About this property

Retreat to wine country

This two-story round house is located on a hillside overlooking the beautiful Willamette Valley of Oregon. The 1,200 square-foot home is located on over 20 acres of woods below, providing total isolation and sweeping views of rolling hills, farmland, and vineyards. This house is a perfect retreat from the hustle of urban life. The house feels isolated, but is also conveniently located only 5 minutes from the small town of Amity, 10 minutes from the quaint downtown of McMinnville, 30 minutes from Salem, and a little over an hour from Portland. The area is saturated by vineyards and wineries, with the closest literally located within walking distance (our neighbors, the Keeler Estate). The home is fully-furnished and offers a spiritual/peaceful feel, with numerous Eastern spiritual statues and paintings throughout the home. Behind the round house is a small gazebo, which provides the perfect space for yoga, meditation, or artistic endeavors. The house is entered through the top floor, which has an open floor plan and large windows overlooking the valley. This large room is where the full kitchen, living room, dining space, and wood stove are located. A writing desk and chair facing the view are also located here. Down the stairs you will find two small rooms (one master bedroom with a queen sized bed, the other with a full sized bed) and a bathroom with the washer/dryer unit located inside. The master bedroom has a separate entrance leading to a small sitting area and fire pit outside, and the top floor opens up to the larger deck overlooking the valley. The two bedrooms make the property best suited to 2-4 people.

The closest town, Amity, is a quaint village that is slowly transforming into a wine- lover and vacationer's dream. The Coelho tasting room is located downtown, as well as a wine bar and taphouse just down the street. A local coffee shop named the Common Cup offers coffee and waffles for breakfast. The Blue Goat restaurant offers a delicious farm-to-table dinner option. Just 10 minutes away in McMinnville, numerous restaurants, wineries and breweries can be found, as well as bookstores and other shops. Both downtown areas are very walkable and their rooftop bars and restaurants offer breathtaking views of the valley.

We are following a strict disinfecting protocol and have taken every precaution to ensure a safe travel experience for our guests during this time.

We had an amazing time at this property. This is an absolute must for those who love nature. Wildlife is everywhere and the property sits on a beautiful hillside overlooking the valley below. Highly recommend for couples looking to getaway in wine country, but also want to experience the outdoors.

Amity Getaway

This is a great property. The view was excellent and it was very quiet and relaxing. The soaking tub on the deck was fun and the view from the tub was amazing. Lots of nice room to walk and enjoy nature. We have already recommended this place to friends. We would highly recommend staying here and we will be back again!!

perfect retreat

This is a beautiful property with amazing views. It is secluded and quiet with woods all around, but it was situated ideally for multiple wine tastings in the area. The kitchen and bathroom are well-equipped (except for coffee and Kleenex). The bed is comfy and the shower is larger than most rentals. We enjoyed sitting on the deck every morning and evening, and we were able to enjoy the fire pit a few times. The host provided wonderful suggestions for tasting rooms, hiking, and restaurants.

Truly a Beautiful Retreat in All Ways

This is a special property. Your privacy is 100% guaranteed, and even walking along the roads in the area it is very quiet. The home is located just a few minutes from Amity which boasts two lovely wine tasting opportunities, and only 15 minutes from McMinnville and numerous other wineries. The bird life in the woodlands is rich, and the sunset over the valley below breathtaking. The home is well appointed, creatively curated and quite comfortable.

OMG! We did not want to leave!

Best place I’ve ever stayed and I’ve stayed at a lot of 4 and 5 star hotels! I think we almost cried when we had to go home to Napa, a place that I love. No description or photo can match its beauty. We will be back!

Beautiful views!

We loved our three night stay at this beautiful, unique round house in the woods. Lots of windows with gorgeous views. A very cool separate round yoga/meditation room with mats & incense. Several outdoor porches to sit & enjoy the views & solitude. Even an outdoor bathtub with plenty of privacy. We'll definitely be back! Highly recommend!

As soon as you pull off onto the gravel drive you can see the view of the valley. Beautiful vistas. The home is unique, comfortable and just lovely. It really felt like a sanctuary for peace and quiet. The space was clean and inviting. I enjoyed the stay and will return for sure.

Our favorite rental to date

As soon as we pulled into the driveway we were enamored. The home is beautiful, the views are serene, it is comfortable and quiet and remarkable in every way. My husband and I both remarked at how relaxing and transformative it would be to be there without the children and we are for SURE planning on coming back to this quiet and beautiful oasis. There isn't one single complaint I could give about any aspect of our stay. Not one. We are so so grateful that you shared this beautiful place with us, and we cannot wait to come back [and stay longer!]

About the host

Hosted by Amy Hart

Host profile image
My partner and I are academics in California. We have family in the Pacific Northwest and frequently travel through the Willamette Valley on our road trips to Washington. We fell in love with the area and decided to purchase a home there, where we now spend as much time as possible, and share it with others when we are away.

Why they chose this property

The property is an academic's and wine-lover's dream. The house is located on extensive, isolated woods, making you feel very isolated and at peace. It is an ideal place to write a book or just read a few. The sweeping views of the Willamette Valley are also breathtaking and make you feel in touch with nature without feeling claustrophobic in the woods. The location is also within a 10-15 minute drive of some of our favorite wineries, and even closer to great restaurants, making the location convenient for having a night out as well.

What makes this property unique

The property offers privacy while also being very conveniently located. You won't hear neighbors or city noises here, but if you just drive (or even walk) down the hill, you'll quickly find yourself surrounded by wineries and restaurants.
