Rustic, relaxing retreat in Oregon's Dark Sky Sanctuary

Three minutes off HWY 395, nestled at the base of the Warner Mountains, our lovely little retreat invites you to relax in peace, comfort, and quiet. Once a country gas station, State Line Mill Guesthouse has been updated with modern electrical, plumbing and a kitchenette, while keeping its original high desert charm.
You'll be pleasantly surprised by the solitude and tranquility of our 4 acres at the northeastern edge of New Pine Creek, OR. This area is known for spectacular sunsets, starry skies, mountain wildlife, glorious nature photo ops, fresh air, and a whole lot of calm. Whether you are driving through or visiting, State Line Mill Guesthouse has everything you need for a slow, revitalizing, rural retreat.

We bet our boots you'll agree: our guesthouse is the best stay in Lakeview.

Kathey was a wonderful host. She met us at the front door as we arrived to welcome us and gave a tour of the cabin. The cabin was well appointed, tidy and was air-conditioned. And most important, our dog loved having a run of the large fenced yard. It was the perfect place to land after a long drive! It was private, quiet and very comfortable. We would definitely stay there again.

This was a great experience. The rental was very well kept and had plenty of amenities, as well as lots of nice little touches: games, decor, plenty of comfortable furniture, coffee and tea supplies. We had a great view of the meteor shower. The property is beautiful, and I can't forget to mention the lovely central air conditioning! Thank you, Kathy. :)

Exceptional host and location for dark skies and nearby hiking!Kathey is a 15/10 host - the cabin was comfy and cozy for two with so many homey touches that matter to us - ice cubes in the freezer, filtered water, tissue box, hot cocoa, fresh eggs, USB ports on each side of the bed, and more. Be sure to take advantage of Kathey's offer to tour the historic grist mill right behind the cabin - fascinating! We really enjoyed our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Kathey Delaney

Host profile image
Hello. I'm Kathey, your hostess. I am a retired healthcare worker with goals towards building a sustainable, permaculture-based homestead. I also work at the local library. My better half is Chris, a paramedic for Lake County EMS. We believe our guesthouse is the perfect place to disconnect from the world a little. An off-the-beaten-path getaway full of cozy comfort, quiet, star-filled nights, and a little old-fashioned fun.

Why they chose this property

The property is 4 acres of sagebrush land on the slopes of the Warner Mountain foothills, in the largest, International Dark Sky Sanctuary. We sit twenty minutes from Lakeview, OR, and twenty minutes from the southern end of the Oregon Timber Trail. Our guesthouse was once the gas station for Fairport, OR, and has been painstakingly updated with modern facilities while keeping it's quaint, vintage feel. Views from our land never cease to amaze, regardless of the season; day or night. We have multiple, old outbuildings that are perfect for painting, sketching or photographing. The most interesting of these is an historic grist mill built in1871 (non-operational). Come, sit, relax and enjoy the view.

What makes this property unique

Neighbor to Outback Rocks and Goose Lake State Park.
Part of Oregon's largest Dark Sky Sanctuary.
Exceptional opportunities for photography, sketching, painting.
