Step onto the grounds of Mount Tom House - an Oregon forest retreat - & the pines stretch out around you, offering open space + a chance to slow down. Trails wind through 120 acres of protected woods, koi glide lazily in ponds, and sunlight spills across the two-story library where stained glass catches the morning light. Whether you’re enjoying coffee in a nook, wandering the forest trails, or gathering friends & family for a celebration, Mount Tom is a space to relax, connect, & make memories.
The space
Mount Tom House was built over fifty years ago by a circle of friends who wanted more than houses — they built homes, families, and a community: Ahimsa (a Sanskrit word meaning non-harm and respect for all living beings). That spirit still lingers in the laughter around an evening fire on the patio, the hot tub under the stars, and quiet moments when all you hear is the wind through the trees.
Whether you’re planning a family retreat, graduation weekend, milestone celebration, or a forest escape just for yourselves, Mount Tom House is whimsical yet lived-in, warm yet surprising — a space that invites connection, reflection, and joy.

A NOTE ON STAYING AT MOUNT TOM HOUSE
From early morning coffee in the library to late-night conversations under the stars, Mount Tom House is about slowing down, gathering people you love, and enjoying a space that’s been built for connection, reflection, and joy. Our home is also our B&B, so you may notice doors or cabinets marked “staff only.” These are intentional and part of keeping the experience seamless for all guests.
Mount Tom House is *not* a house in our portfolio of home rentals. It’s a home, a history, a story that we care deeply about and are honored to care for. We hope that you will enjoy it with equal respect & care!
