover all that region of the state had to offer. The appliances worked as designed and the cupboards were well stocked with linens, dishes and any other items a cabin might required Bring your own food). The full size refrigerator/freezer was a great addition for storing left overs from our visit to the Cowboy Dinner Tree, located 10 minutes away. Both my wife and I highly recommend this cabin for your next visit to the Silver Lake area.

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.

This review is for the motel, *not* the mercantile next door…read more The rooms are clean but very small. They have two beds, (one double, one twin). The mattresses are quite soft, which didn't bother me, but my husband's back was not happy. There was no table or chairs in the room, so there is no place in the room to eat. The amenities are few, and the TV shares channels with other rooms, so you may not get the channel you want. They do have fair WiFi. The owners are helpful and friendly. Still, for $60/night, this is a decent roadside motel that will suffice well for sleep and relaxation after a day on the road, or a big meal at The Cowboy Dinner Tree.
