Steamboat Inn
Located in Southern Oregon, Steamboat is closed to the public every year from November until March. The entire property is available for rent during that time. Steamboat Inn is only at 1100 feet and rarely impacted by winter conditions although the elevation rises quickly heading upriver providing easy access to snow. We have river access on both sides of the river, are surrounded by forest - both old growth and burned areas, close to many waterfalls, and a hot springs. The property is available as a location or as a base camp and can provide food if needed.
