Nostalgic 70's cabin style, reminiscent of when rock musician Steve Miller lived here. The space Grandly situated on the shore of Heron Pond, this truly beautiful house is nestled in an iconic 420 acre forest/meadow nature and educational center called Pacifica: A Garden in the Siskiyous. Listed as one of the Historic Places in Oregon on the National Register, this home has had a long history: • 1860’s land grant homestead • 1940’s cutting edge architecture • 1970’s home of rock musician Steve Miller (“Fly Like an Eagle”) • 1999 center piece residence at Pacifica: A Garden in the Siskiyous, a non-profit educational nature center. Although the space is private and tucked away, the Pond House is located within Pacifica. It is a lively place, so there may be events happening during your stay, hikers walking around, people riding horses, or kids taking classes at outdoor school during the day.
