Once you arrive, and enter the gated front entrance, the guesthouse is the smaller white building straight ahead. There’s onsite parking available for two vehicles, just left of the retreat.

The main living space boasts 11 ft ceilings with plenty of natural light. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances, custom cabinets, quartz countertops, matte black finishes, and open shelving that features modern farmhouse decor. It’s filled with all the necessities you’ll need to cook, bake, and eat including dishware, silverware, utensils, a full set of pots and pans, and other kitchen supplies like a strainer, cheese grater, hand towels, etc. There is also a dining area in the kitchen, perfect for a party of 4.

In the living room, you’ll find a sectional and armchair, as well as a 60inch HD TV, equipped with Fire TV so you can login to all of your favorite streaming apps. The guesthouse has high speed WiFi, with speeds of 250+ mbps.

The house is equipped with a tankless water heater, providing you ENDLESS hot water, making it the perfect place to wash your worries away. The bathroom is spa-like, with a rainfall shower head, sliding glass door, modern tile work and plenty of little extras to make you feel right at home, including plush towels, makeup rags, washcloths, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, a hair dryer, q-tips and a washer and dryer.

Each bedroom has a queen gel memory foam mattress and tasteful decor to provide you with a stress-free oasis when you wind down at night. In the closets you’ll find shelving and hangers for your clothes, an iron and ironing board, and first aid kit. The master closet is also where we store all of the infant essentials like the portable crib, crib mattress, highchair, toys and books.

Out back you’ll have your own private deck with an outdoor seating set for 4, a propane barbecue with all the necessary utensils, and a propane fire pit to relax around. Out front is a in-ground basketball hoop with basketballs for guests to enjoy. Feel free to relax in the quiet of our 2.5 acre property!

We’re excited to welcome you and hope you’ll love it as much as we do.

Clean, calm, and peaceful getaway

Rich and Courtney were great hosts. The house was perfect for my Dad and I while I prepped for the Salem 70.3 ironman. The home was clean, peaceful and had everything we needed. The back porch was an awesome change of pace from the city I normally live. I worked remotely for the week and the WiFi was awesome, no issues. I took Teams calls with and without video, no issues. Check in and out was seamless.

Family was pleased

We stayed here this past weekend with my in-laws to attend a graduation. We were all impressed with a) the beauty of the property b) the cleanliness of the place and c) all the little touches that the hosts did to make us feel welcome. I especially appreciated the fluffy robes that they provided to us! Felt like we were at a spa retreat. My father-in-law declined going out to dinner with us the first day we were there so he could relax on the back porch and take in the serenity. He mentioned repeatedly how relaxing the property was. And we all shared the same sentiment. We’d stay again even without having a graduation to go to!

Great Little Farmhouse Style Cottage Close to Many Vineyards

The house was well decorated and had every amenity needed to make this a wonderful stay. Very quiet location overlooking a meadow with cows and hills. The back porch area was great for sitting at night simply to relax. While there was a great T.V. we hardly used it as we preferred to be on the porch. The bathroom was large bright and clean with a large walk in shower, and a washer and dryer which came in handy. There are several great wineries located nearby our favorite was Coria Estates which had stunning views of the nearby hills and MT Hood. Rich and Courtney were friendly and there to answer any questions we had. We will be back again!

Wonderful: Clean, Comfy, Kind, and Comvenient

There’s no way that our stay could have been better. Everything is well appointed and comfortable. The beds were luxurious and comfy. Kitchen had all the conveniences. Our view out the back was so peaceful. We wished we could stay longer. The hosts were on top of any requests immediately. This is definitely a five star.
