Welcome to Deer Wood Manor!
As parents of a UO alum, we know how special Eugene visits are! If you want a multi-generational home away from home with amazing views, Deer Wood Manor is perfect. Spacious and beautiful, with a fully stocked kitchen, you're just blocks from campus. Whether you are visiting for graduation, game days, or a peaceful Pacific Northwest getaway, this home offers the perfect blend of neighborhood charm, spectacular views, and modern comfort.

From this prime location in the desirable Fairmount area, you are a short walk away from Hayward Field, Matthew Knight Arena, and Autzen Stadium. You are also just minutes from the scenic Willamette River bike path and an incredible lineup of local favorites, including Beppe & Gianni’s, Agate Alley, McMenamin's, Sweet Life Petite Bakery, Studio One, Hey Neighbor Pizza Place, Wild Duck, Prince Pückler's, Market of Choice, and the historic Hirons.

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 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!

Great House, Great Location

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.

Beautiful property

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!

Great house, no hot tub

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.

A Wonderful Place to Stay

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!

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

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.

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

Host profile image
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.

What makes this property unique

Deer Wood Manor stands out for its incredible blend of serene natural beauty, panoramic city views, and an unbeatable location tailored perfectly for family gatherings.

Here are the key features that make it a truly special stay:

Breathtaking Sunset Views: Perched beautifully in the Fairmount District, the property offers a spectacular vantage point for watching the perfect sunset overlooking the city below.

A True "Home-Away-from-Home" for UO Families: Designed by parents of a University of Oregon graduate, the home was specifically envisioned as a cozy sanctuary for visiting families. It provides the space and comfort needed for quality family time and home-cooked meals, offering a warm alternative to standard hotel stays.

The Perfect Neighborhood Balance: It is nestled in a peaceful, tree-lined neighborhood that offers a quiet retreat while remaining within easy walking distance to the UO campus, local restaurants, and grocery stores.

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. It’s also perfectly situated for sailing on Fern Ridge Reservoir, or kayaking, rafting, and fishing along the McKenzie River.

Arts & Culture: Guests have quick access to local cultural hubs like the Hult Center for the Performing Arts, the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, the Museum of Natural and Cultural History, and events at Matthew Knight Arena.

Local Flavors: It is ideally located to explore Eugene's vibrant food and drink scene, from the seasonal downtown Saturday Market and local farmers' markets to some of the best boutique wineries, craft breweries, and whiskey tastings in the country.
