High end cabin experience

I frequently do road trips across the US with my two pups, and I used to stay at roadside motels, but this time I decided to use VRBO, and I was blown away at how awesome this place was. First off, the arrival was really easy given that there is a huge driveway and an extra wide covered parking stall that could support two Ford F150s. There is a big fenced off area so i put the dogs there first. Then the entire area was well lit, which made unloading easy. The door had a digital lock amd it was easy to get in. The cabin was nice and toasty, there were plenty of plates, cups, towels, etc. There were also nice little additions like a towel to use for cleaning the dogs. The interior was perfectly renovated, and it was obvious they spent a lot of money. There were plenty of new TVs, board games, wifi... pretty much everything you could want. And finally, everything was labled so things were easy to find. Would highly reccomend for people who are fed up with going to the big cities for holidays and staying at overpriced 5 star hotels. I, myself, am from Whistler, Canada, and I much prefer authentic cabin experiences like this one.

About the host

Hosted by Wesley Campbell

We met in college and now are neighbors in La Grande. Both of us are born and raised in Oregon and have found our way back to NE Oregon after living around the West.

What makes this property unique

The Owl's Nest is located at MERA trailhead with a great view of town, minimal neighbors and lots of privacy. You are close enough for a visit to the brewery after a bike/ski or a quick trip to Liberty Cafe for an amazing breakfast sandwich.
