This place worked for us fine. It’s definitely a bit on the funky side as an old home that seems to have been added onto...

The Rimrock Cottage

Located in a quiet neighborhood in the small community of Mitchell. Spacious and cozy, with many loving details. This remodeled country house can accommodate up to 4 people. It is a sanctuary, offering peace and tranquility surrounded by breathtaking landscapes. The perfect place to get away, be in nature and enjoy amazing sunsets. The surrounding area is spectacular with amazing views at every turn, a geological wonderland. The famous Painted Hills are only 15 minutes away by car, and the other 2 units of the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, the Sheep Rock, and the Clarno Rock Formations, are between 40 and 70 minutes away by car driving along fantastic scenic byway routes to get there. There is so much to explore and experience here. You can go hiking along the John Day River or in any of the 3 units of the National Monument, hunt for fossils, go swimming in the river, go fishing or boating, watch birds and other abundant wildlife, make some of the best landscape photographs, paint the beauty surrounding you, watch the starry sky in the peaceful nights and just enjoy Mother Nature at her best.

Central location for John Day sights; but pricey
This place worked for us fine. It’s definitely a bit on the funky side as an old home that seems to have been added onto a few times. Things were comfortable enough, but it just didn’t have that clean feeling. My biggest issue, however, was the price. When all was said and done, it was over $400 a night. I have never in my life spent that much for a hotel room, not even at the Hilton Waikoloa resort on the Big Island. I might have been ok w the price if the entire place had been nicer. But, for example, the sheets on the bed were old pilled jersey sheets, and I don’t even want to know why I ended up itching so badly those two nights. The thing is, not only are there almost no hotels or rentals in the area, there are also almost no restaurants (Mitchell does have 1 or 2). So I booked it NOT realizing there would be an additional $100 fee for 2 dogs for 2 nights. So there just isn’t much choice. I wouldn’t stay there again, but I also don’t really need to stay in the area again. I hate being negative and have never left a remotely negative review, but I was just gobsmacked by the price, and then was unable to cancel and get a refund. Oh well. It’s whimsical and convenient?
