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.

A Lovely Cottage

The cottage is so beautiful; the host has obviously put much care into its ambiance, so many thoughtful kitchen and other items (even dog bowls and treats!), lovely decorations and squeaky clean! She gave us a tour of the yet-to-be restored but grain meal next door…it was fascinating!

Lovely Little Place to Stay

My husband and I needed an affordable and cozy spot to stop midway from Portland to Reno and that is exactly what we got. The cottage had everything we could have needed for a quick night and the bed was extremely comfortable even though we usually prefer a king. We hope to have time to stay a couple of nights in the future when we need to unplug from the city! PS - we loved seeing the rainbow flag in the yard, made us feel comfortable!

WONDERFUL!!!

Super cute property, set up really well for guests, many lovely rustic touches, easiest check in/check out process ever, quiet, clean, beautiful views - especially the sunset over the lake. My only hesitation in giving a good review is that others might find this treasure and it will be all booked up the next time I'm in town!

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.
Star gazing.
Wildlife viewing.
Bird watching.
Access to the Oregon Timber Trail, Oregon Outback Scenic Bikeway, Modoc National Forest, Warner Canyon Ski Area, Hart Mountain & its hot springs
