Loon Lake Lodge and RV Resort in Reedsport, Ore., just a few miles from the Oregon Coast, has added four deluxe yurts.
The deluxe yurts are located in the upper-forested area of the resort, near the lodge. The heavy canvas circular exterior provides the atmosphere of a tent, yet the interior is furnished with a trundle bed plus bunk beds to accommodate up to four people. The yurts have air conditioners and heaters, a counter top refrigerator, microwave, coffee pot and bed linens.
The two-mile-long lake is surrounded by mountains with Douglas Fir trees that protect the recreation lake from the winds often blowing on the Oregon Coast.
At the on-site Loon Lake Marina and Water Sports, resort guests can rent Sea-Doos and ski boats to traverse the lake with speed and skill, or a canoe, kayak, stand-up paddleboard or pontoon boat for a more mellow lake trip, including a journey along the lake’s feeder creek.
In addition to the deluxe yurts, locations near the lake have yurts that accommodate two in a queen-size bed. The resort also offers cabins and cottages, some with full kitchens, RV sites, plus motel rooms.
The 40-mile long ocean dunes, reaching up to 500 feet, offer opportunities for ATV riders, sandboarders and tour rides in sand dune buggies. The Winchester Bay Lighthouse and Reedsport Discovery Center are points of interest and numerous hiking trails explore the Umpqua River and lakes along the coast.
