The moment you walk into this beautiful, cozy home, you can feel the warmth and intention from the hosts. All the little touches - from make up wipes (which I forgot and this saved me!) and disposable toothbrushes provided to the art supplies and homemade cookies and coffee cake. We felt right at home! Beds were incredibly comfortable and it was lovely sitting on the porch and taking in the beautiful garden. Hosts were responsive and friendly. We felt safe and welcomed here! Thank you for an amazing stay!

We had a wonderful time staying here. It was peaceful and relaxing. Karen was so wonderful. We were surprised and greatly appreciated the homemade coffee cake and eggs available from her “ladies”. Wish we had more trips to Corvallis now that we found a great place to stay!

Charming cabin that was warm, despite the 3 nights of freezing temperatures Corvallis had while I was there. The little artist house was private and cozy, with awesome views of the beautifully landscaped yard and natural areas. The place is on my top 5 list of VRBO lodgings.

We also had fresh eggs from their chickens and yogurt and other things in the fridge.The space was perfect for my daughter and me. We felt very safe and comfortable. We'd stay here again for sure.

Absolutely fabulous cozy cottage tucked away in a beautiful neighborhood, lots of amazing fall colors surrounding. My daughter and I particularly loved having access to the kitchen. Additionally, Karen and Bob shared fresh eggs “from their girls”, and prepared a freshly baked cinnamon loaf and yummy chocolate chip cookies to greet us upon check-in! I highly recommend a stay here - close to downtown Corvallis and OSU!

Corvallis cottage

The cottage was perfect place for our visit to Corvallis. It was very comfortable with just enough space. The location made it easy to get to town and anywhere we wanted to go. We definitely found the cottage warm and inviting, lovely and relaxing setting with delicious treats from the host! We enjoyed our short stay but have made note of this cottage for any returns to the area.

Cozy home away from home

My mom and I came out to visit OSU and this was the perfect place to stay! The host was incredible, so friendly and attentive. She made us homemade bread and cookies upon our arrival! So thoughtful. The property was gorgeous, the rooms were so comfortable and inviting. Would 1000% stay again!!! Highly recommend. Thank you Karen!

The BEST place I have ever stayed hands down! Karen and Bob have created an environment that allows for an experience over just a place to stay. All the little thoughtful details make their home extra special. I won’t share them so you can be as pleasantly surprised as we were. It’s so homey, cozy and welcoming. My husband asked if we could stay there every time we visit. Stop looking and just stay here. You are going to LOVE it!!!
The Zinnias were over 5’!
My husband is 6’2”. The sunflowers were 12’ tall!
So beautiful!!!
