The resort is located on a 600-acre ranch, fronting on Rogue river. The building is of colonial type, with towering 26-foot columns and represents an investment of $20,000. The steps leading into the building are the widest of any in Jackson county. Within the house a complete lighting and water system has been installed. In the large entrance hall are two huge fireplaces weighing 90 tons. A feature of the resort will be an artistic exhibit of landscapes, comprising Oregon's most famous scenery. The facilities for entertainment and amusement are many. In the river, before the resort, is a natural swimming pool. Guides and horses are furnished for hunting parties. By the beginning of the hunting season, a trail now being constructed, will be finished to the Umpqua divide. Excellent fishing is to be had in both Rogue River and Elk Creek. W. G. McDonald, the proprietor, and L. E. McDonald, the manager, are contemplating building a suspension bridge across the Rogue in the near future and parking 20 acres for summer cottages and a general campground.
