Vacation and Business Get-A-Way/Lay-Over
A Fly-in or Drive-in retreat. Discounts with stays over 5 nights. One of 4 places we have. If this is taken, inquire anyway for possible cancellations or other openings. John Day Valley Rentals The John Day Valley Chalet, as we like to call it, is located right above the town of John Day, Oregon and just below the airport. It has a great view of the entire eastern valley and of Big Canyon Mountain to the south. It is a perfect vacation home for families or an ideal location as a corporate lodging facility for those coming for a few days on business in the valley. The Chalet is very private, sitting on 3 acres, out of sight of the few other homes in the area. It is completely furnished with a complete modern kitchen and all the amenities of a nice country retreat, though you won't be roughing it. It sleeps 6 in three spacious bedrooms with pillow top queen beds and a couple of single floor mattresses for the kids or extra vacationers. There are two full bathrooms, one with double sink and double shower and large walk-in closet. There is dish TV with HBO and player with numerous videos, CD player, internet and local telephone as well as laundry room. Outside we have a 15 x 22 ft. deck with Patio set and Bar and Bar-b-que. Steps go down to a large yard overlooking the valley complete with Gazebo, Fire pit, Horse shoe pit and just outdoor lounging. The driveway is large enough for large RV's to turn around in or park next to the home itself. There is also a nice 6 x 10 ft. wire kennel with dog house for outside use and a dog house in the garage for inside use on cold or hot days. No dogs in the house. Hardwood floors and wood and cloth furniture. Like I said, the home is totally furnished and equipped. Just bring your suitcase and your groceries. It is beautiful, quiet and clean and we leave the keys in our car in this country.

I stayed here with a group of two and also a group of seven, and it is great for both. The views from the spacious living room are spectacular, especially the morning sunrise in the East.
This house and location is much better than you would assume from the listing. What a great house! We really enjoyed it. And what a view! You can’t go wrong with this house.
Thanks for hosting us!
This was our second time renting this home. The house is great for large groups and the open floor plan is great for visiting, playing games, and shared meals. The property is beautiful and the views gorgeous. The owner is great he even came out to handle a wasp problem for us. Looking forward to next year!
It was absolutely beautiful. The view in the morning sitting outside drinking my coffee was priceless. The was so much to see around John Day. The people were very pleasant in town. We loved the neighbor hood deer. Jim is a very nice man to talk to and very helpful. The house was clean and stocked with almost everything you would need. I would love to stay there again.
House was perfect for our family. Plenty of dishes/utensils (awesome). The A/C was struggling when we arrived but we noticed the “change filter” warning and we were able to find the replacement filters and changed it out (note: whomever changed it out last forgot to remove the plastic!).
Beautiful home, well equipped, great directions. Would recommend to others wanting to spend time in a small friendly town with great food at local restaurants.
Our family had a wonderful stay at this VRBO. The location was perfect and the views were unforgettable — we enjoyed them every day. The place was comfortable and suited our needs perfectly. Highly recommend and we’d love to come back!
Amazing property. Beautifully decorated and wonderfully stocked with everything we needed. Host was helpful and prompt with communication. We truly had a wonderful stay.
This house is in a great location, close to restaurants, etc., but up & away from traffic. It was a great jump off point for our exploration. Comfortable beds, well appointed kitchen, beautiful view from the deck. Very relaxing space.
We felt so comfortable in this beautiful home! Every little thing has been considered and supplied .... from luggage racks (often missing) to USB chargers bedside. There is nothing rental or part-time about the furnishings, appliances, cookware or other amenities. A very, quiet and private location ... we saw one car (at a distance) and a whole family of deer all week. And the view!!! Amazing!
The view of John Day and the valley is beautiful. The yard and porches were well kept and we all had a great time playing horse shoes and hanging outside. The house is well stocked don’t over shop like I did! We would stay here again. Five stars!

Excellent Home and View. Thank you so much for sharing it with us!!!
Jim and Sandy were super nice and helpful. The home is truly georgeous and clean. Well maintained and stocked. The pictures do not do the this home due justice. It’s stunning. I really did not want to leave. Thank you both so much for a well needed place to vacation. Take care
This property is amazing - Jim has everything you could possibly need, it's very well kept up and attractive inside and out. Lots and lots of great places to go hiking nearby, and even just hanging out on the property was fun. Tons of space inside, nice deck with tables and chairs for lots of people. Really nice view of John Day and the mountains. I just loved my time there and didn't want to leave.
