About the host

Hosted by Chalet Gris

Host profile image

We are long-time McMinnville residents -- in fact, a local street is named for the mother of one of us. Our interests include beer-making, gardening and cooking. We are fans of The Linfield Wildcats, Trail Blazers and Oregon State Beavers. As we remodeled the house, we focused on comfort and functionality -- they're important to us and we think our guests will find that they can kick back and relax in this perfect "home away from home" in a friendly neighborhood.

Why they chose this property

Anyone who loves domestic tranquility will immediately see what drew us to this property. Not only is it spacious enough to accommodate three couples, it has a lovely patio and garden area to bask in the mild Yamhill Valley weather (which contributes to the wonderful Yamhill Valley wines!). The opportunity to create a quiet family/reading room that can be closed off from any bustle in the main part of the house was also something that attracted us. We think of this room as the Sanctuary, and purposefully left the TV out of it! McMinnville is an inviting town, and strolling the main streets (less than a mile from the house), dropping into wine tasting rooms or bookstores (or a knitter's paradise at a yarn shop) is a favorite activity for members of our extended family.

What makes this property unique

When you make Chalet Gris your base of operations, you'll be able to enjoy its proximity to a variety of attractions. When you're home, the indoor/outdoor convenience of food preparation and eating is enhanced by the sliding glass door from the kitchen to the covered deck and patio, allowing the smooth flow of traffic from stove to plate. After a day of exploring or wine tasting, guests can have time to themselves in the peaceful garden, the comfortable living area, or the quiet Sanctuary. Inquire about possible 1 night stays when needed.
