Scenic getaway

This location was perfect for a quiet getaway from city life. The property is breathtaking with hiking trails on site. The house itself was comfortable and offered excellent views of nature. It is also close to several state parks which offered ample opportunity to enjoy nature.

YOUR HOME MADE OUR TRIP SPECIAL!!

My special childhood friends and I came back to Oregon for our 50th High Shool Reunion. The Fuller House was the perfect place for us to gather and reminisce about our many years in Oregon. The home was big enough to allow us personal space. But cozy enough to let us geel close.

Spacious and comfortable

Fuller Hill House proved to be excellent headquarters for our family group of seven / three generations. We had plenty of space to gather, both inside and out. When privacy was needed, we retreated to our respective quarters, which were roomy, yet also quiet and cozy. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Fuller Hill House.

Perfect spot for a gathering

There are not enough nice things to say about this wonderful place but let's go with roomy, clean, eclectic, comfortable and the best possible option for hanging with friends and family. I loved the roomy, well-equipped kitchen, the beautiful outdoor space and the adorable guest house. The host is responsive and accommodating. If you are on the fence about securing this fabulous place, hop off and do it. You won't regret the decision.

Would stay again

My family and I stayed here because of a family event nearby. We loved the house! First impressions were that it was beautifully furnished and decorated. It also has tons of natural light. We spent most of our time in the kitchen, which had a huge table that was great for dining, playing games, and just hanging out. All of the bedrooms are large with plenty of space to spread out. We also enjoyed the fire pit outside and the surrounding property. It's wooded and lovely. The hosts, Krista and Jeff, were quick to respond to anything we needed. We'd definitely stay again.

Very nice stay

Key box was bit tricky to find. Would recommend defining that better. Overall we were very happy, just could have used a little better cleaning. Owner said he would speak to the cleaning crew and I’m sure he will. The owner was very responsive to my questions and made us feel very welcome. The scenery was amazing and so peaceful. Would recommend this place to anyone. I’m planning a return visit in July.

So charming

I love this property. So very charming. Very large rooms. We played games on the big kitchen table. The beds were comfortable. The inside was clean. The only complaint was the outside back of the house could have used a good cleaning. I'm sure with the beautiful trees all over it would be hard keep clean. I would love to pick up this home and move it to Cali. Thanks for the wonderful memories we made here. West coast fam.

Perfect Place to Reconnect

Fuller Hill House was spacious as well as cozy with a myriad of whimsical and thoughtful touches. We were a family of with adult children and their partners plus our dog. We all had plenty of room for cooking, reading, relaxing, and playing games. Most folks explored the area including hiking at White Pines and Lowden Miller. Downtown Oregon had cute shops and food and beverage options. The stars were wonderful at night. Lovely views and nice trails for our pooch. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was was stocked for us to make our Thanksgiving meal. Lots of seasonings and other basics like olive oli available. We loved the wide variety of books and games. The kitchen was definitely our favorite spot with enough room for crafting, games, meals, and food prep. The fireplace, recliners, and bay window were a special treat. We were close to town but felt surrounded by nature. We would love to return again!

Beautiful wooded view

We loved staying at this property for a week long work trip. The wooded view from every window was amazing coupled with the cozy fireplace and plenty of space for our small crew to spread out and work for the week. The master bed was so comfy we seriously may buy one for our house! Easy check in, nice and clean, sweet outdoor space, and small, quirky touches well thought out! Our crew had everything we needed for a perfect but busy work week away from home!

Spacious & Stylish

The Fuller House is lovely! Stylishly appointed, very clean, plenty of room for our group of 9, comfortable beds, and accommodating for the dog. Lots of space for the preschoolers to play. The windows open onto beautiful tree-filled views. There is a fenced area that was great for playing with the dog. The road in front is busy and a little loud, but the house is set back. There is no microwave, but we found everything else we needed to prepare our meals. We enjoyed the fireplace in the kitchen! (I hope we remembered to shut the flue...) The teenager absolutely loved having his own space in the artist's studio. The manager was very responsive although the only thing we needed to ask about was more dishwasher soap (which was already on hand). We enjoyed the Riverboat sightseeing cruise, visits to the various nearby state parks, and brunch at the Swedish Pancake House in Byron. We do not recommend La Vigna Italian restaurant (overpriced and they add an undisclosed fee for putting a few blue cheese crumbles on your salad).
