Great location and cottage

Enjoyed my extended stay at the cottage. Communications with the owner were informative and very quick. Kitchen was well equipped - I cooked while at the location and had no issues. I felt right at home. Family next door was very kind, and the dog is big AND SO SWEET! I would definitely stay again.

Great property

The hosts were very quick to respond to a shower head issue. The grounds are beautiful the house was clean and very well stocked with everything you would need. We stayed for 10 days and loved it! They had a washer & dryer in the home for convenience (we didnt need to use it but was to nice know it was there if we did). Best VRBO we have stayed in yet!!!

We had an amazing stay!

We visited Oregon for fun and business for 3 weeks, staying at 3 different places. This one was by far the best. It was comfortable, easy to book and at a competitive price overall. This clean cozy cottage had all the comforts of home, and the amenities we needed. (And then some) The decor reminds me of my Grandma's home. It's very peaceful sitting in front of the fireplace or sitting out on the patio watching the birds and squirrels play in the park like garden areas. The bed felt very comfortable to me. Our small dog enjoyed walking with us to the dog park just up the street. He made a few new friends on the way and after he got there so he was always anxious to go out on a walk. Instruction for Checking in and Checking out was a one-page outline- very clear, concise directions. The location was great too because it was close to shopping centers and fun things to do. Oregon City has a lot of Pioneer History if you are interested. I highly recommend staying here. 5 Star recommendation.

My parents loved it

We rented the Cottage for my parents for a week to escape the heat of AZ and be closer to us. They loved the place! Said it was just perfect for them. Debbie was fantastic to coordinate with on their arrival, rolling with the changes induced by the chaos that was going on with their departure from AZ that changed their arrival date 3 times in the last week.

Wonderful Cottagr!

The cottage is perfect. We were so comfortable and had everything we could need for our two week stay - nothing was lacking. It was quiet and peaceful. There were two beautiful parks within walking distance and we even enjoyed a little league baseball game one evening. Very convenient/short drive to downtown and restraints/food carts. Our hosts were welcoming and wonderful - quick to respond to questions and very helpful. Enjoyed every minute of our stay due to their attention to detail and hospitality! Thanks so much!

Perfect

The cottage was beautiful, clean and perfect for our 2 week stay. Had everything we needed including lots of food, spices in pantry and condiments in the refrigerator. Has large new stove with flattop surface not shown in pictures. Hopefully it will be available next time we visit. Owners rapidly responded to any questions we had. Thank you for sharing your cottage.

Lovely cottage in suburbs of Oregon City

The overall stay was great. A few notes: it's difficult to receive mail here, so if you need to, make sure you coordinate with the host, as the cottage itself has no mailbox. You can receive packages shipped with Fedex/UPS, but the USPS has trouble finding the cottage because it shares the property with a much bigger house that's situated by the main road. The hosts were very responsive, and when we had issues in the apartment, were quick to solution with us. The amenities were all we could ask for: coffee maker, toaster, toaster oven, dishwasher, crock pot, cooking and baking stuffs, spices, dishwashing supplies, cleaning supplies, etc. The bathroom was fully stocked as well, with plenty of toilet paper, toiletries, even qtips. The host provided linens and towels, which was unusual from our other VRBO stays, but very appreciated! Our kitties were welcome, and enjoyed the space as well. The fireplace was amazing for cold mornings, and the kitties roasted like little hams in front of it. If you have more than one vehicle, you will need to coordinate with the host to park it in the breakdown lane on the street. There is only room for 1 car inside the parking area on the property.

About the host

Hosted by Debbie Derusha

Host profile image
We (Craig and Debbie) recently retired from a meaningful 20 year career of caring for senior citizens living with dementia in two family style homes we built specifically for that purpose. We now offer those homes, slightly remodeled, at affordable pricing to independent adults over 55 where residents enjoy their own bed and bath, sharing the well appointed common spaces. Our 600 sq ft cozy cottage is located adjacent to these peaceful settings. We built it in 2013 as an in-law unit for Debbie's mom. Since acquiring the property in 1993, (we came to Oregon from New Hampshire) we have worked hard to create a beautiful, peaceful atmosphere. It is heartwarming to us to know that cozy cottage guests have a get-away that they can truly enjoy.

Why they chose this property

In town for a wedding? Visiting family? Staying in a hotel? In town for sightseeing? Great country location in a bedroom community close to so many area attractions and destination points.
