About this property

Carlton Gates - Willamette Valley Luxury Vacation Rental

Step into an Oasis of style, comfort and privacy in the heart of this most charming wine country.

Perhaps the most ideal location in the Willamette Valley for couples, families and friends visiting Wine Country. Inspired by award winning designer Kim Morris of Morris Design, Inc., Carlton Gates is unlike any accommodation in the area.
Not remotely situated, Carlton Gates is in the middle of everything yet secluded from everyone. Within walking (or biking!) distance of charming downtown Carlton's many Tasting Rooms and new Swimming Pool while still centrally located to area Wineries and Scenic Vineyards.

Featuring a spacious kitchen with large island and gas fireplace for guests to gather round that opens to the Great Room where good company continues among friends. Have an elegant dinner together in the dining room with built in buffet and then move outdoors to enjoy two patio areas each with their own firepit. Feeling contemplative?....take a stroll around the back courtyard or enjoy a bottle of wine in the corner Adirondack Settee under a Blue Spruce.

If your group wants to enjoy a movie in the theater, it will feel like their own private screening with a 70 inch screen and surround sound. When it's time for bed, you can go your separate ways into two Master Suites, Guest Bedroom and Second Guest Bedroom. Two additional guests are accommodated on a comfy pullout sofa sleeper in the theater. The Two Master Suites and First Guest Bedroom each have their own outside private sitting area with bistro table and chairs.

Gorgeous!
Stayed here with extended family during our son’s wedding weekend @ Ghost Hill Cellars. The house is gorgeous and accurately described in the listing. Perfect location for easy access to Main St. in Carlton (walking distance). Melissa was very pleasant to coordinate with and was quick to respond to all our requests prior to the weekend. We could not have asked for more. Highly recommend!

Beautiful Property
The property is gorgeous and was super-clean when we arrived. The Dining & Living rooms are very large, if dimly lit, & the couch in the Living Room is really comfy. The foosball corner is a bit cramped. The Master by the garage is large & has its own thermostat, and the Dining Room has a separate wall heater; the rest of the house is on the central heat/air unit. The Master beside the driveway is HUGE! The bedroom across the hall is small and has just a small closet, while the "front" bedroom has a closet & a built-in dresser, so more storage than the other one. The kitchen has lots of plates & bowls, as well as spices that others have left behind (check before you go shopping). Food prep utensils (measuring cups & spoons, for example) were hit-and-miss - though there were three pizza cutters! The electric Jenn-Air oven & cooktop gave us some trouble (it took a long time for the water to boil on the triple-burner, and an instruction manual for the oven would have been a great help), as did the stainless steel pans (which my son uses at his home, but these seemed to stick a lot). You should probably know that your pet can't roam free (no fence on 2 sides of the yard), the Theater Room can't be darkened (it's open to other rooms), and, as of July 27 (when we left), there were zero Blu-ray or DVD players, so we couldn't play the videos we brought, which was quite disappointing; nor was there a video or music library. Overall a great place, just not quite as listed.

Great House For Large Group
We love this house! The space is perfect for large groups. The kitchen is the natural gathering space, as is the living room. The gas fireplace is perfect. Each room offers private space when needed. The location is great. I can’t say enough about the house.

Carlton in July
Carlton Gates is a wonderful home. Our family had plenty of space to be together and privacy if wanted. Plenty of room in kitchen for cooking together and bbq outside. Carlton downtown is a short walk for dining, wine tasting, shopping. We have already booked for next year!

Peaceful and stunning
Everyone that stayed with us agreed that this house was perfect for a large group of family. The bedrooms were amazing, many with their own outside spaces and bathrooms. The open areas were great for many small gatherings. The outdoor space was private and gorgeous. When you drive up to the house it can be misleading as it does not look as large as it is, but once inside you are in a private escape. Also easy to walk to downtown. The host even let me drop off a cake early so it wouldn’t sit in the car during our daughter’s college graduation.

Short Visit to Oregon
The house was spacious, ideally located and extremely clean. The yard had numerous places to sit and enjoy the peaceful mornings and evenings. We spent 3 days at the house from which we took trips to the beach, waterfalls and numerous wineries. If we decide to visit this area again, we would hope to be able to obtain the same listing.

What a Beautiful Place and Outstanding Host!
We rented this place because our Son was married out at Reber's Riverside (in Yamhill), and needed a place for family coming in from out of town. And since we live in Gresham, we did not want to be traveling 2 hours back and forth all weekend. The home was EXACTLY as advertised, and I wish we would have been able to actually enjoy it more than we did. Unfortunately, we really needed it as a place to lay our heads at night and get a good night's sleep, which we did! The beds were comfortable, and the three (3) bathrooms were such a blessing. And OMG!!!! Those showers were amazing.....I just wish I could have used the bathtub in the master :0) It would have been heavenly after the long days. Regarding the management.......the best! They were always so accommodating and responsive to my emails and questions. We highly recommend this venue if you find yourself in the area.......Thank you from the Oswalt Families!

Wedding fun!!
This house is perfect for a large family or group of friends. The two masters are large enough to add an air mattress and the three large bathrooms made it easy for us all get ready at the same time. The living space was open and the kitchen was well equipped for a large group. The outdoor space was perfect for kids soccer while the adults visited on the patio. And the bottle of wine added a very special welcome touch!! We would highly recommend this house and the owner as they were very responsive to all my questions and requests!!

Wonderful in Wine Country
This home was a perfect spot to gather our large group of siblings, celebrating a momentous birthday. The house is spacious with great opportunities to gather or have solo time as needed. A quick walk to downtown Carlton for dinner and access to wineries nearby. Clean and carefully put together, this is a gem.

Perfect House
I stayed here with 3 girlfriends for a fun wine tasting weekend. The house was fantastic. Plenty of room, big yard, bikes, walking distance to town, etc. We had a chef come one night and make dinner and the kitchen had everything she needed. Tons of space in the house with large rooms. No issues at all. We would stay here again!
