About the host
Hosted by Jim and Sandy Bay
Jim discovered the John Day Valley in August of 1972.
He bought an old mining claim on Big Canyon Mountain that day and has been enjoying the valley ever since. He came up every year for 34 years always with the dream to retire here.
Jim and Sandy finally moved to the John Day Valley permanently in 2006 and wanted to provide quality vacation rentals for others to be able to enjoy vacation here also. They now have 3 vacation properties in the valley, each one very different from the other.

Why they chose this property
We loved this property for its privacy, access to town, beautiful views and all the up to date amenities of a modern efficient, yet country home.
What makes this property unique
Centrally located to entire valley and town yet totally private and quiet.
Great for reunions and group events and meetings with large deck with bar-b-q and bar and big living room and landscaped high desert yard and views forever.
