This Guest House is far enough from the urban area to feel like a getaway, but close enough to Springfield/Eugene for shopping and supplies. The grounds by the structures are very well-kept and attractively landscaped, and a stroll around the property will take you on a fetching tour of a fruit orchard and meadow, a rustic mini-rain forest along a creek, oak stands, and of course, the shore of the lovely McKenzie River. The house itself is airy, bright and welcoming, with fascinating artwork throughout. It has everything you need to feel at home -- but luckily, you are the guest – and Tom and Karen are thoughtful, attentive and accommodating hosts. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Guest House as it served as a gathering place for our family for a virtual graduation and a couple of birthdays (50 and 77 year olds), and also as a calming respite for us when the celebration events were over. Any future visits to the area, this will be our go to place to stay!
