- Pet Rules:
We are glad to host your pets too. Please note however pets and animals (including service animals) are permitted in the two bedroom basement unit ONLY. Regardless of how well trained the pet is, we have found pets do crazy things at unfamiliar locations. I really do not want to charge for cleaning carpets or floor rugs. It’s a pain, so please READ carefully! Thank you!

We ask for compliance in a few house rules:

•Do NOT invite them onto the furniture so we can keep it in great condition for all who are to come!

•DO NOT allow them into the bedrooms. Keeping the doors closed will make this easy. We just replaced the carpets in many locations and want to keep them fresh and pet smell free.

•We encourage you to bring your pets favorite bedding and blankets to prevent marking or nervous accidents. Trust us, they do happen!

•Please keep them on wood flooring, use the baby gates provided or close bedroom doors to ensure compliance.

•Let me know if you do not have extra bedding for them, I will provide it to you.

•The bathroom tub or showers are for humans only.

•When taking your pet out to the bathroom, please pick up after them. Other guests will greatly appreciate your taking responsibility for this.

•Lastly, please do NOT Leave them alone unkenneled. We offer Rover service , if you are going to be gone and cannot take your animal or kennel them. Let us know and we can arrange it!

There is a $60 per week per pet fee for dogs (capped at $180 per month), Any other pets will be considered on a case by case basis- please inquire. If you already paid it through your reservation, great! If not, please reach out and we can discuss the various channels depending on how you booked that we can use.


*Violations of house rules may result is a $250 fine.

Great spot near Corvallis

Stayed here when visiting OSU for a college trip with my nephew. It was close to Corvallis, clean, and had plenty of space for us to relax and hangout. We enjoyed the pool table and games outside. Communication was timely, clear, and very helpful!

Wonderful place to stay.

This property is exactly as represented. The outdoor area is gorgeous. The shuffle board and pool table are a fun addition. The kitchen is well stocked and the beds/bedding very comfy. This is our second time staying and we will definitely plan on staying again. Great check in process. We definitely recommend this property.

Great place for a weekend visit!

Great little spot to stay for the weekend. Comfy beds, great shower, TV area, pickle ball, shuffle board and pool table! A full size oven would make this a perfect place to stay for longer with a bigger group, but all in all a lovely spot. Host is availble quickly!

Frog Heaven

This property was fantastic. Easy to get to, very clean and fresh feeling. Large bathroom, Main Bedroom was very luxurious feeling, 2nd bedroom had a mattress that felt like heaven. We didn’t have to much of an opportunity to play pool or shuffleboard but we enjoyed the place so much we plan on returning and will play then. The HIT of the stay for the kids was the play area!!! Elevated playhouse, slide, swing, monkey bar, trampoline….kid heaven. There is even a lovely little ‘stream’ water feature…and at night the resident frogs serenade you. Absolutely delightful!

Clean two-bedroom central to coast and Corvallis

I came to Corvallis to visit with my Oregon State kiddo during spring break. This place was peaceful and clean. A relatively short drive gets you to the coast or out to Alsea Falls. Beds are really comfortable. Although there is no oven, the toaster oven was actually big enough to heat some pre-prepared meals from Costco. Kitchen has most things you would need. Billiard table is a plus for relaxation time.

Wonderful stay

It is just as represented. It is clean with lots of room. We really enjoyed the shuffle board and pool table. We stayed over Christmas, so cold and wet, but we would love to come back and play pickle ball in nice weather. A very lovely place to stay.

Charming

We had such a great time here. The place was clean and charming. We really enjoyed the pool table and the shuffle board. It was centrally located for everything that we wanted to do. It was out in the country, yet a short drive to stores. Everything we needed plus great extras! We truly enjoyed our stay!

Great experience!

My youngest daughter and granddaughter stayed at this property while visiting my oldest daughter and her husband who live in Philomath. The property was excellent. The bedrooms were large and well appointed. The living areas included a full size shuffleboard table, a pool table, a TV and WiFi. The bath included a washer and dryer. The kitchen had a full size fridge, two burner stove, coffee pot and microwave. Everything was fully functional. The location was perfect for lots of exploring. Marys Peak is just a few minutes away. The Corvallis Farmer's Market is amazing! An hour to the beaches, harbor and lighthouse at Newport filled one day. Less than an hour to the Trail of Ten Falls near Salem filled a third day of hiking. Minor league baseball on Oregon State campus. Less than an hour from the Eugene airport (great experience there, too!) and Oregon University. Nothing but positive things to say about this host, this property and this area. We will be back!

Nice location but you have to be willing to drive

Property is as expected, think basement game room converted to vacation rental. So if you know what to expect you will be pleasantly surprised. Only real issue is the Noisy furnace at night .
