Mountain Hideaway B and B

Mountain Hideaway Bed & Breakfast is set on 16 acres of natural forest inside the Cascade Siskiyou National Monument**. The biodiversity that has made the Monument famous is very evident in our land and as the season’s change, so do the variety of flora, fauna and wildlife that inhabit the area.

On this property alone there are 7 different soil types and our ecosystems range from wildflower strewn mountain meadow and grassland areas to sunlit groves and woodlands – forested with numerous varieties of trees such as sugar pine, white and black oak and cedar to name a few.

Seasonal creeks run through the property in the early parts of the year, but should you crave getting your feet wet, a 2 minute walk further along Mill Creek Road will find you at Keene Creek which runs all year.

The deer and wild turkeys are daily visitors during most of the year, and there are always chattering squirrels in the trees near the house. We also have a pair of foxes on our property that we hear more than we see!!! The Monument, as well as being biologically diverse is also a bird haven. More than 200 species have been identified, including the Northern Spotted Owl, the Great Gray Owl, the Peregrine Falcon and the Willow Flycatcher, and you only have to go out on to the deck to see a large variety of our feathered friends. Add to this the numerous insects and butterflies and it is no wonder that this area has been called an “ecological wonder, with biological diversity unmatched in the Cascade Range..."

** Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument was established in 2000 and encompasses approximately 53,000 acres. The convergence of southwestern Oregon's Cascade, Siskiyou and Klamath mountain ranges in Monument creates a landscape of exceptional geologic complexity and a gateway to one of the great reservoirs of biodiversity in North America.

The Monument is an ecological meeting of the north, south, east and west. For example, species typically found east of the Cascades--such as pygmy nuthatches and kangaroo rats--share habitat with western species such as rough-skinned newts and northern spotted owls. The Monument's rich forests shelter the threatened Northern Spotted Owl, its pristine streams flow with trout found nowhere else, and its lush wildflower meadows are alive with a diversity of butterflies nearly unsurpassed in the United States.
