Lovely home, great location.

I'd be happy to stay here again. Loved the beautiful furnishings, very comfortable and the bonus of a spa made our ladies get away extra special. Close to town, but away from noisy streets. The University just across the street provides numerous walking paths through some beautiful landscape.

Great Home and Great Host!

We were very pleased with University House. The house was immaculate and well-decorated with family treasures. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location is perfect for trips to wineries or day trips to the coast, Portland, or hiking. Leigh is a very attentive host and I would give her 10 stars if I could!

Absolutely perfect

We had a wonderful stay at this charming home while attending our 40th high school reunion with three lifelong friends. The location was perfect — a very walkable distance into town, which made it easy to explore and enjoy everything the area had to offer. Communication with our host, Leigh, was excellent from start to finish. She was incredibly responsive and provided helpful recommendations for local restaurants and things to do, which made our visit even more enjoyable.The house itself was full of charm and had plenty of space for all four of us to spread out and relax. We especially appreciated the ample and safe parking. The outdoor seating area was lovely and the hot tub was a relaxing bonus after our busy day. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Amazing historic home with all the amenities

Stayed for a weekend with 4 women; wine tasting in Newberg. The hostess was friendly and made the checkin seamless. The beds are extremely comfortable!! Lots of extra pillows and blankets too. The house is in an excellent location across the street from George Fox and walking to restaurants. Living room, office and dining room are all beautiful. We barbecued one night and had all the amenities plus more! The hot-tub was a true bonus. We will visit again!!

About the host

Hosted by Leigh Wellikoff

I have always loved the historic buildings and close knit neighborhoods in this northern part of Newberg. Many years ago, I was delighted to jump at the opportunity when I saw a realtor installing a 'For Sale' sign on the property that would become U House. I've restored four houses in this part of town, nurturing them from various states of disrepair into beautiful homes. My love of antiques shows throughout the house, as many of the furnishings are family heirlooms. In my forty years of living in the Willamette Valley, I continue to be amazed at the astonishing variety available here. Downtown Newberg is full of character with an intimate, easy-going atmosphere. The mid-valley area is so spectacular in its geography, recreational choices, abundant wildlife, agricultural diversity and artistic community, yet also close to town and city environments. I enjoy being able to go from valley to mountain to desert in a few hours to the East, or West through the Coast Range to some of the most stunning coastline to be found anywhere. Allow us to introduce you to this unique part of the world, or assist you in deepening your own appreciation of what our area has to offer. Welcome to the U House...your home away from home while visiting Yamhill County.

Why they chose this property

This turn of the century home caught my eye years before it became available, and I was thrilled to be able to turn the house into a comfortable haven for travellers to enjoy. This is a beautiful historic area with a friendly neighborhood network, quiet yet close to a wide array of dining and activities in premiere wine country.

What makes this property unique

The wine country mural in the hot tub patio draws your stress out and away with every warm bubbly moment. Family antiques lend a sense of belonging and connection to your stay. Enjoy the flames in the fireplace while placing your cares aside for a time. You need only ask and we will provide full concierge service to recommend dining and sightseeing options as well as make those reservations for you. We truly want you to feel at home here.
