About this property
Fern Hill Lodge - Luxury Log Retreat with Fishing Pond in Oregon Wine Country
Fern Hill Lodge is perfect for family & friend gatherings and retreats. Located in the country yet close to two towns, it offers a peaceful setting for connecting and making memories. Parking is limited to 12 or 13 cars so groups over 30 are not feasible. We are not set up for weddings or large parties. There is a minimum of 26 hours between reservations and all rooms are cleaned by a commercial company.
The themed rooms, rustic decor, gourmet kitchen and theater room offer something for everyone. There are 3 levels with beds for up to 24 people. For relaxation, take a walk down to the dock at the one acre fishing pond and catch large mouth bass, blue gill and crappie (be sure to release them, too!). Or take a stroll through the seven acre forest on the other side of the fishing pond. The trees will refresh your spirit and energize your body. It's also relaxing to watch the goldfish swimming around in the smaller pond in front of the house.
Or you might like to watch the sunrise on the 700 square foot covered slate deck along the southeast side of the house overlooking the fishing pond. Experience a surround sound movie in the theater room that will seat 18. Bring your favorite flicks or lots to choose from here.
Bedrooms: the Master Suite has 2 queen beds, walk-in closet, access to the deck outside and 46 inch flat screen TV with satellite service that can swivel to be viewed from the jetted tub. We call the big walk-in slate shower 'the Cave.' You'll love the massaging effect the smooth river rock floor has on your feet. The room has a heated slate floor and double granite vanity with raised copper sinks and waterfall faucets.
The Parlor bedroom is also on the main floor. It is the feminine counterpoint to the rest of the house with quilts, needlework & frillery. It has a king bed and uses the main floor guest bath with tub/shower combo, heated slate floor and raised copper sink with waterfall faucet.
The Loft sports a full size Murphy bed, reading nook with sofa, games, and foosball.
Through the Loft is the Nest, a large room with 4XL twin beds usable as 4 twins or 2 kings. It also has a couch and flat screen TV with satellite and Wii game console. There are some Wii games available but feel free to bring your own. Lots of board games, playing cards, coloring books, puzzles, dice, etc. in the cupboard in the office on the main level.
Downstairs is the Fishing Room with a king bed and its own private bath with granite vanity and tub/shower combo. It has an outside door leading to the covered patio for early morning coffee or a soak in the hot tub.
Also downstairs are the Hunting and Cowboy rooms. The Hunting Room has a king bed and also opens out onto the hot tub patio. The Cowboy Room has a queen bed and a set of log bunk beds. It does not open to the outside, perfect for children. These two rooms share a bath with granite vanity and tub/shower combo.
The theater room seats 14 in genuine theater chairs and another 4 on two couches. With its 10 foot screen, Blu-ray/DVD player, VHS player, satellite TV, HDMI hook-up for computers and 7.1 surround sound, it's the perfect setup for movie watching or presentations. Complete with popcorn machine & wet bar area with refrigerator and microwave. Sleeps 2 young adults or 4 children on two comfy foldout full-size couches.
The gourmet kitchen includes a six-burner Capital gas range with oven, an electric wall oven, warming drawer, dishwasher, TWO refrigerators, Advantium microwave oven, Keurig coffee maker (bring your K-cups) plus 2 regular coffee makers, cherry cabinets, granite counters, two copper farmhouse sinks, handmade copper hood, pantry, dishes and glassware for 30, two electric griddles, two waffle irons, a rice cooker and a full array of cooking utensils and small appliances.
You'll never want to leave the Great Room with its 25' ceiling, huge log trestle, rustic decor, comfortable leather couches with built-in recliners, and 60 inch flat screen Smart TV with satellite service and Blu-ray player. The room has three levels of lighting: ambient ceiling lights for TV viewing, fan lights for socializing, and reading lamps for, well, reading. It also has a massive real river rock gas fireplace for chilly evenings.
The garage is equipped for exercising with treadmill, elliptical, recumbent bike and weight machine. A ping pong table makes for fun tournaments! Frisbees, hula hoops, bocci ball, small corn hole set, croquet and horseshoe equipment also available.

About the host
Hosted by Polly McCrea Foster

Polly McCrea Foster operates Fern Hill Lodge with much help from her husband Don and family members. We love sharing our little piece of Heaven with others who enjoy and respect the country vibe.
Why they chose this property
In 1994 Polly & Jerry, Polly's late husband, started searching for property away from the hustle & bustle of the big city of Portland. Their search kept widening until they came upon 160 acres nestled in the hills between Dallas & Monmouth. It was exactly what they had been searching for. Through the years they have sold many 5 acre home sites and created the friendly community of Fern Hill. You might meet some of them walking down the road or out for a stroll down to the fishing pond which is shared with all the neighbors. Polly & Jerry, their friends and family, personally planted most of the 22,000 trees on the property. In addition to these 'younger' trees are numerous majestic 300+ year old oaks.
What makes this property unique
Mini resort on 25 acres, large fishing pond with dock, kayak, canoe and rowboat, serene goldfish pond, forest, 6 bedrooms plus loft, 4 baths, 18 seat theater room with 10' screen and 3 other smart TV's all with satellite, board games, puzzles, foosball, Wii, ping pong, corn hole, frisbees, weight machine, treadmill, elliptical, outdoor deck & patios, BBQ, library, DVD's.
