Wonderful family vacation home

Mt Tom house is a big, beautiful home, suitable for either larger family gatherings, or a couple's getaway. There are two primary bedrooms (en suite bathroom) and 4 bedrooms that share two full baths (there are two wings, each with a primary bedroom and two more bedrooms and the shared bathroom). All of the bedrooms had comfortable beds, and are nicely decorated. The house has a number of different, separate rooms for spreading out. One family room with the TV, a library, and a main living room/dinning room area. Kitchen is great for cooking, huge amount of counter space for prep, a great oven and stove. This kitchen would be great for groups that like to cook (we made prime rib and all the rest for NYE). The owners are very responsive and care about your stay, but otherwise give you privacy (they live on the property). The property is gorgeous, private, and secure (we let kids play as they like). Weather was not good enough to do hiking when we were there, but when drier, hiking would be great! We paid to heat the pool up (we stayed over New Years), and had a great time. The pool is huge, not deep (so safe for kids) and has a hot tub. Being covered allowed us to play in the pool even when it was raining. Highly recommend for a disconnect-vacation in nature.

About the host

Hosted by Juli Accurso

Craig is the ideator and first had the seed to start on this adventure! For the past decade, he has run been a professional marathoner while also the University of Oregon Warsaw Sports Marketing MBA program director. Recently, he's also added Mount Tom House general contractor to his resume and has been the lead on almost all projects and renovations!

Juli has a background in language teaching and has had an itch to open a bed & breakfast after working at a bed & breakfast in Southern France through WWOOF (Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms). She ran competitively in college and continues to jolly jog now.

We saw Mount Tom House as a unique and memorable space for families and friends to gather, businesses to host events and corporate retreats, couples to get married and celebrate life events, and eventually the perfect spot to host all-inclusive adult running retreats in Tracktown, USA.

Why they chose this property

Since the beginning, the Mount Tom House was built on the tenants of community and camaraderie. A group of friends in their 20s set up shop here on Mount Tom and helped one another raise kids and build homes.

Community and camaraderie gets at the heart of what we believe in and hope to provide! We've spent the last two years updating this 7,000sqft family home for travelers to enjoy.
