Wonderful home

This house is the perfect place to stay if you want to see the Painted Hills. It was clean and comfortable, and the fenced yard was perfect for my two dogs! The caretakers were so friendly and helpful as well. We had everything we needed and would definitely stay again!

Great central location!

If you’re planning a trip to the Painted Hills or John Day Fossil Beds, this is your place! Centrally located, it’s an easy drive to everywhere. The property is very nice, fenced in yard for dogs if you have them, and is quiet. Don’t forget to check out Tiger Town brewery, great food and drinks!

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.

Great home away from home

They had everything you’d need, plus much more! The kitchen and bathroom were completely stocked. Plenty of dishes, cookware, spices, condiments, coffee, tea and more!! They even provided a high chair which was perfect for our visiting grandchild! Look forward to staying again in the futureVery spacious with an open living concept.

Perfect for John Day

Erin's house was great! We had two people so more space than we needed. The kitchen is fully stocked with any appliance you might want (although we did bring our own coffee grinder) and Erin was extremely helpful. The neighbors in this small town were so friendly and the house was in the perfect location to be our home base while we explored John Day.

The property was wonderful and perfect for hanging out since Mitchell is such a dreary place that we would not visit again. The owner was very nice and helped so much with the very user unfriendly VRBO.

Great location, gorgeous surrounding

Quaint small town with plenty of friendly locals. The area was incredibly beautiful, though there was fire smoke that rolled in from wildfires during the evening of our last stay (out of control of anyone in VRBO or the owner). Located off a pretty quiet highway and nestled in a quiet neighborhood. The yard and property were spacious and very well maintained. The back yard is great for hanging out and socializing as its got plenty of seating and a view of the back hills.

Neighbors

Spacious living space , charming community helpful neighbors, very good emergency help, thanks to Glenn. The whole surrounding area is unique and stunning. My husband fell on a hike and once we got to Mitchell, Glenn helped us find the medical help we needed. Host Erin is very thorough and helpful. Wish we had stayed longer!

Better than expected!

Our stay at this property exceeded our expectations in every way! The spacious house and fully fenced yard met all the needs of humans and dog alike. It felt as though we were staying in a friend’s home, not a rental. Plenty of high quality linens, a kitchen as well stocked as any we’ve ever stayed in, really comfortable furniture, and a lovely quiet neighbourhood. It was the perfect home base for exploring the area. Communication with the host was accurate and easy, which enabled us to relax and enjoy our stay. Bonus: if you don’t feel like cooking, Tiger Town (local brew pub) makes great food and beverages!

Perfect getaway for hiking

This place was extraordinarily clean and so cutely decorated. It was the perfect place to stay for our planned hiking in the John Day National Monument area - super close to the Painted Hills Unit. The owners were so very helpful with information about Mitchell the town and the area!! We were well prepared with bringing our own food for the majority of the trip. The Brewery had good food too! We loved sitting in the peaceful backyard in the evenings and appreciated the variety of movies to watch. Recommended location for John Day activities!

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.

great place to stay for John Day Fossil Beds

If your destination is the John Day National Monument, this is a great place to stay. It's just a short drive to the Painted Hills Unit. The Sheep Rock Unit is a longer but easy drive. The home was spotless. The kitchen was well-stocked and the appliances were all in working order. The neighborhood was very quiet. Mitchell is a very small town with minimal retail or restaurants. We brought our own groceries to meet dietary needs. The host is very easy to reach and very helpful. We could not have found a better place to stay,

Comfortable option for touring John Day National Monument

We stayed for two nights during April to tour the John Day National Monument. This house is a spacious, clean, quiet and comfortable choice for this area. We appreciated the well appointed and spacious open concept kitchen-dining-living areas. The bedroom were also large with queen beds. The owner kindly sent a great detailed tour guide to us before our stay and was kind enough to check in during our stay to make certain we were comfortable and didn't need anything. The Central OR area exceeded my expectations for natural beauty.
