Chill out and relax in this private, converted art studio in the foothills of Oregon’s Coast Range. Private deck overlooking organic garden, greenhouse, fruit orchard and surrounded with Douglas fir, Western red cedar, elderberry and Big-leaf maple trees. Night sky viewing. Quiet walks in the country. Outdoor shower with plenty of hot water, soap, body wash, shampoo and conditioner. Toilet has its own room with vintage, deep enamel sink just around the corner. Kitchenette with full fridge/freezer, two burner hot plate, toaster oven, microwave, French press, fresh ground coffee, creamer and sugar. Pot/pans, dishes/utensils. Lots of art supplies on the shelves to inspire your creativity. Travel/Hiking guidebooks. Watch morning deer in the orchard and a variety of birds at the feeder. I hope to make your stay relaxing and comfortable. I will do the dishes at the end of your stay and also have a washer/dryer available if needed. There are seven steps up to the studio door. The only shower is outside, located on the studio entry deck that’s fenced and curtained for privacy, faces the garden / grapevines and has plenty of hot water. Guests usually love this refreshing experience.
