About this property

Location:
Located just a few miles from the stunning Painted Hills, one of the 7 Wonders of Oregon, our home is spacious and open with modern amenities and relaxing outdoor spaces. We have completely updated the house with all new furniture and beautiful design touches making it the perfect place to stay when exploring Central & Eastern Oregon!

A short walk to Mitchell's Main Street with a brewery, three restaurants, general store, and a gas station, this house is centrally located and but feels very private when relaxing in the back yard.

Our House:
This house has two bedrooms with new queen size beds and memory foam mattresses along with an additional queen size sleeper sofa in the living room. Each bed has soft sheets, extra blankets if needed and plenty of pillows.

Our large kitchen has stainless steel appliances including a large refrigerator, dishwasher, new stove, microwave & toaster oven. It is well stocked with dishware and cookware along with cooking staples such as spices and oil making it easy to cook all your favorite meals. We also have a propane grill in our back yard, with propane included!

We have a Keurig single serve coffee maker with several complimentary pods to use and a coffee press if you bring ground coffee (We do not have a coffee grinder).

Our dining table is extendable for seating and we provide extra chairs for seating up to six people.

We have a fenced front yard, and a very large fenced back yard with a covered patio, seating for 6, and cornhole & croquet for entertainment.

We have free wifi, a dvd player with a selection of movies, a Roku streaming device that can be used with your Netflix, Prime or Hulu accounts and books and games. We do not provide cable or satellite tv.

We are also listed on Airbnb (with many more reviews) if that is easier for you to book!

Lovely home, lovely town!

We had a wonderful stay. The property was clean, comfortable, quiet, and overall exactly as described. Mitchell is a lovely spot - the brewery is a hidden gem. We enjoyed our stay so much we're already discussing when we can head back for another visit.

Peace and quiet and beer, oh my.

Totally fine accommodations. Very close to town but just soooo quiet. Loved the backyard for bird watching. Would prefer an electric tea kettle over using one on the stovetop, but that is just me and my worry about being forgetful. We were able to hike Sutton Mountain, Black Canyon, Black Canyon Wilderness area, Lookout Mountain and the Painted Hills all from one location. Sweet.

Perfect Base Camp for Exploring John Day Fossil Beds Nat'l Monument and Wheeler County

Erin and John's property in Mitchell is a real gem. If you're looking for a nice family base camp located centrally between the three units of the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, this is the place. We spent five nights and were able to hike every official trail in JDFBNM. The photos on VRBO do it justice. The house is very spacious, comfortable and convenient for walking into town for groceries or a meal. The beds (mattresses) were very comfortable and we all slept well. Water pressure is great and there's plenty of hot water thanks to the tankless water heater. The lawns are nicely kept and made for fun family (BYO) badminton matches, cartwheels, etc. The neighborhood is quiet with very little traffic. The wi-fi was great for streaming videos and attending video-conferences. There's a great selection of books, DVDs, board games, cards and field guides. The kitchen has all of the modern amenities and is well stocked with utensils, etc. We were so happy to have stayed and were sad to leave. We'd love to return again someday.

About the host

Hosted by Erin Crum

After seeing countless photos of the Painted Hills and the John Day Fossil Beds, we decided to take our first trip to visit and found not only the Hills themselves to be more beautiful than expected, but we fell in love with the entire area and decided to buy a house here after only one visit. While we aren't able to live in Mitchell, Oregon full time, we visit as often as possible and are happy to be able to share our house with others to enjoy as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

We purchased our house because we loved the open layout and spacious yard and it immediately felt like a place we wanted to spend time. We carefully updated and decorated the house with a simple and modern design aesthetic that felt both welcoming and comfortable and had the house ready to go in late 2016.
