I can only agree with all the comments left before. The Red Blanket Cabin is truly heavenly. We have stayed in several different cabins in the past 4 years and those did not even come close to Steve and Janna's place. The beauty and attention to details is awesome! Awesome is not a word I toss about often but it fits in this case. You will not be disappointed. We only stayed 2 nights but we left more relaxed than any part of our 2 weeks in Oregon.
The pizza place is great, Becky's was great, Crater Lake is amazing and Steve and Janna were terrific. Their life story should be in a book. They have notched out a little paradise for themselves and their guests. Don't hesitate to book a visit but make it for more than 2 nights. You want to just sit and soak up the surroundings. And be sure to do that in the bath tubs. |

We stayed two nights at this darling cabin in July. First I want to say the photos don't do justice to the details involved in making the cabin. The woodwork is amazing!! Also, we've stayed in lots of cabins but never one stocked like this one. I think they thought of everything you might could need!!
Love the location out in the country & it yard is fixed up so great. Was enjoyable to sit outside early in the morning & read while the hummingbirds chased each other away from the feeders & flew right over your head. And I've never seen so many finches at a feeder! Was relaxing to eat lunch outside on the patio & Really neat to bathe under the stars in the tubs for two area. Must be a million stars in that sky!!
We ate at Prospect Pizza & it was good..plus it is close by & don't have to drive very far. Beckys had delicious Chicken fried steak & pies!! It was really, really good!!
We spent a complete day at Crater Lake and were blessed with a clear day there. Is AWESOME!! The boat ride on the lake is a must do & totally worth the walk back up the trail. Do bring instect spray though as you really need it.
Anybody looking for a perfect spot to stay close to Crater Lake this is it. Your hosts are friendly & helpful & their cabin is awesome. We ate at the places we did thanks to their suggestions & they were right on target! A BIG THANK YOU for a great stay at your cabin! |

We booked a 3 night stay in late June based on this cabin's proximity to Crater Lake and the Rogue River. However, upon seeing the property and experiencing Steve's and Janna's hospitality, we wished we could have stayed longer to just relax at this lovely cabin.
Steve and Janna are welcoming and considerate hosts, and even offered (and provided) a ride to a trailhead so we could leave a car at the end of the hike. We enjoyed visiting with them and they were wonderfully proactive in providing information about area activities.
The cabin and property amenities are exceptional, including such extras as gloves for cold weather (not a problem in June!), croquet, horseshoes, hammock, and an outdoor surprise that involves gazing at the stars. There were so many beautiful outdoor seating areas (felt like our own personal park) that we cut some of our plans and instead spent most of one day reading on the grounds.
The cabin itself was perfect, and in colder weather I can picture a cozy indoor vacation here too. This cabin combines the best aspects of camping (the heady aroma and feel of the woods, privacy, and star-filled nights) with modern conveniences - my idea of the perfect vacation!
The Red Blanket Cabin was our favorite destination during a 2 week tour of Oregon and Washington. Thanks, Steve and Janna! |

We arrived at Red Blanket cabin on a rainy evening in early May. The sky was grey and a damp chill was in the air but our welcome could not have been warmer. The cabin was inviting and the tranquil beauty of the place was inspiring. From that first moment, Steve and Janna made us feel perfectly at home. They have covered pretty much every angle in so far as what any guest might be looking for and it was the most wonderful place to spend a few days of our honeymoon.
We loved watching the finches and hummingbirds at the feeders and the two large outdoor bath tubs out back were great to relax in after a day exploring the awesome country around Prospect. The maps in the cabin log book proved invaluable and we enjoyed a fun time in the snow up at Crater Lake, which is about a half-hour drive.
All in all, we absolutely adored Red Blanket Cabin and are pretty much in awe of the loving detail Steve and Janna have put into the place. It is unique and beautiful; the craftsmanship is a delight and we can't wait to return. It's special.

| The Red Blanket Cabin and Steve & Janna are fabulous! The cabin is a work of art and yet so comfortable. Steve & Janna sincerely want to make sure your stay is perfect. They even brought us wild huckleberries that they picked themselves. If you traveling anywhere near, this is the place to stay. You won't want to leave. We will be back, Elaine & John Kaspar |

Thank you so much for the wonderful time we had in your amazing cabin in the weekend of August 21, 2008.
We're still talking about the details of it and your handcraft. You truly have given it a lot of thought. The cabin was like a little adventure for us of which you dream like a kid, discovering every inch of it with big eyes.
We had great barbecues, we sat outside till late playing games and watching the stars and the milky way which was so very bright in that clear sky.
We enjoyed the peace and quietness.
It has been an inspirational time.
Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to enjoy these moments with our beloved parents, who came over to visit us during our stay in the US for the period of two years.
They absolutely want to come back again before we go back to The Netherlands!
Kind regards,
Rene & Tamara

| Red Blanket Cabin was the best vacation rental that we have stayed at. We ate all our meals there out on the patio because the backyard was so relaxing. The hiking trails nearby were great. A very beautiful part of the country. |

This cabin is a work of art, and its owners are the
artists. It is not only appealing, private, and
generously supplied, outside there are flowers, bird
feeders, and delightful outdoor areas for dining and
more. We would not hesitate to return. We would
LOVE to return. You will love it too. |

| This was the most wonderful choice for our 15th anniversary celebration. We wanted a private, beautiful and convenient location to celebrate-and got much more than that! We really enjoyed the warmth and personal touches that the owners provided. We loved watching the stars at night from our firepit, and the birds in the morning. The only regret is that we had to leave! This is the nicest place we have stayed in a very, very long time. |

| The cabin is a perfect place to relax and enjoy the surrounding abundance of natural beauty. The detailed attention that the owners put into building the cabin is evident, and that level of attention allowed for our stay to be a lot of fun - cooking in their kitchen, watching movies etc. Perfect! And that's just the time in the cabin - outside the snow was piling up and looked spectacular. All in all, a wonderful few days. |

It's been a few weeks since my visit to the cabin and I am still daydreaming about it. What a gem! I found the cabin on VRBO during a search for a place away from it all and did I ever find it. This cabin was a sanctuary that I didn't want to leave. In fact, the whole area around Prospect is heaven. We spent time in Grant's Pass on the Rogue, in Jacksonville and Ashland, and a day at Crater Lake. It was splendid. I do wish we'd just had a day to ourselves at the cabin and more time to visit with our dear hosts. If you appreciate nature, quiet, outdoor adventure, SUPERB craftsmanship, a home built by hands that value every element of the land, a evening of crickets and the smell of a far off chimney, a good night's rest that wakes to a pristine dew-misted yard filled with birds, then you've just found your paradise. I am counting the days until I can return!
Thank you for restoring my soul Red Blanket Cabin!

Unfortunately you are limited to photographs to show-off the amazing work that has gone into the construction of this amazing house. It was the highlight of our trip and head and shoulders plus the rest of the body ahead of any other accomodation we've ever used. It was a pleasure and a privilege to share the house. Thanks and hopefully we'll be back. |

Steve and Janna,
Red Blanket Cabin and the surrounding area was the highlight of our trip. The cabin is beautiful, functional and VERY comfortable. The short distances to Crater Lake, waterfalls and National Forest hiking trails make it a wonderful base. The only problem is the cabin is so nice it is hard to leave it! |

Janna and Steve,
Kirk and I have just finished our 10-day journey, and one of the highlights was staying at your wonderful home - the Red Blanket Cabin.We were awe-struck at the detail of construction inside and out. When we arrived, we immediately felt a warm and comfortable feeling. Both of you were very accommodating and attentive to our needs.
Thanks again for your warm hospitality and hopefully we will see you again - either in Prospect or at one of our properties in Palm Springs.

Everyone should experience staying at the Red Blanket Cabin! It's more than a home away from home. Steve and Janna have built a beautiful cabin, stocked it with everything you would need and are sharing it for anyone! The cabin is so comfortable. The beds are comfortable. They have books filled with information about the cabin, about things to do in the area. No detail is forgotten. Slippers, coffee beans, fluffy towels, laundry soap, candles and wine! We were blessed to have stayed here and can't wait to return.

When you walk through the front door, all you can say is "WOW". There is nothing than you can think of that is not included in this cabin.

I was made to feel like I have known you both for years, not just a week. Thank you again!!!! God bless you both and I truely hope to visit your piece of heaven again. Barb G. |

Janna and Steve,
A "little" slice of heaven; the two of you have thought of every detail to make us feel very special. We have had time to explore and unwind on this short vacation here in the Prospect area.
We admire the craftsmanship and artistic detail that you have loveingly put into this home and that's what it feels like - home! Thank you for sharing Red Blanket Cabin with us.

Steve and Janna,
Your cabin is the most unique dwelling I have ever experienced. Complex yet simplistic in it's design. Thus containing elements of both eastern and western art. Simplistic as a Japanese garden yet containing complexities worthy of the Cistine Chapel. It's not often one gets an opportunity to live in a work of art. To create such a dwelling is one thing; to make it so incredibly liveable is another. I am truely amazed.

Dear Steve and Janna,
Sadly we must take leave of your beautiful little cabin today and move on to the Lassen area for the last stop on our Fall hike. To say we are in awe of what you two have done here is a gross understatement. We have spent many years hiking parts of the US and Europe, and have stayed in many country homes and cabins along the way. Never have we stayed at a place where the owners have gone to such painstaking lengths to ensure that every amenity is provided. We have enjoyed our stay here immensely. The cabin is delightful. The craftsmanship is exquisite.
Thank you very much for your suggestions regarding places to go around here. We explored a good portion of the Rogue River, all the way up to the headwaters at Boundary Springs. We watched the sunset from the top of Red Blanket Mountain, and explored some of the logging roads up there. Plenty of elk tracks and droppings, but we didn’t spot any elk. We climbed Mt. Garfield and the cone on Wizard Island, and visited some of the lesser known places in Crater Lake such as the Pinnacles. We wore ourselves out, and really enjoyed coming back to the cabin in the evening to grill steaks and eat in the cozy back yard.
Our first night here happened to coincide with the new moon, and Don enjoyed soaking in the tub in the middle of the night, gazing at the Milky Way. It’s been a long time since he has seen so many stars. What a treat! Joan and Lynne enjoyed jogging along the dirt road out back. Bob and Lynne enjoyed playing a game in the back yard that somewhat resembles croquet. All of us enjoyed the hummingbirds and finches.
