Great place to connect with our long time friends from out of state for our annual trip. This was a great base with beautiful views, lots of wildlife and plenty of space to enjoy our time together. Spent the days exploring area sights and drives around this part of Oregon. The house was perfect!

This large house was well furnished and had everything we needed for our brief stay. It is centrally located for visiting all three units of the John Day Fossils Beds National Monument.The sky is very dark at night and excellent for star gazing. They house even has a small telescope!. Unfortunately for us, the second night sky was obscured by the Cram Fire way to the north.

We booked last minute, so our options were limited. We got word that one ac wasn’t writing about 20 minutes before our arrival. BUT the house is built in such a way, that you can prop open the doors and get a nice cross breeze. A lovely wind comes through in the evenings, and these combine to make it quite pleasant. The kitchen was well stocked. The atmosphere is lovely and peaceful. (The nearest Walmart is 2.5 hrs away so stock up beforehand.) The host was the most helpful and communicative I’ve ever had. The sunsets are incredible and the amount of stars you can see is breathtaking. The river nearby is cool and clear. I honestly have zero complaints. I only wish we could have stayed longer. The four stars for accuracy was only bc of the untimely loss of the one ac unit but I’m not even mad. This house in this location was perfect.
