About this property

Historic 1910 Bungalow • Carriage House • 1 Block to Wine & Dine • Pet Friendly

Step into this beautifully restored 1910 historic bungalow with a charming carriage house, nestled in one of McMinnville’s most desirable neighborhoods—just one block from premier wine tasting, chef-driven restaurants, boutique shops, and year-round festivals. This walkable Wine Country retreat blends original character with modern comfort in all the right ways.

Inside, you’ll find original hardwood floors, wood built-ins, high ceilings, and bright, airy spaces that showcase the home’s turn-of-the-century charm. The remodeled kitchen is fully equipped and stocked with all the cooking essentials you'll need to prepare your gourmet meals or grill. Central heating and cooling, along with an electric fireplace set in its original stone hearth, provide year-round comfort and ambiance.

The thoughtful layout provides privacy for every guest. On one side of the home, the primary bedroom offers a comfortable king bed with crisp linens and a small full ensuite bath. On the opposite side, the second spacious bedroom features a plush queen bed with the hallway full bath conveniently located next to it—ideal for couples, friends, or families.

The carriage house expands your living and dining options when you roll open the original roll door, which opens the space to the fully fenced yard, creating a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor living. Twinkle lights, rustic finishes, and a cozy indoor dining area create the perfect setting for year-round, relaxed meals. Just outside the carriage house, you’ll find the outdoor grill, conveniently positioned for easy access while still enjoying the character of the space.

Outdoors, enjoy inviting lounge chairs, seating areas, soft lighting, and the privacy of the fenced yard—perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. This home is dog-friendly, making it easy to bring your four-legged companion.

Located steps from downtown McMinnville and minutes from Wine Country’s most charming small towns, you’ll be ideally situated to explore the countryside, Carlton, Dundee, Dayton, Newberg, and even take a day trip to the Oregon Coast. Traveling with a larger group?

Check out the Wine Country Farmhouse and 1939 Vintage House, located just blocks away.

Adorable restored historic house right in downtown, so easy to walk everywhere: farmer's market, coffee, wine tasting, shopping and more! The neighborhood is also filled with lots of historic homes, really charming. The converted garage was really cute and a nice place to sit while having dinner, our dog loved the fenced in yard too.

This was our 2nd time staying at Cowl's Bungalow. My husband and I traveled with my Dad this time. We love the large covered porch and that we can easily walk 2 blocks to the main street with shops, grocery and restaurants. The kitchen is well stocked with nice quality pans and fresh olive oil. Coffee beans/grinder are provided. We especially appreciated the AC given we were there on a 100 degree weekend. Would return again!

About the host

Hosted by Wine Country Properties

Host profile image
She had the Wine Country Farmhouse, and he had the Walter Link House, which is how Anita and Larry met. Well.... it was at the UFO Festival, but that's another story. The result was another vacation rental, and now another one along the way. Both are natives who grew up surrounded by the wine industry. As a kid, Anita picked grapes during harvest on one of the first vineyards in Dundee. Larry was raised on a farm in what is now the McMinnville AVA. Like Salmon, they returned after exploring the world to pursue their passion in their hometown: preserving historic properties and sharing Oregon Wine Country with the world. By joining forces - Anita's background in real estate and Larry's in construction, they have created a solid team in the growing family of Wine Country Properties.

Why they chose this property

Nestled in a charming neighborhood of historic homes, stroll two blocks to McMinnville's Famous Third Street ~ the mecca of Oregon Wine Country. Visit tasting rooms, dine in award-winning restaurants, and savor the moments sifting through local shops. Relax in a luxury 1910 craftsman home, recently restored to its turn-of-the-century charm with modern conveniences. Enjoy the peaceful setting on the front porch or BBQ in the back while dining in the Carriage House under the twinkle lights.

What makes this property unique

Excellent location, fully restored Craftsman Bungalow with outdoor dining in the Carriage House.
