Further details for this vacation cottage rental in Mitchell, Oregon

The John Day Fossil Beds National Monument:: John Day Fossil Beds National Monument protects one of the longest and most continuous records of evolutionary change and biotic relationships in North America. Here, scientists have unearthed countless fossils of land plants and animals dating back 6 to 54 million years as well as evidence of the dramatic climatic changes that have occurred. The monument includes over 14,000 acres found in 3 widely separated units, the Sheep Rock Unit, Painted Hills Unit and Clarno Unit. The Painted Hills are located 9 miles from Mitchell. Sheep Rock is about 38 miles and houses the monument's visitor center as well as the Thomas Condon Paleontology museum with its large collection of ancient fossils. The Clarno unit is close to Fossil, about an hour drive from Mitchell. All drives are magnificent scenic byways capturing the landscape's diversity and beauty. Its possible to dig your own fossils in the Wheeler High School Fossil Beds. More info can be obtained from the Oregon Paleo Lands Institute.

Ochoco Mountains:: About 20 miles from Mitchell are the Ochoco mountains with Evergreen forests and various snow parks offering great opportunities for cross- country skiing, sledding and snowmobiling. The Ochoco Nordic Club in Prineville offers classes and cross country skiing trips there throughout the winter. In early summer this region is great for morel mushroom hunting, and hiking.

The John Day River:: The John Day is spectacular river with incredible scenery and unspoiled beauty. With its 280 miles of length it is the longest un-dammed river in the Pacific Northwest and is federally protected as a Wild and Scenic River. The basalt formations and bluffs are typical of this region and some of the cliffs and palisades along the shores tower more than 3,000 feet high above the river.The John Day is a favorite for bird watching as it is in the heart of the Pacific Flyway. Look out for Canadian geese, hawks and humming birds. There is great winter Steelhead and bass fishing, with the drifting time beginning in spring running through June. From Mitchell there are various different routes to get to the river and we will be happy to show you our favorite spots for swimming,and hiking. The river is particular magnificent in spring as it is swollen with melting water. Rafting season begins in May and ends in August when it becomes too low.Swimming is best in July and August.

Peace and Quiet

molliette Salem, Massachusetts
Review Submitted: May 16, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
For weary people who want to get away from business and commitments, here is a place to drop out and become unavailable. This area of Oregon gets no cell phone reception, so that's one annoyance out of the way right off the bat. We used a phone card and the owner's land line to maintain only essential contacts. Internet was available via satelite, and it was possible to limit ourselves to short periods of work.
The main reason to come here was the uncomplicated natural environment of a cottage in a walled in garden, with a fabulous landscape of high desert all around us. Imagine driving for miles on a road with no one in front of or behind you! A landscape more like Arizona than the Pacific Northwest, with colorful eroding mountains filled with fossils and lots of wide blue sky....This sort of change of scenery brought us the rest we needed. The owner has made a clean, cheerful spot with European sensibility in the middle of a tiny town off the beaten track. We're definitely going to return!
Owner's Response: We are always happy to hear from our guests and share their enthusiasm and love for this unusual and breathtaking region. Even though by now we have gotten used to the compliments about our cottages, we still enjoy to hear them again and again. This place truly is an oasis in the desert and we hope it will rejuvenate many more people in the future.

Our home away from home

Jim & Donna Olympic Peninsula of Washington
Review Submitted: August 23, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
This summer we stayed for our second time at the Hollyhocks House, four nights this time. We just love this place, and think of the little town of Mitchell as our second home. We live in the old growth Rain Forest on the Washington peninsula, but used to live in southern Arizona for almost twenty years, so we like to see the desert every so often. Last year we came in August, when the big chokecherry tree out front had berries on it. When we were watching the birds at one point they all shrieked and flew away fast, and I said to my wife that must be a predator warning cry. Lo and behold, a hawk had come down into the tree across the street and just stayed there, watching, for a long time. Eventually it flew off, and the birds returned. We used to watch the birds like that all the time in Arizona, but, funny as it seems, there is little bird watching here from our house. Desert or dry areas seem to be a lot better for bird watching. We really enjoyed that part of our stay, and, of course, the Painted Hills. There is so much to explore in the area, from the desert to the river to the high mountain areas to the paleontology museum to 'world famous' Henry the bear in town. When we get tired we head back and sit on the porch and enjoy the incredible garden, or pick some fruit or berries. It's just an adorable, romantic little house. Aruna is such a nice, hospitable person, too, she's just great. We've already started planning our trip for next year. We kind of hate to post this and tell everyone how great this place is because we want it to stay a quiet, nestled getaway, and the last thing we want is to have to battle lots of other people for our reservations!
Owner's Response: It's wonderful for us to have guests coming back again and to hear their positive feedback.We enjoy their nature adventures, their insights, and their joy to be here in this special place. The best part is when people who arrived exhausted from their busy lifes start to open up for nature,deeply relax in the surrounding beauty and leave rejuvinated and happy.

Best vacation ever.

Russ & Jennifer Portland, Oregon
Review Submitted: July 31, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Our week at the Hollyhock Guest House was, hands-down the most relaxing and enjoyable vacation we have ever had. The house was clean, cheery and bright as well as nicely appointed; everything you could want in the kitchen, bedding and bath-- including a fabulous shower. The house is graced with a wonderful old-fashioned porch we practically lived on and a gorgeous, well tended surrounding garden. Not only are the Painted Hills Vacation Rentals nice, their owner and manger are some of the greatest people you will ever meet. Mitchell makes the perfect place to explore the vast John Day country-- digging fossils, taking photos of awesome landscapes and lots of wildlife. Also, everyone we met in Mitchell were good folks, easy going, friendly and always helpful. We cannot recommend these rentals enough and will return there in different seasons as well as high summer (there is a cozy rec-room with Franklin stove that looks perfect for cooler weather). We think we have found our home away from home. Oh and wireless internet and satellite TV are available if you even want them (hint, we never turned on the TV).

We enjoyed our stay at your cottage! The kids loved hanging out in the barn watching movies and playing games. We loved the quiet and lovely garden and relaxed with a cup of coffee each morning on the front porch.
