Brasada Ranch

Several family members met there in February for long weekend. We had a 4 bedroom cabin which was perfect for the eight of us. The cabin was very sound proof we couldn’t hear anything from one room to the other. The kitchen was set up perfectly for us cooking big batches of food for the crowd. Several of us used the spa for massages, the spa was very nice. The food at the ranch House was also very good, we had to try the s’mores, yummmm. I highly recommend Brasada ranch for family gatherings. To top it all off the views were absolutely breathtaking, specially when the stars came out at night.

We stayed in one of the cabins at Brasada Ranch, and it was lovely. The cabin itself is very comfortable and the hot tub gave us a great place to relax after a day fishing. Check-in was easy and the staff were always pleasant and helpful. We didn't have a chance to use the golf course or any of the other amenities, but they look very appealing. This would make a great place for a family reunion. We look forward to returning!

Let me start off by saying Brasada Ranch is visually stunning. The setting is spectacular. The land is rustic with amazing views of the Cascades. We stayed in the Ranch House in a spacious suite. The staff at check in and in the activity center were friendly & attentive. We had massages & everyone in the spa was wonderful. We had a couple of issues with our room. Nothing big, just things that I would have not expected from a resort of this caliber. The only outlet in the bathroom did not work. I had to dry my hair in the entryway of the suite. The shower head sprayed at random angles (maybe it was clogged), which made it hard to rinse off. There wasn't a safe in the room. We got a map of the trails on the grounds from the front desk. We attempted a 3.5 mile trail after dinner. Mid way through, the path just ended. We had no idea where to go. After almost 2 hours and 6.2 miles, we made it back to the Ranch House. It turns out there are new streets that are not on the trail map. It hadn't been updated. Again, nothing big, but small details were missed. Had these been the only things, I would have had no problem giving the resort a 4 out of 5. BUT (you knew that was coming, right?) I have to give it a 3 because of our experiences at the Ranch House restaurant. We ate there when we first arrived, not realizing it was the only dining option available this time of year. The food was fine, but thats about all I can say about it. We ordered a dish that was missing an ingredient when it was brought to our table. When we asked about it, our server said they don't make it like that anymore. Okay, no big deal. We ordered breakfast from there the next morning. I chose pancakes, mainly because they had apples & walnuts on top. When my husband brought it to the room, there were just 2 pancakes in a to go box. No apples or walnuts. Not even butter. Guess what? They don't make it that way anymore. How about changing the menu or telling guests that when they order? The final nail in the coffin was on our last morning there, we again ordered breakfast to take back to our room. This time we double checked everything & made sure all of the items listed actually came with the meal. This time the food was good! No issues until we reviewed our bill at check out. We had been charged $50 for 2 oatmeals and a croissant sandwich. When my husband questioned it, the girl at the desk said the restaurant must have "keyed something in wrong". Our actual bill was $27. I am not sure how pressing the wrong button resulted in a $23 overcharge, but apparently it did. Bottom line, I would stay here again because of how gorgeous the resort was. I would avoid the Ranch House restaurant at all costs though, even if it were the only place to eat.

We booked a mini vacation not knowing what to expect and were delighted with our entire experience at Brasada Ranch. The accommodations were more than adequate and even catered to our pooch when we ended up bringing her along. We plan to return soon!

I stayed in a suite at the Ranch house - on the lower level. This was awesome because you can walk outside from the bedroom onto the patio where the firepit and hot-tub are. So don't forget a swimsuite. Rooms are very spacious. Lots of cupboard space in the dining area if you are staying for awhile - kitchenware is not provided but you can bring picnic supplies and have plenty of space to store everything. Bath products smell like sage desert heaven. The general store is adorable - check it out, you can buy the bath products there to take home with you.
