Ruth's Cottage: Cozy Farmhouse in Downtown Carlton
Welcome to Ruth's Cottage, a charming retreat in the heart of Carlton, Oregon. This delightful home blends the comfort and charm of a vintage cottage with the thoughtful touches of a luxury hotel, all set in one of the most walkable and inviting small towns in Oregon Wine Country.
Step inside and enjoy a stay that perfectly balances old-fashioned charm with modern comfort. Start your morning in the remodeled, fully stocked kitchen, where you can brew your favorite coffee and prepare a leisurely breakfast. The open living space features hardwood floors, a personal piano, and a record player that invites you to slow down and unwind.
In the evenings, head out to the private back patio for a summer barbecue or craft cocktails under the stars. For moments of quiet relaxation, soak in the elegant claw-foot tub, then retreat to your cozy bed adorned with luxurious linens. Every corner of Ruth's Cottage has been designed with care to make you feel at home while celebrating the history and warmth of Oregon Wine Country.
The primary bedroom features a beautiful vintage four-poster queen bed and a private ensuite bathroom. A separate TV lounge room includes a Roku streaming device and a convenient half bathroom. A double sofa sleeper is also available, ideal for children or one adult. When booked for four guests, the sofa bed is made up prior to arrival, and additional towels and amenities are provided. A washer and dryer are available for guest use, making longer stays convenient and comfortable.
Ruth's Cottage welcomes up to two small dogs to join you on your stay. The private backyard offers a lovely setting to relax, dine, or play on warm Oregon evenings.
The home is within walking distance of the town's beloved tasting rooms, restaurants, and shops. Enjoy local pours at Ken Wright Cellars, Pike Road Wines, and Scott Paul Wines, then grab a bite at The Horse Radish or Park & Main Café. Stroll along Carlton's charming Main Street, where boutique tasting rooms and artisan shops capture the best of small-town wine country living. With Dundee, Newberg, and McMinnville just a short drive away, Ruth's Cottage offers the perfect blend of convenience, comfort, and Oregon wine country charm.
