Welcome to Oregon's longest running store. It all stated in 1896 here in the wonderful John Day valley. We have always been a Mercantile since 1894. Enjoy our oasis and local swimming holes, fishing and hunting all year around in this special area. Our store caters to the fossil hunter and the Sheep Rock Unit of the Fossil Beds is at our back door. To complement your stay u can tour the old store anytime. We look forward to seeing you!

Your membership includes an overnight stay at a Host. Extra nights are available at the Host's discretion.

There are no limitations regarding extra nights or fees. We just ask you shop with us and we hope you have a great Western Experience as we bring you back in time.

You can check in before 8:00pm in the evening or just come and feel welcome in our lot and take a break anytime and will see you in the morning for complimentary Coffee.

Enjoy the old House & Store and appreciate the old western Boardwalk.

You can purchase anything from our little store. Soda to beer and regional wine. For the sweet tooth you can get some of our homemade candy from Grandmas famous recipes that continues to this day with my father. For the adventure at heart you can take one of our short "side by side" rides to a view point or our local swimming holes during the summer months.
