The Location
Nestled in the foothills of Oregon’s Southern Willamette Valley, The Haven rests at an elevation of 750 feet—just high enough for crisp air, soft misty mornings, and golden evening light.
Located along the McKenzie River corridor, the property’s five acres of gardens, forest, and creek create a sanctuary shaped in partnership with the land.
The Haven is easily accessible: 2 hours from the Portland airport and 35 minutes from the town of Eugene, just 13 miles from I-5.
Along with the retreat space, the Haven property is also home to Artis Flora, a boutique florist and flower farm. The spirit and nature of the Haven is the foundation for the designs Artis Flora offers their clients. Much of the whimsy and depth of the designs come from the forest, creek and gardens of the Haven.
Accommodations
The Haven offers a variety of lodging options, each designed to bring you close to the beauty of the land while providing comfort and quiet. Our spaces are simple, elegant, and thoughtfully placed to invite rest.There are a mix of both private and shared rooms as well as bougie glamping cabins (photos coming early 2026).
The House
The House includes private and shared rooms for up to five guests, two shared bathrooms and a spacious deck overlooking the gardens, The House offers both connection and privacy in a home-like setting.
The Conservatory
A paneled room with wide windows near Sebastian the mini horse’s stable, The Conservatory offers two twin beds and abundant natural light. A shared bathroom is a short walk away, blending rustic charm with quiet comfort.
Tent Cabins (Coming in 2026)
Set among the trees, our canvas tent cabins each hold two twin beds. Here, the sounds of the creek and the softness of the woods create a truly restorative setting. Bathrooms, including an outdoor shower are within a close walk.
