If sleek, Scandi-style bungalows, private hot tubs open to the stars, and panoramic views of the snow-dusted Cascade Mountain Range sound like the perfect backdrop for a getaway, consider Brasada Ranch — a modern and luxe retreat in Oregon’s high desert playground.
Location
Brasada Ranch is set amid 2,000 acres of stunning high desert landscape in Powell Butte, Oregon, outside the popular ski destination of Bend.
The resort is less than 20 miles from both Roberts Field Redmond (RDM) and Bend Municipal airports (KBDN), and between a three and four-hour drive from Portland.
The Vibe
Refined-yet-relaxed modern mountain luxury
Rooms & Suites
The words “ranch” and “cabin” might evoke rustic lodgings. But from the Ranch house and bungalows to the 1-4 bedroom cabins, all of Brasada Ranch’s roomy accommodations have elevated interiors — with sumptuous beds, high-end furnishings, contemporary gas fireplaces, and stylish decór. (Many also feature their own private hot tubs open to the skies.)
16 modern and airy Cascade bungalows are Brasada’s most recent offerings. Sleek, contemporary, and design-driven, the Scandinavian-designed bungalows promote relaxation and pampering with private hot tubs in enclosed back patios so you can gaze up at the stars as you sip a glass of Oregon Pinot. Featuring clean lines, sunken living rooms, high-end finishes, and curated art, the streamlined spaces are adults-only, but pets are permitted in some.
At the front of each bungalow is a patio and chairs for taking in the views of the serene adults-only Cascades pool and panoramic views of the mountains. They’re ideal spots for sunsets, when you can watch the caldera’s blue mountain peaks pop against a fiery orange sky.
The Cascade Bungalows also offer guests a heightened hospitality experience, with luxe perks like your own golf cart for getting around the vast property, and a delicious breakfast of coffee, pastries, fruit, eggs, and juice delivered each morning.
Dining
The resort has two on-site restaurants led by chef Karl Holl: the Ranch House serves casual, family-friendly all day, while Range Restaurant & Bar is more upscale and showcases PNW ingredients like Columbia River steelhead, local chicories, and Oregon elk. Both restaurants boast sweeping views of the Cascades, and are also fantastic spots to watch the sun set by the warmth of a fire pit.
The resort also has a general store, which is a great option for grabbing picnic supplies before you head out for a hike, and for those staying in cabins with kitchens or kitchenettes to stock up on essentials.
