Enjoy a library of Track Town books We provide official clear bags that meet the UO athletic events requirements. Can't find anything better than Hilltop Haven!
_____ LOCATION _____ This quiet forested hilltop haven townhouse is a great get-away and yet only 2.5 miles from the center of Eugene and a little over a mile from the UO Campus. Cool breezes and the shady tree canopy give it a vacation get-away feel from every room. Nearby restaurants and close access to all the UO athletic activities, downtown cultural events, and area wineries make this the perfect home-base for your vacation.
_____ LIVING SPACE _____ Completely renovated this 2 bedroom 1.5 bath 2-story home has a modern, eclectic feel and features plenty of comfortable seating whether in the living room, front deck, or back patio. Stretch out on our leather couch or in our comfy leather recliners with ottomans and cozy throws.

_____ SMOKING IS PROHIBITED INSIDE AND OUTSIDE _____ Fire danger is very real in this highly wooded old forest area! No outdoor grilling! No smoking of any kind, inside or out!
_____ GARDEN & DECKS __ ___ Take time to enjoy the native plants in our backyard garden including Bleeding Heart, Sword and Deer Fern, Red Flowering Current, Oregon Grape, Bunch Berry, Snowberry, Piggyback plants, a Star Magnolia tree, and many others. Be aware that being in the middle of a park can play havoc if you are prone to allergies! Be sure to come prepared if that describes you. If you forget, you will find a convenience packet of Claritin (or something similar) in the upstairs bathroom!
Because we are in the woods, there is no grassy yard area but if you walk to Hendricks Park just around the corner you will find swings, picnic tables, drinking fountain, public bathrooms and pathways winding throughout the woods, Native Plant and Rhododendron Gardens!
____ SECURITY CAMERAS ____ For your security we have video cameras monitoring each of our doors: front door, deck slider, backyard slider and driveway. For your privacy there are NO interior cameras of any kind.
____ PARKING ____ There is NO "on-street" parking for this unit. The tree-lined winding roads are part of the charm but parking in this hilly, forested neighborhood can be challenging. Many neighbors have carved out private parking areas in front of their houses. Unfortunately, because our home is on a steep corner we don’t have that. While we don’t have street parking for you, we do have a PRIVATE SINGLE ATTACHED GARAGE AND DRIVEWAY where you can park. The driveway is steep but we just put in stairs and handrails that have a gradual grade and are well-lit which make a huge difference.
____ WELCOME HOME ____ Come make yourself at home!
Have a question that comes up during your stay? Just give us a call! We are right in the neighborhood to here be sure you have everything you need for your stay!

We came to the Prefontaine Classic and the location could not be better! The host was great and had treats upon arrival, the place was very clean and it was less than a mile to campus. I would absolutely stay here again.

Hilltop Haven is in a great location both for convenience to special events at Hayward Field or Matt Arena (as well as other happenings and concerts at The Shedd, Cuthbert Ampitheatre and the Hult Center) but it still feels like a woodsy get-away! Best of both worlds! Glad it was the perfect place for you!
The location was perfect and accommodations were fantastic. This was a nice cozy house and had everything we needed to make it a wonderful stay. Lisa even left us some welcome snacks.

So glad you found our location great! It is convenient but still feels like a get-away!
Happy to have you back anytime!
We loved the hospitality of our host - food goodies at the house. Everything was as described and we were delighted we could park in the garage. It was also wonderful being steps from the park. Great communications as well.

Thanks for mentioning the garage parking!!! I'm always surprised that so many places don't have secure parking for guests. Glad we could provide that for you and our other guests.
Just a really nice well appointed for our small family. Lots of nice snacks, plenty of linens washer and dryer work great and so close to beautiful Hendricks park. Thanks Lisa!
My wife and I came to Eugene for the weekend. The property was extremely clean and the photos in the listing were accurate. It’s a little tricky finding it the first time, but Lisa’s directions were perfect.
If we go back to Eugene, we’ll definitely stay here again.

Being located in the wooded hills above Autzen Stadium and Eugene does give our townhouse an out-of-the-way feel! Glad our directions made finding us not a problem!
Thanks for your 5-Star review Brandon!
We feel so fortunate to have found this place on short notice for Thanksgiving week. It’s in a quiet location next to Hendricks park and was perfect for our needs. Lisa is an amazing host, and everything is labeled and well organized. This is really the gold standard for VRBO rentals. Thank you, Lisa, for a great stay in Eugene!
Hilltop Haven was everything we hoped it would be. Clean, great neighborhood and close to Hayward Field. Lisa thought of everything. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.
This place was great. Lisa gave it the little extra personal touch which made us feel so welcome. This was a perfect place for 4 people. Great location and beautifully surrounded by trees.
Nice to go for a walk in the woods right behind the house and super close to campus.
We loved it and would definitely come again.
Our stay at Hilltop haven was wonderful. Lisa was so welcoming, thoughtful, and accommodating. It is a beautiful home in a great neighborhood near the university and Hendrix park. Tina and Ray

So glad you had a good time and liked our location!
This property was one of the best vacation rentals we have ever stayed in. The owner goes above and beyond to make sure your stay is amazing. The “extras” she provides are like no other. The property is beautiful and very clean. It has everything you need. The location is perfect….. steps away from Hendricks Park which is stunning. If you are planning a trip to Eugene I highly recommend this property.

Hi Rob,
We will look forward to having you back! Glad you had a chance to explore Hendricks Park and some of the many trails. It is a magical place!
Lisa
In many ways, our experience at this property confirms why we always seek out VRBO properties over hotels. What an excellent stay! This townhome is located in a beautiful area--be sure to enjoy the nearby park which is extraordinary. The property manager was excellent to work with, and there were so many personal touches that enhanced our stay. We loved the "zen garden" backyard for morning coffee and the well appointed kitchen. A great stay! 5-stars!

VRBO properties - and guests - are just a step above others, aren't they! Glad you appreciated the extra attention to details and anticipation of everything a guest could want, especially in the kitchen!
Happy to have you back for another Track and Field event!

About the host
Hosted by Lisa Kaye
Lisa Kaye here, the owner, manager, designer and resident artist photographer. Welcome! Three of us moved to Oregon about 25 years ago from the Southern California area so that my dog, a little Mini-Aussie, could have sheep to practice for my hobby of competitive sheep herding trials and that so all of us could have a little more rustic lifestyle. We decided to go in together and bought 5 acres about a half hour outside of Eugene with a menagerie of critters.
Why they chose this property
About five years ago we started looking for a multi-family property as an investment so that we had an option for moving off the farm when we retired. The other side of this townhouse is going to be our retirement space.
What makes this property unique
We've made sure you have everything you need to feel at home. Privacy. Full kitchen. Relaxing space. Comfortable beds. Convenient working space. Top-notch internet. And an outdoors that is magical.
Just a stone's throw from everything on the UO Campus and downtown, this hilltop haven feels like it is a world away nestled in the forest -- a perfect home-base for your visit to Eugene.
