Cascade timber ranch
The ranch runs as a private mountain community, scattering timber cabins across eighteen hundred acres beneath the Three Sisters peaks.
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Two championship golf courses and five pools spread across eighteen hundred Cascade acres.
Notable
Charred cedar siding and volcanic stone details shape the timber-framed mountain lodge.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Across 1,800 private acres beneath Black Butte and the Three Sisters in Central Oregon's Cascade Mountains.
The rooms
Accommodations range from compact lodge rooms to standalone timber cabins suited for family gatherings.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor pool looks toward the Cascade peaks, and a sixteen-person whirlpool tub sits on the timber deck.
The spa and gym
Therapists at Glaze Meadow use organic skincare for massages, and the gym looks straight out onto the golf course.
The Lodge Restaurant
Two-story windows look out toward the Three Sisters, and dining tables are crafted from an on-site ponderosa pine.
How it began
Hacker Architects rebuilt the central lodge in 2023, matching its roofline to Black Butte and repurposing timber from the 1970 original.
