About this property

Fern Hill Lodge - Luxury Log Retreat with Fishing Pond in Oregon Wine Country

Fern Hill Lodge is perfect for family & friend gatherings and retreats. Located in the country yet close to two towns, it offers a peaceful setting for connecting and making memories. Parking is limited to 12 or 13 cars so groups over 30 are not feasible. We are not set up for weddings or large parties. There is a minimum of 26 hours between reservations and all rooms are cleaned by a commercial company.
The themed rooms, rustic decor, gourmet kitchen and theater room offer something for everyone. There are 3 levels with beds for up to 24 people. For relaxation, take a walk down to the dock at the one acre fishing pond and catch large mouth bass, blue gill and crappie (be sure to release them, too!). Or take a stroll through the seven acre forest on the other side of the fishing pond. The trees will refresh your spirit and energize your body. It's also relaxing to watch the goldfish swimming around in the smaller pond in front of the house.
Or you might like to watch the sunrise on the 700 square foot covered slate deck along the southeast side of the house overlooking the fishing pond. Experience a surround sound movie in the theater room that will seat 18. Bring your favorite flicks or lots to choose from here.
Bedrooms: the Master Suite has 2 queen beds, walk-in closet, access to the deck outside and 46 inch flat screen TV with satellite service that can swivel to be viewed from the jetted tub. We call the big walk-in slate shower 'the Cave.' You'll love the massaging effect the smooth river rock floor has on your feet. The room has a heated slate floor and double granite vanity with raised copper sinks and waterfall faucets.
The Parlor bedroom is also on the main floor. It is the feminine counterpoint to the rest of the house with quilts, needlework & frillery. It has a king bed and uses the main floor guest bath with tub/shower combo, heated slate floor and raised copper sink with waterfall faucet.
The Loft sports a full size Murphy bed, reading nook with sofa, games, and foosball.
Through the Loft is the Nest, a large room with 4XL twin beds usable as 4 twins or 2 kings. It also has a couch and flat screen TV with satellite and Wii game console. There are some Wii games available but feel free to bring your own. Lots of board games, playing cards, coloring books, puzzles, dice, etc. in the cupboard in the office on the main level.
Downstairs is the Fishing Room with a king bed and its own private bath with granite vanity and tub/shower combo. It has an outside door leading to the covered patio for early morning coffee or a soak in the hot tub.
Also downstairs are the Hunting and Cowboy rooms. The Hunting Room has a king bed and also opens out onto the hot tub patio. The Cowboy Room has a queen bed and a set of log bunk beds. It does not open to the outside, perfect for children. These two rooms share a bath with granite vanity and tub/shower combo.
The theater room seats 14 in genuine theater chairs and another 4 on two couches. With its 10 foot screen, Blu-ray/DVD player, VHS player, satellite TV, HDMI hook-up for computers and 7.1 surround sound, it's the perfect setup for movie watching or presentations. Complete with popcorn machine & wet bar area with refrigerator and microwave. Sleeps 2 young adults or 4 children on two comfy foldout full-size couches.
The gourmet kitchen includes a six-burner Capital gas range with oven, an electric wall oven, warming drawer, dishwasher, TWO refrigerators, Advantium microwave oven, Keurig coffee maker (bring your K-cups) plus 2 regular coffee makers, cherry cabinets, granite counters, two copper farmhouse sinks, handmade copper hood, pantry, dishes and glassware for 30, two electric griddles, two waffle irons, a rice cooker and a full array of cooking utensils and small appliances.
You'll never want to leave the Great Room with its 25' ceiling, huge log trestle, rustic decor, comfortable leather couches with built-in recliners, and 60 inch flat screen Smart TV with satellite service and Blu-ray player. The room has three levels of lighting: ambient ceiling lights for TV viewing, fan lights for socializing, and reading lamps for, well, reading. It also has a massive real river rock gas fireplace for chilly evenings.
The garage is equipped for exercising with treadmill, elliptical, recumbent bike and weight machine. A ping pong table makes for fun tournaments! Frisbees, hula hoops, bocci ball, small corn hole set, croquet and horseshoe equipment also available.
Cooking classes available from Matt Kuerbis. 720-548-7561 hello@heatyoucanhandle.com or www.heatyoucanhandle.com
Fern Hill Lodge is bound to become your favorite destination for family gatherings and church or company retreats. You will surely enjoy Oregon's country atmosphere!

We gathered for a three-generation family weekend and loved our stay at The Lodge. The setting is peaceful and gorgeous, and the house is spacious, with many different areas indoors and outdoors to relax alone or gather for conversation. The place lives up to the photos!Polly has thought of everything to make guests feel welcome and comfortable. Great directions for accessing the property. The place is exceptionally equipped with everything you need, and things are helpfully labeled. Super attention to detail. Communication with Polly was easy and quick. We had just one hiccup with the WiFi, messaged Polly, and she immediately fixed it remotely.This was our first stay at The Lodge, and, because it out-performed by far other large properties we've rented for this gathering, we're already booked again for next summer!

A gift from God!! Perfect gathering place to celebrate Grammy and Pop Pop's 60th Anniversary.

This property afforded a place to gather family that doesn't see each other as often as we'd like - Oregon and California. We were blessed by the theatre to share a slide show of our times togther through the years. The house is perfect for games, one on one fellowship with those we haven't seen. A perfect place to share our lives as we pray and enjoy the beauty of His creation.

Amazing lodge in wine country

We had a group of 9 adults and 6 kids and had plenty of room for everyone. The lodge is gorgeous with vaulted ceilings and log beams plus a river rock fireplace. We loved the wrap around deck and views of the valley. The kitchen is well equipped. We are already talking about our next visit, this place is awesome!

Fern Hill Lodge Luxury

Polly has everything so well organized & marked - very efficient! The lodge is beautiful with so many amenities, I don't know who wouldn't love it. We had it for a week for a family reunion & it was perfect. Location is also good for going to sights (coast, wineries, Oregon Gardens, Silver Falls, Portland, & more).

Great property with plenty of room for all!

We reserved Fernhill Lodge for my sister’s 60 bday party. We shared the weekend with a total of 18 women! After touring wineries/ shopping each day it was wonderful to come back to the lodge and relax, have girl time and dinner. Our Wine Country Weekend was thoroughly enjoyed by all!

Good vibes

This house and property were great for our large group. Big yard to play in, space to walk around and pick blackberries, and we saw deer! The kitchen was well stocked for cooking and the space fit our, and children’s, needs. Owner was very responsive on a few questions we had. Would definitely recommend!

Breathtaking

The property is gorgeous inside and out! The kitchen items are well appointed. We had 4 families staying and ages 4-65+ and everyone loved it. There is plenty of room to spread out but the dining room table and living room had enough seating for when we wanted to all come together.

Women’s Encounter

We are a group of Christian women who get away to Encounter the presence of God and study the Word of God (Holy Bible). We introduce Christ to the women, offer baptism, teach and mentor them.

Peaceful Atmosphere and Enjoyable Getaway

Polly was just so wonderful to work with from beginning to end! The home and surrounding area is really beautiful. The large dining room table was absolutely perfect for each meal and all the retreat sessions. The living room layout was so inviting, no one wanted to go to their room until VERY LATE at night. We had a wonderful time bonding and appreciating one another and learning more about our wonderful Lord. Thank you Polly! The ladies want to stay here next year too!

Perfect location for family reunion!

We needed a place to celebrate my mom’s 80th birthday for 16 of us. Her wish was to go white water rafting in Oregon. This place was perfect for every aspect of the reunion. The rooms were perfect! The kitchen and living room was large enough to include all of us comfortably. Polly was great at accommodating a slight issue with a delivery. My mom was so happy and this place helped to make this birthday/reunion absolutely perfect. Thank you!! Many memories were made. The property is beautiful and the location is easy to find. Polly thought of everything in the house; nothing was missing. I highly recommend this property and hope to be back soon!

An absolutely wonderful home for our family get away!

The property is spectacular and meticulously landscaped. The pond in all its glory is a sight. It's the perfect spot for morning coffee, meditation, and sharing stories with an imaginative four year old! Fishing for blue gills and bass was a highlight for a couple of two year olds, and that imaginative 4 year old and her Dad. The house is well supplied with everything you might need. Movies were fun and the popcorn machine a hit. There was space for everyone and everything, even the little green frog hiding in the main floor shower! Of course we helped him back to his outside home. We thoroughly enjoyed Fern Hill Lodge and especially loved reading about her history. Thank you Polly for sharing your home. We hope to return some day!

Fern Hill Lodge..LOVED this property (and Polly!)

My group of 9 lifelong friends were celebrating Milestone birthdays, and a recent retirement, and chose Fern Hill Lodge as our home base for a trip to the Oregon Wine country! So grateful for the chance to stay in this beautiful, comfortable, luxurious, roomy manor. Plenty of room for our group of 9 people to spread out, relax, and just enjoy being together. The house came with everything we needed, including such a well appointed kitchen that the personal chef we hired was totally impressed! Highlights included the hot tub, the decks on the property, the expansive grounds and the walks to the pond, and last but not least, the movie room. We were able to watch Bugs Bunny cartoons during breakfast down there and also a special video presentation one of our friends put together for the week. When the chef wasn't there, we took turns cooking meals for each other. The huge dining room table accommodated all of us and we were able to celebrate wonderfully! Thanks Polly for a lovely home base in Oregon that we all enjoyed. Wish we had booked 2 weeks!

About the host

Hosted by Polly McCrea Foster

Host profile image
Polly McCrea Foster operates Fern Hill Lodge with much help from her husband Don and family members. We love sharing our little piece of Heaven with others who enjoy and respect the country vibe.

Why they chose this property

In 1994 Polly & Jerry, Polly's late husband, started searching for property away from the hustle & bustle of the big city of Portland. Their search kept widening until they came upon 160 acres nestled in the hills between Dallas & Monmouth. It was exactly what they had been searching for. Through the years they have sold many 5 acre home sites and created the friendly community of Fern Hill. You might meet some of them walking down the road or out for a stroll down to the fishing pond which is shared with all the neighbors. Polly & Jerry, their friends and family, personally planted most of the 22,000 trees on the property. In addition to these 'younger' trees are numerous majestic 300+ year old oaks.

What makes this property unique

Mini resort on 25 acres, large fishing pond with dock, kayak, canoe and rowboat, serene goldfish pond, forest, 6 bedrooms plus loft, 4 baths, 18 seat theater room with 10' screen and 3 other smart TV's all with satellite, board games, puzzles, foosball, Wii, ping pong, corn hole, frisbees, weight machine, treadmill, elliptical, outdoor deck & patios, BBQ, library, DVD's.
