About this property

Carlton Gates - Willamette Valley Luxury Vacation Rental

Step into an Oasis of style, comfort and privacy in the heart of this most charming wine country.

Perhaps the most ideal location in the Willamette Valley for couples, families and friends visiting Wine Country. Inspired by award winning designer Kim Morris of Morris Design, Inc., Carlton Gates is unlike any accommodation in the area.
Not remotely situated, Carlton Gates is in the middle of everything yet secluded from everyone. Within walking (or biking!) distance of charming downtown Carlton's many Tasting Rooms and new Swimming Pool while still centrally located to area Wineries and Scenic Vineyards.

Featuring a spacious kitchen with large island and gas fireplace for guests to gather round that opens to the Great Room where good company continues among friends. Have an elegant dinner together in the dining room with built in buffet and then move outdoors to enjoy two patio areas each with their own firepit. Feeling contemplative?....take a stroll around the back courtyard or enjoy a bottle of wine in the corner Adirondack Settee under a Blue Spruce.

If your group wants to enjoy a movie in the theater, it will feel like their own private screening with a 70 inch screen and surround sound. When it's time for bed, you can go your separate ways into two Master Suites, Guest Bedroom and Second Guest Bedroom. Two additional guests are accommodated on a comfy pullout sofa sleeper in the theater. The Two Master Suites and First Guest Bedroom each have their own outside private sitting area with bistro table and chairs.

Great home base for exploring

A group of friends spent two nights here enjoying the space and the solitude. This is an excellent house for 4-6 individuals or couples. 4 nice rooms and a couple of couches if you need them. The kitchen is fantastic—nice cruiser bikes to explore the town and very nice furnishings for a relaxing experience.

Fabulous House, As Always

My group has stayed here three times. I think that should demonstrate how wonderful it is. The layout, the decor, the kitchen, the location, the outdoor space, the host…I could go on - everything is exceptionally well done and executed. Our stay was great, as always. I’m sure we will be booking it again!

Wonderful location and accommodations

Four of us took our first trip to Oregon wine country. We had a fantastic trip. We were impressed with the incredible scenery from the time we left Portland. The home was exactly as the listing showed. It was comfortable and roomy. The location was perfect. We walked into town daily for meals. We will be back.

Beautiful Property-well maintained

We loved our stay in Carlton. The house was perfect, clean, spacious, well equipped. We cooked thanksgiving dinner and only needed to bring the food. The kitchen was totally stocked with tools, cook ware, etc. The bedrooms were well maintained. Everything worked. We did not need to contact the host during our stay. We all came in from other places and would love to stay at this property again.
