- Pet Rules: We are glad to host your pets too (as in dogs 🐶). Anything beyond that — lizards, ferrets, emotional support peacocks — needs a little pre-approval, just so we’re all on the same page. Regardless of how well trained the pet is, we have found pets do crazy things at unfamiliar locations. I really do not want to charge for cleaning carpets or floor rugs. It’s a pain, so please READ carefully! Thank you!
We ask for compliance in a few house rules:
🛋️ No pets on the furniture — no matter how much they side-eye ya.
🚪 No pets in the bedrooms. We just replaced carpets and are trying to keep things fresh and fur-free.
🛏️ Bring their own bedding if possible to prevent marking or nervous accidents. Trust us, they do happen! If you don’t have any, let me know — I’ve got extra pet blankets you can use.
🚿 No pet baths in the tub. That spa day is for humans only.
🚧 Please keep them on wood flooring, use the baby gates provided or close bedroom doors to ensure compliance.
🚫 No unkenneled solo pet parties — please don’t leave your pet unattended unless properly crated.
🐶 Need pet care while you`re out? We’ve got a Rover sitter on standby — just say the word.
💩 Please scoop the poop. It’s basic trail etiquette and good humaning.
There is a $40 per week per pet fee for dogs (capped at $120 per month), Any other pets will be considered on a case by case basis- please inquire. If you already paid it through your reservation, great! If not, please reach out and we can discuss the various channels depending on how you booked that we can use.
*Violations of house rules may result is a $250 fine.

The house was perfect for our needs. It was clean, near restaurants and best of all, away from the chaos of "campus life". The kitchen was nicely stocked with all the pots/pans/plates/cups necessary for "cooking in". Not sure about the upstairs beds, but the downstairs bed was one of the most comfortable that I've slept on between multiple vacation rentals and hotel rooms. We would definitely rent again.

5 Stars – Great Stay!We had a fantastic stay at this property. The house was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described—perfect for a relaxing getaway. Communication with the host was smooth and easy, which made the entire process stress-free. We really enjoyed our time here and would absolutely recommend this home to others. Hope to be back!
The property was very clean and the host provided excellent communication. There was plenty of room for 3 adults and 1 dog. The TV is a smart TV and we watched several movies. The kitchen was missing smaller saucepans, but the host plans to replace. The house is on a very busy road and the sound of traffic did keep us from sleeping well, but the house is close to a Safeway and other amenities.
We were visiting family in the area. A great location to get to stores and to come and go. Easy home for my 98 year old mom to get around in. We would stay here again.

This is our 2nd time staying at this location and hopefully not our last. We had a few questions come up throughout the stay but Mary was quick to respond and provide resolutions. Very happy with our experience.
We had a great stay at this house. We were visiting my OSU student with both sets of grandparents. The space was great for our mini reunion! We noticed the traffic noise but were able to tune it out. There were a couple kitchen things we had to improvise (peeler, something to reseble plastic wrap).

Thanks so much! Glad to hear everything turned out well during your stay with us at Redtail Ridge Rentals. You were great guests, and we’d be happy to have you back at any of our 26 properties and counting! Look us up directly to save some money on your next stay.
I was taking my management team to a conference at the college. The house is adorable and very comfortable, with easy access to our destination. I wish we had more time to enjoy it.
Mary was an excellent host, with detailed information about the home and area. The home is well stocked, clean and organized. Nicely renovated. Walking distance to parks, river and close to town and college. A comfortable stay for 2 teens, 2 adults and one small dog.
Nice, farther from city center than I had anticipated

Good Location to check out the OSU Campus & Enjoy Family Time
We greatly appreciated the personal shopper service! We arrived late in the evening, so having provisions in the refrigerator helped us start our first morning well. The washer and dryer were convenient. Very nice dinner at Castor- highly recommend. Mary was most helpful throughout the process!
This property was fantastic and very close to the project we are working on. There was plenty of space for the crew. The driveway parking and roadside parking handled all of our large work vehicles. The cleanliness and modern style home was perfect after a long day. This property also has a downstairs unit that can be rented, which we will definitely include on our next visit.

Clean and Noisey
This property is clean and cute. It is located on a highway; the road noise is loud inside the house. It is also located next to a large construction site, which is also a source of daytime noise. We stayed two nights. The second night, the apartment in the basement was rented to a group who arrived around 1:00 am and partied very loudly until around 4:00 am. The connecting stairway from the basement is not insulated, it sounded like the party was in our kitchen. Our space was also filled with the odor of marijuana and cigarette smoke. Overall, not a good night's sleep.
