Whiterock Resort
Oak Ridge Country House
View from Oak Ridge
Oak Ridge is a huge, private farmhouse, far into the country on a ridge overlooking Whiterock Valley. A beautiful oak grove and fruit trees surround the house. Cows often grace a nearby pasture. Deer, coyote, and wild turkeys are frequently spotted from the house. Fishing ponds are within walking distance, and there is a basketball hoop on the garage. A bonfire ring in the yard is often used for evening campfires. Our rental telescope is kept here ... the skies are dark.
Oak Ridge offers full amenities, including air-conditioning, a VCR, iron and ironing board, basketball, croquet set, dart board, an extensive library and all linens. There are two hot water heaters, and very high quality mattresses. The decor includes Guatemalan bedspreads and wall hangings, locally made beds and tables, and a collection of stuffed wildlife. This informal house is fun to be in!
Upstairs Bedroom Marvin the Moose
The house has 5 bedrooms, with an official sleeping capacity of 13. The first floor bedroom contains a queen and a twin. Three bedrooms upstairs are usually configured with two twin beds each, though with advance notice, linens are available to make these bedrooms into short king beds. The 4th upstairs bedroom contains two queen beds and a seating area. There are two full bathrooms in the house (1st floor and 2nd floor) and also an upstairs hallway sink ideal for shaving and tooth-brushing. Many family reunion groups tuck in extra kids in the spacious living room and the ample bedrooms.
