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. ## Property amenities ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the accommodation: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car required - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - TV with cable/satellite channels - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Hardwood flooring in public areas - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the city centre - In the mountains - Near a hospital ### Things to do - Bicycles - Golf - Kayak - Snow sports gear - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Kayaking nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Sledding nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Swimming nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Bicycles - Garden - Unit size: 1,700 square feet ## Similar properties ![Lobby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/30000/24800/24783/40468ae3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Best Western John Day Inn John Day - Pool - Hot tub - Breakfast included - Pet-friendly 8.4 Very good 512 reviews £128 includes taxes & fees 12 Apr - 13 Apr [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-12&endDate=2026-04-13&selected=24783&PinnedHotelID=24783&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property entrance](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/39000000/38300000/38290800/38290791/26c21e78.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Dreamers Lodge John Day - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi - Restaurant - Air-conditioning 8.4 Very good 397 reviews £76 includes taxes & fees 12 Apr - 13 Apr [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-12&endDate=2026-04-13&selected=38290791&PinnedHotelID=38290791&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![House (3 Bedrooms) | Front of property](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/95000000/94390000/94380900/94380854/6dd4a7bb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### John Day Lakehouse w/ a Great Outdoor Space!
