About this property
Fern Hill Lodge - Luxury Log Retreat with Fishing Pond in Oregon Wine Country
Fern Hill Lodge is perfect for family & friend gatherings and retreats. Located in the country yet close to two towns, it offers a peaceful setting for connecting and making memories. Parking is limited to 12 or 13 cars so groups over 30 are not feasible. We are not set up for weddings or large parties. There is a minimum of 26 hours between reservations and all rooms are cleaned by a commercial company. The themed rooms, rustic decor, gourmet kitchen and theater room offer something for everyone. There are 3 levels with beds for up to 24 people. For relaxation, take a walk down to the dock at the one acre fishing pond and catch large mouth bass, blue gill and crappie (be sure to release them, too!). Or take a stroll through the seven acre forest on the other side of the fishing pond. The trees will refresh your spirit and energize your body. It's also relaxing to watch the goldfish swimming around in the smaller pond in front of the house. Or you might like to watch the sunrise on the 700 square foot covered slate deck along the southeast side of the house overlooking the fishing pond. Experience a surround sound movie in the theater room that will seat 18. Bring your favorite flicks or lots to choose from here. Bedrooms: the Master Suite has 2 queen beds, walk-in closet, access to the deck outside and 46 inch flat screen TV with satellite service that can swivel to be viewed from the jetted tub. We call the big walk-in slate shower 'the Cave.' You'll love the massaging effect the smooth river rock floor has on your feet. The room has a heated slate floor and double granite vanity with raised copper sinks and waterfall faucets. The Parlor bedroom is also on the main floor. It is the feminine counterpoint to the rest of the house with quilts, needlework & frillery. It has a king bed and uses the main floor guest bath with tub/shower combo, heated slate floor and raised copper sink with waterfall faucet.

Lots of board games, playing cards, coloring books, puzzles, dice, etc. in the cupboard in the office on the main level. Downstairs is the Fishing Room with a king bed and its own private bath with granite vanity and tub/shower combo. It has an outside door leading to the covered patio for early morning coffee or a soak in the hot tub. Also downstairs are the Hunting and Cowboy rooms. The Hunting Room has a king bed and also opens out onto the hot tub patio. The Cowboy Room has a queen bed and a set of log bunk beds. It does not open to the outside, perfect for children. These two rooms share a bath with granite vanity and tub/shower combo. The theater room seats 14 in genuine theater chairs and another 4 on two couches.

This was hands down the cleanest and well taken care of VRBO we have stayed at and we have stayed in many. Such a beautiful and well stocked home. Owners were great and easy to communicate with.
This is one the best properties for hosting a large group. Anytime we are in the Monmouth area we look forward to staying at the Fern Hill Lodge…lots of space, lots to do, lots of beauty, and lots of nature; we’ve made countless memories and look forward to making many more during future stays. Cannot recommend this property enough, it is amazing!!!
Amazing property—honestly even bigger and more impressive in person. The level of detail and care the owners put into designing and maintaining the home is immediately noticeable, and it creates such a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere.We hosted a 80th birthday here with family flying in from over the country, and it could not have been a better fit. There is an incredible amount of space—everyone had their own areas to relax, while the central gathering space felt warm, inviting, and easily accommodated our group. The large kitchen, double refrigerators, and ample prep space made hosting seamless.The theater downstairs exceeded expectations, and the pond was such a special feature—we spent hours fishing and just enjoying the setting.The location is great, and the home was exceptionally clean. As a VRBO owner myself, I pay close attention to details like bed quality and bathroom cleanliness, and this home truly stands out. It’s clear the property is very well cared for.Highly recommend.
PEACE, PLEASANT and POSITIVE...hosted a women's retreat here, and we had everything we needed and so much more. May the Lord continue to bless the host.
Fern Hill Lodge was the perfect venue for our multi-generational family reunion. The beautiful lodge and expansive private property accommodated our large group well. We enjoyed a fully equipped, large kitchen and open dining and living room. Highly recommend this rental!
One of the most beautiful houses I’ve stayed at! There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out, and we made sure to utilize the movie room every night. The kitchen was amazing for a large group
This was a wonderful secluded place for our family to stay. The lodge was beautiful and spacious. The view and deck were fantastic. It was a great place to stay and we hope to be able to come back.Thank you!!!
Everything was wonderful. This is our third family reunion at the lodge. Everone loves it. It's so comfortable, spacious and accommodating. Plenty of activities for all ages.
We enjoyed every aspect of our stay. This home is set up to handle larger groups and has activities to keep everyone busy! Polly was an amazing host and made the process simple.
The home is a great place for a group to bond and still have private spaces. The team was able to cook together and hang out in the large great room comfortably as a team!
