The Lobenhaus had a very special visitor the other day – a handsome American Bald Eagle! Wish I could share a photo… but he gave me the eagle eye & soared away. Mr. Eagle was flying from tree to tree watching the rainbow trout in our pond. Absolutely beautiful in flight!

We welcome your visit, a day or two, or just an afternoon - bring binoculars, picnic & Oregon Pinot Noir!
