From the moment we arrived and were greeted by a charming LEGO display at the edge of the driveway, we knew we were home. We happened to arrive on July 4th, so the music drifting over from the park next door made the stay extra special. The house accommodated our large group of 11 with ease, and at every turn we were amazed by the history woven throughout — including a fun map on the wall with pins marking where past guests have traveled from. The front doorbell is a delightful little touch that had everyone smiling. We loved this place and the lovely town of Monmouth — would stay again in a heartbeat.

This large, beautiful historic house is conveniently located to several restaurants and an awesome trolly system. The house was beautiful and thoughtfully supplied with more than the usual amenities. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were artistically decorated. Very comfortable accommodations. Would definitely recommend this house especially for large gatherings.

Lovely historic home with lots of charm

Our family rented the entire house for a wedding nearby. The lovely historic house had all the space and amenities we needed to gather as a family and prepare for the wedding celebration. The live music at the bar nearby was a little loud but they shut the music down by 11:00pm so it was no problem, plus our hosts provided ear plugs if anyone wanted to turn in early. The outside patio is beautiful and we enjoyed our morning coffee out there. We really appreciated all the little extras like the fresh cut flowers all over the house. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Perfect for our annual girls' trip

We loved almost everything about this home, from the restoration work, to the keurig in every bedroom (so nice for lazy mornings) to the backyard oasis, it was amazing. This housed seven of us comfortably, and plenty of bathrooms to boot. The only thing that would have made it better is a little more counter space in the kitchen, but we made do. The house is one block off of the town's mainstreet and across the street from the park. It was a lovely location with access to all we wanted. Communication with the hosts was quick and easy and the house had all the needed amenities. Beds were comfortable... all in all, a most wonderful vacation home and we highly recommend.

Graduation weekend

The property greenery cannot be beaten! The grass, flowers and bushes were all so beautiful. The home has small rooms overall and is an old house so don't get surprised. You can hear everything from every room. This did not bother us. The house took my family back to the home we grew up in and that was the most perfect situation. Back yard area was wonderful. We had 4 cars due to everyone arriving at different times, plenty of room for parking. Local grocery stores and restaurants were all very nice and close too. The graduation was in Willamette and the drive to and from was easy and we did not have to deal with ANY graduation groups in Monmouth. It really did work out perfect.

Fabulous Historic Home!

We had a wonderful stay at MaMere's! It is an amazing historic three story home (built in the 1890's as a women's dorm). The charm and vintage style was beautiful. The host, Emily was so kind, , flexible, and accommodating. With the use of the Carriage House next door, it was a perfect place for our church leadership retreat!

Wonderful Wedding Weekend!

We rented the house for our family during our son's wedding. We LOVED the house! The themed rooms were beautiful and there was plenty of space for us to spread out. The Wolf's Den was perfect for my nephews! We also rented the carriage house and the bridal party had their hair and makeup done there. We enjoyed relaxing on the back patio and the location was perfect for getting to the wedding venue and also close enough to walk to get coffee and breakfast.

We rented this property for our son’s groomsmen and their wives. It was absolutely perfect.

Great place for wedding weekend!

This house was so adorable and comfortable! We stayed here with our families for our wedding weekend. Not only did it provide a convenient "home base" that was close to our wedding venue, but it provided a great atmosphere for the two families to get better acquainted. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out and be comfortable, and we had enough space to finish decorations and flowers. It was also really helpful to be able to cook our own meals. A super cute place that was a huge help during a wonderful weekend!

Just like the pictures

Mamere's Guest House is beautiful, just like the pictures. Our group of 9 was very comfortable with all the room and bed choices. There are so many more amenities than at other VRBOs - lots of small personal touches that make you know the house is well cared for and loved. We mostly gathered on the lovely patio for eating and card games. We walked to Crush and took up the entire bar for wine flights and dinner. (where folks are very nice!) We drove to Pacific City and climbed the dunes at Camp Kiwanda after enjoying a marionberry scone at the Grateful Bread Bakery. We hiked Silver Falls State Park, drank wine at J. Wrigley Vineyards and took in the gorgeous views from Mount Angel Abbey. And more! The weather was perfect! How wonderful it was to go back to our comfortable "home" in Monmouth after long days of exploring Oregon.
