Definitely rustic, but not quite what we were looking for

Cam and Christine are attentive and kind hosts. The property is (as described) rustic. The setting is almost idyllic. However, there are no south-facing windows in the cabin, and minimal lighting, so being indoors was gloomy. Outdoors, there was one comfortable seat: the sunset bench, located about 75 yards down the hill. The mattress was adequate, but not comfortable. The lack of running water was something we were able to cope with, but the outdoor shower situation was (despite the hosts' best efforts) horrid. Many folks (according to the guest book) have had lovely getaways here and are eager to return. We are not among them. We very much enjoyed our time together, but spent most of it out and about exploring the hiking in the area.

Amazing place!

Wow what a relaxing beautiful place this is. We enjoyed every minute of it. We had tons planned for the weekend but we didnt get out due to it being so relaxing and rewarding at the cabin and it’s surroundings! We were content with looking at all of the cool stuff, listening to Cams music, cooking, reading, hammocking and the sun shower was a blast and soothing. The outhouse was absolutely adorable and clean and fresh. When you come bring a little souvenir to leave in the cabin. I brought painted rocks. For sure we will come again! Thank you Cam and Christinetou two are amazing!!!

Nice stay in the high desert

Really enjoyed our stay in Oregon's high desert. Rural property that takes you back to how your grandparents lived. Part of the charm is roughing it a bit, and being able to disconnect. Close enough to town for the essentials, and a walk away from cell service if you must. Cam and his wife were great. Met us at the property and showed us around. Had everything prepared when we arrived, and had answered our questions in advance. If you want to truly get out of town and enjoy serenity, this is the place! Thank you Cam!

Squirrelville Cabin

The location of the property is wonderful. That said the cabin could use some improvements like a fan for it gets pretty warm inside at night and currently the shower system consists of "sun bags" hung from a hook, something less than ideal.

A lovely retreat

What a cozy cabin in a beautiful area- we had such a fun and relaxing time here! For cross-country skiers- there are a couple official sno-parks nearby or you can just put your skis on at the door of the cabin and venture up the road and onto the old logging access roads. We also loved hiking and soaking in the hot springs at Hart mountain and playing board games around the wood stove. Thanks Cam and Christine for your hospitality and gifting us homemade pie on Thanksgiving, such a treat!

Why they chose this property

Back of Beyond is the perfect jumping off point for adventure and exploration! Private, fenced, with no other full time residents living just off of Camas Prairie. We fell in love with this place and decided to leave Portland, and build our dream here!
Hike over 50 miles of maintained trails that run the length of the Warner Mountains in Oregon, and extend into California.
Explore the Great Basin semi-arid desert and the Warner Valley to the East.
Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge has the largest remaining herds of antelope in North America. Enjoy the secluded hot springs on top of Hart Mountain, or at Hunter's Hot Springs in Lakeview. Ride mountain trails up to 8,000 ft. Rock hound for Oregon Sunstones and Jasper.
Fish for native red band trout (like Dolly Vardon). Fly-fishing on Deep Creek and Vee Lake, or lure fishing for crappie and bass in the Warner Lakes, as well as Drew's and Cottonwood Reservoirs, and Dog Lake.
Bird watch at the foot of Hart Mountain in the Warner Valley, where a series of lakes and wetlands form part of the Western Flyway for migrating birds. There are trails and blinds for bird watchers.
Discover the largest concentration of Native petroglyphs in the entire state of Oregon, on and around Hart Mountain. Native Peoples have lived in this area for over 10,000 years.
This is Cowboy country as well, and sometimes there are cattle drives up or down our road, depending on the season.
Wildlife viewing and photography opportunities are rich here!! Lakeview is called the "Hangliding Capital of the West", and a designated launch site is close to us.

What makes this property unique

Rest and relaxation, peace and quiet, very few people, no light pollution for night sky star viewing. 300 days of sunshine! An unspoiled touch of "The Old West" with many adventure opportunities!!
Private sunsets from our bench!
