What's waiting outside your door

Ochoco Reservoir sits at the center of some of the most remarkable natural and cultural experiences in the Pacific Northwest — many of which you simply cannot find anywhere else.

Around the Region

Natural Wonder

Painted Hills

One of Oregon's seven wonders — ancient, vividly colored hills striped in red, gold, and black. A one-hour drive through the high desert makes for an unforgettable day trip from the retreat.

1 hr drive · John Day Fossil Beds National Monument
World-Class Climbing

Smith Rock State Park

The birthplace of American sport climbing and one of the most photographed landscapes in Oregon. Whether you're scaling the basalt columns or just hiking the river trail, it's a must-do day trip.

35 min drive · Open year-round
Outdoor Recreation

Fly Fishing the Crooked River

The Crooked River is one of Central Oregon's premier fly fishing destinations, running cold and clear through dramatic canyon walls just minutes from the property. Wild trout, uncrowded water, and stunning scenery.

16 min drive · Year-round fishing
Day Trip

Bend, Oregon

Central Oregon's hub city — world-class breweries, acclaimed restaurants, boutique shopping, and the Deschutes River Trail all within 50 minutes. A natural base extension for groups who want a night out or a change of scenery mid-stay.

50 min drive · Year-round

In the Ochocos

Local Favorite Hike

Stein's Pillar

A 4-mile round-trip hike through old-growth ponderosa forest and open meadows to a dramatic 350-foot volcanic monolith — one of the most striking geological features in the Ochoco Mountains and a local favorite for good reason.

25 min drive · Moderate · Spring – Fall
Hunting

Ochoco National Forest — Elk & Deer

The Ochocos are one of Oregon's top hunting destinations for Rocky Mountain elk and mule deer. Archery, rifle, and muzzleloader seasons available through ODFW tags. The forest starts minutes from the property — this is serious public land hunting without the crowds of more famous units.

20–40 min into Ochoco NF · Fall seasons · ODFW tags required · Verify access road conditions locally before heading out
Winter Recreation

Snowmobiling — Ochoco Mountains

When snowpack allows, the Ochoco Mountains open up some of the most uncrowded snowmobiling in Oregon. Far less traffic than the Sisters or Mt. Bachelor corridor — a genuine backcountry experience with access right from the Prineville area.

30–45 min to Ochoco Divide Sno-Park (Hwy 26) or Walton Sno-Park · Dec – March (snowpack dependent) · Oregon Sno-Park permit required Nov 15 – Apr 30 · Check road and trail conditions before heading out
Off-Road Recreation

OHV & ATV Trails

Riders have three options close by: the Green Mountain OHV Trail in the Ochoco National Forest, the Henderson Flat system on the Crooked River National Grassland, and the BLM’s Millican Valley system south of Prineville, with 255 miles of designated routes. Bring your machines — high desert riding through juniper, pine and open ridgelines.

Green Mountain · Henderson Flat · Millican Valley · Oregon ATV permit required · Check the Motor Vehicle Use Map and road conditions
One-of-a-Kind

Rockhounding — Thundereggs & Jasper

Crook County is world-famous for thundereggs — Oregon's official state rock — and picture jasper found nowhere else on earth. Pick up a rockhounding map in Prineville and spend a morning digging on public land. Kids love it. Adults get obsessed. Every June, the Prineville Rockhound Pow Wow — a tradition since the 1940s — takes over the Crook County Fairgrounds — dealers, displays, and guided dig sites all in one place.

15–45 min · Year-round · Free on public lands · Pow Wow: mid-June, Crook County Fairgrounds · Check BLM access conditions
On the Water

Prineville Reservoir — Boating & Waterskiing

The main Prineville Reservoir (separate from Ochoco) is the regional hub for powerboating, waterskiing, and wakeboarding. Warm water, consistent winds, and a full-service marina make it a natural day trip from the property.

22 min drive · Summer · Boat launch + marina on-site
Wildlife Viewing

Bald Eagle Watching

The Ochoco Reservoir corridor is a documented wintering area for bald eagles, with sightings common from the shoreline and surrounding ridgelines. Bring binoculars — November through February is peak season.

On-site & nearby · Nov – Feb · No equipment needed

Annual Events

Annual Event

Crooked River Roundup & Horse Races

One of Oregon's most beloved PRCA rodeos, held every June alongside the Western Days Festival — 150+ vendors, a parade through town, and thousands of visitors. The Crooked River Horse Races run at the same fairgrounds and are one of the only remaining horse racing events in Central Oregon. Book early — this weekend fills the region.

Annual Events · Summer

Fourth of July & Crook County Fair

Prineville does summer right. The Fourth brings a genuine small-town parade, live music, and fireworks over the high desert — none of the Bend crowds. August brings the full Crook County Fair: rodeo, livestock shows, carnival rides, and local vendors at the Crook County Fairgrounds. Two of the best weekends to be here, 10 minutes from your door.

July 4th weekend + Early August · Downtown Prineville & Crook County Fairgrounds · 10 min drive
Annual Event · Summer

Oregon Star Party

Every summer, amateur astronomers gather at Indian Trail Spring in the Ochoco National Forest for what's considered the darkest skies of any major star party in the continental United States. It's remote — about 45 miles east of Prineville on forest roads, with spotty cell service — so plan a full day or night.

~45 miles east of Prineville · Annual summer event · Indian Trail Spring, Ochoco NF
Annual Event

High Desert Heritage Festival

A fall celebration of Central Oregon's ranching, farming, and pioneer heritage held in downtown Prineville each October. Local artisans, food, live music, and a look at the culture that built this corner of the state. A natural anchor for a fall booking.

Early October · Downtown Prineville · 10 min drive

Prineville, Oregon

Nestled on the shore of Ochoco Reservoir in Central Oregon's high desert, the retreat is surrounded by wide open skies, towering ponderosa pines, and some of the most dramatic landscape in the Pacific Northwest.
