A Gem in Newberg

Loved this beautiful Victorian home! Very clean, the decor is nicely done and many unique fun things to discover around the home. The host has put a lot of thought into things you would need to have a nice, comfortable stay. The porch, patio, manicured garden and trees, the putt putt area makes it complete. 7 of us stayed here and we all enjoyed our stay! The host was easy to contact and truly a great host! Location was great too! Near the town area and a nice community. Would definitely stay here again.

Wedding Weekend

We were in town for our daighters wedding. It was a great place to unwind between errands and getting ready for the big day. It was also close enough to restaurants that we could walk to them. It was only a few blocks from where the rest of the family was staying so we could leave the cars.

Rented this wonderful house for my three children and their spouses to attend my nieces wedding at Water Oasis. This was the perfect refuge as well as a really fun gathering place for my crew and relatives that were visting the area for the same occasion.
