Come and stay with us at our beautiful 3 bedroom cabin that is located at the base of Mount Jefferson State Natural Area. If you've never been to Mount Jefferson State Natural Area, you're missing out. Mount Jefferson is a national natural landmark with a rich history right in our back yard! Five hiking trails allow exploration of rare geology and plant communities, including a child-friendly Track trail and a strenuous scramble along the mountain's ridgeline. Overlooks offer vistas into neighboring states. Picnic grounds with shelter combine scenic views with cool summer temperatures and breezes. One of the best parts is that there are NO fees to enjoy the park.

We are located just very close to town with all paved access, just minutes to downtown West Jefferson (about 1 mile to the Super Wal-Mart). When you stay at A Wooded Escape you will feel like you have truly escaped the hustle and bustle of work, everyday life and all the noise and lights of a city.

All was lovely at the cabin. Only suggestion would be to provide a measuring cup in the kitchen, specify clearly that toiletries include bath soap and shampoo, and that guests should provide their own hairdryer as well. None of this was a major problem

We loved this property and will return. We were disappointed that the oven was unusable. The it was smoking and very dirty so we cleaned it. This didn?t help we called Stacy who sent someone promptly and discovered that the element was out? She offered to go get a toaster oven but we told her not to as this would not help our family if 6 with our meals. We used the grill as much as possible but it was an inconvenience. But? aside from maybe updating those appliances ? it was perfect t and we will return!!!!

We loved our stay at A Wooded Escape. Very conveniently located, lower driveway large enough to get turned around in, and fun amenities such as the hot tub and pool table.
