  • Since my oldest daughter moved to Oregon some 12 years ago, I've made numerous trips from California. This trip marked the birth of her 6th child. My youngest daughter, her two boys, and I stayed in this house while waiting for "the word". It was so nice, clean, and comfortable that we felt at home as soon as we walked in. We especially loved the kitchen, equipped with every gadget, appliance, pots and pans everyone needs! The little boys enjoyed playing in the beautiful backyard, and watching the Mill Creek run through the property. We loved the old house and will plan on more stays here. A very nice experience, for sure! Glad I found it online.

  • My family and I stayed at this fantastic home in July for five days. We were attending a wedding in Silverton and decided on a home rental for the six of us instead of two generic hotel rooms at $160 each. We've had great experiences with VRBO rentals over the last few years, and this one was no exception. The house has lots of character, is in a very convenient location, and the front and back yard are fantastic. We had breakfast in the beautifully landscaped back yard every morning. Having A/C came in handy - every day was around 95 degrees!

  • This was our first vacation rental and it was truly a find. The pictures posted on the website don’t justify the beauty and serenity of this home. We made the trip to Oregon to drop our daughters off for their first year of college. My husband and I and another couple stayed at the house with our two daughters. It was so roomy; we had no problems with bumping into one another. The location was so convenient for shopping at Lancaster Mall as well as Woodburn Company Store, an outlet mall. The owner also made sure she gave us directions to a Walmart Super Store and Safeway for food, and also recommended restaurants in the area. She also had brochures available for other points of interest. After shopping all day, it was really nice to get back to the house. We made use of the gas grill in the back yard to grill up some steaks and sat in a spacious dining room for dinner. We felt at home. There is no question in our minds that we will rent this home again. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.

  • We stayed in this wonderful, nicely decorated home with our 2 adult children and a teenager. The house is very well kept and comfortable with plenty of books, games & movies to keep everyone happy. We all had lots of space to spread out and found the location to be very convenient. Our always hungry boys especially enjoyed the 24 hour Mexican drive-through restaurant 1/2 a block away. My husband and I enjoyed our morning coffee and newspaper in the enclosed back porch and we all loved the beautiful yard with the creek running through it. All in all, this house totally exceeded our expectations and we would definitely stay again.

  • We have rented vacation condos and homes whenever we traveled with our children for more than a couple days, and now we would not consider anything different - even without kids! This home would be at the top of our recommendations. It's tastefully decorated and has a beautiful garden; close to downtown and the surrounding destinations like wineries, rafting and hiking. The owners did not furnish it with rundown appliances and leftovers from rummage sales. It's an old home, but immaculate. If you've never rented a home for a vacation, you absolutely will not be disappointed if you start here. Enjoy!

  • What a delighful house! It was very homey and mornings on the porch with a cup of tea was peaceful and restorative. The gardens are lovely and you really don't have to go anywhere else if you are just looking for a quiet, restful place to relax.

    Thank you so much for offering such a beautiful home! Our graduation and family get together wouldn't have been the same if we hadn't met in such a warm and sospitable home. It is a most wonderful spot and I feel honored to have been the first guests to stay here! Thanks again! The Fish Family
