Magic on the Rogue River

It was the giant soaker wave in Galice Rapid that covered everyone in the Rocket Boat! Ken and Judy were convinced it was the direction of River Man, Tim, but no credit given to anyone other than Mother Nature!


Shortly after some of the whitewater rides, an osprey swept down immediately in front of the big, blue, boat and skillfully grasped a hefty fish. Unbelievably, a doe and her fawn swam for a river crossing, just above Rocky Riffle. The breathtaking moments will be something to treasure for a life time.


The Rogue Forest Bed and Breakfast hosted Judy and Ken before and after the magical day on the river. We know they'll be back for more as Ken was sure there was another water battle ready to break loose and Judy is ready for the big-ger stuff! It was a pleasure to share the day with you both.

Rogue River Winter Preparations

During the winter months there is a great deal of behind the scenes planning going on. We have to try new menu items out, like cast iron brownies or a different flavor of Dutch Oven cobblers and slow cooked meals, like a stuffed bison steak! There is also the behind the scenes networking, web working and the infamous paper working that takes place during the off season.

Over the week end we got to meet up with Beverly of Rogue Forest Bed and Breakfast to see her latest business venture. She is the managing operator of the Riverhouse Recreation and Retreat Center. The setting is spectacular and the lodge and screened sleeping cabins are simply inviting. The Riverhouse will offer group lodging at a reasonable price in a private setting on one of the most pristine pieces of land along the river. The land borders along Almeda Rapid and you can hear the running water from anywhere on the property. There is a large deck for outdoor dining off of the main lodge, an organic garden, dorm style showers and restrooms, and lovely landscaped river rock steps that open up to the great meadow.

Beverly has an eye for detail and a heart for delicious food. Anyone who stays with her at the Rogue Forest Bed and Breakfast or the Riverhouse Recreation and Retreat Center will experience genuine Southern Oregon Hospitality.
Thanks for a great day, Bev!
