About this property
Exceptional retreat near University of Oregon Athletics. Casa del Roots
Capture Eugene with a unique cozy experience situated in the heart of the University of Oregon Athletics and much of what natural habitat prevails in the valley.
Gracefully placed on a natural waterway with paddle boarding, canoeing, kayaking and Prefontaine trail runs, this 4 bedroom 2.5 bath home will accommodate in many ways to include morning coffee on the beach, seasonal evening swims in the pool, or relax from your hot tub view. There is much wildlife to keep you entertained as well.
You will have a short 10min walk to Autzen Stadium, PK Park, Pape field for football, soccer, lacrosse, and baseball. There is a nationally competitive BMX track nearby. The infamous Pre's trail gives you access to a series of runs and avenues to all university events and shopping right out of the neighborhood. There are 2 bikes for a spin downtown to the farmers market or to the infamous Hayward Field 15 min ride.
Sit on the sandy beach early morning and throughout your day with your coffee cheering on runners or embrace a fine refreshment as the sunsets over the water. We welcome you to our quite home and tranquil neighborhood sharing our daily experience in gratitude.

About the host
Hosted by Shawn Root
We are sharing our gratitude through the space we have grown in while living in Eugene our whole lives. We have been fortunate to have found our own vacation spot all year round at our home.
While this is our primary family gathering residence, schooling, work travel, and volunteering is keeping us very busy. We would like to share our experience of balance and peace while you are in Eugene.

Why they chose this property
So many choices! Once you arrive and take in a morning or evening you will see our affliction with this particular spot. With so much very close in city life, athletics, cultural arts, and nearby wilderness, it is often surreal that we are in a local neighborhood in Eugene.
What makes this property unique
Yes!
The water features and small wildlife which create a great calm you cannot escape.
Having dock access to canoe, kayak, paddle boarding, fishing, and the pool for lounging then soaking from the hot tub in the evening, are all very unique.
You will return to a place in a divine space after a day of working an Olympic track meet trial, children's Oregon graduation or move in, in town for business, or any number of family gatherings. Maybe just to relax and take in some PAC12 College sports. All in walking distnace
