This is our second time staying in this house and we loved it! The house is very comfortable and being by the lake for our boating and fishing adventures is a plus! We will be back!

We love when guests take advantage of the off-season. Even if you’re not an “outdoors enthusiast” there’s plenty to enjoy. Thanks for choosing Detroit and The Bear Grass Lodge for your stay.
Four of us needed a place to stay as we were attending the Sisters Quilt Show. The home was beautiful, clean, quiet, and comfortable. We would love to stay here again!

Thank you so much Sandy! We'd love to have you back.
We have stayed at Bear Grass Lodge many times and it feels like home. It has everything you need to enjoy some time out of the rat race. It’s beautiful to see the community of Detroit building back stronger than ever❤️

Thank you Holly, we appreciate the feedback and how nice the house was left for us. Detroit is a wonderful place all year round and we hope to have you back again soon.
The place was great, nice and cozy. The kitchen had everything we needed in it. We got a couple of snow showers while we were there. The windows were great to see the snow falling.
Beds were very comfortable.

Thank you Lisa! Detroit continues to evolve during this rebuilding stage and we hope to see you again.
This home was very comfortable it had all necessities. Our family cooked meals in kitchen, BBQ’d and played games. The beds were very nice and bathrooms adequately stocked. We will definitely stay again.
From the point of check in, Nancy was incredible, very accommodating and helped me get the booking. We were working in the Detroit area and were very fortunate to find such a wonderful place that not only had great views but was spacious, very clean, had plenty of parking, and was just a great home to be able to stay in while away.
Nice home with views of the beautiful Detroit Lake. The home is well stocked with all essentials plenty of room for our group of 8 and the owners were very helpful and responsive.

Love that you say “come home to”…we’re glad it feels like a home away from home and would love to have you back.
Our last stay at this home was so great that it was an easy decision to re-book when we returned to the area for more work this spring. The home was just as pleasant as the last time, and we are looking forward to returning again next month! An absolute must book if you are in the area - even if you aren't, maybe you should be! Detroit is a lovely town.

Thank you, Zoe, for the kind words and coming back to stay with us a 2nd time. That's our true vote of confidence!
Had a mini-family reunion on the lake. The house was lovely and everyone had a great time. The only very slight negatives were no bathroom upstairs for the loft and the outdoor grill was only half-working. But overall 5 stars!! Would definitely stay again!

Thanks for letting us know about the grill. We’re planning to replace at the end of this season. We love hearing how families combine to enjoy all that the house offers.
We keep our friendship strong by planning short getaways, having fun exploring new places together. We had a wonderful time discovering the new Detroit nestled in the beauty of our lakes and mountains.
The location is really beautiful. Mornings on the front deck with coffee watching the sun on the mountains is really relaxing and refreshing. Everything was as good as can be in a rental property. Would definitely recommend this property to everyone. I hope we get to visit again sometime. Thanks to the host for great communication.

Thank you! You were one of the first guests to enjoy the new deck and were so happy to hear you enjoyed it. We’d love to have you back.
The house served our needs perfectly and had plenty of room for our group of 4 adults. There were lots of thoughtful, personal touches throughout the house, and communication with the host was excellent. It really felt like staying in a HOME - and a cozy one at that! The location is great, super close to the lake and downtown, with a really nice view. We will be back for sure and would absolutely recommend this house to anyone looking to stay in the Detroit area.

Thank you Zoe! So good to hear the house worked well for your group.
We strive to make the house and its amenities what we would want when renting a vacation home so you don’t have to pack up half your personal belongings from home to be comfortable.
This house is amazing. The house was SO clean, and nicely furnished/decorated. There were indoor and outdoor entertainment spaces for all. The location is fantastic; it is less than a mile to the marina and just across the highway from main street and the local store. Our large group had a wonderful time, and I would definitely stay at this house again.

About the host
Hosted by Chris & Nancy Powell
We live in nearby Salem, OR. This is our first vacation home as a rental, but Nancy has many years in the hospitality business from opening the Napa Valley Railway Inn to managing Embassy Suites Hotels.
Sharing our home and vacationing with friends and family is our pastime. We love to travel locally and abroad, wherever you are, it's all about the experience!
Why they chose this property
Detroit is less than an hour from the Willamette Valley. You can escape to the water and the mountains in no time.
The home is large for the family and friends to gather together and still have personal space. With four separate sleeping spaces, it's a great spot for a extended family gathering, guys or girl's weekend, church retreat, or teambuilding weekend.
There is even a short path up the hill where you can pitch a large tent. Lots of great memories to be made here.
What makes this property unique
The original owners planted Bear Grass as part of the landscaping. A family friend made the Bear Grass Lodge sign using a magnifying glass to burn in the details into the wood plank that hangs in the entryway. The name has stuck!
We have lots of parking and plenty of room for boat trailers. Inside there's plenty of elbow room and outside lots of space for everyone to enjoy the outdoors.
