About this property
Five Minutes from Crater Lake National Park
The Old Farmhouse is just 5 minutes away from entrance to Crater Lake National Park. This is just about as close as you can get to Crater Lake itself. The Farmhouse is situated by open pastures and with an unobstructed view to the Cascade Mountain Range. Enjoy cooking in the full kitchen, or by playing Pool or Chess as you relax on vacation. The Farmhouse is close to other hiking trails, Kimbal Park, the Wood River & much more.
Kayaks are also available for our guests, however guests are responsible for transporting them to and from water. Have fun, but remember to always wear a life jacket.
We ask that you please wash your dishes, pots, and pans if you cook, and leave the kitchen as you found it before your check out. Due to extreme fire danger there are to be no open flames of any kind. This means no campfires, nor propane/charcoal grills. Also we please ask that you not place any food or drinks on the pool table, or its sides. Thank you for consideration.
Disclosure: There is a single security camera installed on one of the trees in front of the Old Farm House, with the camera facing the front door and entrance to the property. There are no cameras inside the home, nor elsewhere on the property.

Closest place to Crater Lake NP south entrance to stay, other than staying inside the park. Clean, comfortable beds, A/C, drip coffee maker, ceiling fans and full kitchen. Everything you need for a great Crater Lake visit. We would stay here again.
We enjoyed our stay. Property was as advertised, well stocked kitchen, clean and comfortable spaces, peaceful, and a short drive to Crater Lake. My only comment is that the water pressure in the shower and kitchen sink could be better.
My friend and I, along with my dog, stayed here for a couple nights and really enjoyed it. It’s in a great location on the road that leads directly to Crater Lake, and since I’m directionally challenged, that was a bonus. Xena really enjoyed running around in the back yard and just sitting out there and taking in all the smells.
A charming, rustic house in the tiny town of Fort Klamath. A fabulous view of the mountains awaits you out the back door. There’s also a wonderful small store almost across the street with a great selection of produce, sandwiches, beer, wine, and coffee.
Centrally located to Crater Lake (20-25 min to visitor’s center) as well as Klamath Falls (40-45 min) for the best dining options in the area.As noted in other reviews, the market located directly across the street from the property is fantastic with lots of healthy and organic options, although pricey (supply and demand).Beautiful location adjacent to ranch land provides the perfect backdrop for gorgeous sunsets.
I stayed here with 2 old friends from high school for a fishing trip and had a great time. Mary Anna was very responsive to questions and great with local info. The house was clean and comfortable with a well stocked kitchen and the pool table was a huge hit!
House was clean with comfortable accomodations. Great location. Enjoyed visiting with the neighboring cows and watching the sunsets over the Cascades. I would rent this house again. Thank you!
Great property if you really want to get away from it all. Very convenient to Crater Lake NP. This is an old farmhouse, with a bit of a funky layout, but there's plenty of space for a family to spread out and all of the essentials are there. Only note, and the host clearly informed us at the time we booked, is that this is a very rural area. No nearby restaurants or shopping of any size. Bring everything you need, but that also means you'll enjoy peace and quiet - just cows and stars.

The cabin was great and quite well located. It's next to open range with cattle and makes for memorable sunsets over the local mountain ranges. Situated right outside Crater Lake (which is an incredible National Park), to reiterate, location is ideal. The cabin has two bedrooms, a family room (with DVDs for the TV), a kitchen (with pots, pans, etc.), dining room, and a billiard
room (yes, we shot pool which was a blast!). Would definitely recommend and hope to return...
We were really amazed by this property, which had many more charms than were apparent in the pictures. One has a spacious farmhouse all to oneself, including game room with fully stocked pool table, sunny dining room, multiple outdoor eating areas, and a view straight out across meadows ringed by Crater Lake and surrounding mountains.
Perfect location to enjoy all winter has to offer from snowshoeing at Crater Lake to hiking around Klamath falls to skiing at Willamette. It was great to come back to a warm home with comfortable furniture. Beds were cozy. The bathroom was on the other side of the house and the shower had low pressure with lots of hot water. Friendly folks in town.
Booked a weekend to reconnect with friends and visit Crater Lake, couldn't have asked for a better location. We made use of the pool table, DVD collection and loved spending time in the outdoor spaces on the property. House was clean and orderly, and the host was quick to respond to any questions we had. We will definitely be back!
We enjoyed our stay at the farm house. The sunsets were gorgeous ! We were as close as possible to Crater Lake, which was convenient for us. The pool table was fun, and we wish we had more time in town to play the games, like chess, at the house. The entire home-living areas, bedrooms, kitchen and bath-were very clean. The air conditioning worked great, although we didn’t need it all day and night. The furnishings were cozy and comfortable and clean, even though they weren’t brand new. That’s ok! The art work was delightful-perfect for a farm Home. We enjoyed our stay and would come back. Wish we could have stayed longer!
We enjoyed meeting the owners and talking about the history of the home just a bit, and some other homes they own in the area. I also had several phone conversations before we came and they were such helpful hosts, preparing us for our vacation. I would recommend this home again.
What a great place to stay and close to Crater Lake. Super easy checkin, great communications from the host, checked to make sure everything was good and had a great conversation. Great location, loved the pool table, would stay here again!
