Perry Gabbert purchased Fern Bottom Farm in 1910. It has remained in the Gabbert family since that time, as an active farm, retreat and Frisbee golf course, among many other things. Located on 70 acres of retired farm and active forest in the Oregon coast range, it serves as a getaway from cell phones and city life. In addition to the original farmhouse and blacksmith shop, there are several other outbuildings, listed below, built and maintained by multiple generations of Gabberts.

Meadowlark

Built 35 years ago, but left to the wild shortly thereafter, Meadowlark was generally unattended for years. In an effort to create additional indoor/outdoor event space, the existing porch and front wall were removed to make room for a new 12'x32' Ipe deck and two eight-foot sliding doors that allow the users to experience the space seamlessly when in use and the building to be shut down when not.
