Still Awesome
5th time staying at this gem. Wildlife in abundance. There must have been a dozen wild turkeys wandering around the property. Blue Heron, Canada Geese, woodpeckers and more. Oh, flannel sheets, so comfy.

Perfect everything!!!
This property was the perfect place for a quiet, peaceful and comfortable visit. It had EVERYTHING to make a stay perfect! The beds were so comfortable, the space was so clean and cozy.. we could not ask for more! We loved being able to step out onto the deck and hear the birds (or view with the provided binoculars). I hope to have a reason to come back to this area, I would stay here every time!

Great House in a wonderful location
The house is absolutely perfect and in a wonderful and very quiet spot. We really loved it there. We were there for three nights and would come back any time if ever in the area. The house was equipped with everything, beds are great and porch wonderful with a great view.

Relaxing place to call home base.
Instead of staying in Salem, we found this awesome rental just out of town. It is among rolling hills of farmland. House was clean and impressively updated.

Thrilled With Our Stay!
We are so glad we chose this property for the week we were in Albany for our daughter’s wedding! The hostess is thoughtful and accommodating. It was VERY clean. The house is well maintained with quality updates. It is nicely furnished and well appointed with cozy additions like blankets on the couch, battery operated candles and a gas fireplace stove. Everything was labeled for ease of use—light switches, remote controls, etc.. Lots of games and some books stored in an accessible and tidy way. The expectation of us as guests was clearly presented and appreciated. We were surprised and thankful for all of the bed pillows and bedding available. Plenty of bath towels and convenient extras like shampoo, body wash, etc., Q-tips, make-up remover towelettes, and mouthwash. There were snacks provided that came in very handy more than once during our busy days. We loved the location—close to town but felt secluded. Our girls loved walking around the pond and the wild blackberries were ripe, plentiful, and tasted amazing. We were familiar with the area since we lived in Albany previously, but for those who have not, there was an abundance of information to peruse about all there is to see and do, as well as dining options nearby. My mother has stayed at several vacation rentals and she was highly impressed with this one and commented that it FAR surpassed her previous experiences. In summary, we really loved staying at this property and it exceeded our expectations.

A rural delight!
Wonderfully updated home away from the hustle of the city. Great area for hiking, biking and paddling. Kitchen, bathroom, porch, and propane grill were all first rate. Comfortable beds, washer and dryer, and a great soaking tub. The longer we stayed, the more fun things we found to do!

Home away from home and even better ❤️
This was our 2nd stay, and it was just as wonderful as the first. The attention to details is outstanding. Amazing good nights sleep in the comfy beds and morning coffee on the deck with the birds was such a joy! They even provide binoculars to enjoy the view! Was able to cook meals with everything at our finger tips! Nice to have such a comfortable place to come back to after a day to exploring Oregon, including Canon Beach!! Will come back for sure!

This is a roomy, perfectly appointed house that feels independent from the nearby house. Appliances, controls, Internet were all flawless. We have a toddler so I needed to elevate some things he could reach for. We did need to protect him from getting his head stick between mattress and window sill which was easy to do with the extra pillows. It is situated in orchards and overlooks a several-acre wetland with plenty of birds. There was a turkey gang when we arrived but I never spotted those again.

Peaceful Retreat
This home is charming, clean and inviting, spacious enough for my family of four and yet cozy! The home is well equipped to make our stay comfortable . French doors offer great viewing of the lovely 15 acres. We love watching the geese and the variety of birds that make the pond their home. This is definitely one of our favorite VRBO’s and we hope to return!

We cannot say enough about our stay. We came for a weekend of college baseball and bird watching and both were a total success. The house is beautiful, clean and exactly as shown online. The attention to detail and little extras (coffee syrups, snacks, binoculars, makeup pad removers) really put this above most other rentals we have stayed at. It is located on the most beautiful wildlife preserve with a deck overlooking a lake filled with wildlife. We saw baby geese, bald eagles trying to catch breakfast, wild turkeys, coyotes, deer, and so much more. We cannot wait to be back!

So Homey and Amenities Galore
This place truly felt like home; like I was staying at a relatives home who thought of everything I might need. Not only was there everything from seasonings to shampoos, but there was complimentary snacks, champagne, and even fresh eggs! I was tickled about the eggs, the fire, the cozy fur pelt to snuggle with, and the really fluffy comfy bedding. It was more than I expected!

Peaceful Cabin
I was in town to visit my brother and his family, so I didn’t spend much time onsite to maximize all the amenities; however, this was the best stocked places I have ever stayed. The host had coffee, tea, hot chocolate and all the extras to make the best hot beverage. She also had a cabinet with non-perishables available in case needed. There were eggs from their chickens available in the fridge. They had games, birdwatching guides, and lots of local recommendations for your visit. Very cozy place with lots of touches to make your time here relaxing. Outdoor seating was available. Would recommend for anyone seeking a peaceful spot to unwind.

Kathryn and Dee have made us feel so special each time we've come. We even had a coyote welcome us our first night on this trip. To having the lights on, the beautiful flowers and card, to the wonderful throws to snuggle under while watching the wildlfe and weather with the fireplace going. Hubby has enjoyed the coffee bar so much. We've already booked our 5th stay for next summer. Sincerly, D & M.

My husband and I stayed for a week to celebrate our 20th anniversary. It was lovely. The place was clean, comfortable, and in a beautiful area. There were so many little touches that made it feel very welcoming. The only thing we’d change would be to add some sort of window covering for the front door.

Perfect Country Cottage
We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 nights at this beautiful, well stocked cottage. The only "issue" was the shower was a little tight as my husband is a bigger guy. The roads are a bit windy and can be a little confusing, so use your GPS. Beautiful scenery and wildlife. Definitely recommend.

Wonderful Place
Wonderful place, except for the double booking first night - we had to sleep in our rental truck since we arrived at 2:45 am - but after that, all was great, and owner was accommodating to the mishap. Would highly recommend property to others in the area and/or visiting the Willamette Valley for wine tasting or other.
