Found a few spider webs and some places weren’t cleaned properly. We found lipstick on a few glasses but we didn’t mind washing it off ourselves. They equipped us with everything we needed and we forgot a few things but they had us covered! Super spacious super fun and we had such a blast! Definitely coming back! The home owner was also the sweetest person and checking on us multiple times!

Great place for large family with lots of kids
Cheerful house, full of character, very clean. It was well stocked with nice toiletries, a multitude of fluffy towels, and all the cooking supplies one could possibly want to cook for a large family. Ideal location to explore local parks. Tons to do.

We had lots of comings and goings during our week-long stay, but at some points we had 6 people and 3 dogs who were all able to be happy and comfortable in this sweet cabin. The kitchen is fully stocked and the beds all good quality. Barbara was very helpful in suggesting good hikes in the area. We had a wonderful time and will definitely return!

Winter is a great time to visit Mitchell and the Painted Hills. We had a great time. Mitchell has good food and beer, and the Painted Hills are awesome and we largely had them to ourselves. The cottage was comfortable and ideal for our visit.

We had a wonderful long weekend at the sunset cabin. The house was spacious and comfortable with lots of different areas both inside and out to hang out in. Even though it was in the upper 90s outside, the house stayed cool throughout the day even without running the A/C (though the presence of A/C was appreciated). We loved all the little artistic touches all around the property and enjoyed chatting with Barbara. She gave us excellent suggestions for things to see, places to swim and places to eat. We would love to come stay here again sometime in the near future.

The perfect getaway if your looking to relax and enjoy the beauty the Painted Hills and Jon Day Fossil beds. Barbara the owner was such a joy to meet. We got the pleasure of meeting her the second day we were there and the last day, although she is there everyday working the grounds but still provides a lot of privacy for her guests. She is an amazing woman who has done so much with her life and if your lucky you will get the chance to meet her. I suffer for from anxiety and get extremely homesick, but this place felt like home and I really didn’t want to leave! I miss it already! Everything was perfect from the layout of the house, cleanliness, and beautiful panoramic views. The town of Mitchell is a small western town and everyone one there is extremely personable. We will definitely be back!

Loved it
This property was fantastic. It was the perfect get away for our family Thanksgiving! The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook a Thanksgiving dinner.The kids loved the bunks and the little details did not go unnoticed- a stuffed animal and book on each bed. They were thrilled! Thank you! Eastern Oregon is beautiful and this place was perfect.

Perfect spot for a getaway
My friends and I visited for a weekend and everyone enjoyed the cottage so much. We set up our game night downstairs and went out to Blue Basin for a quick hike. We cooked all our meals at the cottage as well. The kitchen was stalked with utensils plenty of plates and bowls, spices, microwave, toaster, teas and coffee. We were also pleasantly surprised about have extra blankets. It got chilly downstairs and everyone was able to have a cozy blanket while we were down there. Bathrooms were clean, shampoo, conditioner and soap were in all the bathrooms. Overall, very impressed with our stay and are looking forward to going back. Thank you!

Colorful Painted Hills Retreat
The property can sleep a large amount of people. We had just our family of four. Plenty of room. The location is very peaceful and the flowers everywhere very beautiful.
Twice we had deer just walk by the front window. We said hello and they stopped to have a look at us.
A great location for exploring the Painted Hills and all the other units of the John Day Fossil Beds.
Mitchell is a very small growing ghost town and the people are so friendly.
We had just a wonderful time.

Wonderful, peaceful
This bright house, cheerful house was remodeled recently: It is comfortable and pleasant: lots of outdoor space to sit and chat with guests (we were in a large group); you can enjoy the view down into the small town of Mitchell from the crows nest overlook. The rooms are pretty, the beds are comfortable. The house is clean and the furnishings are simple yet cheerful. Very enjoyable. The land ladies (a mother/daughter team) were helpful and made our stay a happy one.

Perfect Cottage Stay
The Sunset Cottage was a perfect home base for our three days in the John Day Fossil Monument area. The accommodations were bright, cheery, clean, whimsical... They fit our party of 3 adults and 2 kids just right. We were also grateful for the dozen fresh eggs and some pantry items that saved the day when we discovered how meagerly stocked the grocery and general store in Mitchell was. (You would think with all the ranching in the area you could find a great steak in the cold case, but you'd be wrong.) Definitely plan to bring some provisions if you'll be in the area long. As a bonus, if you cook at the cottage, you'll get a chance to really enjoy the amenities that are provided. Mirabelle plums ripe and plentiful just outside your door, outdoor seating with a great view...I could go on. Worth noting: there is only A/C in one of the bedrooms on the main floor. But despite 90+ days we had cool nights, so opening windows was sufficient. Thanks Barbara and Aruna! We'd love to stay again!
