Simply Relaxing

Great home with an amazing view. Property is well maintained with minor showing of age/use. Fully stocked kitchen, with a plus of some basic staples/condiments/coffees in the cupboard. We cooked most meals at the house and had lots of room for everyone. Hot tub was great, the fireplace and generous allocation of firewood was a pleasant surprise. Hosts were friendly, response, and helpful. Location was just a little off the beaten path, but upon exploring it is just a twenty minute ride from lots of amenities.

Great Location

Overall great property. Plenty of space to spread out and very well stocked. Hot tub was very clean and plenty of pool towels available. Great welcome book with all the details for the house and suggested restaurant locations. Just some minor suggestions would make it just that much better. Provide umbrellas and maybe some playing cards, the bath towels were musty, and the front steps when wet were very slick. Would recommend this property and would stay again.

Gorgeous property and home in wine country

Wow, what a gem! This house is absolutely beautiful with modern amenities, cozy beds, hot tub and more. It felt like a true vacation home and oasis. The only downside was the tv and internet connection was spotty so i wouldn’t pick it if you’re looking for a spot to watch a big game or work from home (though you could go to McMinnville and work from a coffee shop), but otherwise 10/10. We’d love to come back!

Hidden Gem

Beautiful home with plenty of space to spend quality family time. We enjoyed: 1) Fantastic views of the valley from the living room and back porch. 2) Open kitchen concept with large island for gathering adjacent to dining room allowing everyone to participate during food prep. 3) Two bedrooms upstairs and two bedrooms downstairs makes for good separation between families or adults/children. 4) Massage chair. A luxury after a long day. 5) Spa unit of bottom level slider. Another comfort for relaxation. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property.

Beautiful Peaceful Home

Our stay was amazing! The house was very clean, beautiful and had an amazing view. We saw a deer in the driveway one evening and our son got great pictures of it. Greg & Kirsten were very helpful and got back to us quickly if we had a question. The location was perfect for touring the nearby wineries. We will definitely stay here again and highly recommend their peaceful home. Sig & Sandy

About the host

Hosted by Kirsten Johnson

Greg and Kirsten met in a design class at George Fox University many years ago. Some time later they reunited in a ceramics class where Greg realized he would love to marry this beautiful artistic girl. Thankfully, after graduating, Greg’s dream came true and he married Kirsten. Kirsten taught preschool while Greg pursued a masters to later teach high school ceramics. In 2012 they started looking for a house that they could afford on a teacher's salary. Most of their offers were too low and they kept getting outbid on deals. So they started looking into building a home, how hard could that be? Naively they bought 11 undeveloped acres armed with a weed whacker, Youtube, and a willingness to do whatever necessary. The "12 months of building" actually took 36...but they never gave up. Thousands of hours later they completed their home, and now feel honored to have the opportunity to invite you in and experience the finished product - a collaborative masterpiece that they hope offers a peaceful and very memorable experience with people you love...all in the heart of wine country.

Why they chose this property

This house was designed and built by two artist owners, Greg and Kirsten, who share a semi-minimalist aesthetic with an emphasis on geometric lines. The goal was to contrast the surroundings in form but compliment it in color. “This property has been one giant art project for us that we hope you will love. We want this property to be a place that heals you. Life is very difficult, stressful, and humans can be hard to deal with. We hope you can feel the peace we have prayed over this land and home. We hope you leave feeling closer to who you are, more centered, and more alive." - Greg and Kirsten Johnson

What makes this property unique

Most of our visitors comment on the peace and serenity they feel when visiting. Our house sits overlooking a secluded 11 acre ravine currently undergoing reforestation with over 3k trees (douglas fir, ponderosa pine, and western red cedar). On clear days you’ll see the Evergreen Aviation museum and the north areas of McMinnville. We’re visited by deer, owls, hawks, bunnies, qual, and many other animals that make the forest their home. There are over 40 wineries within a 10 mile radius of this property. The view and location of the property is a perfect blend of privacy and view. You'll be at the end of a private, gated dead-end road off of a dead end county road. It is a wonderful place to relax and not have any unwanted visitors!
