Owl Creek Cabin is a secluded mountain getaway in the Southern Cascades east of Ashland Oregon. It's a perfect place for a creative retreat where solos or couples can leave the distractions of their everyday world behind. You'll be greeted when you arrive, walk a short trail to the cabin, and be shown how to use some of its features such as the outdoor firepit, grill, and attic sleeping loft. In snow season (December to May) you'll need all-wheel drive or front-wheel drive with all-weather tires. The roads and driveway to the cabin are plowed and kept in good shape but there will be packed snow on the road at our elevation - 4600 feet. Please arrive by 8 pm. Enjoy a glass of wine or mug of cocoa around the fire pit (NOTE: September through May we provide a propane fire pit), a great way to unwind, relax and appreciate the nature around you. The cabin is stocked with dishes, and a mini kitchen with a toaster oven, microwave, refrigerator, electric kettle, and coffeemaker. A picnic table and gas grill with a skillet and saucepan allow outside cooking and dining. The outdoor soaking tub is open June thru Oct. The cabin is equipped for comfort and is surrounded by forestland with miles of trails. Nearby Howard Prairie Lake and Lake of the Woods offer boating, kayaking, paddle boarding, and fishing with hiking trails around. It’s a scenic drive to beautiful Lake of the Woods on the way to Crater Lake National Park. Situated on five wooded acres, the cabin is next to a seasonal creek and adjacent to open BLM forested lands. You can hike out the door or drive 10 miles to catch the Pacific Crest Trail, or the trailhead to Grizzly Peak with views of the Rogue Valley and the Siskiyou Mountains. Trail maps are provided. Owl Creek Cabin offers beauty, solitude, fresh air, and plenty of wildlife. The cabin accommodates up to 4 guests.Located in the mountains above Ashland, Oregon, this, cozy private cabin is a welcoming getaway for solos, couples, and families looking for a cabin in a natural setting, or an inspiring retreat. The cabin, surrounded by Douglas Fir and a conifer forest, offers solitude, fresh air, and plenty of wildlife. A firepit with Adirondack chairs functions year-round.  The outdoor clawfoot tub is wonderful for an outdoor soak. WiFi speed is suitable for basic use but not for streaming movies and games. Mobile phones connect through WiFi. The cabin is non-smoking. Children 8 and up are welcome.   Our 5-acre property is adjacent to public land managed by BLM and near recreational areas with miles of trails including the Pacific Crest Trail, 10 miles away. Nearby Howard Prairie and Hyatt Lakes offer fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, and hiking trails. Local trail guides are provided. Nearby Willowdale Ranch offers guided horseback trail rides with a spectacular view of Mt. McLoughlin. A scenic 20-minute drive will take you to Lake of the Woods where you can dine, hike, kayak, and fish. Crater Lake National Park is 1-1/2 hours away. A 40-minute drive will take you back to Ashland for shopping, dining, and OSF plays. You’ll be greeted when you arrive and briefly introduced to some of the cabin's unique features, including attic stairs to the windowed sleeping loft. The coffee cart kitchen is equipped with a refrigerator/freezer, coffee maker, electric tea kettle, toaster oven, and microwave. An outdoor gas grill with a skillet and saucepan allows grilling and limited cooking. Dishes, linens, and bedding are provided.

This place was perfect for our anniversary retreat! We loved how beautiful the cabin was and the magic of the solitude and privacy! It was romantic and the cabin gave us all that we wanted for a weekend away together! It snowed while we were up there which added to the beauty of the forest and made for a really enjoyable stroll through the forest. Host was excellent before and during our stay. We will definitely be back!

Really lovely, and just the quiet retreat we needed. Perfectly set up for the kind of deep creative discussion we needed to do! (And I was able to relax with a good mystery read, written by our host!)

Cozy Winter Wonderland
Kit was a wonderful host! We enjoyed our stay and had a great time at his cabin. The property is gorgeous. This would be the perfect weekend away for winter or summer. We loved watching the snow fall outside our cozy cabin. Kit filled the cabin with thoughtful personal touches that made our stay great. Hope to return soon!

Loved the property and Kit was an amazing host. We spent 4 nights in the cabin for Christmas and Kit sent us a handful of special Christmas events in the area a couple weeks before to help us fill our time with fun exciting activities.

Charming Forest Cabin
My husband and I needed a place of solitude to mentally recover from a challenging year. Kit’s place was perfect. The cabin is secluded from the main house and it’s quiet. Perfect for meditation, writing, reading, and overall relaxation. The short walk to the cabin made us feel more secluded, which was what we wanted. Kit provided us with a cart to haul our luggage. My husband and I appreciated this, since we had several bags to carry. Sleeping in the loft was a treat. I have back problems and I found the mattress to be comfortable. We enjoyed the coffee and hot chocolate provided, while sitting around the campfire. Kit was kind and personable. He made sure we had everything we needed and made excellent recommendations. Lake of the Woods is worth visiting. We plan on visiting again in the near future.

We arrived and after the tour Kit gave us I asked about where the outdoor tub was. He informed my husband and I that it was broken, and that he can get it fixed but he didn't want to pay for it. I was very upset almost immediately because that is the entire reason why I booked this place. I did not even look at the interior of the cabin. I just wanted the tub. When we unpacked and expressed this to Kit he said that he had delivered on everything in the listing. I would disagree from the six photos with the tub in it. He then told us if we didn't want to stay here he could fully refund us and we can go somewhere else. Hardly the thing we wanted to do on Friday night of our anniversary, especially when this stay is 30 minutes from town. He then told us that if we wanted a soaking experience WE should pay for the spa in town ($45 each for 1 hr 30min). Eventually, after about two hours of talking with Kit in person and through Hipcamp messaging Kit refunded us $90 to go the spa. I wasn't going to write a review, but I told my coworkers about my experience and they were appalled. And I will say dealing with Kit tainted our anniversary. I shouldn't have to advocate for myself for two hours to get what I paid for. The spa was okay, but 1 hour and 30 minutes was really not comparable to a tub in the woods. I read some other reviews and it looks like other people have had the same experience with kit. Note: After our booking Kit has updated the listing to show that the tub is closed.
