Muskrat on the Rogue River
The setting on the river is awesome! A broad lawn extends from the apartment to the river; oaks and pines frame the views; the swimming pool is landscaped to blend in with the natural setting. Birds, Birds, Birds ... what a blast to share this setting with Acorn Woodpecker family, Black Phoebe pair feeding nestlings, and beautiful Western Tanagers flirting as the female weaves a nest ... all we watched from large windows and comfortable cover decks overlooking the pool and grounds. The location just outside Gold Hill allows easy access to wineries, hikes along the Rogue, scenic drive along the Umpqua and Rogue with many vistas and trailheads, Howard Prairie with geese and cranes in the meadows. and just one hour to Crater Lake National Park. The rental is just 30 minutes from the charming home of the Shakespeare Festival and many great restaurants in Ashland ... Lithia Park downtown is pretty! Each morning I visited with a cute Muskrat on the river who was busy harvesting the "spring greens" in the shallows.ssszz
