Setting

Some privacy

Located in the upper Ochoco Valley under large ponderosa pines, the Ochoco Ranger Station is a fully electric, two-story historic house built in 1940 by the Civilian Conservation Corps. Accommodating up to eight guests, the rental features three bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, a dining room, full and half baths with flush toilets, a hot shower, and a two-car garage. Situated near Lookout Mountain, it sits directly at the trailhead for the 8-mile Lookout Mountain Trail and is seven miles from fishing, hiking, and paddling at Walton Lake.

Getting there: From Prineville, Oregon: Travel approximately 13 miles east on Highway 26. Turn right at the junction to Ochoco Ranger Station (County Road 123), and continue for approximately 7.5 miles. Turn left onto Forest Service Road 2610, which is just past the restrooms on your left. Drive past Ochoco Creek and then make an immediate left turn. The Ochoco Ranger Rental House will be the first structure on your right (the address is 33689 Ochoco Ranger Station Loop). Please park in the garage or driveway.
