Welcome to the first step in booking your stay to experience Blue Elk Ranch. This is a property unlike most any other. Sitting just seven miles west of Carlton in the heart of Oregon's wine country this ranch is part of 80 acres of property set among pristine hills, forests, and some incredible views. *Bookings at this property come with multiple free wine tastings for the group.*

The single level main house boasts five bedrooms with a king in the master and four queens in each of the other bedrooms. There is an additional bunk house that has another three queen beds, one full, and one twin bed. The bunk house also has a kitchen, seating, and entertainment area. It is perfect for kids, young adults, or room for larger groups. With almost all of the bedrooms and bathrooms on a single level this is a perfect property to enjoy for most any group.

As you enter the main house you are greeted with an open and connected layout with the kitchen sitting in the center. Surrounding the kitchen is the living room, dining, room, foyer, and billiard area. Every room throughout the home has been newly furnished and designed to create a comfortable and memorable experience. You can immediately tell how much care and effort went into setting up this incredible property for families and groups.

The wonderful interiors are just one aspect of this extraordinary property. Outside there are over 80 acres to roam and explore. Enjoy relaxing to a drink or a snack out front in one of the Adirondack chairs. You will find a number of picnic tables and BBQ's near the home as well. Around the property you will find swings, games, a covered dog run and so much more. Just down a short path from the houses there is a small covered gazebo and fire-pit. From the clearing you can see some of the valley, hills, and Mt. Hood beyond. Whether you want to do it all, or relax and do nothing, there is something for everyone here. Please note, you are about a mile off of NW Meadowlake Rd at the end of the the gravel driveway.

We truly want you to enjoy your time and make some wonderful memories with your group. TWe have relationships with all of our neighbors so please respect noise levels from 10:00 pm to 8:00 am. While the noise levels aren't ultra sensitive, however this property property includes a noise alert monitoring system in order to ensure that neighborhood noise levels are respected. Again, please realize we want every group to enjoy their time, laugh, have fun and make memories. These devices are only to ensure noise levels don't reach a threshold that bothers our neighbors. Also, please note there is no electronic video surveillance within the interior of the home.

Special Notes: The driveway from the main road is gravel and about a mile long. In the winter, if it snows, it is recommended to have an All wheel drive or 4 wheel drive vehicle.

PET FRIENDLY: **There is a $100 pet fee per pet with a maximum of $300 (3 pets). Please be aware, failure to adhere to the house rules as it pertains to pets may result in cancellation of the booking with no refund. **

It was a great vacation!
5/5 stars
Ten family members just spent a week at the Blue Elk Ranch for Thanksgiving and it was wonderful. The house and bunkhouse provide lots of room for guests and the large kitchen makes it easy to prepare meals for the group without tripping over each other. The property has some walking trails and other amenities which we didn't get to enjoy due to the rain and cold weather. The location is fantastic with multiple wineries close by (shout out to Chris James and Resonance wineries!) There are also multiple small towns close by and all the shopping you need in McMinnville. The Air and Space Museum there is also a must see!

Blue Elk Ranch
5/5 stars
My family of 14 just spent 4 blissful nights at the Blue Elk Ranch in Yamhill, OR where we attended our son's wedding. This home was perfect for our family with 5 bedrooms in the main house and 2 rooms plus 2 queen lofts in the "Bunk House." The location was worth the drive -- about 10 miles NW of the quaint town of McMinnville, OR. With all this space -- we didn't feel like we were too crowded or climbing over each other. We had a blast!! The grounds were so peaceful with all the gorgeous pine trees -- it was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop!! The rocking adirondack chairs on the porch were very comfortable too. And the pool table gave us all something to do when hunkering down for the night! ALL 14 of us were in awe of this place and had the best time gathered in one place!! Nice to know that we could bring our dogs next time!! Very pet friendly accommodations. We will definitely be back!!

Great secluded house in yamhill wine country
5/5 stars
Stayed here for a week with a group of friends visiting wine country. A great house that is quite private and secluded on a large property. Cool fire pits and everything you need to settle in and enjoy the Pinot!

The perfect family getaway
5/5 stars
Blue Elk Ranch is where dreams are made. It is such an incredible blend of privacy and comfort. Our kids rode around the property on their mountain bikes. Every evening we saw countless deer. We enjoyed the fire-pit even though it was off-season. The Starlink Internet was a wonderful surprise that we weren't expecting. Having the bunk-house available for the kids to enjoy and play in was a huge hit. We can't wait to return again.

Serene Private Retreat
5/5 stars
The house was huge and clean. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Our kids enjoyed hiking on the well maintained property and exploring nature. They also enjoyed the privacy of their own bunk house. Huge kitchen allowed for great family time.

Most comfortable family get together!
5/5 stars
My dad lives in Carlton and he has five children who have spouses and we have 8 kids combined. Trying to celebrate the holidays at his house is always cramped and there isn’t enough room for us all to stay. We just spent the weekend at the Ranch for our holiday celebration and it was AMAZING! We had tv for the kiddos, a pool table for the adults and a fire pit for all. Everyone had a bed to sleep in and I have to say it was the best sleep I’ve had in a while- super comfortable mattress. And the bunk house was absolutely perfect for my sister and her family ( there is a total of 8). I can’t wait to rent it again in the summer when the weather is warmer so the kids can play outside- there is so much to explore. If you have a large group, this is the place. And it’s only 10 minutes from downtown Carlton! We will definitely make this an annual trip if not more- thank you so much for the accommodations located on such a beautiful property.

Beautiful Venue
5/5 stars
This property is located in a perfect area. It sits on 80 beautiful acres with a perfectly maintained forest and easily fit the 12 people we had staying there. The residence is about 20 minutes from Carlton, Oregon which has tons of fun places to eat, drink and shop. The outdoor patio area and lighting make it ideal should you want to have large dinners outside and then walk down to the fire pit for s'mores. Everything we hoped it would be!
- Mark
Great stay
5/5 stars
Our group had a great stay at the Blue Elk Ranch in fall 2021. iTrip was fantastic to work with throughout the entire process. The main and guest house were exactly as described. The property is beautiful with an awesome fire pit area, some trails through the woods, and plenty of space for lawn games. We appreciated that the house was stocked with a lot of coffee and there was shampoo / conditioner / body wash in the bathrooms. Do note that the house is at the end of a ~2 mile dirt road, with a few very steep hills. We rented a party bus for a wine tour and the bus could not make it up the very first hill of the driveway, causing a little chaos at the start of that day (very poor cell reception at that part of the main road). The only other thing to be mindful of is burn bans. We were not able to use the fire pit or make any outdoor fires while we were there. Great trip overall!

5/5 stars
The house itself was absolutely stunning. The house provided everything we needed. It was very clean and very comfortable. My family and pets had a great time. We will definitely be returning to this location again in the future. The only negative thing that I incountered was that the wifi was super super slow. And the jets in the master bathroom tub weren't working. The tub was one thing I booked the house for and I was disappointed when I could not use the jets. Other than those two things, everything was absolutely perfect.

This place was absolutely stunning. I loved the house. Great home decor. The house came with everything we needed. Lots of acres to explore. Fire pit was a plus. The house was huge and perfect for a big group. We plan on returning again soon. Only negative things were the wifi was super super slow. And the jets in the master bathroom jacuzzi tub didn't work. I was very disappointed about that because I was really looking forward to that part of the house. Other than that, everything was great

Best Rental Ever!
5/5 stars
I just can’t say enough about how much we enjoy our stay at Blue Elk! It had absolutely everything our large family needed. 80 peaceful acres all to ourselves. So much room for everyone to explore, run around & play or just sit back and relax with a private wine tasting!! Our family really enjoyed cooking together in the large, beautifully appointed kitchen, with absolutely everything we needed to create amazing meals, as well as grill on the patio while enjoying our wine. In the evening, hanging out under the stars was just priceless. With no light pollution in sight, there is no better place for stargazing, then gathering around the covered campfire area with music and marshmallows! A great night sleep was also had by all. Every bedroom was beautiful and relaxing. The bunkhouse was really something that made this property even more unique. The kids (from 10-20), loved having a unique space of their own, stocked with lots of board games and another kitchen to make and store their own snacks too. From beginning to end, our experience with Corey was a pleasure. Corey is an exceptional host, always available to answer any question, with a team that provides great attention to detail and bonus amenities, like a welcome bottle of wine, free wine tastings, coffee, gas grill, hair products, and HELICOPTER ACCESS! A completely indescribable experience!! Blue Elk is truly a place and an experience for everyone, we all had such a wonderful time and can not wait to return!

Amazing Private Ranch
5/5 stars
It does not get better than this place. I felt like I was in the mountains at my own private camping area, but had a wonderful house and was still only 5-10 minutes from multiple wineries, 15 min from Carlton, and 1 hour from the coast. The main house is great, the guest house is awesome, and I love the picnic tables & fire pit between them. This place is perfect for family get togethers. I will definitely be coming back!
- Ryan
Great house for a multi-family vacation!
5/5 stars
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this property with a large group of friends and family members, and would definitely stay here again. The two houses are very close to each other, so we were able to quickly head back and forth as needed for cooking and serving large meals, checking on others, etc. There were more than enough beds for kids and adults, and the three dining areas (one in each house, one outside under a covered patio) made for variety and ease of feeding our large group. The property itself was beautiful -- surrounded by trees, although not so thickly that you couldn't see through the woods for a good 50 feet at least. The grass was thick and green, dotted with daisies as if a meadow. There was plenty of room for lawn games and lounging, and our children enjoyed running around and exploring. A nice swing provided entertainment, as did an old see-saw (although it needs some repair). We enjoyed exploring the property and would ask for a map of it next time to better understand if there were any trails or places to avoid while exploring. Internet was okay, but not great; we weren't trying to work, so this didn't bother us too much.
