The FarmYard. Private 39-Acre Farmhouse with Views, Wildlife & Space to Unwind
THE FARMYARD IS A PRIVATE 39-ACRE EASTERN OREGON RETREAT.
If you’re looking for a place that feels peaceful, private, and genuinely clean, welcome to The FarmYard.
Cleanliness is our top priority—and guests consistently comment on it. From the moment you walk in, you can expect a spotless, comfortable space designed for rest, connection, and an easy stay.
Set on 39 private acres, this farmhouse offers the rare combination of true country privacy with the convenience of town just minutes away. You’re only 1.5 miles from La Grande and 5 minutes from Eastern Oregon University, yet it feels like a world away.
This is Eastern Oregon at its best: wide-open space, fresh air, quiet evenings, and unforgettable views.
THE HOME
The FarmYard is spacious, warm, and thoughtfully set up for groups who want room to relax without feeling crowded. It comfortably sleeps up to 10 guests, making it ideal for families, friend groups, work crews, outdoor enthusiasts, or guests visiting the area for sports, school, or events.
Sleeping arrangements include:
3 King beds
1 Queen bed
Large bunk beds
Both bathrooms are bright, clean, and well-maintained.
The home is designed to feel comfortable, practical, and welcoming—not overly styled or fussy. It’s a place where you can kick off your shoes, cook a meal together, and settle in.
OUTDOOR SPACE AND PRIVACY
Step outside onto the private deck facing the foothills of Mt. Emily, one of guests’ favorite features of the property. With no close neighbors, you’ll have the freedom to truly unwind—morning coffee, evening drinks, or simply soaking in the quiet.
Wildlife sightings are common here. Guests regularly see elk, deer, and other local animals moving through the surrounding land, especially in the mornings and evenings.
Another guest favorite: the large treehouse, which adds a fun and memorable element for both kids and adults. Please use responsibly at your own risk.
Whether you’re visiting for adventure or rest, the outdoor space offers room to spread out, breathe deep, and enjoy the stillness that’s hard to find elsewhere.
LOCATION: QUIET COUNTRY, CLOSE TO EVERYTHING
One of the most unique aspects of The FarmYard is how close it is to everything—without feeling close to anything.
You’re minutes from:
• Mt. Emily Recreation Area (adjacent to the property - Google 'MERA in La Grande' to find out what an incredible opportunity this is.)
• Fairgrounds – 3 minutes
• Riverside Greens Mini Golf – 2 minutes (seasonal)
• Veterans Memorial Pool – 5 minutes
• Local restaurants & breweries – just minutes away
• Walmart – 9 minutes
• Safeway – 11 minutes
• Morgan Lake – 15 minutes
• Anthony Lakes Ski Resort - for winter guests or outdoor enthusiasts, makes for an easy and scenic day trip.
IDEAL FOR
The FarmYard is especially well-suited for:
• Families looking for space, privacy, and comfort
• Groups visiting for school events, sports, or tournaments
• Work crews wanting a clean, quiet place to rest with ample parking
• Outdoor enthusiasts seeking year-round adventure--hiking, mountain biking, whitewater rafting, jet boating, fishing in ocean-run rivers, horseback riding, and snowmobiling
• Guests who appreciate nature, views, and wide-open land
• Anyone who wants to stay close to town without staying in town
WHAT GUESTS LOVE MOST
• Spotless cleanliness
• Comfortable beds and room to spread out
• Total privacy with no nearby neighbors
• Beautiful views of Mt. Emily
• Frequent wildlife sightings
• Free range chickens with farm fresh eggs
• Close proximity to La Grande while feeling secluded
THE EXPERIENCE
Evenings at The FarmYard are quiet and special. The skies are dark, the stars are bright, and the pace slows down. Mornings often bring wildlife sightings, crisp air, and peaceful views that make you want to linger a little longer with your coffee.
It’s not flashy. It’s not crowded. It’s calm, clean, and genuinely relaxing—the kind of place guests return to because it simply feels good to be there.
WORK CREWS & EXTENDED STAYS
We regularly host work crews and extended-stay guests and are happy to accommodate them. The home offers a clean, quite place to rest, comfortable sleeping arrangements, room for gear, and convenient parking for large trucks, trailers, and even RVs.
Whether you’re visiting for family gatherings, friendly reunions, work, adventure, or a quiet reset, The FarmYard offers a clean, comfortable place to settle in and feel at ease. With space to unwind, privacy to truly relax, and everything La Grande has to offer just minutes away, it’s the kind of stay guests return to again and again.
We look forward to hosting you!

About the host
Hosted by David & Kimberly
We’re a husband-and-wife team who live locally in La Grande and take pride in hosting a place we truly care about. Together, we own Mountain Valley Properties, a local property services company, which gives us a unique, hands-on approach to hosting.
I’m a licensed real estate broker, and I manage the guest experience—focusing on communication, cleanliness, and making sure every stay is smooth from booking through checkout. My husband is a licensed contractor, which means the property is well maintained, thoughtfully set up, and continually improved with long-term comfort and function in mind.
We believe a great stay comes down to the basics done exceptionally well: a clean home, clear communication, and a space that feels easy to settle into. The FarmYard was created to offer a peaceful, private place where guests can relax and enjoy Eastern Oregon—whether they’re here for work, outdoor adventure, or time with family and friends.
We live nearby and are available if needed, while always respecting our guests’ privacy. Our goal is simple: to provide a clean, comfortable, and reliable place to stay—one guests feel confident returning to again and again.

Why they chose this property
We chose this location because it offers the best of both worlds: peaceful country privacy with easy access to town.
Set on 39 acres at the edge of La Grande and adjacent to the Mt. Emily Recreation Area, the property provides wide-open space, quiet surroundings, and beautiful views—while still being just minutes from schools, shopping, dining, and Eastern Oregon University. We also keep our happy, free-ranging chickens on the property, along with our cows, which adds to the authentic farm setting guests enjoy. It’s a rare place where you can experience country life, wildlife, and outdoor recreation without giving up convenience.

What makes this property unique
The FarmYard offers something that’s increasingly hard to find: true privacy on 39 acres, paired with a spotless, well-maintained home just minutes from town. Guests enjoy wide-open space, uninterrupted views of the Mt. Emily foothills, frequent wildlife sightings, and a peaceful setting that still provides quick access to La Grande.
What also sets the property apart is how it’s cared for. As a locally owned property managed by a real estate professional and a licensed contractor, the home is thoughtfully maintained and continually improved for comfort, function, and long-term quality. Guests especially enjoy the authentic farm setting, where free-ranging chickens, farm-fresh eggs, and our cows create a memorable and genuinely rural experience.
