Highly recommended if you want to visit the Painted Hills. It is a lovely house in a lovely place with lovely hosts.

Bonnie et Steve sont des gens avec wonderfull la plus belle maison que je pouvais imaginer. Belle vue sur le pont, au milieu de la nature, entouré de collines et de l'air frais, ciel clair et de la faune. Nous étions dans une grande belle chambre à l'étage, avec une salle de bains et une douche en bas. Une très bonne surprise était le petit déjeuner qui était inclus. Et les gens chaleureux et convivial se sentait un peu comme dans une maison familiale qu'une auberge de jeunesse. Nous reviendrons à cet endroit.

Bonnie and Steve were so friendly and welcoming to their place and we felt very comfortable and right at home. The surrounding area is absolutely gorgeous and serene. They were very accommodating for our stay and breakfast was great!

Nous avons passé deux nuits dans la maison alors que nous étions hors réseau à l'origine l'intention de rester une nuit. Il était si beau et agréable. Nous avons apprécié la Painted Hills, une petite randonnée près de la maison et l'air frais et la vue.

Very warm welcome, Nice and quite place for vacation but better go there before sunset because there is no light along the road.

Notre séjour avec Bonnie et Steve était vraiment super. Leur propriété est idéale pour un dépaysement total, vraiment calme et à proximité des endroits incroyables comme Painted Hills. Ils étaient vraiment gentils et ils nous aident à planifier notre séjour.

Bonnie and John were super welcoming and very kind. And most importantly they managed to live off the grid in a beautiful setting of central Oregon. Congrats !!!

If you want to be off the grid with beautiful views, great conversation, and amazing breakfasts then this is your place! Bonnie and Steve were so welcoming, and willing to be as much a part of your stay as you want. This home has spectacular views of what eastern Oregon has to offer. My mom and I will definitely go back. Breathtaking!

The Mitchell House is large! Two floors, two living rooms, a spacious kitchen and an enclosed back deck over Bridge Creek. From the initial inquiry through checking in and settling, Larry was gracious and welcoming to us and to our canine traveling companion. More food than I ever could have expected was provided in the house and across the road at the cafe in the morning. Thanks to Larry and I hope to see you again.

Larry was very kind and welcomed us when we arrived. Mitchell is a very small town and the home is located on a small business street. There is a convenient store next door, gas station on one end, and a restaurant or two down the street. The home was clean, cozy, and very big (2-story). There was no one else booked to stay in the home so we had the entire house to ourselves (way more than we needed)! My wife and I visited Mitchell to see Painted Hills, which happened to be only a 15-20 minute drive from Larry's home. Larry was available to text if we had any questions or concerns; he also responds pretty promptly. Very convenient location if you are trying to visit Painted Hills!

Larry's home was a great place for respite during my trip to the John Day Fossil Bed Monuments. Larry was very welcoming, hospitable, and even offered me a tour of a working cattle ranch! His home reminded me of a rustic cabin getaway. No frills but clean and comfortable. The town of Mitchell is well suited for a tour of the John Day Fossil Bed Monuments but be advised it is a sleepy town and businesses shut down early.

Larry's place was big, beautiful and conveniently located to numerous scenic landmarks. Larry was very kind, providing instruction and often checking in on us but also allowing us our space. The house has plenty of space and pictures don't do it justice. It has a rural feel but you can walk out the front door and grab breakfast at a cafe within one minute of walking. You can also see the painted hills within fifteen minutes. One of the best AirBnb experiences that we have had and we highly recommend staying here.

Quiet, clean and spacious. Well supplied kitchen. Great location to explore the Painted Hills.

Erin and John's place exceeded our expectations and needs for an Air bnb: extremely clean, everything is new, kitchen had excellent amenities (we cook a lot), and the location was perfect for our exploring (between Painted hills unit and Sheep Rock unit), great value! My family and I stayed here (6 people, 5 adults/1 child) and we had enough space. We would definitely stay here again.

Erin and John's place is perfectly situated for visiting the Painted Hills. All questions were answered ASAP and they provided a lot of helpful details about services in the area. The home is clean, comfortable, and just as described. Everything about our stay was easy, from booking all the way through to check out. I had a great experience and definitely recommend Erin and John's Painted Hills Vacation Home to anyone visiting the area.

The house was exactly as described. A clean and modern house in the middle of nowhere. Loved the white bed sheets, kitchen was spacious and fully stocked. We enjoyed our stay and the visit to the amazing Painted Hills. Thank you!

Great house in quiet Mitchell, OR. Perfect access to John Day Fossil Beds, particularly the Painted Hills Unit. Owners were very helpful. The house had better amenities than most Airbnbs I've stayed at before.

Renting from John & Erin was an absolute blast! We chose this house as a convenient location to springboard our adventures around the Painted Hills and the ever growing Mitchell. The house itself is on point. Very relaxing and well-furnished interior, great outdoors space with large patio/yard to spend a nice evening. Always had plenty of clean linens, comfy beds, cooking utensils, and fun board games. I honestly think the house looks better in person than in the pictures, which is saying a lot. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a great house to explore Mitchell and surrounding areas!

Great location to Painted Hills. Bring food or be prepared to drive if you want food options.

Beautiful home just a short drive from the Painted Hills. John and Erin were very accommodating, promptly answering any questions or concerns we had.

The best airbnb experience I've had! Leslie and Bob are extremely welcoming and go way beyond to make your stay comfortable. The drive up there in the middle of nowhere is also an experience in itself. I would highly recommend this place for anyone going through this area.

Leslie and Bob are amazing and welcoming hosts. Their home is beautiful, and it is located on a beautiful, and very private, stretch of land. When they saw that we took a wrong turn on our way, they drove out to meet us and direct us to the right house. They made us feel at home from our arrival until our departure, by welcoming us to their living room and at their table, and we spent a quite while in pleasant conversation. They made sure that we were comfortable and had everything we needed, with our own small fridge, cold drinks, snacks and a Keurig coffee maker. The bed is soft and comfortable, and the room is nicely decorated. The view outside is beautiful, and the sky at night is absolutely amazing on account of very little light pollution in the area. There's a fire pit outside, and you should definitely use it! Sitting outside at night and enojoying the tranquility and the night sky is great! You can even hear the water of the stream flowing nearby and you can see wildlife right on the property where we've seen deer jumping the cattle fences. This is a true country-ranch experience, while still having all the amenities of civilization (including Wifi!). Overall, we felt as if we stayed with old friends, and we'll gladly return if we'll find ourselves again in the area. Highly recommended!

This adorable cottage was just as described. It is a lovely haven of green in a stunningly beautiful area. This is one of the very best rentals I have ever stayed in; the hosts are so invested in making the property beautiful and comfortable. The hosts' care of the home shines through, from the lavender scented lotions and soaps, to the fresh eggs, to the plentiful luxurious towels, to the useful touring materials, to the hands-on support given as needed. The area is gorgeous with many hiking and viewing opportunities. Don't miss the Painted Hills, the Blue Basin hike, or the Cant Ranch (in the Sheep Unit of the John Day National Monument). The restaurants in town have simple high quality food, very nicely served. Do check on the hours, especially closing times, as these can vary day to day. I recommend this cottage without reservation and we'll be back.

The Hollyhock Guest House was lovely, and the yard is simply enchanting. Aruna and Barbara have created an idyllic setting. Great spot from which to explore the Painted Hills and the John Day Fossil beds.

Barbara and Aruna are lovely hosts who care about the comfort of their guests. The yard is a garden of eden with flowers blooming everywhere. We barbecued outside the first two nights, had farm fresh eggs for breakfast every morning that were provided by our hosts, and a comfortable bed to fall into each night. It's also a great place to stay with your dog. I would highly recommend staying at the Hollyhock House.

The Hollyhock cottage was adorable! Barbara was great. She came to check on us when the power went out to make sure we had everything we needed. And the power was not out long, nor does it go out a lot in this area. The Painted Hills were beautiful the the hikes Barbara recommended were great.

We had a lovely and relaxing stay at the Hollyhock with our pup! The cottage itself was delightful and bright, with a wonderful yard and garden. The paintings and artwork were charming. We enjoyed experiencing small town Mitchell (Tiger Town Brewing was especially awesome!) and really loved visiting the Painted Hills and the Sheep Rock unit of the John Day Fossil Beds. The only minor snafu was that the wifi wasn't working initially (and no cell reception), but they were able to fix it and even called us to check in about it - and honestly, it was nice being unplugged for a while. :) We would definitely go back!

The Hollyhock Cottage was a cozy little retreat while we we exploring the area. I'd recommend staying here!

A wonderful place to relax and unwind while checking out the sights. They have created an amazing get-away where you feel right at home stepping into the gardens and quiet bungalow. THE place to stay in Mitchell (if it's not already booked!)

Larry è un uomo molto bello e ha fatto di tutto per assicurarsi che abbiamo avuto tutto il necessario, da asciugamani e spazzolini da denti in più, al vino e spuntini. La casa è pulita e sulla strada principale di Mitchell, ed è molto vicino alle Painted Hills. Consigliamo vivamente di stare qui!

Favorite air BnB to date. Larry was so generous and we had so many nice amenities in a large house! We even had ping pong and darts! Best place to stay in Mitchell!

Larry is most kind providing accommodations so convenient to John Day Fossil Beds Painted Hills. He's stocked the place with all the necessary cooking supplies, including all the condiments, oils, and spices. He surprised us with complimentary wine, and breakfast coupons for an excellent restaurant in Mitchell. The place is clean and comfortable. We enjoyed playing ping-pong, and the exceptional food and beverage the food truck across the street. We'll definitely stay at Larry's again.

We found Larry's house last minute, he responded instantly, so we drove to the place and arrived around 00.00. The whole town was pitch black and when we knocked at his door, we were greeted by barking dogs. Even though we had a slight miscommunication about the time we would arrive, we were more than welcome to stay! Larry went back to his ranch, so we had the entire house for ourselves. Larry even arranged breakfast at the local diner, really sweet!

Larry is amazing, he provides a very clean and spacious house filled with games, food, towels, saops, even a breakfast at a breakfast place ! Thank you again !

Larry was a great host. His house was located right in town and we walked to eat and shop. The house was clean and well prepared for guest. We felt very welcomed and so did our four legged girl traveling with us. Plenty of room to share but this trip we had the entire house to ourselves. I would say Larry went above and beyond to make sure our stay included everything we could need.

Larry showed us great hospitality from the time we touched down in Mitchell and made sure we had all we needed to have a great stay as we visited the Painted Hills!

Bonnie and Steve were just wonderful. We had such a pleasant stay at their amazing house (they built themselves) in the middle of nature. The vistas from their terrace are just incredible. If you want a non-stereotypical AirBnb experience, go and visit them. They are lovely people and staying with them is a fantastic experience.

Amazing place with a amazing views. Breakfast was awesome. Rooms are fine and it's quite at night. It was really cool to wake up by the sun. I highly recommend and if I have a opportunity to be in the area this is where I would go!

Bonnie's huis was boven verwachting. Het uitzicht is prachtig, de portch is rustig en de meeste van alle Bonnie en Steve zijn amzing verhalenvertellers! We hadden een heerlijk verblijf.

Cet endroit est incroyable! La vue est difficile à battre, ainsi que le petit déjeuner. Je n'avais des œufs et du pain grillé, mais ils étaient parfaits.

De ervaring bij Bonnie en Steve's was zo veel meer dan alleen een bed and breakfast. Hun woning in de bergen is groot en mooi met een spectaculair uitzicht van het huis, en enkele mooie wandelingen. Bonnie en Steve waren vriendelijk en deelden hun kennis over de natuur en de nabijgelegen steden en sites. We hebben ook genoten van de kleine stad gemeenschap in Mitchell. We ontmoetten een aantal geweldige mensen die hun liefde voor het platteland gedeeld. Een ding om op te merken, als het voor u belangrijk is, zou zijn dat, afhankelijk van hoeveel andere gasten in het huis, deze kamer niet over een eigen douche.

Excellent stay!! Highly recommend for anyone spending time in Cenral Oregon...stay here! You will not be disappointed. Between the different rooms and apartment that is available, there is something for singles, couples, and families. We stayed as a couple who traveled on a road trip. We were going through Mitchell for a visit to Painted Hills. The property - remote in an amazing way. Hiking and exploring on property, spectacular views, peaceful. The room - we ended up staying in the apartment downstairs. Bonnie offered this larger space since the coffee/breakfast bar was completing construction upstairs. They are in the process of building out a loft area for future guest usage. The apartment included a full kitchen, spacious, private area, pool table, board games. Hosts - felt like family instantly, kind, warm, hospitable.

Un tel endroit merveilleux, très calme avec un paysage magnifique. Mieux encore que décrit! Nous avons reçu un accueil chaleureux et nous nous sommes sentis à la maison avec Bonnie et Steve. Nous avons apprécié le petit déjeuner avec les délicieuses gaufres. Et vous ne devez pas être inquiet au sujet de la route pour aller là-bas. Sans aucun doute un endroit pour rester!

Bonnie et son mari sont des hôtes vraiment que je recommande. Ils sourient, gentil, très accueillant. Prendre le petit-déjeuner le matin avec eux était grande. La maison est située à seulement 20 minutes des Painted Hills. Merci beaucoup pour les

Beautiful landscape, rustic cabin, amazing humans, roaring wood stove, hiking access right on the property. Our dog had a blast too. This place made us want to move to Dayville. Very close to the fossil beds. Highly recommend!

We absolutely loved our stay. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a warm welcome. This is a unique and inspiring homestead in which the hosts so graciously and willingly share. This getaway is a wonderful place for anyone looking for a true taste of the high desert. We are counting the days until our return.

Wat een leuke reis en verblijf! Prachtige plek met vriendelijke gastheer.

Stopped in for the night after visiting the painted hills. Definitely arrive before nightfall. It was trickier to find my way than expected. There is little service in the area, but with Verizon I had service at the cabin. It was a great stay! Kerri and Jim are awesome. They were very helpful and kind hosts. Friendly cats and dogs are on the property too.

Mijn vrienden en ik nam een weekendje weg naar de John Day Fossil Beds / Painted Hills en deze hut was de perfecte plek om te verblijven. Kerri en haar familie waren ontzettend vriendelijk en uitnodigend. We kwamen 's avonds, dat was geen probleem was, en we ontdekten een pot koffie op de houtkachel in de ochtend. De cabine is goed ingericht; erg gezellig en een geweldige plek om terug te keren na een lange dag wandelen en te verkennen. De afgelegen locatie is een grote uitstel van het lawaai en het verkeer van de Portland metro gebied. De nachtelijke hemel is een van de duidelijkste ik heb gezien, en het omringende landschap is prachtig. Ik kan me niet voorstellen een betere plek om te verblijven in het gebied, vijf sterren!

I absolutely loved my stay at the Sunset Cottage, I stayed for two nights with some friends. The cottage was specious, clean, and charming. The first day when we arrived we received a phone call from Barbara, checking how we were doing, and to inform us about the eggs that her chickens laid that she left for us in the fridge. The cottage had everything one needs and more, there is wireless internet, a library of DVDs, wood stove, full kitchen, comfortable beds, flat screen tv and DVD player. The kitchen has basic cooking ingredients such as cooking oil, salt, spices and such, but I would suggest bringing your own as that stuff might just be left behind by the previous guests. Mitchell, OR is a cute little town, the people are so friendly, and nearby painted hills make it a perfect and unique spot for vacationing. Be sure to add this to your Places to visit list, and stay at Aruna and Barbara's cottage, they are the best hosts.

Barbara was very welcoming and warm. The house is perched at the top of a hill and within walking distance from tiny downtown Mitchell. It was a great location for exploring the John Day Fossil Beds and Painted Hills.

We loved our stay in Dayville. The studio was spotless and very comfortable. Everything from check-in to check-out was easy as pie.

Christy's place is a perfect location to stay to experience this part of Eastern Oregon and the little town of Dayville ... wonderful! The Twisted Treasure shop and Cafe ... top notch!

Our stay was great because of Christy's flexibility with our arrival and departure times! We had no problems whatsoever during our stay and would recommend Christy's to our friends and family anytime!

Quaint setup in a great location for tripping around the area. Dayville is centrally located for the fossil beds or the national forests to the southeast. Christy was attentive and readily available should we need anything. Pack some of your own food since all the shops and cafes close early.

She was very attentive and made herself available if we needed. It was a very cozy, cute place and was just perfect for the 2 of us. Very well kept and clean and a good value. The bed was comfortable and the tv trays were nice to have.

The studio unit at the Pony Express was very clean, quiet and warm. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook and the town was very quaint and still, even on New Years Eve. It is a perfect place to stay when visiting the John Day Fossil Bed Monuments that are only 15-30 min away.

Good spot to stay when visiting the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument. The area was more remote than we anticipated, and this is one of the closest locations available. Simple accommodation, excellent location.

Lovely apartment and location, warm and kind hosts (invited me to join them for breakfast!), nothing bad to say at all! I was just there overnight, and I could easily see it as a place for a week long break. It's Juniper desert--Ruth guided me to an excellent 40 minute walk around a big block. (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) Maps was a bit astray on the routing (apparently newly and hopefully temporarily), so I suggest you get detailed directions in and out both from Ruth and Duane. This unit is way underpriced for what it is.

Ruth and Duane are so friendly and made us feel so welcome. The place is very clean and well kept. They do have a dog, three cats, two horses, two mules, a donkey, a lama and a few chickens so be prepared to hang out with some incredibly friendly animals. The house is located on a gravel road about 10 mins from town. Our little focus made the drive no problem. The house has everything you would need. We would highly recommend this place!!!

Wir kamen am dankgeben Nacht, ich muss sagen, das ist das besondere Erlebnis, das ich je in Airbnb gehabt. Ruth und Duane waren so nett, sie behandeln uns mit Wüste und wir hatten tolle Gespräche. Und all die Tiere, die sie haben, sind so freundlich und nett, das Zimmer ist sehr sauber und schön, wir genossen die wunderbare Nacht mit dem Host, empfehle ich den Besuch auf ihrem Bauernhof.

Ruth and Duane were the nicest hosts. The place was extremely clean, comfortable, and cozy. I will definitely be back again when I do another painted hills trip, it was so convenient.

Ruth and Duane were out on their property when we arrived. They welcomed us and showed us the apartment. It was very cozy. They had already setup the hide-away bed and had snacks and fresh eggs for our breakfast the next day. Everything was as described in their listing and it was fantastic! We really appreciated Ruth and Duane's warm hospitality.

Ruth und ihr Mann uns herzlich empfangen, als wir ankamen. Sie sind sehr liebenswürdige Menschen, und wir zu Hause gefühlt absolut. Ihr Platz war sehr komfortabel für uns. Die Nutztiere auf der Weide waren großartig. Der Esel wurde uns sprechen, sobald wir ging nach draußen :) Ich würde gerne wieder hier übernachten, wenn ich mehr Zeit für einen Besuch. Fantastische Leute und ein schöner Ort zum Entspannen!

I had a a wonderful time! Ruth and her husband were fantastic hosts! They were flexible with our time as we kept getting delayyed from traffic. Our place was clean homey. Perfect after a long day of driving! Ruth had even prepared fresh cut fruit and had eggs for the morning. We probably had our best sleep at this stay. The next day we got to meet the animals who were so fun to be around. I loved hearing their rescue stories. We had a delightful stay.

The lodging was quaint and just what we hoped it was. We had our own private area of the house and the location was where we expected. We were welcomed with the most generous hospitality.

Bonnie is very friendly and was eager to help make our visit to the area enjoyable and our stay at her place comfortable. The view was gorgeous and hospitality was wonderful.

Bonnie and Steve are lovely quality people! The location is perfect for exploring the 3 rock formation 'units' including the Painted Hills and their hospitality is second to none! Their home is truly an off-the-grid experience with views to die for. You won't do better anywhere in the area!

Bonnie's plek is geweldig! Je zult niet geloven dat het uitzicht en de locatie. De zonsopgang is uit de hitlijsten. De kelder appartement heeft alles wat we nodig hadden en Bonnie en Steve zijn prachtig gastheren, ze hebben zelfs een heerlijk ontbijt! Zeker aan te raden deze plek als een jumping off point naar de nabijgelegen geschilderde heuvels.

This place is a gem! The breakfasts were excellent, and we had great conversations with the hosts who felt like family. The 1 mile gravel driveway is fairly steep and has a gate that requires manual opening and closing (hint: rotate the lever lock up before moving the lever sideways). But the road is well graded and without ruts, so our front-wheel-drive passenger car didn't have a problem getting up, and it was worth it for the great view and quietness. The house is off-grid, but has the comforts of an on-grid house. We definitely plan to book another vacation there.

What a fabulous view, and a great way to really get away from it all. Bonnie and Steve are very friendly and welcoming. There is plenty of space and you have the choice of going in to town for meals or making your own in the large kitchen space. Fantastic shower and water pressure! One problem we had was not being able to use our phones as there is no T Mobile service in that area. That could change at some point.

This has been my favorite airbnb to date! Bonnie and Steve were the most accommodating hosts -- they provided us with breakfast before our drive out to painted hills. Which is so helpful because there's not really a place to eat nearby, and we weren't really prepared for that. It was lovely to hear their stories too! And just like other reviewers have noted, you will not believe the views. The home is in the middle of the mountains, very secluded and very homey. They have a sweet dog outside, and a cute little dog inside. The bedroom was very quiet, there was so much space in the downstairs apt, and everything was super clean. An amazing deal and such an awesome experience. 100% recommend.

She made us feel at home away from home.

So very clean and organized! Quiet neighborhood.

House was very nice. It was very relieving to goto bed to the amazing sunset.

Very cozy home! We felt very comfortable, and there would have been plenty of room for our friends that had planned to come with us. There was nothing we needed that wasn't available. Loved the water flowing behind the house. We'd definitely return!

The house overall was great. Very cozy, cute western theme, and had all normal amenities. Master bedroom and bath were great. However, the third bedroom is TINY. If you are not concerned with the size of your rooms than I say go forth, as we did not care.. just a bit unexpected! If you are interested in a burger joint, go to tastee treet!!! We went twice, great staff and the food and shakes were outstanding! Also would recommend going to the viewpoint, it is beautiful.

This is a lovely place to stay. Very clean with comfortable beds. Highly recommend it!

We really enjoyed our stay in this house. It is beautifully decorated with a cowboy theme and much better than what we saw in the pictures in airbnb. This is among the top few houses we have stayed using Airbnb. We got more than what we expected.

Very nice clean home, would recommend highly to rent here if staying in prineville. Owners are quick to respond, and seemed very nice.

A lovely home in a centrally located area.

The bunkhouse was a great place to hang out and relax after a long trip. It was the last day of our 2 week vacation and we enjoyed sitting on the patio watching the dogs. I will say the gps didn't want to take us right to it but it wasn't hard to find, thanks to the "wine down ranch" sign. I didn't have much service (AT&T) but my friend did (Verizon). The bunkhouse is very well decorated and furnished.

Great little getaway cabin! If you're looking to stay in the Prineville area I would highly suggest this over a hotel.

This is a once of a life time opportunity place to go visit if you want to experience the beautiful country side of Oregon. The ranch is situated between mountains and next to a national park, very quite and beautiful and scenic. Mary and her husband was super nice, helpful and inviting and let us and the kids take part of the fun ranch chors. We have nothing but good things to say about this place and will recommend this to all of our friends. Enjoy

We had a lovely time escaping the city at the Wine Down Ranch. Mary and Roy were very helpful to us city slickers, showing us how to build a fire and telling us about their property. The bunkhouse was comfortable and included anything you would need for your stay, including horses passing by your window! Our favorite part of our stay was hiking their beautiful property and finding amazing views. I know we will return again to this little country oasis.

This was a great place to stay! The ranch is beautiful and the bunkhouse is cute as a button and was perfectly laid out and equipped for our family of four. There is a full bed in the main room and bunk beds and another platform bed in a separate room. My son played fetch with one of the dogs and Ponderosa pine cones for hours and helped feed horses in the morning. We loved it and hope to be back to experience it during other seasons! Mary and Roy were so accommodating and pleasant and made us feel welcome as soon as we turned down the driveway. Many thanks to them for such a great experience!

I felt totally comfortable and cared for at the "Wine Down Ranch", from the moment the ranch dogs greeted us. Mary and Roy are so open and accommodating. Having a wood stove was greatly appreciated, and we never wanted for more wood to stoke the fire. I must say that the greatest thing to see was our newly adopted rescue dog enjoying the company of the several ranch dogs. We want to visit this bunk house again, and explore the surrounding rock outcroppings. This part of Oregon is enchanting. I got some very nice photos on our walk in the snow to the Ochoco Nat'l. Forest.

The bunkhouse at Wine Down Ranch was a pleasure. The Ranch is serene and there a lots of sights to see as you roam the property. My husband and I hiked up to an overlook during sunset and were able to see the Cascades in the distance. If you like dogs, this place is great. Their loving pups are waiting at your door in the morning and love to hang out and walk with you as you check out the horses and cows. The bunkhouse itself is cozy and clean. The wood burning stove gets the place nice and toasty. My husband and I stayed here during a 7 day road trip of Oregon, and he states that he had the best sleep of the trip in the bunkhouse. If you're a meat-eater, the freezer is stocked with cuts from the ranch that you can cook up for an extra charge. We didn't have time to thaw or prepare any but will definitely try some next time. Mary was a great host; super generous and kind. We will definitely stay there again.

This was my first time staying at an AirBNB. Wow! I can only hope that all of my future experiences will be as good as this one! Mary and Roy were very friendly, knowledgeable and willing to chat, but at the same time gave us complete privacy. The ranch and the surrounding area is amazing. The bunk house was just what we were looking for. Unfortunately now I just want to go back instead of exploring somewhere else!
