Owner's Profile
Owner Description
The owners, Steve and Janna, have lived and worked in Southern Oregon all their lives. They have a combined 50 years of work experience with the U.S. Forest Service and can be a useful source of information about local sights, native plants and the wild animals in the area…as well as local history.
Why the Owner Chose Prospect
We actually built the cabin ourselves with the help of family and friends. We wanted to showcase our love of working with wood and this seemed the perfect place to do that.

Yes, we must admit we are addicted to the Red Blanket Cabin! Even when the weather dips into the low 30's & 40's during the day, the cabin is warm and comfortable. The full kitchen allows you to cook the basics or goodies like banana nut bread. BBQ a tri-tip and Life is Good! Still discovering new waterfalls and gorges along both the Rogue and the North Umpqua River. Had a fantastic time and Steve and Janna are wonderful hosts - very accommodating. Loved Steve's campfire. Didn't want to step outside into the freezing night's chill but the campfire was the reward for our courage! Any season is a great time to visit. The trails along the Rogue have almost no elevation gain and lots of tracks were visible in the light snow pack such as fox, deer and turkey. Easy access with 4 wheel drive. We are looking forward to returning for more adventures hiking and exploring this area.

The pictures do not do it justice. This unique artistic home is a piece of art lovingly crafted. Aside from all you need to live, it has an attitude of comfort that is hard to express. This is truly the most beautiful home we have experienced in our 30 years of traveling. It is a great base for Crater Lake, much better than the Crater Lake lodge. A meal at the Prospect Historical Hotel is quite nice too. It is a base for exploring southern hikes and cities and caves. It is a place for privacy and solitude, to read and relax. The outdoor claw foot bath tubs are another once in a lifetime not to be missed nighttime experience of star gazing while sipping wine inside your coccoon of warm suds surrounded by soft natural sounds that are muffled out by walls and tvs. Never watched the tv. Wish we had stayed 4 days minimum, preferably 6. This home is a destination.

Our family had a wonderful time at the Red Blanket cabin. The house is comfortable, clean with beautiful woodwork. We spent the days hiking and exploring Crater Lake, Ashland and other surrounding areas and loved coming back to the cabin at the end of the day. The ladder golf yard game in the shed was a favorite to play after dinner. But the highlight was soaking side by side in the double clawfoot tubs in the back yard surrounded by quiet and a dark sky filled with stars. Steve and Janna are great hosts leaving us notes about the red moon rising and other local activities. We hope to make it back to Southern Oregon to visit again and defnitely back to the Red Blanket Cabin!

What a charming cabin. We wish we could give it more stars. Steve and Janna built a beautifully welcoming cabin in one of the prettiest spots in the world. Red Blanket Cabin is a work of art, really. The wood they salvaged and brought back to life in this home glows gold in the Southern Oregon sunshine. Every place you look, there is a bit of their fine craftsmanship to admire. It is a very welcoming cabin, too. That is, no doubt, due to the fact that Steve and Janna thought of everything. We found art supplies, fuzzy slippers, books about local points of interest, hidden tubs under the stars, and lots of other pleasant surprises that show the owner’s thoughtfulness. We also discovered a set of mountain bikes that we used to visit the Prospect-area waterfalls and trails, which are amazingly numerous and world class spots of their own. The warmth and hospitality of this special couple is a delight from start to finish. It is a pleasure to highly recommend Red Blanket Cabin.

We stayed 3 nights at the Red Blanket Cabin. The pictures posted do not do it justice. Its beautiful, quiet, peaceful, in a great area, horses, fields, country, close to Crater Lake and other beautiful places. We ate at the Prospect Hotel but were glad we had a place to go back to with our own living room and beautiful backyard and porch. Steve and Janna were incredible. My old Ford Taurus had "issues" and Steve went on-line for us, and found the phone number and map for Crater Lake Ford for us. Janna even offered to drive us into Medford if needed. The cabin itself has amazing touches/woodwork and is absolutely clean and modern. I truly appreciated all the help and support with our car problems and Steve and Janna's helpfulness. They both know the area well and are great resources for the whole area.

This is a wonderful place to stay. We were there for three nights during our July 2011 vacation, and we agreed that we could have stayed much longer. The cabin is beautiful, spotless, and very comfortable. Steve and Jana are very friendly and accommodating in every way. Want to get away from it all for a while in complete comfort? Visit the Red Blanket Cabin!

This special place and special hosts can't be beat! There is so much to do in the area it makes a great home base for adventures. Mother Nature sent 2 inches of fresh powder to decorate the scenery which made it a photographer's dream come true. A short drive toward Crater Lake led us to more snow and our first hike on snow shoes provided by the hosts. Another hike is just out the back door which led us to siting a bald eagle. Many tracks of wildlife were seen such as deer, raccoon, turkeys, fox, as well as horses & cows. We attended the Prospect Community Christmas Craft Fair and enjoyed the people & original artwork. It is a magical setting that also offers a cozy cabin for curling up with a good book or watching a movie. We'll return again & again and highly recommend it. We only fear it will become too popular!

This little cabin rates 10 stars! Beyond our imagination...the attention to details and quality, cleanliness, and artistic design were outstanding. No romantic getaway will ever be considered complete without a bubble bath under the stars in twin claw-footed bathtubs - Oh Wow! How Cool! Even on our drive home, we are anxiously choosing our next date with the little cabin.

Best accomodation not too far from Crater Lake NP

From the moment you step into the cabin till you leave, the custom wood work, the craftsmanship evident in every major & minor detail will stay with you for a long time. Complementing this beautiful cabin is a lovely backyard buzzing with humming birds (took lots of pictures), well laid out claw footed bath tubs out in the open for you to immerse in & a functional gas grill. Nothing more one could ask for far away from home!. Location of the cabin is perfect for making multiple trips to Crater Lake NP. Drive to NP is beautiful and relaxing with very light traffic. On personal note Steve and Jana provided stuff for our kids that made our life easier; which they didn't have to but they went an extra step. I found them to be enthusiastic and ready to help. They have listed things to do around Prospect and adjoining areas in a neat folder so no problems if you land up there without having done any research of your own.
Owner response:We offer the cabin to families with children on a limited basis and we have to say that you and your family were exemplary in caring for the cabin and the children were delightful. Thank you for the kind comments. It makes our job so much easier when we know that people truely like what they find at Red Blanket Cabin.

The pictures of this property couldn't possibly show all of the hidden treasures to be found upon arrival at the cabin. Steve and Janna thought of everything to make the visit to the area very memorable. Their hospitality was warm and welcoming. The cabin was clean and comfortable and equipped with every amenity. We really appreciated the air conditioning after a day at Crater Lake in the 90 degree plus heat! The tips for dining and sightseeing in the area were very helpful. The cabin was very relaxing with lots of places to sit back and enjoy nature at it's finest. We have recommended this as the perfect spot to stay while visiting Crater Lake to all of our friends and family.
