Keywords: Home
This is a wonderful family home that sits on the top-of-the-ridge at the Running Y. The rear deck of the house faces down the ridge to the golf course and the front faces the lake. The house is located in in a cul-de-sac in one of the most desirable locations of the ranch. This cul-de-sac on the ridge has a group of wonderful neighbors who built their homes when these most desirable lots were available. It is a quiet neighborhood with access to all the hiking and biking trails right from the home.
We had this home with three car garage built for us in 1998 by one of the finest local builders to be our luxurious retirement home. Work called us to another location so now you may enjoy a really special place in the Oregon Cascades.
The Running Y Ranch was owned by the Disney family before it was purchased for a destination resort ranch. The Disney's enjoyed the 10,000 acre historic working cattle ranch because of the abundant wildlife that has been on this property for centuries. Deer will lay in the backyard and you will see geese, eagles and an occasional cougar. Don't worry - they are very timid!!
The Running Y marsh is an area where birds and water fowl are counted annually because of their number that fly through on the pacific fly-way. Bring your binoculars because birds are everywhere. There is even a pair of eagles that annually nest nearby.
In addition to the home, there is an apartment with a separate entrance that can be rented if your group is larger than will fit into the main home. The apartment has one bedroom, bath, kitchen, living and dining area plus a deck of its own. There is a double bed and in the living room a sofa bed and a large chair that houses a single bed, so it can sleep 5. The cost to rent the apartment is $75/day (additional security deposit and cleaning).

Map & Owner's Profile
Top-of-the Ridge View Home at Running Y Ranch-Fully Equipped!
Year Purchased: 1998
Why the Owner Chose Klamath Falls
Our favorite part of the Running Y is the amazing wildlife. This ranch was owned by the Disney family as a get-a-way before it was sold to become a resort ranch. The wildlife that has lived on this ranch undisturbed for 100's of years includes deer, coyote, golden and bald eagles as well as owls, woodpeckers, geese and even a wandering cougar. Guests are asked to respect the wildlife as deer and birds will often be within feet and are accustomed to their freedom.
The Unique Benefits at this House
This property has access to all the wilderness surroundings of the Cascade mountain range. The Pacific Crest Trail travels close to this location. Crater Lake, considered one of the natural wonders of America, is a little more than an hour away. In the winter, I have cross country skied from this house, down the ridge for a full morning or afternoon of skiing and return to the house. There is also a wonderful hill (hole #9) for sledding when snow is deep enough!
Crater Lake National Park, the only national park in Oregon, contains one of the most remarkable natural features in the world. This feature, and the dominant element of the park, is the massive lake contained in the caldera formed by the collapse of the ancient volcano known as Mt. Mazama. The deep blue color of the lake, its depth, and setting in the caldera provide a unique and memorable sight for visitors to the park. Beecher (1957) has called Crater Lake one of the world's 3 greatest scenic features (along with the Grand Canyon and Victoria Falls).
Maybe you love caves, or you've never been in one. Or you're a history buff, love wildflowers, or just need a few hours of solitude in the wilderness away from the daily commute? Lava Beds is the place for you. Indoors or out, any time of year, there's always a variety of activites and events to keep you busy, interested, and amazed.
Lower Klamath NWR, established by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1908, was the first waterfowl refuge in the United States. It has a total area of 50,912 acres, of which 44,294 acres are in California and 6,618 acres are in Oregon. The refuge includes shallow freshwater marshes, open water, grassy uplands, and croplands that are intensively managed to provide feeding, resting, nesting, and brood rearing habitat for waterfowl and other water birds. A marked 10-mile auto tour allows visitors year round access for wildlife viewing. The Refuge also has a number of blinds for wildlife photographers.
Owner's Map of Klamath Falls
We chose to build our home and live at the Running Y Ranch 14 years ago. It is the most beautiful mountain resort with golf course, abundant wildlife and some of the finest people we've ever met. We built this home to raise our family and plan to return when we retire. Right now we have been called away to another location, but look forward to returning as soon as we can! In the meantime, you can enjoy this very special place at our home!

Fantastic Running Y Vacation Home!!

We have been going to the Running Y for several years and have found the perfect spot! This home is perched on the ridge of the Running Y overlooking the valley with a great view. It is the most equipped vacation home we have ever rented and had everything we needed. We also rented the downstairs apartment for another family that came with us. This house is big! Our kids slept in the upstairs bedroom which is huge and spacious. There are two well appointed bedrooms on the main level and the downstairs apartment had one bedroom and two fold out sleepers in the living room. Both the apartment and main kitchen were well equipped with everything including a baking station. There are two decks with great views of the ranch and the many deer that walk by. Because the house is in a cul-de-sac, it is super quiet. The owners were very easy to work with and everything that was promised was delivered. The house was clean and warm when we got there, instructions were sent to us via email in advance and we received a prompt refund of our security deposit. In summary, we and our friends had a memorable stay at this home and are already planning a return trip in the future. I would definitely rent this home again!!

We had a family reunion at this lovely location over the long holiday weekend. The home was warm, comfortable and has a wonderfully well equipped kitchen. The owner provided detailed information about the home, the community and the region. It was very well-maintained and very clean and the owner was very responsive to all our inquiries. The ice skating rink was a tremendous hit with our family and we enjoyed using it day and night. We loved the setting and the resort community location. This was a 10 star vacation and one we would love to repeat annually.

What a wonderful home! Running Y Ranch is a beautiful community! I was traveling with two boys and this home was more than enough for us...easily could have accommodated more people. Kitchen was well stocked, master bathroom was gorgeous (LOVED the jacuzzi tub!) and the views from the living room were amazing. Cathy was VERY easy to work with and I would definitely stay here again if I am traveling in the area!

Amazing week. This home was very spacious, clean, and full of supplies. It's a beautiful location on a ridge, and the wildlife is amazing. The kids enjoyed using the pool and tennis court at the clubhouse.The rear of the house is almost all window, so you get amazing light and views from inside the kitchen and living area. The beds were very comfortable, and the master bathroom is a treat. The kitchen is modern and spacious, you will have everything you need to cook great meals in the kitchen. The owners are very friendly and helpful. We received quick respond when we got looked outside.

So much to say about our stay all good. The squirrels and birds were endless entertainment for all of us ages 2 to 60. There were 5 buckst in backyard early one morning. Golfers rejoiced in the beautiful arnold palmer course. Daytrips for hiking, swimming, and picknics are with in 15 min of home. The house is very comfortable and makes for a relaxing atmosphere. Love the quiet and peaceful lifestyle we led there. Our party booked an extra day because we did not wnat to leave.

We were in Klamath Falls only a few days and needed a place where we could entertain local family in a relaxing environment. The owners were excellent to work with and the home was large enough both inside and out. We also took advantage of the Running Y hiking trails, pool, & sauna. I would highly recommend this home for anyone wishing to spend a few days in a relaxing and comfortable environment.

A wonderful home

Review Submitted: 05/10/11
My scrapbooking group have been traveling from Medford to Running Y twice a year for the last 7 years and this was definitely one of our favorite rentals thus far! The home was clean and well-maintained and there was an amazing amount of light through all of the wonderful windows. Oh - and the birds were AMAZING - we kept feeding them and watching all the different varieties come by. The squirrels too - acrobatic trying to get to the feeders and only one fell off the deck - I think he is okay though. The kitchen was VERY well stocked and the owner was even gracious enough to leave us a gift certificate to the store, because I'm sure that she "knew" we would forget to bring ice cream :-) I would definitely recommend this house - and we may try to stay here again. The only "issue" is that there are a lot of stairs so getting our supplies and and out of the house gave us quite the workout. Oh and speaking of workouts - the hill to the house is definitely a challenging way to end our 4 mile walk - but it was good for us :-) Awesome weekend - thanks!

We don't have much to add to all the wonderful comments about this great house. We loved the well stocked kitchen, the comfortable beds, luxurious linens, fires in the fireplace, the view from the deck, and visits from birds, squirrels, and deer. It was the perfect half-way meeting place for us, coming from Sacramento and Portland. We spent one day caving at Lava beds NM and the other snowshoeing at Crater Lake. It was wonderful to come back to such a comfortable home after a long, cold day outdoors.

Christmas Vacation

Review Submitted: 01/02/11
This beautiful home is our new favorite place for our family vacation. Our stay for a week with our family of 6 and sister made treasured memories. The 7 of us loved every minute enjoying the beautiful views from every window of the house. Even preparing meals is fun as almost every window in the house has a gorgeous view. The snow was wonderful and our 4 sons loved sledding down the great hill by hole 9 just less than a mile down the road. Big 5 Sporting Goods sells great sleds and are very helpful. We gave the boys the sleds for Christmas and on fresh snow the orange ones work great and on icy days the blue ones go very fast. The hill really is the perfect sledding hill. We rented cross country skis from Parkers in town for a very small fee and skied around the back of the golf course shop. There are trails for the first several miles and the scenery is spectacular. This is a great course for a family of beginners because you are close to your car and restrooms at the golf shop. We drove to Mt. Ashland to introduce our boys to downhill skiing as well. They offer great instruction to the kids and it is a very good place to learn. We also made snow forts and had snowball fights right outside the front of the home. Taking walks is perfect as the home is just doors away from stupendous views of the lake and a wonderful walking trail as well. The kids also enjoyed using the pool and jacuzzi at the clubhouse. We will fondly remember the services at Klamath Presbyterian Church and their very welcoming pastor David. The Christmas eve service at Klamath Christian Center gave out tiny flashlights to use while singing Silent Night and had a wonderful lit up manger scene in the snow that was actually a gift from Klamath Presbyterian Church. A house right by the sledding hill also has a beautiful manger scene lit up. All the lights on the different houses, a blown up polar bear with Santa on his back just doors away, friendly nature of the neighbors and genuine helpfulness of the owners makes this a wonderful place to come and have a family vacation every time of the year. The kitchen is even stocked with cake mixes, brownie mixes, spices and everything you might forget at the store. This is the best vacation place for sure.

I agree-this is the best outfitted VRBO property ever and the owner generously left a gift certificate to the Running Y Ranch Market-could these owners be any better? No, Cathy and Bob are the best! The scenery-the views are fantastic and the home is so comfy. The upstairs loft bedroom is a great resource too. We had a massage at the spa (they were offering discounts at Thanksgiving) with Deborah and it was good. Having the Recreation Center with the indoor pool and jacuzzi right on the property is wonderful. We hope to explore the surrounding sights at a time of year when they're accessible. Thanks you so much!
