Staying at The Rice Place
The Rice Place hosted its first artists-in-residence in 2012. Since that time, with the input from our first residents, the interior of the house has been totally painted and refurbished, all the while retaining the original look and feel of the house when Clyde and Ginny Rice lived there. The Rice Place is an ideal setting for writers, artists, musicians, naturalists and others who need a tranquil and inspiring environment in which to reflect and create. The house, which is equipped with wi-fi for easy Internet access, has three bedrooms, at least one of which could be used as an office or studio, as well as a fully functional kitchen and a bathroom with a tub and shower. The living room is ideal for workshops and in the past has accommodated up to 12-person groups comfortably. For overnight stays, The Rice Place has three bedrooms (one with a double bed, one with a queen bed, one with a queen futon) and could possibly accommodate up to six people, though one to three people would be the norm. Children are welcome (children younger than 12 are free) but, unfortunately, we cannot accommodate pets. Also note that there is a two-night minimum for overnight stays. The 10-acre property is situated on the Clackamas River, which is an easy walk from the house through scenic orchards and fields. The fields themselves, and the surrounding landscape, would provide countless opportunities for sketching or painting, as well as a summer venue for music, dance, or writing workshops. The possibilities seem endless. You'll find an on-line application form, including suggested donation rates, HERE.
