We have stayed in VRBOs all over the world and we have rarely found one as comfortable as Leigh’s house. She gave us a quick orientation whenever we arrived and the house was just charming. A well supplied kitchen, extra pillows if needed and a great location. We definitely want to come back!

Lovely home, great location.

I'd be happy to stay here again. Loved the beautiful furnishings, very comfortable and the bonus of a spa made our ladies get away extra special. Close to town, but away from noisy streets. The University just across the street provides numerous walking paths through some beautiful landscape.

Gals’ Getaway

Beautiful 3-bedroom house was perfect for old friends who enjoyed walking to cafes, wine-tasting, watching a movie. Check-in and out were super easy. Hot tub was a bonus. Plus stars on a bedroom ceiling. So close to Portland but feels miles away for relaxing and refreshing.

We were very pleased with University House. The house was immaculate and well-decorated with family treasures. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location is perfect for trips to wineries or day trips to the coast, Portland, or hiking. Leigh is a very attentive host and I would give her 10 stars if I could!

About the host

Hosted by Leigh Wellikoff

Host profile image
I have always loved the historic buildings and close knit neighborhoods in this northern part of Newberg. Many years ago, I was delighted to jump at the opportunity when I saw a realtor installing a 'For Sale' sign on the property that would become U House. I've restored four houses in this part of town, nurturing them from various states of disrepair into beautiful homes. My love of antiques shows throughout the house, as many of the furnishings are family heirlooms. In my forty years of living in the Willamette Valley, I continue to be amazed at the astonishing variety available here. Downtown Newberg is full of character with an intimate, easy-going atmosphere. The mid-valley area is so spectacular in its geography, recreational choices, abundant wildlife, agricultural diversity and artistic community, yet also close to town and city environments. I enjoy being able to go from valley to mountain to desert in a few hours to the East, or West through the Coast Range to some of the most stunning coastline to be found anywhere. Allow us to introduce you to this unique part of the world, or assist you in deepening your own appreciation of what our area has to offer. Welcome to the U House...your home away from home while visiting Yamhill County.

Why they chose this property

This turn of the century home caught my eye years before it became available, and I was thrilled to be able to turn the house into a comfortable haven for travellers to enjoy. This is a beautiful historic area with a friendly neighborhood network, quiet yet close to a wide array of dining and activities in premiere wine country.

What makes this property unique

The wine country mural in the hot tub patio draws your stress out and away with every warm bubbly moment. Family antiques lend a sense of belonging and connection to your stay. Enjoy the flames in the fireplace while placing your cares aside for a time. You need only ask and we will provide full concierge service to recommend dining and sightseeing options as well as make those reservations for you. We truly want you to feel at home here.
