About the host
Hosted by Rachel & Michael Sherwood
Hello! We are Michael & Rachel Sherwood. We warmly welcome you to come and stay at the charming & special Victorian Secrets and experience our wonderful town. We have been Newberg residents for over 30 years - and Portlanders for as long as we can remember. Michael came to Oregon from the flatlands of Kansas (courtesy of the US Air Force) and Rachel doesn't know another place to call "home". We both consider Yamhill County as THE BEST PLACE ON EARTH. Our own Sherwood residence is far enough away to allow your independent sanctuary experience, but close enough (within 5 miles) for us to easily offer local advice, guidance or any needed/desired concierge service. When you are in our home, you are "HOME".
Why they chose this property
On an unusual free Saturday with no calendar commitments, we randomly happened across this regal Victorian residence in our hometown, Newberg. We were immediately hooked to make it a welcoming haven for guests to come and enjoy our community and vast surrounding attractions. There is so much to do within walking distances to downtown, drives to the wine country, connections to several neighboring Universities and easy access to the hustle-bustle of Portland Big City life. Both of us adored the historic design and worked hard for a year to give Victorian Secrets an eclectic vibe that honors the old with a new appeal. You're gonna love this place as much as we do!
What makes this property unique
You won't be disappointed. Unique designs and open spaces throughout. Walking convenience to shopping, dining, coffee shops, and Newberg downtown wine tasting rooms makes an easy option for independence in a group getaway. Come stay and satisfy your curious nature!
