Parents

Sometimes moms and dads need a break from family travel, and the adults-only bungalows at Brasada Ranch are the ideal place for a weekend getaway. Located in Powell Butte, just outside of Redmond, Oregon, this ranch is a place of peaceful tranquility set amid a beautiful high desert landscape.

Brasada offers a variety of lodging options, but the bungalows give couples an experience that focuses on relaxation and luxury with the utmost privacy and pampering. Bungalows are set up like duplexes on their own street on the sprawling grounds of the ranch, each with their own separate entrance and an electric golf cart for your use to explore the grounds. Each bungalow is beautifully appointed with a bed facing floor-to-ceiling windows with breathtaking views of the desert and Cascade Mountains beyond. Each unit has a sunken living room with its own fireplace, perfect for cozying up with a glass of wine in the evening or enjoying breakfast while the sun rises.

 

And speaking of breakfast, one of the personal touches you’ll enjoy as part of your stay is a picnic basket breakfast for two waiting for you at your front door each morning, packed lovingly with fresh-squeezed juices, handmade pastries and fresh granola parfaits. For other meals throughout the day, Wild Rye and Ranch House offer seasonal menus curated by Executive Chef Karl Holl, a former mushroom forager intimately familiar with Oregon’s rich bounty of ingredients. From handmade marshmallows and graham crackers for fire-side s’mores to the $50 burger dusted with edible gold powder and elevated with a slab of foie gras (worth every penny of the hefty price tag!), every detail of the farm-to-table cuisine offered at Brasada seems to be designed for couples to enjoy romance and decadence at every meal.

Guests at Brasada are able to utilize all amenities offered, from the golf course to athletic center and everything in between. The spa offers a variety of treatments for whatever relaxation or pampering you crave and, while you can always take advantage of the indoor pool, the outdoor ones are heated year-round. Guests can book an e-bike or schedule a horseback riding experience to explore the trails around the ranch, or meet with the Adventure Concierge to plan a special experience depending on your interests, such as a guided morning hike and meditation experience to nearby Spirit Rock.
