About this property
Exceptional retreat near University of Oregon Athletics. Casa del Roots
Capture Eugene with a unique cozy experience situated in the heart of the University of Oregon Athletics and much of what natural habitat prevails in the valley.
Gracefully placed on a natural waterway with paddle boarding, canoeing, kayaking and Prefontaine trail runs, this 4 bedroom 2.5 bath home will accommodate in many ways to include morning coffee on the beach, seasonal evening swims in the pool, or relax from your hot tub view. There is much wildlife to keep you entertained as well.
You will have a short 10min walk to Autzen Stadium, PK Park, Pape field for football, soccer, lacrosse, and baseball. There is a nationally competitive BMX track nearby. The infamous Pre's trail gives you access to a series of runs and avenues to all university events and shopping right out of the neighborhood. There are 2 bikes for a spin downtown to the farmers market or to the infamous Hayward Field 15 min ride.
Sit on the sandy beach early morning and throughout your day with your coffee cheering on runners or embrace a fine refreshment as the sunsets over the water. We welcome you to our quite home and tranquil neighborhood sharing our daily experience in gratitude.

USA Track and Field Nationals at U of O Hayward Field
Perfect location and home for 4 days of Track Outdoor Nationals at U of O. Fun to watch all the runners on the Pre Trail right from the house. The pool was a great way to cool off each day. The house is spacious with a well stocked kitchen. Beds, linens, and towels were very comfortable.
Stunning home in awesome location. Everything was perfect and communication was easy. Walked to U of O football game with direct, easy, and close route. Biking trials right outside the door. We ll be back for sure!

Great relaxing location - lots of great outdoors activities just in the backyard! - swimming, kayaking, running, hiking or biking. A fun staycation and very comfortable place to stay. Everything in working order and very relaxing to sit and look out at the water or the runners. We loved our stay.

Thank you very much for your review. You are always welcome.
My best,
Shawn
Such a beautiful home with great vibes! There’s nothing better than enjoying Oregon summers on the river with family poolside! We had the best experience spending quality time together! It’s exactly what we needed! So much fun! Wonderful memories to last a lifetime! Thank you!
We had a very nice experience. The home is large, is in a beautiful setting, is very close to Autzen Stadium, and was furnished very well. Thank you for the great communications.
This is a beautiful home in a beautiful location along the Willamette Parkway with every amenity. The pool was fabulous, kayaking and wildlife amazing, and the host was wonderful. The home was very comfortable! We would definitely stay here again.

Shawn, home owner, was quick to communicate even in the weeks leading up to our stay. The pictures don't do the house and landscaping justice - it was beautiful!
All the aunties and nieces staying here were so grateful to be able to be together AND in such an incredible location.

We needed a place to gather with family who live in Eugene. This was the ideal place. The home is very welcoming and the outdoor options are amazing. There are kayaks, the pool, the hot tub, the fire pit, and areas to play games and sit and talk. Inside and out, this home is perfect for memories.

This property has a wonderful location in Eugene, and a very nice property owner. I went to the UofO, and never knew this neighborhood on the river even existed. It was wonderful to sit by the river every evening, and with a pool included. Great spot!

About the host
Hosted by Shawn Root
We are sharing our gratitude through the space we have grown in while living in Eugene our whole lives. We have been fortunate to have found our own vacation spot all year round at our home. While this is our primary family gathering residence, schooling, work travel, and volunteering is keeping us very busy. We would like to share our experience of balance and peace while you are in Eugene.
Why they chose this property
So many choices! Once you arrive and take in a morning or evening you will see our affliction with this particular spot. With so much very close in city life, athletics, cultural arts, and nearby wilderness, it is often surreal that we are in a local neighborhood in Eugene.
What makes this property unique
Yes! The water features and small wildlife which create a great calm you cannot escape. Having dock access to canoe, kayak, paddle boarding, fishing, and the pool for lounging then soaking from the hot tub in the evening, are all very unique. You will return to a place in a divine space after a day of working an Olympic track meet trial, children's Oregon graduation or move in, in town for business, or any number of family gatherings. Maybe just to relax and take in some PAC12 College sports. All in walking distnace
