About this property

Luxury Wine Country Retreat

A short drive out of Portland, in the heart of the Willamette Valley’s Eola Amity AVA, sits AtTheJoy and the Anahata Vineyard.

Our beautiful Eola Amity Hills outdoor living space with spectacular views await you at this magnificent 30-acre estate. AtTheJoy sits in the middle of the Anahata Vineyard where you can enjoy panoramic views of the Van Duzer Corridor to the west and Temperance Hill to the east. Spend peaceful days around the patio where you can bask in the sun, swim in the pool or relax in cozy lounge areas. In the evening ignite the fire pit for ambiance, enjoy some wine and take a soak in the hot tub.

The lovely 6,500sqft estate has a main house and attached bungalows. The main house is airy and bright, courtesy of numerous large windows and sliding glass doors. The living room and family room both feature contemporary furnishings; the former containing soft, rounded furniture and the later, a sleek collection of chairs and tables. The great room runs into the chef’s kitchen, a room that will make your mouth water both in anticipation of the meals to be prepared and the state-of-the-art equipment you’ll get to work with. Savor every bite around the elegant dining table that seats eight. The home is wired with high-end electronics and sound system, so enjoy your meal inside or out while enjoying music of your choice. The bungalows are well appointed peaceful retreats with views of the vineyard and pool area. The vaulted ceilings, French doors, a spa like space and sitting area make these bungalows a relaxing option from the main house activities.

You’ll enjoy peaceful sleeps in our 6 well-appointed bedrooms … 3 in the main house and 3 bungalow suites alongside the pool. In the main house … the master suite features a king size bed that looks out to the Anahata Vineyard. It contains a walk-in double closet, plus a spa-inspired en-suite with dual-vanities, shower and a soaking tub. The remaining guest bedrooms are two queen bedrooms that share an elegant bathroom with shower and tub.

The 3 bungalows are 550 sq ft each and sit alongside the pool. They each have a king size bed with a floating wall separating the bedroom from a sitting area. Peaceful views of the vineyard and pool await you. All the bungalows have their own bathroom, shower and walk in closet.

Note:
In the downstairs / gameroom area there is a pull out couch with a double bed as well as 2 twin beds in a separate bedroom … these optional beds share a bathroom and shower in the downstairs area. This area also provides a private conference room with a table that seats 6-8 for those retreats that have a little work involved.

While the default setting on a VRBO booking for AtTheJoy is "no parties or events allowed" we do many parties and events - you will need to work with managers Tim & Kari Ramey to discuss how to do this, what additional costs and fees are required, etc.

Perfect location…
We were celebrating a 50th birthday in wine country, so the property was perfect as a central location to the wineries. The on site amenities provided a great space for couples to relax each day…enjoying the pool, hot tub, and pool table. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

Excellent Home!
Beautiful location, beautiful home!! We loved our time At the Joy for a friend's 50th. Close to many wineries, close to Portland, and most of all the amazing winery surrounding the home, the pool, the fire it, outdoor seating, the kitchen... it was all incredible! The bungalows are modern and a great addition to the home. The views from every room in the home of the vineyard and beyond are beautiful. Perfect stay. Thank you!!

Great place to get away and leave the world behind
At the Joy was perfect place to celebrate a birthday with close friends. The house had everything we needed to enjoy each others company and not worry about the outside world. There was a power outage while we were there due to a freak car accident down the street and the Tim and Kari were great at keeping us updated and helping out. Totally not there fault and without the accident, we never would have needed them, but great to know they are so responsive.

Relaxing and breathtaking.
This house was a lucky find on VRBO. What a reprieve from city life we normally reside in. The home was modern, beautiful, and spacious. The kitchen is large and modern. We traveled with two families of four (four adults, four kids under the age of 7), and grandma. It was very comfortable, giving everyone a chance to duck into their own private rooms which were large and comfortable. The swimming pool was amazing and I believe salt water. Only one of my two kids is a swimmer, so I was nervous that there was no fence/gate around the pool - but we kept a close eye on all of the kids, and it made it especially easy being that there are so many windows facing the pool from the kitchen/living area. We were so thankful for this peace of mind. The beds, bedding and ambiance were amazing. So cozy and I usually have a hard time sleeping outside of my own bed at home. We thoroughly enjoyed this home. Thank you!

We could not have had a better stay. The Property Managers are A++ hosts. They were very fast with communication and very flexible with requests. The property itself is very beautiful. We would love to come back in the summer to stay when the vineyard is green!

Amazing - pictures don’t do the property justice
We loved being At The Joy - it is even better than the pictures. It’s an amazing property with indoor and outdoor beauty that is very well stocked for large families. The bedrooms and bathrooms were updated and extremely comfortable and spread out - the pool villas are particularly great. The outdoor space is a highlight with pool and hot tub and incredible views and privacy. We loved the team at the property and found them so easy to work with. We would go back in a heart beat!

Great wedding weekend retreat
My (now) husband and I got married at a nearby vineyard this Summer and were looking for a nearby property where we could reside and relax with both our immediate families during the celebratory weekend. While it was certainly a bit of a "splurge" cost wise, the property was absolutely perfect for the occasion and we wouldn't have done it any other way.

Amazing wine country retreat!!
This property is amazing. We had a group of 12 and we couldn’t have enjoyed it more. Everything was perfect. The pool was heated, the kitchen was well appointed, and there was plenty of room for our group. We actually had a chef come to the house to prepare a six course meal and we ate out on the back patio. The whole experience was amazing and the views around the property was just as good. I highly recommend this property for big groups visiting the Willamette Valley.

Incredible get-away
We stayed here for a long weekend to get away. Setting was incredible, the home warm and inviting, and the outdoor living spaces were perfect. One of the most relaxing weekends my family has had in a long time. Perfect blend of space for kids and adults... Bed was incredibly comfortable and views from every room! We will definitely return.

Relax in TOTAL luxury
First class in every way. Has all the amenities you'd ever need for a family vacation. Large rooms, space, modern bathrooms,professional kitchen, pool and hot tub. The place fulfills every need and more. There may be equal quality rental homes for a family of 10 but there are none better. Highly recommended = 20 thumbs UP!

Beautiful home, with luxury amenities, stunning views, excellent location for wine country exploring
This home is really fantastic, within a 5 minute drive to many world class Oregon wine producers Bethel Heights, Zenith Vineyards, Cristom, Walter Scott, Brooks and St. Innocent to name a few. You couldn't ask for a more well appointed and comfortable place to stay for a large group. Great kitchen to cook in because there aren't any really close restaurants. Both the pool and jacuzzi were heated for our November weekend and thoroughly enjoyed. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
