About this property

Location! Location! Location! Easy access to everything Eugene, arts to outdoors

This quaint and charming home is centrally located ,in the heart of downtown Eugene, Oregon. It is only a brisk walk from the eclectic Whitaker / Blair Boulevard neighborhood with its many ethnic restaurants and grocers, gourmet dining establishments and great music venues. One of Eugene's best bakeries is only a few steps away! Deliscious! The Pizza Research Institute and Papa's Soul Food Kitchen are extraordinary and Sam Bond's Garage is a popular music venue for local, and not so local, artists. Just down the way a bit is the Hult Center where touring companies bring theatre and music to Eugene and where the notable Eugene Symphony, the Mozart Players and the Bach Festival perform to the delight of local and international audiences. For a change of pace , take public transportation, or drive,the short distance to Matthew Knight Arena, Autzen Stadium, Hayward Field or PK Park where top notch athletic competitions never fail to thrill and inspire.


Setting: The Madison Guest House greets the visitor with an inviting country garden displaying a variety of seasonal flowers and shrubs that soften the urban landscape and lend a tranquil air to the cottage. Tucked behind a cedar enclosure you will find a quiet oasis with space for relaxing, reading or meditating as well as for casual dining...

Beer: Micro brews are another part of the culture and economy of the area that has seen steady growth in popularity. Home brewing is also well supported in the region and worth investigating. Several establishments in Eugene specialize in local brews and offer tastings periodically.. Some of these are within walking distance of this property..

Throughout Oregon wine has become a prominent part of the culture as well as the economy. Within Eugene and the Willamette Valley are some of the best wines produced domestically. Wine tasting tours , barrel tours, are offered at various times during the season. Tasting rooms are located throughout Eugene and are easily accessible by foot, pedal, bus or car.Micro brews are another part of the culture and economy of the area that has seen steady growth in popularity.

Short trip
We stayed here for four nights. The house is so homey and amazing. My kids loved the board games. We had a friend over and had dinner at the amazing kitchen table. The couches and beds are all exceptionally comfortable. Everything is well stocked. The owner is great at communicating. The neighborhood is pretty typical Eugene. So it can seem a bit alarming but the location to everything is astounding. Sweet life bakery is right around the corner and has the most amazing dessert. Overall we loved our stay. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Great location
The property was very comfortable for our week long stay. We especially enjoyed the local restaurants and pastry shop around the corner. The kitchen is well stocked as are the towels in the bathroom. Be aware that 24 trains travel through Eugene each day, so their whistles are heard wherever you are in town.

Wedding Trip
House was unique and comfortable. Really enjoyed patio. Beds were cozy with great linens. Plenty of amenities in kitchen. Location perfect to downtown. However, there was a homeless camp directly across the street. But this seems prevalent in downtown area. No one bothered us at all.Overall great stay

Beautiful house with everything we needed
We really enjoyed the house. The internet was great and air conditioning was perfect during the heat wave during our stay. I don’t think the futon exists but the three beds were cozy and comfortable. I also loved the character of the old house, which has been updated with all necessary modern amenities. The backyard patio was perfect for visiting with some of my family while we were in town. We would definitely return if the house was available on future trips to Eugene.

Comfy, clean home
We certainly enjoyed our stay in this home. We like older homes and this was a gem. The kitchen and bathrooms were modern with nice amenities. It is a neighborhood with homeless folks with some solicition and noise from these folks. Still, we would go there again. side alley..

Comfortable Historical Home
We really enjoyed our stay in this home. Lovely decor and comfortable beds. A previous review mentioned homeless in the area so we were a little apprehensive but we had no issues. There are homeless around but we have found that in any populated area in Oregon, Washington, and California. Communication with the host was excellent. Great value for the price. This is the best deal yet that I have had with VRBO.

This is a delightful place to stay. It is a very comfortable and cozy house to stay at. The beds and pillows were excellent, the heating/cooling unit worked well, and it was a very well stocked kitchen. It is a roomy 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house in a very walkable neighborhood. The best part might be having Sweet Life Patisserie just a block down the alley.

Dance Competition Trip
We came up for a dance competition. Overall house was great, neighborhood was not so great. Homeless camping half a block down and ally way between this house a next house, so there was quite a bit of foot traffic with camp. No parking when we arrived, so we parked in business parking, which were great. Once our parking opened up in front of house we moved our 2 cars. Noise level was great, just regular traffic you might hear as well as train, it did not effect our sleep for 2 nights. We all felt pretty secure and made sure house and cars were locked up before retiring for night. All in all, stay was great as well as communication.
