"We were very pleased with our one night stay at Union Creek Resort. The staff was helpful and friendly and they gave us good info on the area. The resort has a wonderful rustic feel with Union Creek running right beside the property. We enjoyed Beckie's Restaurant right across the road for dinner. They had reasonable prices for very good food and good service. We were able to stop at the Rogue River Gorge and the Natural Bridge that are very close (the staff can give you directions of you need them) and take a short hike on the Union Creek Trail that has a trailhead on the property. "
"The property was BEAUTIFUL, well-maintained, with a beautiful, CLEAR creek and covered bridge, plus welcoming lawn and patio spaces. Our yurt was SO inviting and comfortable, we felt right at home as soon as we opened the door!
Nicole was fabulous as the staff person who welcomed us and answered all of our questions. She was like having a family member welcoming us for a visit!
The bathroom was well-maintained and perfect for our use, with a huge sink, two toilet stalls and a large shower stall.
Thank you for a wonderful overnight stay!! I highly recommend your resort to others considering a stay in southern Oregon! "
"Pros:
Check-in was keyless and easy. Beds were fine, kitchen was well stocked with tools for cooking. The lake views were also a draw for sure, and it was quiet.
Cons:
It was a hot day and the inside of the house was VERY warm (88 F). Despite what was advertised, there is NOT central AC. There is a small mobile Toshiba unit in the back bedroom, but it was off. When we turned it on it leaked and sprayed water everywhere (which someone knew, because there was a towel on the floor under it). No instructions were provided about what to do, and multiple calls to the manager went unanswered until almost 1 AM that night. The manager eventually texted at 10:15 the next day saying to close the windows and use the broken Toshiba. Our only other options were one fan with a taped-up cord, and a switch for a whole-house fan that didn’t work. Eventually we looked up the AC model online and found instructions for how to drain it. A hassle that had to be repeated every 3 hours day and night if it was to operate at all, but it was not capable of cooling other rooms.
There were also dead gnats and spiderwebs everywhere. They know it’s not clean and have a note on the fridge asking guests to complain directly to them since there’s no cleaning fee. But this was days/weeks of gnats, not a one-off hiccup.
It is also worth noting (though this is mentioned in the listing) that the water here is brown and sulfurous, so a water cooler is provided. "
