Hi! I’m a retired fitness professional, with a love for travel, adventure, and the finer things in life. My partner and I, (recently married!!) have several properties in the area, and are happy to host you! We’re into health, great food, cultural events, and creating amazing spaces for our guests. It is unlikely that you will see us throughout your stay, but we respond to messages very quickly, and have on-call maintenance and cleaning staff as needed. Upon booking, you will be asked to sign a renter’s agreement, submit ID, and put a security deposit hold on file. This is a local family’s home. They are gone during your stay, and are lovingly opening it up to you, their guests. The basement, which will be locked off, will be housing the family’s two indoor cats during your stay. There is an additional locked outside door to that basement, which a neighbor will be coming by daily, to feed them through. This neighbor will not bother you, and you will have no interaction with them, nor any reason to be bothered by the cats.

Nestled in the woods, atop Vineyard Mountain, lies the family home known as The Mountain House. Natural sunlight bathes this three bedroom home, as skylights are found throughout. A gourmet kitchen awaits family meals, and evenings can be spent next to the fireplace, or in the jetted tub. The kitchen has a gas cooktop, a beautiful copper sink, a double oven, stainless appliances, and a stone counter bar top, which seats two. Four more dining seats await you at the upright dining table, which overlooks the forest valley, and the second living room doubles as the entertainment space, with access to streaming TV. A 1/2 bathroom, and an outdoor deck complete the downstairs. Up the staircase, the main bedroom boasts a California King, its own private deck, an overhead skylight, and an ensuite bathroom w/ a walk in shower, and a deep jetted tub. Two more bedrooms in this upstairs: one with a queen sized bed, and another with a double bed and corner desk. There is an additional bathroom up here with a vanity sink, and tub/shower combo. The laundry room also resides in the upstairs.

This beautiful family home, has been designated a Certified Wildlife Habitat, by the National Wildlife Federation, for the amount of flora and fauna that reside here. Expect to have your morning coffee on the two outdoor decks amongst the birds chirping, and hear the rippling creek nearby. The main level’s outdoor deck features a gas grill, a bistro table with umbrella, and a retractable overhead awning. There is an air mattress available for the usage of extra guests. Dozens of hiking trails can be found throughout this forest, the trailheads of which start just down the hill, at Peavy Arboretum. A little further away is The Saddle, a locals’ favorite hiking spot. It’s a 16 minute drive to Oregon State University. A 9 minute drive to the Samaritan Medical Complex. Less than an hour to the top of Mary’s Peak. One hour to the beach. 1.5 hours to Portland International Airport.
