The Kjar House. A one bedroom family retreat in the Oregon outback.

For those who are curious…Kjar is pronounced “care”.

After driving thru Plush in the early morning hours several years ago, I fell in love with the area.
The home is an older manufactured home that has had many upgrades in the past few years.
It is our family's home away from home and unlike some rentals, we do have family pictures, a few European trophy mounts and my sons first Buck throughout the house.
This is home to us and we want to share it with you. We strive to make The Kjar house feel like your home away from home as well.
It has one bedroom with a comfy queen size bed. A large living room with a Futon and a den that has an additional Futon, if needed.
The house is fully equiped. The large deck , which overlooks the lawn, is great for kicking back after your trip and even better for Star gazing. Plush is knows as one of the Darkest places on the west coast and there is very little light pollution here.

Great location for adventures

The Kjar home was well situated to access Hart mountain reserve. Unfortunately many of the roads were still closed but we saw plenty of antelope. The guide to activities in the area was very helpful and the breakfast burrito at the store across the street was delicious

Great accommodations

The Kjar house in Plush was perfect for us. Two adults and a large dog, doing some sightseeing and visiting the sunstone mine. House was easy to find, very comfortable and clean, well appointed and equipped. Lots of lovely additional touches too, vast selection of cups for the Keurig, bags of snacks and bars, and dog treats. We very much enjoyed our stay at the Kharkiv house and will definitely stay there again on our next trip!,

Fantastic! Exceptionally clean. Well stocked, as if you were staying at a friend's home. Easy to find. Prompt and friendly communication with host. Went up to Hart Mountain, which has fantastic views. Saw antelope at the edge of town!

Peaceful retreat

The house was clean and comfortable. I had everything I needed. The only negative is I wished I could turn the heater in the living room down from 70 degrees, but I was in the back bedroom. I like it cool to sleep. I explored the area for 3 days and enjoyed coming back late and tired to rest and refuel for the next day. It was cool so I did not sit outside much. I hope to make a fire next time I‘m there. I plan to come back soon.

Love it!

This is the second time we have stayed at the Kjar House. We love the location, the house, and the area. We have been coming to the Hart Mt. area for over 34 years. As we have got older it is really nice to have a nice bed, great kitchen, bathroom!!!!, and it's all in the middle of exploring the area. You can walk over to the store, restaurant, and gas station, and see it from the deck. We have used the BBQ several times and it has been nice to have as a dinner option. Overall, the house is well kept, well equipped, and very comfortable. We will be back. Thanks Tim!!!!

The home was great, only suggestion I have would be to add curtains in the bedroom and on the front door. Morning sun comes in pretty early and if you are sleeping in either room your up.

We have never used VRBO. We were very satisfied with the accommodations. great location in the heart of Plush. check-in, all communications with the owner were spot on. The house keeping was excellent. Everything that is needed to make your self at home was there. If the need and time arise we will stay there again. No complaints or short coming.

Excellent stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Kjar home! Very comfortable, plenty of space for my family. It was such a fantastic place to come back to relax, shower, do laundry and cook a meal after scouting and hunting! Them was such an awesome person to communicate with and he was incredibly accommodating. We will absolutely be recommending this home to anyone who is in the Plush area.

This house was a perfect oasis as we were meeting friends who were RV camping 15 miles away. Air con was great. Property was beautifully appointed and everything worked great. Having a washer and dryer was a plus. Would love to stay there again!

We have been here before and we love it. We did some more exploring of the area and also visited sites we have been before. Super nice to come home to a great house and shower after a dusty day out in the desert. We will be back.
