Mazama Ranch House

The ranch house is an incredibly fun place to stay! The rooms are clean, comfortable and Steve and his staff are warm, accommodating and very friendly. We loved our stay and only wish the rooms had A/​C so we could have stayed longer. Lots of horse people come with their horses and it is a hopping busy place with horse people, hikers and family. It can get a little crowded as the rooms are close together and there are people walking by your room all the time, looking in and what not. Doors and windows open to let breeze in as it was hot hot hot during the day. So its not the best place if you want privacy and A/​C. The Mazama general store is right across the street so we got our food from there daily along with amazing dinners from Country Inn dining room also across the street and also ate at Kelly’s down the street and had the most amazing service and home made black bean burger we have ever had. The people in Mazama are so warm and friendly and we loved our time there. The staff at the General store make you feel like family. Best coffee and baked goods that we have ever had! Hats off to Steve and his staff for creating a rustic ranch experience with amazing customer service. Thank you Steve!

We have stayed at the Mazama Ranch House four times. We visit the Ranch House to enjoy the fabulous cross-​country skiing that is available literally right outside your door.
We have shared the main ranch house with friends, which is comfortable, but certainly not fancy by any stretch of the imagination. The kitchen is decent, and adequately stocked with utensils that you might need for cooking during your stay. The bedrooms are very nice and comfortable. The bathrooms not so much. The upstairs bathroom is a tiny TINY bathroom with a tiny TINY shower stall. The downstairs bathroom is much better, more spacious.
We have also rented the rooms in the side wings of the Ranch House. We found these very comfortable, with good beds, a small kitchenette and a little sitting porch that looks out on the valley and ski trails. The rooms are more updated than the main ranch house facility.
This past year, we rented the Longhorn Cabin, which is really quite rustic. There is a futon downstairs, a wood stove (which works great, BTW), a small kitchen with an antique but functioning refrigerator, baseboard heating, an area to keep your skis/​boots near the door and a small eating area. There is a loft room upstairs with a full-​size bed that is accessible by ladder. Also, a very small bathroom with a terrible shower head. No warm gushes of soothing water post-​ski available here.
Still, we truly enjoyed staying in the Long Horn cabin, despite the bathroom, and will definitely return again.
Contrary to the other reviewer, we have always had excellent dealings with the owner Steve and his staff members. He was always very friendly, and definitely keeps the facilities well-​maintained. The hot tub, rooms, common areas and clubhouse (called the «Chicken Coop») were always kept clean.
I would definitely recommend the Mazama Ranch House to anyone, as long as they were clear that it is not a luxury facility. It is wonderful, but it is a little rustic.

What a lovely ranch house that welcomes groups and horses! The owner is terrific and accomodating. We were here for a wedding and couldn’t have been happier with the way everything turned out. Plenty of space for our crowd to sleep and visit, a hammock for lounging, lots of parking, lush grass yard, safe hot tub, spacious and clean barn (dancing happened upstairs; catering used the lower level for feeding 80 people), appropriate décor (lots of old pictures of the area and the ranch), clean and quaint. I hear people come for cross-​country skiing, hiking, biking and horseback riding. The local store just outside the entrance has great food (made fresh daily) and fresh fruits. I bought a «Mazama» sweatshirt for $ 40 and it’s THE SOFTEST one I’ve ever touched and a great memory of a fantastic stay!
