About this property

The Hollyhock Guest House - A peaceful sanctuary !

The charming Hollyhock Guest House, a cozy European cottage, is surrounded by a beautiful garden offering peace and serenity in all seasons. The cottage is located in a quite neighborhood of the quaint town of Mitchell.
This sweet little house has a cozy bedroom that looks right out into the lush trees and flowers. It accommodates two people.
It features a comfy double size IKEA bed with a high quality mattress and fluffy down comforters. The kitchen has all the tools and equipment needed to whip up a memorable meal. The living room features a Flat Screen smartTV with a DVD player along with a selection of award winning and international movies, and our wifi is starlink. The adorable blue porch is the perfect breakfast nook from where you can enjoy the song of the many birds calling this place their home. Or dine outside in the BBQ area amongst the blooming bushes and fragrant roses. Wifi is available throughout the house and in the garden. Dogs are welcome and safe in the fenced in property.
The location of the Hollyhock Guest House is exceptional in its remoteness and breathtaking surrounding, a paradise for artists, nature lovers, and other sensitive people. From here you can set out each day for a new adventure to return to this peaceful oasis, the ideal place to spend quality time with yourself or with loved ones.
The cozy cottage is the perfect base to explore the Painted Hills -one of the 7 Wonders of Oregon just 9 miles away, and all the other units of the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, Smith Rock, Ochocco National forest, Fossil Beds and more.. The Painted Hills are located 9 miles from Mitchell. Sheep Rock is about 38 miles and houses the monument's visitor center as well as the Thomas Condon Paleontology museum with its large collection of ancient fossils. The Clarno unit is close to Fossil, about an hour drive from Mitchell. Another one of the 7 Wonders of Oregon- the awesome Smith Rock is about 1.5 hours away. All routes are on "the Journey through Time" Scenic Byway and the drives pass through spectacular diverse landscapes with magnificent views around every bend of the road. There is an abundance of outdoor recreation like hiking, fishing, bird and wildlife watching, swimming or rafting the John Day River and hunting for fossils. It's possible to dig your own fossils in the Wheeler High School Fossil Beds for a small fee.

Host profile image
My mother Barb and I started this business in 2008 and have enjoyed it ever since. We're originally from Germany and lived for a long time in Seattle were my family ran a European restaurant in the famous Pike Place Market for 10 years. After we sold the restaurant in 2000, I went on to study herbal medicine at Bastyr University in Seattle. Here in Eastern Oregon I enjoy gardening and growing herbs, hiking,landscape photography and taking care of our guests. My business partner and mother is an amazing creative force and the master gardener. She's almost everyday in the garden of one of the cottages tending to her flowers and loves to meet our guests for a chat.

Why they chose this property

My parents travelled quite a bit in the States and fell in love with Eastern Oregon. Both are artists and appreciated the amazing landscapes in this area with the breathtaking views around each corner. The Painted Hills especially caught their eye and so they decided to buy the properties in MItchell just 9 miles away from the national monument. A few years later, we bought the property out on Burnt Ranch Rd. about 7 miles beyond the Painted Hills. Because we couldn't part with the cottage and the little guesthouse, we decided to create the Painted Hills Vacation Rentals so we could share the beauty of this area with many more travelers to this area. We have never regretted it and have made many new friends with our guests, many of them coming since years now. We now

What makes this property unique
