About this property

Dog-Friendly Wine Country Stay w/ Firepit & AC

Escape to the heart of Oregon Wine Country with a stay at Blue Bird Cottage, a charming two-bedroom retreat just one block from Carlton's tasting rooms and two blocks from Main Street. With its perfect mix of walkability, comfort, and thoughtful amenities, this cozy getaway is the ideal home base for sipping, strolling, and unwinding in one of the most beloved small towns in the Willamette Valley.

Step inside to find a light-filled living space designed for connection and relaxation. The open layout includes a spacious living room, a welcoming dining area, and a fully stocked kitchen with everything needed to prepare and serve meals in style. Whether you are creating a simple breakfast with fresh local ingredients or enjoying a takeout wine and cheese night from one of Carlton's nearby shops, the space invites you to slow down and savor each moment.

Both bedrooms feature plush queen beds, soft linens, and soothing tones that encourage restful sleep. The updated bathroom is bright, clean, and functional, making it comfortable for couples or small groups traveling together.

Outside, the fully fenced backyard is one of the home's true highlights. This private outdoor retreat offers high-end Polywood lounge furniture and a propane fire table, creating the perfect spot for evening conversations beneath the stars. Sip your latest wine tasting discovery, enjoy a peaceful morning coffee, or let your pup explore the yard while you relax in the fresh valley air.

Blue Bird Cottage is dog-friendly, welcoming your well-behaved four-legged companion to join in the wine country fun. With walkable streets and a welcoming local community, Carlton is as friendly to furry friends as it is to wine lovers.

The cottage includes air conditioning and heating for year-round comfort, fast Starlink internet, a smart TV for streaming your favorite shows, and a washer and dryer for longer stays. On street parking and a quiet, walkable neighborhood make this location as convenient as it is charming.

Nestled in a peaceful corner of downtown Carlton, Bluebird Cottage offers the perfect balance of small-town charm and wine country sophistication. Step outside your door and you're just a short walk from local favorites like Carlton Bakery for your morning espresso, The Horse Radish for live music and artisan fare, and Park & Main or Cuvée for dinner and fine wine.

Spend the afternoon exploring Carlton's many tasting rooms, including Ken Wright Cellars, Cana's Feast, and the Carlton Winemakers Studio, where you can sample wines from a dozen boutique producers all under one roof. A short drive brings you to the rolling hills and renowned vineyards of Soter, Lemelson, and Gran Moraine, each offering unforgettable tasting experiences and stunning countryside views.

For a more curated adventure, let Pinot Car Wine Tours design a private itinerary through Oregon's world-class wineries, tailored to your interests and pace.

From this ideal location, you can also venture beyond the valley, discover the dramatic beauty of the Columbia River Gorge, stroll the beaches of the Oregon Coast, or spend a day exploring Portland's vibrant dining and cultural scene, all within easy reach of your peaceful retreat at Bluebird Cottage.

We loved this sweet property. Very comfortable, linens were excellent and kitchen well equipped with a nice outdoor set of couches/chairs for afternoon chillaxing (and in the shade!). We will absolutely repeat staying here both for comfort and access to the fantastic restaurants and small town Carlton scene, including all being very dog friendly. So grateful this rental is now available!

We loved the cottage. The home was very comfortable, and the welcome kit and card for the pup were great. The location was awesome, and we walked into town on multiple occasions. Also, great water pressure in the shower was a major positive! Loved the local soap.There were a few things we wanted to share as feedback to help improve the stay for future guests:1. The pillows in the bedrooms were inconsistent. My wife and I stayed in the bedroom closest to the main living area and didn't find those pillows comfortable at all. They were very firm and thick, and we struggled to get a good night's sleep. However, the pillows in the other bedroom were much more comfortable, so we swapped pillows after the second couple left, and it was much better during the second night. Softer pillows for the win!2. The garbage drawer in the kitchen doesn't stay closed once the bin begins to fill up. Once it gets heavier, it will not stay closed and will open up on its own. Not a big deal, but we had to keep an eye on the dog to make sure he didn't get into the trash.3. The A/C unit kept the house very cool, but the cold air did not make its way into the bedrooms, and they were very warm, even with the ceiling fans running. The windows in the bedrooms didn't stay open on their own, so it just made the bedrooms a bit uncomfortable throughout the night.
