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!

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.

A Wonderful Get Away
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.

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!

Magical getaway
Amazing getaway for my wife and her friend to recharge batteries before beginning of school. Couches were comfy, great views at night of meteor shower, and very cozy accommodations all the way around helped make us dads look like geniuses and the moms starting a new tradition! Will be back for sure!

I came to stay here with my daughter and her grampy. It is located in the perfect spot for kids to really get some good nature time. And she loved the entire house especially the tub.the home is very well stocked for your stay. The host was very responsive and accommodated us for an early check-in.

Excellent!!!
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.

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!

A bit of paradise
A charming little house with lovely detail! Windows looking out on a pond with a multitude of geese and goslings and ducks and ducklings! Ideal setting for bird watching! The hosts have thought of everything to make their visitors comfortable and enjoy their stay! I have stayed at many VRBO’s and this one is outstanding!

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.

Paradise
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!
