In the heart of Yamhill County wine country, discover our peaceful secluded mountain hideaway. As you approach you will begin to feel the rhythm of country life. Step away from your busy world for a moment and let us take you on a guided tour of Hideaway Hill. Imagine that you are really here with us. A simple "click" on reservations can make that wish come true, . . . but for now, let's just begin with your approach up the mile-long country road that leads to the stunning view of the Chehalem Valley 1000 feet below.
Climbing Bear Road
From Rockyford Road, you will turn onto rustic Bear Road. Regardless of the name, you probably won't see any bears as they have moved further up into the Coast range, but you will want to watch out for the deer and other wild life. They are our neighbors and we would appreciate it if you drove slowly. Once on the road, you will climb almost 1000 feet in less than a mile. After a jog, a guest once commented, "It may be a mile down, but it's 10 miles back up!" As you wind up the road, the view will change. In the photo we are looking behind us.
Approaching the Property
When you reach the very top of the mountain, you will see the gates to Hideaway Hill. Proceed through the gates and up the drive. If you have reserved your visit in the spring, you may ascend through our blossoming Thundercloud plum trees. Our garden and orchard is on your right. You will know you have arrived when you come upon our koi pond. Listen for a welcoming chorus of frogs.
The Guest Entrance
The main entrance to your private quarters is in the left part of the house across from the fish pond. We will be there to welcome you. Our goal is to make sure your stay is extraordinary.
The Great Room
After you have unpacked, explore the options we have provided for her guests. If you are able to tear your eyes away from the breathtaking view, curl up in front of the fire with a good book, or enjoy a movie. We have a wonderful library, and an extensive selection of DVDs for your enjoyment. The perfect place to relax after a day spent exploring Yamhill County or hiking the trails that surround the property.
Our View
The Eastern exposure in our great room is a wall of windows which offers a truly magnificent panoramic view. Beyond the Chehalem Valley you can see five mountains in the Cascade Range, including Mount Hood, and our famous Mt. St. Helens. Today, the sky offered us a dual rainbow. The "pot of gold" is your stay at Hideaway Hill Bed and Breakfast.
Guest Bedrooms
Spend the night in one of our tastefuly appointed rooms. Each room offers a distinct hideaway destination utilizing unique decor to transform your environment. Depending upon the room that you have chosen, enjoy watching nature from your own private patio, or just relax by your fireplace and watch wildlife from the window. Experience the colors of sunrise and sunset, or watch the moon cross a star filled sky that, with no city lights, turns into a canopy of twinkling lights.
Our Surroundings
Cultivated gardens and beautiful natural forest surround Hideaway Hill. We grow the flowers for your room and the fruit for your breakfast. We pride ourselves on our quality and selection. Our seasonal breakfast offerings include raspberries, marionberries, cherries, grapes, apples, pears, and plums. Our flower gardens color and perfume the environment with roses, lilacs, lilies, Dutch iris, peonies, and lavender, to name but a few. If you venture into the forest, nature has planted her own garden there. Hideaway Hill is a feast for your senses!.
The Friendly Fish Pond
The pond at the front entry is a thoroughly relaxing experience. The waterfall creates a soothing effect, while the frogs are enigmatic. We have named them all "Waldo" because your ears will confirm their presence, but they certainly know how to blend into their surroundings! If they are in the mood, our fish will eat from your hand. Do remember these are country fish, so you might want to watch your fingers.
Forest Grotto
The trail to the North from the front entry leads to a hidden grotto in the forest. The large ferns and mossy trees make this a special place with a timeless mystical quality all its own.
The Forest
Other trails from the house lead to beautiful meadows surrounded by lush forest. If you are so inclined, we invite you to explore the grounds and enjoy the wildlife. Experience the natural tranquility of this enchanted forest.
