  • We spent four nights here in late September 2009 with our daughter. The house is beautifully decorated, so you don't even feel like you're in a rental! The view and natural light from the living room is amazing. About ten minutes to downtown McMinnville, the house is just outside of town and it really feels like you are in the country. There are over 200 wineries within 15-30 minutes from the house and relaxing scenery all around, including alpacas, goats and a huge treehouse on the property itself. Sally and Ron were wonderful hosts and the breakfast food provided was very thoughtful. Sally made applesauce from their tree for our daughter and picked grapes from the property as well. Both were delicious! We would gladly stay here again when in the area. It was only 30-45 minutes to Portland and a great start to our trip to Oregon. Thank you --

  • This comortable apartment was the perfect home base while exploring the Oregon wine country. Sally and Ron were the perfect hosts, and made sure we had everything we needed, plus much more!

  • Ron and Sally's beautiful guest house was the perfect 3 day get-away we were looking for. We loved the peaceful country setting as well as the convenience of being close to McMinnville. With Ron's helpful directions and Sally's information binder and handouts we spent our days exploring the surrounding area as well as an awesome drive through backroads to the Coast. We made sure to return in plenty of time to enjoy our daily visit with Billy and the other friendly goats, the alpacas and the neighbors' beautiful horses. It was fun to see the goats running to visit with us! From their garden Ron picked sun-ripened cherry tomatoes as well as several varieties of grapes for us to try and they provided more (breakfast) food than we could have possibly eaten! Yes, I would definitely stay here again and I recommend it to everyone.

  • This place is even better than it looks. The gardens really do wrap around the home, and there must be over 50 rose bushes, alone. The house sits on farm land, so it feels very secluded (except for the goats and alpacas, of course), yet it is very close to McMinnville -- including restaurants and tasting rooms. We chose to stay here in large part because of the other positive comments, and it was even better than the comments show. Sally provided more food than we requested (including fruit fresh from their orchard and homemade muffins). I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

  • My wife and I stayed at Sally and Ron's appartment in late July and found it to be exactly as advertised. A wonderful choice if you're wine tasting as we were. Peaceful and quite and close to all attractions. All the amenities one would need. All the breakfast selections that Sally had for us were "over the top"----very impressive. We'll definitely consider another stay on our next Oregon Wine Tour. Don't even think twice------go for it.

  • We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The apartment is spacious,quiet,comfortable and nicely decorated. Sally and Ron are great hosts who made us feel very welcome. This would be a very comfortable place for a long stay or a short one. Great views of the tree house and territorial views from the many picture windows. Lots of good treats for breakfast. This place is close enough to downtown McMinnville to be convenient, but rural enough to very quiet and relaxing. I would definitely look forward to another visit.

  • We had a lovely week in this beautiful apartment. This kind of arrangement is great, with space to spread out, a kitchen, and even washer/dryer. We especially appreciated the nice mix of privacy and welcome Sally and Ron provided, as well as the country setting just outside town. The setting is amazing, with decks, tree house(!) and beautiful gardens.

  • My girlfriend and me stayed here for 3 nights in June. Like other posters we were thoroughly impressed with the accommodations and had a great time. It is as advertised and better! Our hosts have a lot of information about the local area prepared and are very passionate about ensuring their guests have a great stay. Many thanks to Sally and Family.

  • My mother and I spent four relaxing nights here in Sally and Ron's guesthouse. Truly, words are difficult to find to fully describe the gorgeous setting. The home is so livable and pretty with its bamboo floors and fantastic kitchen and with its windows overlooking pastures, flower gardens, and a treehouse. Perfect place from which to explore the Willamette Valley and even get in a day trip to the coast. And, as if this isn't enough, it is made even more special by the graciousness of the owners.

  • Guest Comment entered by Homeowner:
    A super getaway – lovely, spacious, light, private apartment with a gorgeous view. Alpaca and goats roam the rolling green fields. We stayed in late May and the garden was magnificent. We were supplied with ample, delicious breakfast items by fun and enjoyable hosts. Couch in living room made into a great bed for our traveling companion. Enjoyed wine from the surrounding vineyards in Sally and Ron’s unbelievable tree house. When we need to relax on hectic days, instead of dreaming of a palm studded island, we’ll be thinking of sitting three stories up in that big, beautiful tree. We’ll be back!
