The Painted Hills Cottage is a charming country style house featuring cozy European style furniture and an artsy ambient.
It can sleep six to eight people and is ideal for a family vacation or a get-together of friends. The house is set up with a full kitchen and modern bathroom as well as all the amenities needed for your comfort and enjoyment. All beds have comfortable mattresses, and fluffy European down comforters with lines provided.
The living-room is large and comfortable with a big screen TV and DVD/VCR player as well as stereo CD player. For your entertainment, we offer you our special movie collection with a variety of classic, foreign, and award winning films. All windows offer you a fantastic view into the garden.
The bright, sunny kitchen is equipped with gourmet condiments such as virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar, international herbs and spices, as well as some basic foods such as pasta, rice, and beans. You find everything you need, from Chinese wok to Senseo coffee machine (bring your Senseo coffee pads or buy them from us), as well as a juicer and Cuisinart machine to cook up some memorable meals. A barbecue with all necessary utensils is provided in the garden for grilling (you bring the charcoal!)
A remodeled barn with a wood stove functions as a game room and library and can sleep two more people on sofa beds. Its a great place to hang out together.
The cottage is surrounded by an incredible garden with hundreds of unusual plants and flowers - a vibrant peaceful sanctuary where something is always blooming. We invite you to pick our fruit such as strawberries, raspberries, plums, grapes, apples, and pears as they ripen all around you at different seasons. An outdoor seating area with garden furniture and umbrella is provided under the apple trees.
You find the Painted Hills Cottage in a quite neighborhood of Mitchell, a small rural town of pioneer days. Mitchell is located amidst rugged landscape of poetic beauty, and is a gateway to the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument.
Eastern Oregon is famous for its awe inspiring landscapes and its ancient geological places such as the Painted Hills, the Blue Basin, and the Clarno Palisades. The wild and scenic John Day River nearby is one of America's longest free-flowing rivers inviting you to boat, swim, hike and fish. There are outstanding mountain bike routes, scenic byways, and many geological wonders waiting to be explored. This is the ideal place for nature lovers, artists, geologists, adventurers, and landscape photographers.
There is so much to see and to explore - come and discover the wild beauty of this amazing place!
WE ALSO HAVE A SECOND SMALLER COTTAGE IDEAL FOR A ROMANTIC GETAWAY OR A FAMILY OF 4.
