Authentic ranch with beautiful views

A grandma, an auntie and three teenage boys stayed overnight for a visit to the Goldendale Observatory, and we were thrilled with the accommodations. The house was charming, the kitchen was well equipped for us to cook and bake luscious dinner, the beds were very comfortable, the house was spotlessly clean. We all loved it! Highly recommended.

Amazing place

We rented the main cabin for a family gathering. The place was clean, had everything you need for a weekend stay, equipped with two refrigerators, a coffee maker, various pots and pans and even a crockpot. Perfect getaway with beautiful postures and views of two mountains, close enough to Goldendale when you can buy groceries. We fell in love with this place and will come back. Thank you for your hospitality.

Family gathering

Family met from all over the country and world(literally). My granddaughter was riding in the Glenwood rodeo Sunday. It is just a short beautiful drive to get there. Unfortunately we were just at the house one night. But will remember it for the future!!

Country Get-a-way!

Better than I expected! We loved the area, wide open spaces and lots of wildlife viewing. The house is a ranch house, but was equipped with everything we needed from cooking to all the amenities required for a 3 night stay. Lots of beds to choose from, tv with apps, and lots of wandering space. My wife’s parents are farmers from China and got the opportunity to watch baling of hay, they were thrilled. Definitely a place I would recommend for a country getaway. Oh yeah, night sky full of stars.

We loved our stay!

The Steelhead Ranch was the perfect getaway for our large family! The area is beautiful and the property is lovely. The home was clean and the kitchen was well appointed for cooking large family meals. We loved sitting on the front deck enjoying the view of Mt Hood and Mt Adams while watching the sun set!

Peaceful location

Great for a family vacation. The people and pup loved it equally. Well equipped for staying in, yet close enough to wineries and other sights.

Great Place with Deer Friends

This place was amazing! A bit off the beaten path but that just adds to the charm. We saw deer (sometimes very up close) every single day of our stay which the kids loved. The mountain views are great. Plenty of beds for everyone to stretch out (just watch the bottom of the twin in the master-it's a toe stubbing magnet). Plenty of dishes for making and serving meals. Giant dining table great for games and sorting. I would definitely rent the place again! Great communication from owner-very open and helpful.

Quiet relaxation

I had an extended stay with my wife and kids and we loved every minute of it. The house was warm, comfortable, and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The views and the peaceful silence were amazing. Jack went above and beyond with great communication and even had the driveway plowed twice during a snowstorm. Would stay here again in an instant.

Christmas at the Ranch

This was such a great little getaway for our family in the times of uncertainty. There is so many little “fishing” details and it’s a comfortable space for all. Would def go back during the summer season!

When You Really Need to Get Away

The Steelhead Ranch is clean, comfortable, and well appointed. It is private and remote-- truly the antidote for civilization. My family had the opportunity to meet Jack, the owner and fly fishing guru, and he is a great guy. Already planning a larger group for our next stay in the spring.

Peace, Tranquility, and a view, clear and wide to every horizon

I may end up at the Pearly Gates when all is said and done, and if Jack Mitchell's Steelhead Ranch is on the other side of them, I won't be the least bit surprised.

Great secluded place!

We had a wonderful winery getaway. We really enjoyed the peace and quiet. There was plenty of room for everyone. We enjoyed the cozy middle sized cabin! Thanks for sharing your oasis.

Perfect Getaway!

We had a fantastic time. There were 7 of us and we didn’t even need to use two cabins. So plenty of space. Views were gorgeous. If you are looking for a getaway, this is a perfect place. What made it a 5 star experience for us was hospitality. House kitchen was stocked beyond imagination and owner was always a text away.
