We’re here if you need us—and invisible if you don’t. Our small team works hard behind the scenes to keep the property safe, clean, and beautiful. You may see us (or our sweet maintenance guy) around from time to time, especially during checkouts, yard work, or if a guest requests assistance. We also live on-site part-time in a private area and commute weekly to Oregon. Your privacy is always respected.
Human neighbors are friendly, but enjoy the privacy that country life ensures. The numerous animal neighbors are furry, or feathered, and some are approachable; but most are pretty shy. (domestic rabbits, barn cats, deer, frogs, birds, raccoon, bobcats, quail, squirrels, skunks, etc...)
All of our guests really LOVE the outdoor shower and we know that you will too! Lovely fluffy towels and a warm, fuzzy, robe is provided so dressing and undressing for your long, hot, outdoor shower is easy and convenient.
There is no cell service in our canyon but enabling wifi-calling on your phone will provide a equivalent signal via our recently upgraded routers and service.
