About this property

Shady Cove River House -Fly Fish, Raft, Hike or Just Relax

This newly remodeled, charming home features a 1950's look kitchen with an O'Keefe and Merritt gas stove and a Big Chill refrigerator.

The kitchen and bedroom windows look out onto 1/2 acre of cedars and pines over green lawns sloping down to the Rogue River right in the back yard. Views across the river of park-like lawns often include deer and other wildlife. Geese and ducks feed and nest on both banks. You can stroll, barbeque, fish and bird watch without ever leaving home.

Both bedrooms have queen beds and large closets. One bedroom has room for an extra inflatable double bed, which is stored in the closet. The newly remodeled bath includes a shower and tub.

Bathroom and Kitchen are well stocked with all necessities, including paper products, soaps, first aid, spices, condiments, plus coffee, tea, canned and dry goods for late arrivals.

Off-street parking in the gated front drive provides enough room for RV, boat and multiple cars.

This quiet street is only blocks from town with , restaurants, grocery store and shops. A short drive north takes you to numerous parks, water features, the fish hatchery, historic towns and Becky's famous pies. Lost Creek lake is thirty minutes north. Crate Lake is one and a half hours north.

Weekly rates apply for seven nights or more.

This is a charming vacation home. It was very clean and well provided with comfort and necessities. We are in our 80s and found the stairs steep in front and back, but thankfully only about 4 or 5 steps. The resident family of wild geese took over the area near the river making it impossible to walk near it with all the poop. However, we sat on the wooden deck and enjoyed watching the river at a distance and being in the company of the enormous pine and cedar trees. The decor is heavily masculine. I would have liked a brighter, lighter interior, but that is not a big deal.

The house is in a great quiet spot next ro the river. Too cold to go swimming but we enjoyed watching it move by. We had plenty of space for my family and I for Thanksgiving. Thank you so much for opening up your home to us.

Just like home... this home reminded me of visiting my grandma when I was a young girl. This home is filled with love and comfort. There is an apple tree in the back yard, so of course my mom made an apple pie. We sat in the kitchen eating our warm apple pie, overlooking the Rogue River and along came some deer, slowly passing through.My mom and I didn't want to leave. Not too far from Crater Lake which is a must experience and see! Stop at Beckie's Cafe in Prospect for a delicious home made lunch and pie. We asked Gael, the host, about fishing and she recommended booking a fishing guide through the local store 'The Fishin Hole Fly Shop'. Pritch treated us like we were regulars, answering all our questions about local fishing and booked us with Jake the fishing guide, to fish salmon and steelhead on the Rogue. It was an amazing experience and also a tour of the Rogue River (yes, we did release the fish). I highly recommend this. We plan to return to this same home and book Jake to teach us fly fishing.We didn't want to leave this home. Thank you for being the base for great memories.

Rogue River Retreat

This beautiful property provides a great spot to travel to Crater Lake and the Pinnacles. My granddaughter joined me for a super fun jet boat trip on the Rogue. We saw Bald Eagles, Western Pond Turtles, deer, and a variety of other large birds. Ashland entertained us with a wonderful play and boutique shopping. When you get back to the property you can relax out on the deck and watch the river roll by. Perfect vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Gael Treible

Host profile image
My wife retired from a public school district career and I am semi retired from a sales career. We have two grown sons and two grandchildren, but our dogs are still at home.

We enjoy fishing, camping, hiking and biking. My family and I discovered Shady Cove when my son enrolled at Southern Oregon University in Ashland. We enjoy visiting every chance we get!

Why they chose this property

While traveling in Oregon, we fell in love with Shady Cove after taking a raft trip from the Lost Creek Reservoir down the Rogue River into the heart of town. The beauty of the area is unparalleled.

Shady Cove is perfectly situated to enjoy all that Southern Oregon has to offer. The beautiful and unique Crater Lake is a must see adventure to the north. Along the way, visit Union Creek Station, historic Prospect, and breathtaking river views.

Nearby lakes offer fishing, swimming, and boating. Rafting adventures start right in town and guided tours can also be arranged in Grants Pass. Multiple fishing shops and guides make Shady Cove a fisherman's destination.

A short drive south takes you through Eagle Point with its golf course and the 1890's water powered Butte Creek Mill. Continuing west through the modern city of Medford takes you to historic Jacksonville and the Britt Festival, offering art and music events throughout the season. The nearby Applegate Valley is a lovely drive north to shopping and exploring in Grant's Pass.

Just 45 minutes south of Shady Cove is Ashland, home of the world famous Oregon Shakespeare Festival and Lithia Park. The restaurants and shops are outstanding.

What makes this property unique

This house sit on a half acre of lawn and pine trees the stretches down to your own private 80 feet of riverfront. We love to sit down by the river and watch the wildlife by day and the stars at night.

We often walk into town for breakfast or coffee. Shady Cove restaurants offer great food, casual atmosphere, and friendly, hometown hospitality.

There are so many parks within minutes, we never run out of new places to explore. Favorite drives include trips to local wineries and gourmet food shops like the Rogue Valley Creamery and Gary West Meats.
