Orville Chandler Ranch - 320 Acres in the Blue Mountains
- Minimum stay:N/A
- Internet:No
- Pets allowed:Yes
- Wheel chair accessible:No
This home was completed during January 2003. We built it for vacation use. The home has everything we could think of to make your stay pleasant. Your stay will be memorable for what you can do outside.
The ranch is in the forgotten part of northeastern Oregon. The ranch is at 4200 feet and the Elkhorn Ridge of the Blue Mountains rises to 9000-feet elevation. The ranch is about equally divided between open meadow and pine forests. The Elkhorn Ridge is well known to the local people and some deer and elk hunters. Trails, lakes, rivers, and streams abound and you can find solitude here that is unattainable in most parts of the state.
Anthony Lakes Ski Area, famous for powder snow, is only 19 miles away. The 26 mile Elkhorn Crest Wilderness Trail passes just above us to the west. Over a dozen wilderness lakes are within 20 miles, with hikes ranging from less than a mile to close to 20 miles.
Elk, deer, wild turkey, coyotes, and more live right on the ranch and can even be seen from the house if you are observant. Mountain goats live on the ridge and antelope live in the lower reaches of the county. Trout streams are all around, including two small streams, worth fishing, on the ranch.
We hope you can come and enjoy our peace and quiet.

We had the opportunity to stay at the Ranch for three days / two nights. The ranch sits right in the foothills, where we saw at least 9 deer. The property is very relaxing, and the ranch house is very comfortable, with a fully stocked kitchen. The owner was very quick at responding to emails and questions, and I can't wait for my next stay at the Ranch. We ventured to the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center a short 30 minute drive away, and enjoyed lunch in Downtown Baker City, OR. Haines also has some very nice City Parks that we enjoyed. Finally, we went to the Anthony Lakes recreational area, and enjoyed a short 1-2 mile hike to a lake that was secluded and only had two other vistors. I would highly recommend this property for rental!Owner response: Thank you. We alway try our best to serve our guests so that their visit to the Orville Chandler Ranch is enjoyable one.

The Chandler Ranch was a perfect place for our family get together. It is very well laid out for a family - there were seven in our group. It is extremely maintained and clean. The owner was very helpful in answering any of our questions. The property also has fabulous views of the hills and fields surrounding the house - peaceful and relaxing. We enjoyed hikes in the nearby Anthony Lakes area, horseback riding, fishing, and the Fourth of July activities in nearby Haines. We would definitely rent again!Did you find this review helpful?

Stayed at the Orville- Chandler Ranch recently with friends. The nicely appointed home is in very quiet and beautiful location with amazing views of the surrounding mountains. Minutes to the local ski area- Anthony Lakes and the historic town of Baker. The owners have thought of everything that a guest could want, including snow sleds. Enjoyed our visit and planning to return next year.Recommended for: Sightseeing, girls getaway, families with young children, pet owners, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers.

Hi, I have, as faithfully as possible, copied all comments from our physical guest book and pasted them here. Many comments are accompanied by sketches etc. which I can't reproduce. Also, I omitted all names other than the first initial followed by the ellipes (P...). I invite all future guests to make entries here & of course in the book at the ranch. You may see the oruginals there too. Thank you Pat Chandler ownerDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

10/18/04 Thank you for a fabulous weekend. We had so much fun biking, hiking, playing fetch with the dogs, cooking, eating, playing games, chatting & sleeping in cozy beds. This is the perfect getaway---next time we just need more time. We so much appreciated the well-stocked kitchen. We look forward to our next stay. Megan and companyDid you find this review helpful?

What a place!Accessible enough for privacy, yet large enough for group gatherings. And what gatherings we shared. This was the first ever family reunion for the T… and as the song goes “we came from far and near”. Childhood experiences were shared and brought tears of joy and laughter. Others, who were not there for the experiences, delighted in the telling and offered times of their own. The surprise for all was how well the separate groups blended into F-A-M-I-L-Y. Many thanks to Vance for making this a truly significant emotional experience. It should and could happen again.T…s etc.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

8/4/04H…’s family reunion Wow! Did we have fun at your place! We played lotsa cards, cards, ate lotsa food, caught lotsa frogs & made lotsa memories. We were especially thankful for the high quality pots & pans and the fluffy towels. The decks make great beds. We enjoyed the coyotes howling & the plethora of twinkling stars. God has blessed our family richly and we rekindled that realization here at your house.Thanks Grand pa & Grand ma = 2 7 kids & their spouses = 14 Grand kids = 21 Great grands = 8 _________ 45Hi- What a lovely place. It allowed us to gather with all seven of our children, all their mates, all eight of our great grand children and a number of the grandchildren to share old memories and build new ones.T.

Loved this place and it was a hit at my dads 90th birthday party. Comfort and privacy. Hawks and owls, humming birds & a zillion fledgling struggling to fly for the first time.The resident doe in the pasture added charm- as did the old hotel doors masquerading as room and closet doors.Hospitality and complexity oozed out of every nook & cranny.Did you also order the full moon and clear nights?We’ll be back. We felt welcomed & privileged all the time we spent here.Grand MaDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0
