Wonderful little home right by a creek and only 30 minutes to get onto the mountain

The place was clean and bed comfortable. There was a nice place outside beside the water. But besides that, the outside area was overgrown. The reason for the lower review is because the water had a orangey brown color to it. The shower was stained with it and we would not get in it or felt comfortable to use any of the water. So we left a day early so we could get showers somewhere else.

My husband and I stayed here for an anniversary trip to Crater Lake. We arrived in the evening. Check-in was easy, the place was immediately inviting. We loved the interior, and the location was perfect - tons to do in that area! BUT, the negative is the exterior did not appear to be maintained at all. There were tall weeds all around the exterior of the house and overgrowing the sidewalk. The landscaping looked nothing like the well manicured pictures in the photo listing. There was a wasp nest in the siding of the house, and my husband was stung when grilling (after dark - it was a n active hive!) While we understand this is a rural setting, the area immediately around the house should be trimmed and maintained to avoid insects building nests near the house. There was also a stagnant pond on the property making the mosquito pressure unbearable in the evening. In summary - great interior, great location, horrible outdoor experiences. The place has great potential if the yard is brought back under control. In its given state, however, it was nowhere worth the cost - not even given its location. I hope they clean up the yard - if so, the place could be a real gem.

This duplex is indeed the place to stay. It feels remote with a creek in back yet it is a bit south of Crater Lake on 62 so in between two restaurants that serve good food. There are also little grocery stores nearby that have supplies for cooking. What a lovely get away spot!
