About the host

Hosted by Kathryn

Host profile image
We are a mother-daughter team who love traveling, camping, hiking, gardening and bird watching. Dee is a long-time residence of the area since relocating for love from Vancouver, Canada in the early 1950’s. Kathryn and her husband moved into the Anderson dairy farm almost 30-years ago. Over the years, Kathryn and her husband have been reclaiming the land back into the original wetlands from a soggy hay field. They planted trees and dug the ponds then waited while nature did the rest. Soon after the ponds were done, birds, frogs, fish, beaver, otter and other wildlife moved in. We love to watch the wide variety of activity on the 15 acres and look forward to sharing the experience with you.

Why they chose this property

We are centrally located 10-30 minutes from Salem, Albany, Corvallis, Independence and Monmouth and minutes from several hiking and kayaking/boating activities in a secluded area where you can relax and unwind from your daily activity.

The 900 sq. ft. Craftsman house is on a private 15 acre wetland providing excellent views of a wide range of birds and other wildlife. French doors open to a deck and huge yard that meets the wetland and walking path around the ponds. Less than 2 miles from the house, enjoy kayaking and walking the Luckiamute Landing Trails at the confluence of the Luckiamute, Santiam and Willamette rivers. Relaxed open design, vaulted ceilings, queen beds, Wi-Fi, smart tv with Netflix, HBO, Disney+, full kitchen and coffee bar.

What makes this property unique

The view from the deck and back yard provide closeup bird and wildlife viewing opportunities not found most places. In the spring, you can watch proud Canada Geese parents out with their Goslings feeding in the lawn and swimming in the pond. The evening brings out hundreds of Swallow's feeding over the pond. At night you will hear Coyotes howling and see owls silently hunting for their dinner.
