About this property

Garden Cottage on College Hill

This is a clean, quiet, sunny, sweet, little cottage tucked into a quiet alley in the Friendly Area Neighborhood on College Hill, only a mile from downtown and the University of Oregon. If you like walking, it's easy to get most places on foot, yet it is privately situated behind another property we own and accessible via a quiet alley. Parking is private, off-street and very close.

In the summer, there is an air conditioner to keep the temperature comfortable. In the winter you can sit in front of the gas fireplace and watch movies curled up under one of the throws. There is a love seat, an armchair and a rocking chair to relax in.

The living room, kitchen and dining area have an open floor plan. There are doors to the bedroom and bathroom. Our remodeled vintage cottage features the original exposed brick chimney and fir floors from the 1940s, which give it a nice warm glow. It is full of windows and skylights. There are updated tile floors in the kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen has a gas stove to cook on and is stocked with quality pots and pans and a Keurig coffee maker with coffee provided. There are fresh herbs growing just outside the front door for you to snip! There is a 27" smart TV and high speed internet with which you can enjoy TV shows and movies through your Netflix, Hulu or other entertainment accounts. There is also an HDMI cable so you can connect your device directly to the TV.

Just outside the windows of the main living area there is a little brick patio, garden beds and a rose arbor. It is a lovely place in the warmer months to enjoy a cup of coffee and a good book, sip a glass of wine with a friend or enjoy a full meal. The maple tree gives you nice shade in the summer and beautiful foliage in the fall.

Our downtown is bustling with casual to upscale cafes, restaurants, brew pubs unique food booths, shops and theaters. I am happy to offer suggestions if you let me know what you're looking for!

I live next door so I am readily available to respond to any issues that arise. I enjoy meeting new people and sharing insider information about our lovely town if it is desired, but level of interaction is totally up each guest. The cottage has a keyless entry and is set up for self check-in.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Sherlock

Host profile image
I am from Colorado but I've been living in Oregon for over 20 years. I like hiking, backpacking, rafting, Jungian psychology, talking about things that matter, cooking, eating, chocolate, my children, family, friends, dog.

Why they chose this property

I live next door to the cottage on the property adjacent to it. I bought the property with the cottage on it about 20 years ago with the help of my children's grandmother so she could have a place of her own to stay when she came to visit her two grandchildren. It worked perfectly! When the children were old enough, they could go through the gate in the back yard and toddle right up to Grandma's for a story or some cookies. They are in high school and college now, but Grandma still comes to visit regularly.

What makes this property unique

College Hill (so named because it was the location of the first college in Eugene) which is in the Friendly neighborhood is the perfect place to live in Eugene. It is a safe, and yes, friendly, neighborhood. It far enough from the University that it is quiet, but close enough to reap the cultural and intellectual benefits the University brings to Eugene. It is in biking and walking distance of just about everything in Eugene.
