We had a great stay! Our family was in for graduation at Linfield University. This house was a perfect home base for the weekend. We especially loved choosing our handmade mug for coffee in the morning, sitting on the deck chatting with abundant views, and gathering in the kitchen. Kirsten was a great host- she is responsive, organized, and so very kind. You will appreciate that this house is set up with 4 bedrooms with comfortable beds and linens, a kitchen stocked with more than the basics, and a million dollar setting that is beautiful.

We had a wonderful time celebrating my husband’s birthday with friends at this beautiful rental!

About the host

Hosted by Kirsten Johnson

Host profile image
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!
