Very cozy house and clean. Beautiful surroundings with Hendricks park literally a few hops down from front door path. Deer roam the area. Host provided a Christmas gift basket on Christmas Eve, which was a nice surprise to end our evening. Would definitely recommend this house to friends and family visiting Eugene.

We had a wonderful stay! Enjoyed some close spots to eat and convenient to campus but out of the college feel. Our family of 4 (all adults) had enough room to move around and the property was well stocked with everything we needed.

We stayed 3 nights and wish we could have stayed longer. Such a wonderful place to stay! Every room was super clean, and the home had everything we needed and more. We didn't have a chance to use the kitchen, but it's stocked with everything you could think of to make any meal. Highly recommend this lovely place to stay in Eugene!

Perfect for a weekend stay. Very happy colorful decor and cozy bedrooms. There are quite a few steps if mobility is an issue but it was a great place for us to have as a home base in Eugene.

We had a great time. Parking was easy and close. The house was very clean and the kitchen is stocked very well. The only thing is stairs, if you have trouble with stairs you need to be aware there are stairs getting into the house.

Very Clean

The Little Pink House was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we booked, the owners were incredibly communicative, which made the entire stay so easy and stress-free. The property itself was spotless – truly one of the cleanest rentals I've ever stayed in. It's clear the owners take great pride in their home. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable, clean, and well-managed stay near the UO.

About the host

Hosted by Lara Rear Schaefer

Host profile image
In 2005 I took a beautiful trip to Italy. I stayed in my first vacation rental in Rome and I loved everything about it! The next year we went to Greece and stayed in vacation rentals the entire trip~ again it was a wonderful experience. In 2008 after a trip to Germany I came home and decided to turn our newly built Little Pink House into a vacation rental by owner. Since June 6th 2008 I have been welcoming world travelers, U of O visiting professors and parents of University of Oregon students. Some guests come and go and some become friends for life...it's always been a joy!
Since opening the Little Pink House I have stayed in vacation rental properties in 30 countries and I have added five other vacation rental properties to my list of beautiful places in Oregon to visit.

Why they chose this property

Why our property? That is a great question given the inventory in Eugene. When I first opened my doors as a vacation rental we were the 5th property! Now there are hundreds. If you are looking for a clean little house in a beautiful location with a fantastic price tag and owners who love to travel and also love hosting then take a look at the Little Pink House! We love our return guests and hope to soon be 100% word of mouth!

What makes this property unique

To be so close to the University of Oregon but to also be away from it all...
