Lille Hus Airbnb Oregon

14/07/2023

Lille Hus was our Airbnb. Built about 100 years ago, It took two years to pay off the repairs needed to make it a cozy retreat. With over 300 reviews we've been a super host for years. People have stayed with us from all over the world, from many walks of life, for so many reasons! We've hosted artists, writers, honeymooners, explorers, and people needing to get away from a stressful life. They've walked through our conservation woodland and soaked up the peace.
Clackamas county has announced an end to short-term rentals on exclusive farm use land. So all farm and timber airbnbs will be forced to close.
This tiny house will never become a long-term rental. There is no kitchen. This was a perfect use and we are very sorry that it has to come to an end. We felt like an ambassador for the Willamette valley and Oregon and conservation work.
The income was very important to us.
What makes me crazy is they still allow people to open noisy event centers which drive up congestion, traffic, noise, pollution... Our neighbor's venue can have 200 people partying with thumping music. But we can't host two quiet guests.
I just don't understand.

Steelhead AND coho babies! We walked our Butte Creek CREP program with a wonderful representative from the Pudding River watershed council, and she identified the tiny fish in the creek.
The creek has been so badly used in the past, that I didn't realize it was still an important stream for steelhead or salmon. It makes me more excited than ever to be part of habitat restoration.

One of the very best places to relax with a craft beer and enjoy the sunset, just a 15 minute drive from Lille Hus. Call them in advance if you want to be sure there's a food cart. We always enjoy coming here.

Lent may be over, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be a little penitential with a Hairshirt! Our Hairshirt IPA, named for a garment sometimes worn as a sign of penance, is back on tap, just for you!

We took a little exploratory trip around Corvallis last week, looking for hiking and other day trip adventures. We found so many trails, parks, nurseries and farm stands, as well as plenty of unique shopping and restaurants. We loved Corvallis!

This is the stand of trees to the south of Lille Hus.

How they've grown! 15 years since we started CREP, the middle stand of fir is ready for needed thinning. If we don't, they will grow tall and weak, and fall like dominoes in a strong wind.
In front is the new planting, about four years old; sturdy survivors of the heat dome and deer browsing.
The giants in the background are Douglas and Grand fir.

We have beavers in Butte Creek, and they've been making side channels and islands, good for flood management, wildlife.They are an active force in our conservation effort.
Beavers once numbered in the hundreds of millions, and much of North America was covered in wetlands they created. By 1900, it's estimated about 100,000 remained, mostly in Canada.

We've added two trails to the woods this year. They give us access to areas that need work, but mostly they encourage us to wander.

Guests have asked us where to go for breakfast, and honestly, Covid closed all the places we knew. So, bummer, we have to go try out some breakfast spots! Here's Main St. Bistro & Coffee in Silverton.
