"Wow, what a neat place! Really liked the common areas on the 2nd and 3rd floors. We played chess and read to the kids there. No need for the fireplace this time of year, but it was pretty. Beds super comfy, really comfortable rooms. We'll be sure to be there on a weekend next time when the bar is open. "

"Great location for exploring John Day Park locations. Very comfortable. Make sure you download the directions beforehand as there is no WIFI in the surrounding areas."

"This place worked for us fine. It’s definitely a bit on the funky side as an old home that seems to have been added onto a few times. Things were comfortable enough, but it just didn’t have that clean feeling. My biggest issue, however, was the price. When all was said and done, it was over $400 a night. I have never in my life spent that much for a hotel room, not even at the Hilton Waikoloa resort on the Big Island. I might have been ok w the price if the entire place had been nicer. But, for example, the sheets on the bed were old pilled jersey sheets, and I don’t even want to know why I ended up itching so badly those two nights. The thing is, not only are there almost no hotels or rentals in the area, there are also almost no restaurants (Mitchell does have 1 or 2). So I booked it NOT realizing there would be an additional $100 fee for 2 dogs for 2 nights. So there just isn’t much choice. I wouldn’t stay there again, but I also don’t really need to stay in the area again. I hate being negative and have never left a remotely negative review, but I was just gobsmacked by the price, and then was unable to cancel and get a refund. Oh well. It’s whimsical and convenient?"

"Absolutely fantastic views, better than the photos. Perfect spot for our family to hike, dig fossils, and enjoy beautiful sunsets on the deck."

"We had such a lovely stay! So easy to access the John Day monuments from here. The house was clean, comfortable, and well stocked. We would definitely stay here again."

"This is the 3rd year we have stayed at this property and each year it gets better. Looking forward to next year"

"Kara and Brian made us feel like family. They are sweet and accommodating. The Homestead room was roomy, beds were comfortable. Trail ride was so much fun. Loved every moment spent there and can’t wait to go back"

"Nice stay. Would be nice to have chaise lounge on deck. "
