A view from the valley below the ranch
Location: Haines, Eastern Oregon, Oregon, USA (300 miles East of Portland; 150 West of Boise, Idaho)
Accommodations: New Four-Bedroom House, 4 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 3.5 Baths (Sleeps 9-10)
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.

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.

8/4/04 H…’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 _________ 45 Hi- What a lovely place.

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 owner

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 Ma
