The John Day Fossil Beds National Monument: The John Day Fossil National Monument has 3 units, all easily reached by scenic roads that pass through spectacular landscapes. The Painted Hills, poetically beautiful at any time, are only 15 minutes away from Mitchell and provide a glimpse of this areas ancient history. The second unit called Sheep Rock is about a 40 minute drive away and is the location of the Thomas Condon Visitor Center and Museum of Paleontology. A great place to see fossils and replicas of prehistoric plants and animals. Its great for children of all ages. Not far from there is the Cant Ranch House presenting the historical aspect of area with artifacts from pioneer days. The Blue Basin is a favorite of ours. Its a mile from the visitor center and has excellent hiking paths through amazing rock formations in all shades of greens and blues. The 3rd unit is found near the town of Fossil and is called the Clarno Formation, gigantic rock palisades made from volcanic mud and lava flows millions of years ago.

The John Day River: The John Day River is one of the longest un-dammed rivers of North America. It flows wild and free through canyons, gorges, and picture-book wilderness, passing incredible rock formations and rugged landscapes, pastures, and sandy river beaches. The John Day River is magical in all the seasons, and is inviting you to explore, discover,hike, swim, raft, and fish. There are many areas off the beaten track where you can experience the river in all its glory, no matter what the season. There are many places along the John Day River beds that ares brimming with wild life, rare birds and plants. There is always something to see. In winter the river is often frozen and has a different kind of beauty. In spring it is swollen with melting water from the mountains and rushes through the valleys with a powerful force. Summer its rafting time and taking a cooling plunge from the rocks into a swimming hole. We would love to show you our favorite river spots!

There are various snow-parks, protected wilderness recreation areas, and hiking paths through old forest growth.

Romantic getaway in central eastern Oregon

tausyankee Brisbane, Australia
Review Submitted: September 2, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
I recently had the great fortune of being able to spend a week staying at this wonderful garden cottage, one of the hidden gems of the high desert in Eastern Oregon.

A green oasis situated in a canyon above tiny Mitchell, the delightful (and decidely green thumbed) German owners have created the perfect artist weekend gateway to the Painted Hills.

One of the greatest ways to see the hills is at its best, early in the morning, when the low desert sun paints the ancient clays bright yellows, reds and black and its not yet scorching hot. I can think of no better way to get an early start on exploring the natural wild beauty of this corner of Wheeler county than waking up to a riot of songbirds outside my window and getting myself a nice breakfast with local fresh peaches and apricots in the fully equipped kitchen, and to return from a day of exploring to collapse in one of the comfortable beds.

Everything that is needed for a weekend - or a week - is there at hand. There's even a wide selection of interesting DVDs. Everything is spotless - the perfect place to unwind in Eastern Oregon.
Owner's Response: We are always happy to hear from our guests how much they enjoyed their stay with us. This area is so unusual and wild - Mother Nature at her best! It seems like the secret of how special it is, is slowly getting out as we get busier every year, many of our guests returning. We like to share our favorite spots to hike and swim,where to make the best photographs, and find fossils. There is so much to discover! And then, after an adventurous day, the guests return to the sanctuary of the garden and the cottage. Its so peaceful here.We love it too!

Enchanting hideaway

Rainnnn Coast Range, Oregon
Review Submitted: September 25, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
When we decided to spend almost a week in the John Day area, I began looking online for homes to rent as it's my favorite way to travel. I have stayed in John Day several times and camped in the hills but this time I wanted a house and found one for three of the days that provided the kind of energy I love as well as a base from which to drive out.

It was on the hills above Mitchell and in a narrow alley if you can call gravel roads like that alleys. Once parked, you open a gate and enter into a magical garden created by the owner of the home. There were colorful flowers, fruit trees, lawns, gardens, flagstone steps leading to the door. The house itself is one of two, both for rent, with a combined room between to use for playing games or just enjoying. Everything was set up for intellectual and emotional refreshment.

We had the opportunity to visit with the owner of the home and her daughter who has been helping manage the rentals. The family originally came to the John Day country from Seattle where they saw what they considered for years to be the perfect vacation retreat for the husband who is a painter and the wife who is a writer and master gardener. Eventually they moved to the area.

The vacation rental came into being when they found another home farther out from town. Frankly that home today is way beyond where where you'd expect an older person to want to live unless you met the older person and saw her total love of nature and the rugged landscape of the John Day. The view out there goes beyond words.

The rental cottage is very homey, full of the husband's paintings but also books and movies to watch-- no television which was fine with us as we aren't much for TV anyway. It did have wireless internet which was worth more to me than cable TV. From it, we could easily drive out to the Painted Hills National Monument, which is the kind of place you could be for years and never feel or see it all.

Although we only had three days at the cottage, I have every intention of getting back for more time in more seasons. N
