About this property

Vacation and Business Get-A-Way/Lay-Over

A Fly-in or Drive-in retreat.
Discounts with stays over 5 nights.
One of 4 places we have. If this is taken, inquire anyway for possible cancellations or other openings. John Day Valley Rentals
The John Day Valley Chalet, as we like to call it, is located right above the town of John Day, Oregon and just below the airport. It has a great view of the entire eastern valley and of Big Canyon Mountain to the south. It is a perfect vacation home for families or an ideal location as a corporate lodging facility for those coming for a few days on business in the valley.
The Chalet is very private, sitting on 3 acres, out of sight of the few other homes in the area. It is completely furnished with a complete modern kitchen and all the amenities of a nice country retreat, though you won't be roughing it. It sleeps 6 in three spacious bedrooms with pillow top queen beds and a couple of single floor mattresses for the kids or extra vacationers. There are two full bathrooms, one with double sink and double shower and large walk-in closet.
There is dish TV with HBO and player with numerous videos, CD player, internet and local telephone as well as laundry room.
Outside we have a 15 x 22 ft. deck with Patio set and Bar and Bar-b-que. Steps go down to a large yard overlooking the valley complete with Gazebo, Fire pit, Horse shoe pit and just outdoor lounging.
The driveway is large enough for large RV's to turn around in or park next to the home itself.
There is also a nice 6 x 10 ft. wire kennel with dog house for outside use and a dog house in the garage for inside use on cold or hot days.
No dogs in the house. Hardwood floors and wood and cloth furniture.
Like I said, the home is totally furnished and equipped. Just bring your suitcase and your groceries.
It is beautiful, quiet and clean and we leave the keys in our car in this country.

Spring Break/ birthday
It was absolutely beautiful. The view in the morning sitting outside drinking my coffee was priceless. The was so much to see around John Day. The people were very pleasant in town. We loved the neighbor hood deer. Jim is a very nice man to talk to and very helpful. The house was clean and stocked with almost everything you would need. I would love to stay there again.

Relaxing retreat
This house is in a great location, close to restaurants, etc., but up & away from traffic. It was a great jump off point for our exploration. Comfortable beds, well appointed kitchen, beautiful view from the deck. Very relaxing space.

Family Get Together
The view of John Day and the valley is beautiful. The yard and porches were well kept and we all had a great time playing horse shoes and hanging outside. The house is well stocked don’t over shop like I did! We would stay here again. Five stars!

About the host

Hosted by Jim and Sandy Bay

Host profile image
Jim discovered the John Day Valley in August of 1972.
He bought an old mining claim on Big Canyon Mountain that day and has been enjoying the valley ever since. He came up every year for 34 years always with the dream to retire here.
Jim and Sandy finally moved to the John Day Valley permanently in 2006 and wanted to provide quality vacation rentals for others to be able to enjoy vacation here also. They now have 3 vacation properties in the valley, each one very different from the other.

Why they chose this property

We loved this property for its privacy, access to town, beautiful views and all the up to date amenities of a modern efficient, yet country home.

What makes this property unique

Centrally located to entire valley and town yet totally private and quiet.
Great for reunions and group events and meetings with large deck with bar-b-q and bar and big living room and landscaped high desert yard and views forever.
