About the host
Hosted by Bronwyn Gardner
My husband and I used to tent camp in the state forests surrounding Oregon and fell in love with the natural beauty and charming town. When we saw this house on the market, we jumped at the opportunity to be able to share with travelers this wonderful town and the historic charm of the home.
What makes this property unique
At over 150 years old, this charming home has a lot of stories to tell while providing modern comforts. We hope you fall in love with it like we did!
