Our mountain view vacation home is located five miles east of the boundary of the Eagle Cap Wilderness area and west of the Snake River Hells Canyon recreation area in a quiet, remote valley in eastern Oregon.
You will enjoy the convenience of a full kitchen with modern stainless steel appliances.
The master bedroom is large with en suite bathroom.
This house is close to where many diverse winter and summer recreational activities are available to enjoy without the usual crowds of tourists. We are still enjoying a lifestyle that brought most of us to this valley many years ago. However, right in our "back yard" we have so many choices of things to do that it seems that there is an outdoor activity that every one could enjoy.
The Halfway area allows easy and quick access to the mountains where hiking, camping, fishing in the summer is just 5 to 10 minutes away. Also, this includes snowmobiling and other winter activities being just as close. The Snake River for rafting, swimming, water skiing and other water activities is only 20 minutes away. In summer you can stay cool in the mountains or enjoy the summer warmth on the river. Our beautiful fall weather brings in the sightseers, big game and bird hunters. The choices seem endless for the outdoor enthusiast.
Our shopping is limited, but we have a grocery store, gas stations, hardware store, bank, 3 restaurants and a wonderful quilt and gift store which is stocked with many bolts of fabric. Come visit us, there is something for everyone.

This was an amazing home in a rural setting. Great TV so not to miss hubby's sport weekend. On acreage with deer and quiet neighborhood. Walk to town---a good cultural experience of a very small and friendly village. Dee and Gaylen were very good to work with in making our eastern Oregon experience memorable. Good day trips to Cornicopia, Joseph, Hells Canyon, and the Interperative Center in Baker City. We have enjoyed several VRBO homes, and this is one of the best.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, girls getaway, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, age 55+, sightseeing, families with young children, people with disabilities.

A group of us stayed here during the New Year's weekend to snowmobile and it was wonderful. To the huge parking area, to the big windows to look out over the fields towards the hills, and the open floor plan that it has to offer, and not to mention the owners, ALL WONDERFUL!Recommended for: Girls getaway, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, age 55+, families with young children.

My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights after dropping our kids off in La Grande for a basketball camp. We were close enough to the camp yet far enough that we felt we were truly away. It was much better than driving all the way back to Seattle! We most enjoyed going sight seeing every day. The drive up Hells Canyon to the dam was just gorgeous! We also visited the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center just outside of Baker City. There is so much beautiful scenery to look at in Eastern Oregon. We had quite a few exciting thunder storms every evening too! Dee was very kind to call and check on us and to supply us with a barbeque that we used every night for dinner. There were 2 deer that visited the backyard every evening too! This is a great home for a large family who enjoys outdoor recreation as well as a great home for a quiet retreat for two!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, sightseeing.

This house is immaculate. We felt that we were in a nice hotel. It is large and accomodates a big party. The owner was most helpful. Halfway is a beautiful valley surrounded by snow capped mountains We were there in June and could not believe the green beauty everywhere we went. It is a quaint little town. Visiting there is like stepping back in time. People are friendly. Buildings are mostly old, think antique. I would certainly recommend this place to my friends or anyone who just wanted a beautiful place to relax and let this frantic world pass by. This house is the exception, it is new, modern and well kept.Recommended for: Pet owners, age 55+, families with young children.
