Second time staying here and it was just as enjoyable. The house is so well stocked with everything you could need. And the birds were amazing including the wild turkeys that visited everyday. I’ll be back again.

Another Wonderful Stay

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.

Paradise

Hands down - the best vrbo we have stayed in! The property is expansive, peaceful and beautiful - a bird watchers paradise. The inside had so many little touches like bubble bath, coffee and cream and even eggs from her chickens. We would highly recommend !

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.

Amenities were above all expectations!! Lovely surroundings and accommodations! It was a work trip and I shared this with the entire corporation! No more hotels! My only suggestion is for a larger or additional rug in the bath. Wildlife was audible and visible! Wild turkeys, beavers, frogs and elk bugles in the night

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!

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!

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!

Beautiful little 2 bedroom home.

Everything was accurate for the listing and the door code was provided in advance. There were many small amenities including coffee/tea, bath items (including bubble bath for the large tub), games/puzzles, and even farm fresh eggs in the fridge.

Crown Jewel in a Bucolic setting.

Quiet and Quant! Beautiful inside and out. Free range eggs were a special treat. Plenty of room for 4 people. The pond outside was a beautiful view.

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.

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 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.

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!

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!
