Hello! We are Rachel Sherwood & Patrick Tristan. Rachel is the owner coordinating all of the reservations, communications, accommodations & Fluff & Buffing. Patrick Is the Chief & Master of EVERYTHING!
We warmly welcome you to come and stay at the charming & special Victorian Secrets and experience our wonderful town. We are both tenured Newberg residents. Rachel only knows the Northwest as "home". Patrick has spent his life in the local Newberg neighborhoods. We both consider Yamhill County as THE BEST PLACE ON EARTH. Our own residences are far enough away to allow your independent sanctuary experience, but close enough for us to easily offer local advice, guidance or any needed/desired concierge service. When you are in our home, you are "HOME".
Why they chose this property
On an unusual free Saturday in 2018 with no calendar commitments, Rachel randomly happened across this regal Victorian residence in hometown, Newberg. Always a fan of Victorian architecture, she was immediately hooked to make it a welcoming haven for guests to come and enjoy our community and vast surrounding attractions. There is so much to do within walking distances to downtown, drives to the wine country, connections to several neighboring Universities and easy access to the hustle-bustle of Portland Big City life. The adored historic design took a year of hard work. Here is where Patrick entered the scene. The result: Victorian Secrets features an eclectic & mixture of modern vibe that honors the old with a new appeal. You're gonna love this place as much as we do!
What makes this property unique
You won't be disappointed. Unique designs and open spaces throughout. Guests commonly comment on all there is to discover & wonder in the unique touches within the home. The yard is park-like! The putting green is special. The outside covered patio complete with comfy seating, fan, heaters, & BBQ is the house favorite space....no contest! The neighborhood is peaceful & welcoming. Walking convenience to shopping, dining, coffee shops, and Newberg downtown wine tasting rooms makes an easy option for independence in a group getaway. Come stay and satisfy your curious nature!
