Vacation rentals in John Day

Amanda and family have something special here. The entire property and ranch are meticulously cared for. It's clear they take pride in their property. Check in was easy, the accommodations were great and the host was very welcoming. I'd absolutely stay here again.

We were road weary and ready to do some relaxing. We drove up and our family was pleasantly surprised at our accommodations. Patti has a well stocked home and there is thoughtfulness and care it seems setting up their guests for a comfortable experience at her place. Farm fresh eggs? Snacks? Beverages?Above and beyond, beds were comfortable as were the couches, and we were bordering exhaustion from all the activities in the area, so it was nice to have a comfortable home base. Thank you again for everything.

Very comfortable place. Great spot for star gazing with very low ambient light in the area. Nice porches with plenty of furniture—both front and back porch. Very quiet at night. Great river views. Really enjoyed our 3 night stay while traveling to/from the various John Day Fossil Bed sites.

We were very pleased with the scenic location and tranquil nature of the cabin provided and Kerri and her partner. The property was very spacious and we were given free rein to explore. Our dogs absolutely loved the place and, after meeting Kerri's dogs and their chickens and horses, I'm sure they were very disappointed to have to leave. While we did not give ourselves enough time to fully explore their little part of the world, the mountains, canyons, and rivers we were able to visit were as amazing as can be expected in that beautiful part of Oregon. The cabin was cozy and warm and had more amenities than we expected for such a rustic and "off-grid" location.

We really enjoyed our stay and wished we had more time to spend at the cabin. It was very quiet and comfortable with a perfect temperature, even though it got down into the 30s overnight. The Malheur National Forest is only a short drive away, and we also were able to get up to the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest on our last full day. Would love to stay there again!

I booked Jody and Dan's place for a birthday weekend getaway. What a great find it was! The location is amazing, and waking up the view of the "wedding cake" was an experience. Not to mention the incredible views of the sky at night. The cabin feels very private and everything you could need for a stay is provided. The host made sure the soaking tub was hot when we arrived, which was a great touch. Nature surrounds the cabin, I enjoyed seeing a variety of birds, including a bunch of quail (so cute), and hearing frogs near the small pond. There were clear instructions to get to the location - which are important because cell service was non-existent for me. All in all staying at stellar cabin provided a much needed respite from the city and I wouldn't hesitate to make the journey back out there.

Tiny house was excellent for a stay to attend local event. Downstairs bedroom had double bed. Kitchen , bathroom and living space small but great . Upstairs bedroom was two comfortable twin mattresses but low headroom was difficult to dress (would be best for children).

This house was absolutely incredible. We were in town for my dad’s memorial service and it made the weekend so much easier. Watching the sunrises was our absolute favorite, so incredible. Thank you for offering such a beautiful place for our family to stay.

Happy Talk is an absolutely cozy, comfortable and cute. Felt at home from the moment we walked in. It was super clean throughout. We will absolutely stay here again when we come back to explore the area more rather than just pass through.
