Within an hour you can be at Mt. Hood or in just a little longer, on the Oregon coast. Within 2 miles, you can walk, bike, or drive to numerous restaurants and bars from coffee bistros and fast food to sports bars, breweries and fine dining. Pharmacies, groceries, department stores, the Family Fun Center, and many more retail shops are also available in Wilsonville.

If you are traveling for genealogy or history, we are very knowledgeable about our pioneer cemeteries, museums, and heritage attractions. The Aurora Colony is located just 5 miles away with many antique shops and museums. One of the recent trees to gain status as an Oregon State Heritage Tree, the R.V. Short Fir, stands just outside this farmhouse.

Home away from Home

I really can’t say enough positive things about our stay in this beautiful, comfortable home. We were staying here to deal with some very difficult family issues, and from the first few minutes of being in this house we were comfortable. The hosts Charlotte, and her sister Susan were extremely welcoming and helpful during our stay. The house is comfortable, beautifully decorated, and very clean. We hope to come back to this house in the future.

Loved our stay at this perfectly appointed farmhouse.

We had everything we needed for a cozy vacation at the farmhouse. We had chickens, a kitty, deer and walking trails right outside the door. Our wonderful hosts supplied us with fresh eggs each morning. The house and surrounding property has an interesting and well documented history. It was charming and peaceful stay.

Wilsonville Gem

My wife and I spent Thanksgiving week at Twin Oaks in Wilsonville, OR. The house was very charming with lots of attention to details in the house. Charlotte and Susan the owners had actually had the house moved from another site to this one overlooking a city park in a lovely neighborhood. They did a terrific job fixing it up. There are 3 bedrooms with a large bedroom on the second floor with a living area and a kitchenette. We had our son and his wife stay there for one night. Charlotte and Susan were terrific hosts and very helpful. You can’t go wrong renting Twin Oaks. It is one of our favorite VRBOs we have rented. Brian and Susan

Exceptional experience

Wonderful property with unique history, hosted by lovely folks invested in their guests' experience. The house has tons of character with enough modern amenities to make the stay smooth and effortless. Lovely touches and conveniences. Geared for families, with games, books, outdoor gear - the works. Low-key check-in and check-out. Located just up the hill from a park and next to a forest preserve in a quiet neighborhood. This was just what we needed.

A little slice of heaven

This property was perfect for all our needs. The craftsmanship of this house makes you feel at home. And as a bonus was the park and walking trail right behind it. We met so many nice people who take care of this neighborhood park. They even have greeter chickens and cats; Kyle, Dash, and Emmett!. I can not wait to come back.

About the host

Hosted by Charlotte Lehan and Susan Harrison

Host profile image
Susan and Charlotte grew up in the other house on the property. Susan and Charlotte still live there. With Susan's husband, Pat, we took on the challenge of moving this little 1941 house in order to save it from demolition back in 2013. In the process we have learned a great deal about architectural restoration and we love to talk DIY with anyone who is interested! Talk about an adventure in moving!

Why they chose this property

This little farm house, originally located in what is now Villebois, was slated for demolition when we decided to move it 1.5 miles to sit next to its sister house, of similar vintage and style that Susan and Charlotte grew up in. It is an example of the best of 1941 craftsmanship in a modest farm home. In the process of moving it we made the updates necessary to offer all the amenities and technology that any discerning business or family traveler has come to expect.

What makes this property unique

If you have an interest in architectural history or renovation we are sure you will enjoy this property, but even if you do not know a salt box from a log cabin, you will enjoy the privacy, comfort, amenities, location, and access this property has to offer.
