Brasada Ranch

OUR RATING: Deluxe

Marked by ancient juniper trees, private lakes, indigo skies and unparalleled panoramic views, Brasada Ranch's 1800 acres are located just east of Bend. The property offers suites and cabins that blend seamlessly into the landscape, and combine rustic elegance with understated luxury.

Central Oregon is renowned for its range of outdoor activities and here on the sunny side of the Cascade Mountains there are plenty of warm days to enjoy being outside. The ranch itself has its own equestrian center offering lessons and a range of riding to suit all abilities. In addition there is fly fishing, mountain biking, bird-watching and canoe tours with excellent golf, white-water rafting, hiking, and rock climbing available locally.

Guests can choose to stay in one of the 10 spacious suites in the ranch house or in one of the delightful Sage Canyon cabins that are built into the rock butte. The ranch house suites each have a fireplace and a large private deck and there is a hot tub and fire pit to enjoy. The cabins are large, ranging from one to four bedrooms, and have a luxury kitchen, living room, barbecue grill, and some have a private hot tub on the wrap-around deck. There is a range of dining options, from a sophisticated restaurant to a simple casual sandwich bar.
