HOUSE RULES
•
HOUSE RULES •
Alright, the no-fun-stuff first! We ask that you enjoy MTH with care, have some common sense, & respect the following rules:
If something gets damaged or isn’t working, let us know right away—we’d rather address it quickly than let it linger!
1
No pet business on the front lawn. This is non-negotiable.
2
Do not access or enter any areas of the property that are locked or labeled “staff only.”
3
Unless arranged otherwise, only registered guests (max 16) are permitted on the property. No weddings, receptions, or other events.
4
Coolers stay outside—no coolers inside the house (they have leaked and damaged our floors).
5
No smoking, open flames, or fireworks on the property. Vaping is permitted outside only.
6
Keep the gate (north side of house) closed — open gates invite deer to eat the roses & flowers.
7
Wipe up spills immediately — standing liquids will damage the wood floors and fabrics.
8
Do not take linens or towels from any cabinets, drawers, or the laundry room. If you need anything, just ask!
9
Do not use or access the outdoor pizza oven and pool filter & heater.
10
Do not touch the Vestaboard upstairs — it’s not manual!
11
Windows/doors must stay closed if the air conditioning is on.

DIRECTIONS
📍 If you use Apple Maps or Google Maps, you can search “Mount Tom House” and will be guided right here!
🏠 Our address is: 34251 Mount Tom Dr, Harrisburg, OR 97446
❓ In the last few miles of the drive, you might scratch your head and wonder “are we going in the right direction?” — you are! The most important thing to note is that Mount Tom Dr is going to transition to a single-lane paved driveway directly ahead of you. You are going to follow the driveway all the way to our house. It’s steep, it curves, & is 1/2 mile long. Look for the Mount Tom House signs at the start and end of our driveway to help guide you the last 1/2 mile!
Please note: at the start of our driveway, you will see a big rock to the left with “34051” — that is our neighbors’ nearly identical house numbers. Do not go left - follow the Mount Tom House sign ahead of you.
🅿️ Once you have driven the 1/2 mile up our driveway, you’ll see the house numbers embedded in rocks and a 3-car garage. You can park in front of the garage or in our gravel parking lot!
🚖 Taxis & Ubers/Lyfts: you will be able to catch taxis/Ubers/Lyfts from Eugene to Mount Tom House. To get from Mount Tom House to Eugene, we recommend scheduling a taxi or pre-scheduling an Uber/Lyft. Uber & Lyft do not provide on-demand services from Mount Tom House at this time!

We have a few asks to ensure a great time for everyone at Mount Tom House:
Deer, chickens, cats | Please note that there are a plethora of deer on the property. We also have chickens + two cats. If your pup likes to chase other animals, we recommend they stay on leash to avoid adventures into the woods.
Doing their business | Pups are welcome to do their business anywhere except the front lawn (the grass & area all around the house). This is a requirement, not an ask. We work hard to keep the grass and garden looking great for future guests and events. $150 fine for each pee/poop on the front lawn.
Trashcans are available on the front patio for poop bags. Unless pups do their business in the woods, poop must be picked up before departure.
Linens | If pups sleep with you in bed, we require that a blanket is placed over the duvet & sheets in order to protect them from any sneaky mud stains. A blanket & towel is included in your dog basket.
Please do not use bath towels or bath mats to wipe down your pup! The bath & bedding linens are intended for humans only.
Extra items | Just inside the front door you will find a basket with some dog toys, extra poop bags, and towels to wipe off dirty paws. If you need anything, just ask!
SMOKING, VAPING & OPEN FLAMES
• smoking/vaping is permitted in the designated outdoor smoking area only
• smoking or vaping is not permitted anywhere else on the property, including inside Mount Tom House or on the balconies
• we take this very seriously, especially during fire season. If these rules are not followed, you will be charged fines and risk immediate termination of the event & lodging at Mount Tom House.
Thank you for respecting our policies!
KITCHEN
garbage disposal & sink | Our septic system does not handle food down the garbage disposal – please dispose of food in the trash. The switch to the garbage disposal is under the sink.
First Aid + cleaning supplies | You will find cleaning supplies, a fire extinguisher, and a first aid kit on the bar cart.
upstairs fridge |The upstairs fridge doors are finicky and need to be firmly pushed to close. If you hear a beeping sound, that is telling you that the fridge is not closed. We receive notifications as well and might send you a message if it’s been open for a while.

POOL & HOT TUB
pool | the pool is not heated October - mid June. If you would like the pool heated during your stay, please inquire about pricing with Juli
hot tub | we will coordinate heating the hot tub during your stay. We manually switch between heating & filtering the pool and hot tub, which means we can keep the hot tub running for a while, but will need to turn it off for a period of a few hours each day.
Important: Guests do not have access to control the hot tub / pool or change the filter and heater settings. Our system is 40 years old and has character. We’ll take care of managing everything.
BABIES & KIDDOS
Let us know if littles are joining and what items we can have available. Some of the things we have on hand include:
high chair
kids’ tableware & drinkware
pack n’ play
portable baby wash tub, soap, washcloths
please note that unless requested, these items will not be accessible
HIKING THE TRAILS
Bring along a pair of hiking boots with you to enjoy the trails!
waterproof hiking boots are highly recommended November - June; the trail will have standing water in some spots & a creek to cross.
Flying Wyrm Easement Trails
our upper trail is a little over 1 mile long and ends at a west-facing lookout point. You will find the start of the trail behind the house. Look for the outbuilding with unpainted cedar shingles and then continue up on the path behind it!
the lookout is on our neighbors' property; they kindly welcome Mount Tom House guests to enjoy the view. Please be respectful of their property and privacy (you'll notice their cabin to the north of the lookout).
in partnership with McKenzie River Trust
Tents Gravel Road
a shorter route to a similar westward view
walk down our driveway, past the green shop and you will see a huge gravel road on your left
pop down there and you’ll find the lookout (.25 miles from the house) as well as where our glamping tents are located in the summer!
you can continue down the gravel road - it pops you down to the bottom of the paved driveway
