Countryside Retreat: Chef's Kitchen So Many Stars!

MelRating, 5 stars2 months ago

We had such a wonderful weekend. So close to the Sheep Rock Unit of the John Day Fossil Beds and we enjoyed an easy day trip to the Painted Hills as well. Great bird watching from the deck. If you’re looking for a quiet get away, this is the place. The home was well equipped with the essentials and the homeowner was quick to answer questions.

Klickitat Canyon Cabin

KatherineRating, 5 stars1 week ago

My husband and I absolutely adored Klickitat Cabin. Before we even arrived Beda was excellent about communicating, and when we stepped inside we wanted to move in immediately (and wished we'd booked a few extra days there). The interior design is pitch perfect, from the colors of the pillows and linens and rugs to the art on the walls, but it's one of those places that's also as cozy and comfortable as it is stylish and chic (which I find to be rare). The kitchen had everything we needed; they more than provided for our little mini schnauzer with a bed and blankets and bowls; the views out the windows are beautiful; the beds were superbly comfortable, and the sound of the bugs was the perfect white noise. We had a great hike on Catherine Creek, too! Would absolutely recommend.

J&J Forest Cabin Stay

KristaRating, 5 stars5 days ago

Joy’s tiny house is fantastic! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Pristine, cute, comfortable, and a beautiful location. Everything has so much thought and care put into it. The outdoor shower was amazing- loved that. Outdoor kitchen with the gas grill was awesome. We cooked our food the whole time. The composting toilet was super clean. Not stinky or uncomfortable in the least, for those who might be reluctant to pull the trigger on this gem because of it. Joy and Joshua are super friendly, helpful hosts. You could hear the river all day, owls and turkey at night. Bugs weren’t too bad. So much hiking nearby. 10/10 overall. We would love to be back!

The house was great, well kept, safe, and clean. The traffic from I84 was a little noisy but the trains both east and west and north and south were often and noisy. The location was great to easily get to hiking and fishing spots. The host was great!
