"The Fly Fishers' Choice Since 1928" 609 S Hwy 197 Maupin, OR. 97037 541-395-2611 Along with our Guided Fly Fishing, we also offer Camping, Cabins and great food at our Cafe. “Ask about our off-season Cabin rates!” deschutesriveroasis.com If drifting down the Deschutes River on a guided fly-fishing trip is your wish, then The Oasis is the perfect place for your stay. “The Oasis was purchased in 1955 by my wife’s grandparents, so we’re the third generation to run the place,” explained co-owner Mark Malefyt. “We believe that it’s one of the state’s oldest resorts and we have records and photographs dating back to 1915 which is when we think that the business began.” 74 The cabins were moved to the site in about 1920 which is how long the fishermen have been traveling there, and the cabins and café buildings are more than 100 years old, so the family has a long-standing tradition and it is the mainstay of many white-water rafters and fishermen. The resort offers overnight lodging in 10 historic cabins comprising 15 beds; including doubles, queens, and one with twin beds. In addition, the resort has 30 campsites; a full-service café that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and they offer guided fly-fishing trips.
