About this property
Life in the Woods - Minutes to town! Mt. Emily Retreat at the MERA Trailhead!
3 bedroom 6 bed cabin tucked in the woods next to Mount Emily Recreation Area (3,700 acres of recreation and miles of free trails) -- just minutes from town. Enjoy hiking, biking, and skiing right out the front door. Host a dinner party in the large kitchen, or cook on the BBQ under the covered deck while your dogs play in the fenced yard.

About the host
Hosted by Wesley Campbell
We met in college and now are neighbors in La Grande. Both of us are born and raised in Oregon and have found our way back to NE Oregon after living around the West.
What makes this property unique
The Owl's Nest is located at MERA trailhead with a great view of town, minimal neighbors and lots of privacy. You are close enough for a visit to the brewery after a bike/ski or a quick trip to Liberty Cafe for an amazing breakfast sandwich.
