Neighbourhood

We live in a rural area, with houses on two to three acre lots, so houses are not close to each other. There are mostly couples whose children have grown up and moved away, so it's pretty quiet. Our neighbors are very nice people. Two of our neighbors have horses. We have parkland and a hill right behind our house, so we have miles of hiking and mountain biking trails right here. Out our front window is a view of the coast range and Marys Peak (4000 feet), which is a half hour away and also has beautiful trails to the top. We are one hour away from the ocean, and one to two hours from lakes, rivers, and mountains (with skiing). Here are some fun videos and a great travel resource- https://traveloregon.com/things-to-do/trip-ideas/7-wonders/ https://youtu.be/doVV1a7XgyQ

Feedback

  • Ann & Joel kindly offered us their comfortable home for 2 nights while they were away. Filled inside and out with interesting art and sculptures, in a lovely quiet location, it made an ideal place to stay to hike up Mary's Peak for amazing views and alpine flowers. We were invited to pick berries from their garden which was such a treat. Thank you for the drinks too; very generous plus the guide books and local information you offered us.

Ann & Joel  

We are Ann and Joel. We are both retired. I was a middle school art teacher, and we owned a restaurant and bakery that Ann ran for thirty years. These were very satisfying jobs for both of us. We enjoy food and cooking, especially foods from other cultures. We like to travel, and have taken many trips with our five children, and now that they are all grown and out of the house, we can travel on our own. Ann's grandparents were from Spain and Italy, and we have enjoyed visiting cousins who live in those countries. We have a large garden that we enjoy. I expect to do more of my own art now that I'm not teaching. We like to travel and stay in one place to get to know the area well. We are experienced home exchangers and have been exchanging since 2012. We have done long term exchanges to Costa Rica (10 months) and Hawaii (4 months) and loved it! We volunteer in the local communities we travel to, teaching art and cooking. We like to hike, and be outdoors. We also love to experience the art and culture of new places. We live in a beautiful state with many great places to explore and enjoy sharing it with visitors. We love to informally host visitors for short stays if you are passing through our area. Please feel free to contact us about travel in Oregon, the Pacific Northwest, or the USA in general. Here is a link to a fun video that our Costa Rican home exchange family made of Joel's outdoor art. https://youtu.be/KJpyPS0b9WA
