It was great to spend a few quite days in the country while visiting family in the area. I hadn't slept so well in a long time. Definitely would stay again.

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.

We loved all the special touches (the coffee syrups, condiments, spices, etc)! It was very clean, cozy & welcoming. We wish we had more time to spend watching the birds, walking the property! enjoying

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.

This rental gets better each time we visit, and it was great to start with. So many birds and other creatures. A hidden gem in the middle of farm country.

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!

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!

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.

The place was amazing from the fishing in the pond to the quiet nights and mornings, still close enough to town but in the traffic

Great property, clean and comfortable. Positioned well, south of the prime Pino Noir country of the US. Recommend it for wine lovers.

This property was very relaxing and still close enough to get projects in town completed. Nice to be able to hear the sounds of nature and your own thoughts.
Great location and home away from home!

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!

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.

Magical place. The house was great the 1st time we stayed in 2022 and the owners keep making it better. Bird watching on the deck while having the morning coffee was the therapy I needed.
