Trillium is a wilderness community and retreat center tucked into a vast valley of the Siskiyou Mountains of Southern Oregon. From ridge-top to riverside, guest are immersed in pristine nature, breathtakingly fertile and rugged landscape. The land is teeming with plant and animal life. The nights are very dark so stargazing is a treat! The property includes 1/4 mi of river, numerous ponds, big open meadows and close to a mile of property road, plus a forest trail. With 1/2 mi on the main road are a number of trailheads which access a large trail system. In the larger area, there are numerous lakes and trails. Each cabin has easy access to a composting toilet and bath or shower. Firewood is included at each cabin for the wood stove. The tap water is drinkable, otherwise there will be bottled water for you. We cannot have open fires and don't allow smoking on the property. We prefer not to have dogs. There is no cell service at Trillium. Internet is available on the south end of the property. This is an active retreat property, so there may be groups or other individuals there as well. If you are interested in hosting an event at Trillium, let us know! Ruch is our closest town. It has a bar, hardware store, grocery and other basic necessities. Jacksonville is a cute rustic town with a number of eating and shopping possibilities. Medford, about 10 minutes further has the big box stores and more diverse food options. Ashland is an artistic and creative town worth visiting. There are always lots of events.

Trillium Riversong Farmhouse

100%

(15)

Cabin · Sleeps 7

The Trillium Farmhouse is the original home on the property, built in 1930, nestled alongside the pond. Sitting high above the Little Applegate River, enjoy the river song while soaking in the wood tub or enjoying dinner on the lawn at the picnic tables. The property is currently for sale, so the Farmhouse is minimally furnished. There is a queen bed in the main bedroom; a double bed in a smaller bedroom and a single bed and desk in a third bedroom. The living room has a double pullout couch. Additional air-mattresses can be made available upon request. Indoor dining seats 5 and the outdoor picnic tables are as many as you can squish. The kitchen is moderately stocked with pots & pans, knives, cutting boards, cooking utensils, place settings for your party; with more amenities as needed upon request - so let's discuss what you need before you arrive. The bath house includes a flushing toilet, double sinks, shower and wood soaking tub. There is no TV or wifi in the house, although wifi is available in the main parking area. The main bedroom is electric baseboard heat, main house is heated by Blaze King wood stove and the bath house is radiant tile floor. Pets are discouraged due to the impact on wildlife. If you bring a pet, please add the extra "Pet Deposit" fee. Pets must be on leash outside for their safety (predators, local gun laws) and for our comfort regarding poison oak potentially coming into the house and affecting not only you, but future hipcampers. All poop must be picked up immediately (byo poop bags) and taken with you upon departure. If there is no noted impact of your pet either in the house or by residents on the land, your deposit will be happily refunded. Our 80 acres sits peacefully amid BLM woodlands, with the Sterling Mine Ditch Trail system on our west and northern borders. Our neighbors on the eastern border are out of sight on their own vast acreage. This is one of those places where you wave to everyone as you pass by driving, because we are all neighbors out here. The drive to get here pass farmlands and vistas along the entire route from Grants Pass or Jacksonville (depending on your direction). At the conclusion, there is 4 miles of well-maintained dirt road. TO DO: We are located within an hour's drive of a variety of fun adventures and sites. Local gatherings are common here in our Applegate Valley, including harvest festivals, plays, workshops, Buncom Day etc… Hiking is in our backyard, with trails linking up to the Sterling Mine Ditch Trail system. Further out you’ll find wineries ranging from casual to fancy, many kid-friendly. In Ruch is Cantrell Buckley Park, a grocery store, restaurant and bar. Applegate and Squaw Lakes are gorgeous spots for swimming, kayaking, SUP and boating. Heading towards Grants Pass you’ll find the Lindsey Lodge (aka Applegate Lodge) and many more wineries, farm stores, restaurants, white-water rafting on the Rogue River and even zip-lining! Heading in the other direction is the historic gold-mining town of Jacksonville (30-35 min), where you can enjoy the Britt Music Festival as well as restaurants, bars, shopping, and hiking trails. Major shopping & the airport is located in Medford (45 min.) Ashland (45-50 min) you’ll find the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Southern Oregon University, Lithia Park, shopping, galleries and restaurants as well as mountain biking and snowsports at Mt. Ashland. Other notable sites include the Oregon Caves, Klamath National Forest, Crater Lake, Table Rock and Mt. McLoughlin. This entire area is filled with farms of all kinds and abundant outdoor activities. It is Oregon, after all. ECOSYSTEM: The land encompasses a variety of ecosystems, from the mossy riverside, willow-bordered ponds, cedar forests, maple-lined meadows, massive evergreens rising up towards ridges of oaks and manzanita. The wild plant medicine & food on this land is vast, clean and abundant. You will very likely see deer, turkeys, a myriad of birds, our local duck family and the Western Pond Turtle, a threatened species that love our Farmhouse Pond. This land is home to a variety of other less cozy species, such as cougar, bear, fox, coyote, raccoon, bobcat and a rare rattlesnake. These critters hide out and won’t bother you if you don’t bother them.   CLIMATE: Trillium boasts a variety of microclimates. Spring-time is precious here, with blooming apple & wild plum trees in April, mild temps and a good time for campfires in the chilly nights. In the heat of the summer, the river is a refreshing spot. Autumn is a vibrant show of color, with more modest temperatures. Rains run October - April approximately.   RIVER &WATERWAYS: Prior to the 70's, the land was home to a trout farm, and thus many ponds were created in Birch Creek, meandering through the valley to feed the Little Applegate River. Birch Creek is seasonal, and is also our watershed. Please do not swim in the creek. There is a larger pebbled beach area at the end of Burdock Lane (the trail to the Little Applegate River), where you will find a kid-sized rock waterslide, and a deep area for a good dunk in the pristine, and cold, mountain water. Please mind our neighbor’s privacy upriver. The river smooths out the stones, which can make for some slippery walking. Please do be careful and keep an eye on all children near the waterways.   FIRES: While we do have several designated campfire sites, Oregon Department of Forestry updates us daily during fire season as to what days are ok/not for various fire-related activities. Because of this constantly changing status, Hipcamp fires are not allowed during fire season. Cooking stoves are allowed in designated safe areas on the kitchen deck ONLY. No cook stoves or fires of any kind are allowed outside of these designated areas when fire ban is in effect. We love our forest, and our campers, and don't want to see either of you burnt to a crisp. WATER: While we do have potable water and hot showers, our county has declared a water shortage. Due to this, we ask that if you can bring your own potable water, please do. Please be mindful of shower/sink water usage. Feel free to bathe in the river with environmentally friendly soaps. LEAVE NO TRACE: We ask you to practice radical self-reliance and bring everything that you need with you, and be prepared to pack it out with you as well. Keep your food and garbage packed tight so as not to attract wild animals or insects. WIFI/CELL SERVICE: There is no cell service on the property. The intersection of Upper Applegate Rd and Little Applegate Rd is the last cell service before the property. Phones with wifi compatability will work via our wifi. In emergencies, you are welcome to use our land-line in the Cedar Barn office.

Trillium Riversong Farmhouse

The entire site was quite magical and accommodating for the event of my son’s wedding! Absolutely perfect setting! I stayed in the Farmhouse along with my daughter in law’s parents and brother’s family. There was plenty of room for all of us. I adored the cabin and imagined how wonderful it would be to live in it for a long time! Great layout and comfortable! Other guests stayed in various accommodations which were also enchanting. The community kitchen served as headquarters for the event. It was amply equipped and easy to maneuver all the culinary preparations. Thank you Miranda for your hospitality in such a memorable locale!

Trillium Riversong Farmhouse

If you stay here, you can expect an amazing experience. The property itself was unexpectedly jaw droppingly beautiful…ponds and dragonflies and a crystal clear river and trees that you could see forever. The farmhouse was an actual work of art with intricate details in unexpected places. It was a treasure trove of delight. Miranda, the host, put so much care into the amenities. We had everything we needed and could feel that she cared about the space as well as our experience in it. If you are lucky enough to stay here, you can expect peace, comfort, and on a clear night-the best star gazing you will ever see.

A forest oasis

Trillium Riversong Farmhouse

The farmhouse at Trillium is delightful and rustic and fun, but the land it sits on is a dream. This rental comes with a river, a pond, wildlife and a vibrant forest. If you're in the area, this is the place to stay!

This place is incredible. Beautiful in so many ways. Everything is unique and the river is wonderful. Owners are wonderful, easy to talk to and very helpful. We had a group of 8 people and Miranda was so understanding through our planning phase and asked questions to make sure everything was set up wonderfully for us. She was so quick to respond and we felt so welcome. Thank you!!

Emerging with Mother Nature ♥️

Trillium Riversong Farmhouse

Trillium is the property I have been wanting to visit since 2020 and it finally happened. Miranda was such a sweet and lovely host, she is super responsive, welcoming and helpful. This land is so special to me and we spent a night at the farmhouse. You can feel the power of mother nature, and the energy of the people who once lived on this land. It’s a private and secluded experience. Thank you for hosting us Miranda. We had such a special and precious experience. 🙏🏻✨

Trillium Riversong Farmhouse

What an a amazing place! The house is really cool- rustic and old times but clean and fun. The bath house is fantastic and we all loved the wood hot tub. We saw turtles and ducks and lizards- and spent an afternoon at the beautiful Applegate Lake. The pond, the river and the chorus of frogs at night!

The bathtub omg what a treat! The sound of the river and wind blowing through the trees, trails galore and magical old growth trees sprinkle the land. Beautiful purple irises in bloom around the house, lots of wildlife, very peaceful. Lovely Rustic cabin experience! One thing I forgot was a can opener. The kitchen is stocked with a few basics. My kids enjoyed the piano as well. Easy communication via Hipcamp app. Thank you Miranda:)

Trillium Riversong Farmhouse

The farmhouse was the perfect Basecamp for our family’s adventures in the area. We also enjoyed a couple home days, exploring the land, playing in the creek, and resting in the cottage. The kitchen was great to cook in, and the washroom was magical, with a lovely shower and huge wooden soaker tub!

Peace & Serenity!

Bluebell

Wow, this cabin had everything we needed & more. The views from this hillside cabin were breathtaking. The history of the land is worth reading up on, it is sacred & you feel it. It had a fully stocked kitchen with use of propane burners/oven. Towels & bedding were available. You have full use of the community cabin/kitchen as well. The view from the compostable toilet really set you up for an incredible day. I was blown away by all of the grounds open for exploring. Not to mention the hike options nearby. They have a private pebble beach with a place to cold plunge in the river. The hosts were fantastic, the owner gave excellent recommendations. On site hosts were very friendly & helpful as well. The best escape from the city you could ask for!

A little slice of heaven...

Trillium Private Group Campout

What a beautiful property and perfect river! There's large field of shady grass to play lawn games... a flat tent camping area surrounded by trees and an amazing, retreat quality kitchen that was well stocked. This is all right next to each other Then, a little bit of a hike you find a sweet river spot... especially perfect for kids as the water is shallow and theres a rock they can slide down. And our hosts Miranda, John and their son Carter were so warm and accommodating. I can't wait to go back!

Peaceful, private and lovely

Trillium Camping on Wheels

The Meadow was peaceful and private since I was the only camper that week. It was a nice setting for my solo meditation retreat as I didn’t get any cell reception and had a nice detox from the internet and my phone. Even though it got up to 100 degrees that weekend, the spot I parked in was shaded by 3 pm so it was only unbearable for about 2 hours when I would walk down to the cool and lovely river spot. The residents were private and doing their own thing which was fine as I wanted my own privacy. Would be a great place for a few friends to camp together and explore the area.
