Testimonials

Sometimes the Magic of a place is not what you see, but what you feel. Many of our wonderful guests have recorded their thoughts, impressions and observations in our guest book after staying at Arrowhead Ranch Cabins. As you will see their personal experiences vary widely but a common theme among them is the quiet restfulness the ranch provides. Here are a few of our guests' comments...

"Thank you for sharing the experience of living on your historic ranch. We appreciate your commitment and dedication to preserving these historic buildings and the environment. Congratulations on integrating all the modern conveniences into these historic structures - thanks for providing the WiFi and not a television! We look forward to returning and will not hold you to an expectation of ALL sunny September days and an amazing morning sunrise and rainbow on the morning of departure. Thank you and all the best in all of your endeavers." ~ Richard and Patricia, Eugene, Oregon.

"We truly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful setting. From Mt. Howard to Buckhorn, we soaked in the Wallowa County landscape. The Cowboy Poetry gathering at Hell's Canyon Mule Days was an unexpected plus! Coming home to peaceful, snug, Arrowhead Ranch made it all perfect. Thank you!" ~ Pat and Bart, Eugene, Oregon.

"What a wonderful place you have! We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay - both wandering around your beautiful property and our excursions around the area. Thank you for the bonfire - what a fun way to end our few days here! We'd love to come back in winter for a different experience. Thanks again." ~ Brett, Sue, Patrick, and Danielle.

"Just a few words to say, in a poor English way, how pleasant was our stay in your beautiful cabin. It was exactly what we had in mind when we planned to visit Oregon. And we found your home by internet, it's a real lucky surprise. Thank you very much for your kindness, your hospitality, and your beautiful home". ~ Clemens and Maxime. Paris, France

"What a beautiful facility. We could not have imagined it more so, and what a nice way to re-establish our friendship. You took such nice care of us during our stay making us feel like your home was ours. Thank you for making it so difficult to leave. We will be back"! ~ Mike, Lynette and Rebecca. Nampa, Idaho

"We came for the Biker Rally but would have been very content to never leave the ranch. The landscape out our cabin door was more spectacular than anything Thomas Kincade could have painted. All the wildlife in your yard and the peace and serenity that comes over you here, this place has the DNA of God all over it! Thank you for a wonderful and relaxing weekend. I didn't even miss the television set, that's how cool this place is". ~ Kirk and Leslie. Julietta, Idaho

"Another wonderful stay in The Wallowas. I feel lucky to have finally discovered this beautiful part of Oregon, and to be able to stay in this great spot you have. Thanks for all the things you do to make this a comfortable and peaceful place to stay. See you next year"! ~ Nancy. Portland, Oregon

"Thank you for your hospitality and warm welcome. Your stewardship of the farm would make Mr. Haas pround! We truly appreciate your extra effort to welcome wildlife into our experience. The number of birds in various species was spectacular. Diane named the two young bucks Mutt and Jeff and caught the velvet-covered button bucks playing around in the white equipment barn - hysterical! Our last night was blessed by an air-cleansing thunderstorm that rolled in over the mountain. We will send you pictures taken after the storm that are surreal in the amber orange glow of twilight". Jim and Diane. Mt. Angel, Oregon.

"For our round trip vacation through Washington and Oregon we searched for a neat place in Eastern Oregon. On the internet we found Arrowhead Ranch - What a Luck for Us! We did not expect to find such a lovely and beautiful place like this very special one. From the first moment of arrival we were surrounded by an atmosphere of hospitality, kindness, and peace of mind. We really enjoyed the garden, the deer and birds and the wonderful mountains close by. Whenever we would have a chance to return to the U.S., we would love to stay again at Bruce and Wendy's place. Thank you!" ~ Mattthias, Antje, Saskia, Martin. Zwickau, Germany.

"We so enjoyed your lovely retreat and thank you so much for your hospitality. We enjoyed our train ride in Elgin and Valley Bronze in Joseph, but most of all we enjoyed the quiet and peace here. We will definitely be back and next time maybe we'll just plan to relax here. Thanks again - See you soon!" ~ Julie and Bill. Pasco, Wa

"You can truly "stop and smell the roses" here at your home. We truly enjoyed the quiet, serene surroundings your home offers. Being "city folks", we all enjoyed listening to the birds, watching the deer and just enjoying Mother Nature at Her best. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us! We'll definitely be stopping by again. Best of luck to you and your family, we want you to be here for us in the future! ~ Tom, Nancy, Mike and Debbie. Las Vegas, NV

"Thanks for a wonderful four days here in heaven! We have enjoyed the hiking in the mountains and taking in all the beautiful scenery, but most of all coming back to the cabin and relaxing. The memories will never be forgotten, especially in the hustle and bustle of the city life. We will just think back to the most beautiful place on earth!" ~ Rich, Judy, and Curt. Middletown, MD

"Changing a flat tire on the Zumwalt Prairie at sundown - a great way to end a perfect vacation! This place is incredible. You were delightful hosts and the cabin is beautiful.

This place is Awesome!" ~ Patricia, Howard, Alex, and Olivia. Seattle, WA

"We enjoyed staying in the Haas (Ruby Peak) cabin very much. It's a place we won't forget; A heaven on earth. The nice garden and its surroundings, with the deer, the hummingbirds, and the snow-capped mountains filled our hearts with serenity. We found the cabin to be very comfy and cozy, with the hand-picked flowers, the rocking chair and sunny porch. If we will ever come back to the U.S. A., we will sure know where to go!" ~ The Schavemaker Family, Netherlands.

"Your beautiful place lends a peace, and grants one's soul respite and a retreat of clarity. Thank you for sharing this truly remarkable jewel. The quiet and sounds of the birds brought me a contentment that I often yearn for during the busy days of life, and I look forward to a life that encompasses such a special core. I feel blessed to have been a brief part of the "life" of this place. May it continue to breathe peace. Thank you for the sanctity of this marvelous place". ~ Jack and Erika. Gig Harbor, WA
