Great location in Salem

We came to visit our daughter who attends Willamette University. The property was in a quiet neighborhood and you could walk to the University and downtown Salem. The home and kitchen were well equipped for all our cooking needs. Had puzzles and games and YouTube TV and was pet friendly for our dog. This is our 2nd stay at this property and plan to stay there again in the future.

Incredible Stay!

Our family came to the area for our son’s college graduation. The historic house was so charming, clean and had everything you need for a very comfortable stay. The location was so pretty and we loved sitting in the backyard beside the creek. All the beds were so comfortable, even the pullout couch! Lots of blankets, pillows, towels! Jay, the property manager, was so friendly and a pleasure to work with! Sad to leave.

I loved this home! It was exactly as described in listing and much much better than description. It is extremely well appointed. The patio by the stream is relaxing and beautiful. This home is impeccable. It’s the best VRBO I’ve ever visited!!!

Just Perfect!

This beautiful, darling yellow house in Salem is THE best vacation home we have ever rented (and we have traveled all over the world). It is immaculate, very well appointed with everything you need in any situation. The house itself is beautifully designed with comfortable, high end furniture that is cozy and great for hanging out. Even though it is a historic home it offers all the modern amenities that you are looking for. The location and gardens, next to the creek, are tranquil and serene offering comfy furniture to sit in the sun, listen to the creek and enjoy a BBQ. The host is amazing and gets everything ready for your arrival. Our only regret is that our trip was so short. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Perfect little house

Perfect space for our family with two couples and two teens. Park nearby has a little basketball court for kids to stay entertained (swings and play equipment for the littles). Patio near the creek was perfect for morning coffee as was the second story deck. Loved the yard for our dogs to relax. Kitchen well equipped so we didn’t have to eat out so many meals during our 8 day stay. Neighborhood felt super safe with lots of people walking dogs and enjoying the sunny days. Also close to Minto Brown park for runs and the dog park. Saturday market at capital was super cute. House has lots of charm and we had a really great stay!

Gorgeous refurbished 1891 home

We were in Salem for a few days to attend our son’s graduation from law school. We were even more impressed with this home once we actually saw it in person! So beautifully restored! The grounds and landscaping are equally beautiful and the neighborhood was nice as well. The kitchen was well stocked, the house was spotless, and communication with the caretaker to the property was easy with quick responses. We would definitely return to this rental if ever back in Salem!

Salem Rental

The house was very nice, and the patio, overlooking a stream, was outstanding! Because the central AC is not zoned, it was not very effective. Since there are no screens on the windows, we could not sleep with the windows open. The only issue with the house was that it was stuffy upstairs at night. Other than that one problem, which was helped with a fan, it was possibly the best VRBO rental (out of many) we have ever visited. The kitchen was very well equipped, and the patio alone makes it an outstanding rental.

The 'Daniel S. Yoder House' is outstanding!

I have traveled all over the world, stayed at the finest resorts, time shares and rentals. I was looking to find a half way point between the Vancouver, B.C area, where my business partner's live, and the San Francisco Bay area, where I live. The 'Daniel Yoder House' was absolutely perfect! The listing accurately be understated the property;s comfortable charm and the attention to detail the owner and staff had in making sure our every need was met. The house was well over 100 years old but was well maintained and equipped with every amenity, The property was very clean and modern. There was a lot of space and was very comfortable for two couples or more. The location was perfect. You could walk to the historic capitol area of to downtown. We spent most of our time doing 2016 business planning but if I every decide to write a book, this house would be perfect. if your looking for a quiet and peaceful charming, comfortable home in the Salem area, by the creek, and the old world charm of a historic neighborhood, stay here. Great place and I would highly recommend it.

Very special property

We loved everything about this property inside and out! We will definitely stay here again the next time we come to Salem. They had everything you could possibly need from A to Z. Before you go to the store, check all the cabinets and drawers, if you forgot it, it’s probably there. Didn’t think you would need it, they have it. We no longer have dogs, but this place is perfect for 4 legged friends with a sunroom that can be closed off and a fully fenced yard. It did take a day to find the kitchen garbage can because it was inside a cabinet where you would not expect it to be located.
