This sweet historic c1895 cottage just received a full overhaul. It's now available to book! The location is perfect for Albany visitors, it’s just steps from the heart of downtown Albany in the historic Monteith District. We’ve opened up the floor plan and are honoring the historic materials within the home. You will love the 9ft tall ship lap ceilings the gorgeous 125 year old fir floors, and everything in between. You’ll love this home. Come stay in a piece of Albany history!

This 1895 Italianate cottage is in the beautiful historic Monteith District in downtown Albany, OR. Just a few blocks from downtown eateries, antique stores, the new Carousel and Monteith Park's free summer concerts. The location is perfect for exploring Albany. This home has been completely redone with a new fresh open floor plan, appliances, paint and furnishings. The new design honors the vintage age while offering all the conveniences of this century.

The parking space can be a tight fit, however, guests can also park on 4th or 5th for free.

The entire house, deck and yard are available to all guests.

I'm available by phone or text anytime.

This excerpt from the City of Albany's web page tells about our wonderful area.

The Monteith Historic District was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 29, 1980. The time period of significance for all of Albany's historic districts was expanded in 2000 from 1849 to 1915 to 1849 to 1945 to capture resources and architectural styles constructed between 1915 and 1945 that reflect the growth and development of Albany. The Monteith District was expanded in November 2008 to add 78 properties on the southwest corner of the original boundary to include a cohesive collection of early to mid-twentieth century residential buildings. Many distinct architectural styles grace the District. Included are Federal, Craftsman, Classical Revival, Gothic Revival, Italianate, Queen Anne, French Second Empire, Stick, Eastlake, Colonial Revival, Rural Vernacular, Transitional Box, Bungalow, American Renaissance, Depression/WWII Cottages, and eclectic hybrids that combine elements of these styles.

Albany is a small town, nothing is more than 10 minutes away. This little house is a short walk from historic downtown Albany, antique stores, restaurants, brew pubs and our gorgeous new carousel.

The 42” TV is wall mounted with hardware that can tilt, swivel and rotate. This is a Roku TV with WiFi access to all your favorite streaming services.

Vine St. Cottage 1895

Excellent location: walkable to downtown; easy access to US highways for day trips (w/in one hour of the coast); quiet, quaint neighborhood. Excellent property: immaculate, well-furnished; kitchen modern, spotless, a cook's heaven--you could effortlessly prepare and host a seven-course, Thanksgiving dinner in the kitchen. If the host did long-term leases, I'd rent Vine Street Cottage for a year and forego apartment hunting.

A lovely, restful stay at the beautiful Vine Street Cottage!

We enjoyed a restful five days in the comfort of the lovely Vine Street Cottage! It was the perfect place to rest up after holiday madness. Lee Anne is a responsive host and provided clear instructions for check in and check out. The cottage itself is beautifully appointed—the photos *almost* do it justice! We used it as home base to do some day trips to other spots of interest in the Willamette Valley, and enjoyed getting to know Albany itself by walking its streets. We look forward to our next visit!

Cozy, comfortable cottage

We really loved Lee Anne’s wonderful studio. Just the right size for the two of us. Close to downtown in a quiet neighborhood great for long walks. All the amenities were provided. We are looking forward to our next stay in the summer when we can sit out on the comfortable deck, grill and enjoy a glass of wine.

This property was everything we could hope for our stay in Albany. It is in walking distance of several coffee shops, restaurants, parks,.... We were visiting our grandchildren who live in Albany and this was the perfect place to stay. Everything you could want while staying at a vacation house was at your fingertips.

Adorable cottage

The property was amazing. The location was walking distance to downtown Albany and a 20 min drive to Corvallis. Our hostess provided orange juice, coffee, creamer, yogurt water and home made banana bread that was delicious. The cottage is well appointed and very comfortable. I highly recommend this rental.

Vine street cottage Albany Oregon May 2021

The cottage was perfectly maintained and in a great location close to downtown restaurants, coffee shops and stores. The only problem is the bed is too high for petite women with any type of disability. I did find a step stooled and that helped with getting in bed but getting out required assistance. Recommend it highly but could not stay there again unless the bed was lowered.
