Thank you for your review. So happy to hear the house worked for your group. We would love to host you again.
We loved staying in this gorgeous house. It was beautiful and private. The house was clean and well stocked. The views are amazing in the day time and at night. There giant trees in the back of the house and deer outside our windows. The house has lots of space and is set up for comfort. It is located close to everything. Also the host was wonderful! We will definitely stay here again! 10/10 !

Thank you Julia for taking the time to write a fabulous review. So happy that the house, deer and view helped you and your family during a difficult time. You are welcome back again.
My family had a great stay at this beautiful property close to campus in Eugene. The views were lovely and the hosts were friendly. We would stay here again.
We had a wonderful stay at this property! The pictures really didn’t do the house justice—it was even more spacious, comfortable, and welcoming in person. The views were beautiful, and we appreciated the thoughtful snacks waiting for us after a long day of travel. The pull-out sofa in the den worked perfectly for the kids, and they loved having their own space to relax. Kathy was a great host with clear, friendly communication throughout our stay. Overall, a great place to stay and one we’d happily return to!

Wonderful House in a Great Neighborhood!
This is a great house with a great, open floorplan. The directions were easy and all the information was provided ahead of time. The house and property were clean and the location was very convenient.
What a beautiful home in a nice quiet area with a killer view. The home was spacious and comfortable with everything we needed. Kathy made sure the stay was perfect and it was. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Eugene!

Merry Christmas
This place was really nice and the hosts were very responsive. The location is great and it is located very close to the University of Oregon, easy walk to campus. The view from the house is also nice and it is cool to see the stadium from the deck. The place is very clean and well stocked, we had everything we needed. The hosts were great and provided us a lot of good information and detail prior to our trip. Definitely recommend this house if you are planning to stay in Eugene.

Very well located east campus house in great neighborhood accessible to anything near the University. We’re big walkers so being so close to our favorite parks and neighborhoods was a real plus. Views of Hayward Field and Autzen Stadium from the deck were great. Definitely will return here our next trip to Eugene. Host Kathy was very responsive to questions and requests.

So sorry for my very late response. Time has gotten away from me. Thank you so much for thoughtful review. You and your family are welcome back anytime.
Merry Christmas,
Jon and Kathy
We really enjoyed our stay in this property. The views were amazing! We felt like we were nestled in the trees, it was very private. We loved seeing the deer around the home. The house accommodated our every need. It was spacious, clean and well stocked with towels and the kitchen was probably the best stocked kitchen we’ve seen in a vacation home. House had plenty of beds and bathrooms. We were within walking distance of Hayward Field (the purpose of our stay was for a track meet). We were also within walking distance of a cute little area that had a few quaint restaurants, a pastry shop and a yummy ice cream shop. If we are ever in Eugene again, we would definitely stay here!
The home is gorgeous. The pictures truly do not do it justice. The listening states there is a hot tub but there isn’t a hot tub. Which was highly disappointing. The listening also doesn’t state that the property actually has two residents on it. The main house (we rented) and an auxiliary unit that was also rented at the same time. It was fine but not known ahead.

Thank you for your comments, again sorry about there not being a hot tub. I have since changed the notices to let people know that there might be quests in the apartment of the garage. I will honor a 10% if you book with us again.
Thank you,
Kathy
Kathy and Jon were wonderful hosts. The house was clean, spacious and a perfect location for our daughter’s graduation from the UO. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and would highly recommend this house to anyone coming into Eugene! We will be back to stay again!
We had a wonderful stay at this property! They had everything we needed and more, including food storage containers for leftovers which most places almost never have. The location is great--very close to campus but still very quiet. We even had a deer come into the backyard! My family and I stayed at this property during the record setting heatwave in Eugene and the A/C kept the entire house wonderfully cool. Communication with the owners was also fast and friendly. We would definitely stay here again!

Thank you so much it was a pleasure to have you stay at Deer Wood. Would love for you to stay again. Take Care.
Perfect house for our stay!! We had 8 guys for an OU game and things couldn't have gone better. We were able to walk or Uber to most anywhere. Thank you for sharing your home.
Absolutely loved this place! Thank you so much. The only thing is that the photos were a little misleading. There should be mention that the garage and living area above the garage is not part of the rental and the downstairs photos really didn't look anything like the images on the website. the 360 degree pics only allow of disappointment on space size. Other than that it was amazing and super secluded and peaceful
This home is tucked away in a lovely, quiet neighborhood.... very close to the University of Oregon. If fact, we could see Hayward Field AND Autzen Stadium from our deck.
The home is well stocked with everything we needed to be comfortable... plenty of dishes and glassware, pots and pans, some spices, coffee (yes!!!), etc.
All of the bedrooms were light, bright, and very comfortable.
We would definitely rent this home again!
This lovely home was the perfect place to gather for the Eugene leg of our family reunion. The setting was spectacular and conveniently close to my brother’s home. We would definitely stay again!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Good property, a stay with no major issues
The accuracy of the property description is not very accurate and seemed little old. Plumbing is old and had minor issues with flushing toilets and setting temperature in the shower faucet. Living room lighting was low. Other than those it was a nice house and had a stay without any major issues.

This is a lovely home.
This property is beautiful, close to the University of Oregon and Northwest Christian University. It is large enough to sleep eight and entertain additional visitors comfortably. During our stay, the youngsters gathered in the downstairs area while the adults congregated in the roomy kitchen and other common areas on the first floor. Outside lighting was an issue because those lights were on timers that did not coincide with the onset of darkness. Management acted rapidly to rectify the issue during our stay. There was some confusion about how we should dispose of refuse in outdoor receptacles. I can recommend this property wholeheartedly.

Great for a large group
This house was perfect for our large family at Thanksgiving. We had plenty of room to spread out. We had a total of 9 people and everyone slept comfortably. The house is private and safe, with a security gate. It is in a great location close to lots of activities. We would definately come again.

The property was wonderful.
The property was well maintained, all the rooms were nicely decorated. The living room had a nice view of the U of O and the surrounding area. The kitchen was well equipped with all the cooking tools needed to create a very nice dinner. It was a very nice place to have friends and family over for dinner.
I would recommend this property to friends and family for their visit. I will be coming back soon.

About the host
Hosted by Kathy G. Robinson
We are parents of a past U of O graduate. We know what it is like to visit our daughter and wanting to have quality family time together, just like home. We would come up thinking we would be eating at restaurants and stay in hotels, but our daughter just wanted a home cooked meal. So we bought this amazing home in the Fairmount District of Eugene, Deer Wood Manor. It gave our family that feeling of home that we enjoy with our daughter and her friends. We now what to share Deer Wood Manor as a vacation rental to other U of O families who want to visit the Eugene area and have that same experience. We fell in Love with U of O and Eugene , we know you will too! There is so much to see and do in Oregon.
Why they chose this property
Walking distant to UO, with great views of the UO, surrounded by trees. Walking distance to restaurants, and grocery stores. Easy walk to the Campus.

A Gateway to Oregon’s Best Adventures: The location puts the very best of Eugene and the surrounding region right at your doorstep:
Outdoor Recreation: It sits blocks from miles of riverside bike paths, gorgeous hiking trails (including Hendrick's Park and Skinner Butte Park), and is just an hour's drive from the Oregon Coast.
