Excellent location

The rental is an excellent location - we very easily walked to the main part of McMinnville and appreciated the close proximity. Communication with the managers leading up to and during our stay was excellent. We had everything we needed and were very comfortable.

We don't have a pet but the fenced back yard would be nice for a dog. This is a roomy house, a quick drive or 12 minute walk to downtown. It comes with the basics stocked, including salt, pepper and some spices for the kitchen. Coffee beans, grinder, sugar and creamer for coffee. Nice kitchen appliances, basic utensils, nice glasses and dishes. Code lock on front door for easy in and out. Beds are comfortable with nice linens.

Relaxing and Cozy Getaway

We had a wonderful weekend away at Ambrosia. The house was very clean, had plenty of space and was well maintained. The decor was welcoming and stylish. Lots of attention to detail. A cozy place to come back to after an afternoon of wine tasting. Location is amazing. It’s an easy walk to 3rd street or Mac Market. It’s a perfect spot for a relaxing getaway. We will definitely be back.

Fantastic Location

This home was very spacious and conveniently located to 3rd street. There were two master bedrooms, a reading room, a sitting room, two full baths, a full kitchen, a formal living room and a family room with an additional dining area. The backyard was spacious and so was parking. The home was only a few minutes away from the charming 3rd Street dining and shops area.

I thought the property was really nice and the links sent about local dining, etc. were very helpful. One of my travel friends did not like the fact that the window in the living room right as you came into the front door did not have curtains that could be closed completely. With the lights on in the room, it felt a little like being onstage. Would like the option to close off the window.

Excellent Location, Clean, and Super Cute!

We loved our stay in this beautifully decorated home! It was clean, had plenty of space, and had a stocked kitchen with everything we needed. There were plenty of towels and linens too. The only thing missing was a full length mirror and blinds on the front windows. The location was great and close to several shops and restaurants. There were several wineries close by as well. It's only about an hour or so from Pacific City Beach which is a beautiful beach to visit. It is only about an hour from Portland. The host was very friendly and helpful and responded very quickly to questions. I would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to experience the Willamette Valley and surrounding areas.
