Charming cabin that was warm, despite the 3 nights of freezing temperatures Corvallis had while I was there. The little artist house was private and cozy, with awesome views of the beautifully landscaped yard and natural areas. The place is on my top 5 list of VRBO lodgings.

This charming bungalow tucked in amongst beautiful trees in a quiet neighborhood was a dream! Our 5-night stay here exceeded our expectations. It was super cozy, peaceful, & had everything we could possibly need. We felt like we were staying in a friend's home. The bed was very comfy & the bathroom supplied with all kinds of toiletries.The kitchen was stocked with fresh eggs from the host's chickens, as well as homemade cookies, coffee cake, fresh ground coffee, half & half, a huge variety of teas, spices, etc...wow! Our communication with Karen was excellent; our questions were answered promptly & she checked in with us throughout our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. We spent 5 amazing nights here & we were so sad to leave! We will definitely return next time we're in Corvallis.Thank you so much, Karen & Bob! This was just the respite we needed.

Absolutely fabulous cozy cottage tucked away in a beautiful neighborhood, lots of amazing fall colors surrounding. My daughter and I particularly loved having access to the kitchen. Additionally, Karen and Bob shared fresh eggs “from their girls”, and prepared a freshly baked cinnamon loaf and yummy chocolate chip cookies to greet us upon check-in! I highly recommend a stay here - close to downtown Corvallis and OSU!

Corvallis cottage

The cottage was perfect place for our visit to Corvallis. It was very comfortable with just enough space. The location made it easy to get to town and anywhere we wanted to go. We definitely found the cottage warm and inviting, lovely and relaxing setting with delicious treats from the host! We enjoyed our short stay but have made note of this cottage for any returns to the area.

The BEST place I have ever stayed hands down! Karen and Bob have created an environment that allows for an experience over just a place to stay. All the little thoughtful details make their home extra special. I won’t share them so you can be as pleasantly surprised as we were. It’s so homey, cozy and welcoming. My husband asked if we could stay there every time we visit. Stop looking and just stay here. You are going to LOVE it!!!
The Zinnias were over 5’!
My husband is 6’2”. The sunflowers were 12’ tall!
So beautiful!!!

10/10 would move in tomorrow. So comfortable, cozy, quiet, relaxing. Great eclectic art and homey family photos. Appreciated the grab bar and step stool to easily get in and out of the claw foot tub for showering. There was so many little extra touches that made it easy to be there - the coffee cake, the cookies, the teas and coffees, the cooking oil that wasn’t rancid, good utensils and cookware, spare toothbrush or aspirin, and many more. Thank you Karen!

About the host

Hosted by Karen Daley

Host profile image
I am a hospice nurse, I love to travel and enjoy simple pleasures like gardening, hiking, baking and being with family. We adore our home and neighborhood and look forward to sharing our town with you!

Why they chose this property

We have a really unique little cul-de-sac…a lot of Montessori school teachers and a group home for medically fragile individuals. The vibe is very quiet, friendly, avid gardeners and birdwatchers. Our house looks out over wetlands that are home to many animals- truly feels like an oasis in town!

What makes this property unique

Our cottage is a 1930’s bungalow, our family home until we became empty nesters. It is decorated in art we have collected and reflects our priorities of art, joy and family. The adirondacks on the porch are a lovely spot overlooking the garden- perfect for morning coffee!
