What a great old house right across from the beautiful university. The owner met us when we arrived and oriented us to the house which was great! The house is full of antiques and her family history which we found fun. Beds were comfortable and the location was fantastic for walking into town and even across the university grounds to restaurants!

The house was just lovely! Leigh and her husband Dave were fabulous and super-responsive. They were glad to offer local recommendations. The whole house was perfectly appointed and nothing was lacking. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and outdoor area. The neighborhood was quiet and made for relaxing evenings outside.

Quaint, spacious home in an absolutely fantastic location, just one long block from the main strip in Newberg and literally next door to George Fox. The closed in back patio kept wind and sun away while making it so easy to forget that this is a corner lot. We spent every evening lounging out there. 10/10 would book again.

Very wonderful property! The house is so clean and you can tell is lovingly maintained. Beautiful inside and out. Also if you’re a parent of a George Fox student. You cannot get a much better location than right across the street! The hot tub was a fun bonus as well. We had an amazing time and hope to stay there again soon

This charming historic home had everything we hoped for and more. The location was ideal, and the décor especially the collection of antique clocks added so much personality.The sofa, beds, and furniture were all very comfortable, which made it easy to relax.

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.
