Friend’s reunion and Eugene wedding

Linda’s property is perfect for larger groups (we had 8) because of the amazingly large backyard with seating for 12+. Front porch has 4 comfy Adirondack chairs too. I swear she has dishes, wine glasses and silverware for 25+ and pretty much every serving and cooking item you may EVER need. The AC kept the entire house super cool, even upstairs and we were a 15 min drive from everywhere we needed to be. And her house has a bathtub!!! And the dishwasher is super big and had the hottest sanitizing cycle ever. Everything was super great quality!! Thanks Linda, I would absolutely stay at your place next time.

Nike track meet at Hayward Field

We visited Eugene to attend a Nike track meet at Hayward Field. It worked out perfectly for the group of 8 of us. The house was immaculate with a modern kitchen and bathrooms. The porch and yard are beautiful. Linda was very responsive and helpful. She even left us some delicious lemon blueberry bread to sample! I highly recommend this property.

perfect in every way

It's a beautiful house, with an impeccably clean, museum-like charm, well suited for group meals around the ample dining room table and the multiple, round backyard tables. The large back yard is beautifully landscaped and offers both group patio seating and private, secluded areas. Linda, the owner, clearly takes pride in her property and made every effort to make us comfortable during our stay

Beautiful Garden Oasis

This is a beautiful and pristine home, and Linda is a friendly, welcoming and responsive host. The decor is traditional and historic, updated where it matters with high quality modern amenities. The large, gracious front porch is great for watching the world go by. Huge back patio and yard, table seating, and BBQ grill are perfect for family gatherings. The large yard is immaculately landscaped with gorgeous green lawns and formal gardens. The whole property shows tremendous pride of ownership! All of our restaurant budget ended up going to groceries instead because we never wanted to leave this peaceful oasis :)

Such a pleasant stay!!!

This beautiful house, set in the most lovely yard, was simply perfect for us. The house was very clean, beds were comfy, kitchen very well-supplied with everything anyone could need, and the wine and banana bread Linda left for us was more than we could have asked for! This was more house than the three of us really needed....However, we would stay there again any time!

Lovely retreat in Eugene

It was a treat to stay in this lovely home. There was more than enough room for our family of 4 and the beds were very comfortable. The property was spotless upon arrival and well appointed with everything we needed, and more. The yard and gardens were so beautiful and provided a peaceful and verdant oasis on hot July days. The host was lovely, very communicative and gave us great information about the area which enhanced our stay. All in all a fantastic time! We'd definitely stay here again. Five stars!

Beautiful, functional and peaceful!

We rented this property to hold a bridal shower for my daughter. The stay was perfect! Beautiful exterior and interior. We had everything we needed and then some. Linda was a joy to work with and went over expectations with suggestions and helping to make sure our needs were met. The weekend was perfect and we would definitely stay again. Area was pretty quiet with close access for our needs. Highly recommend for adults and older kids. Top drawer!!

About the host

Hosted by Linda Reed ... Walnut Avenue Rental

Host profile image
After a long career as a whole lumber trader I am now a real estate agent with Keller Williams Realty. In 2014 my business partner in Manners Simply (yes, we teach etiquette and specialize in dining skills) and I co-authored an award-winning book "Which Fork Do I Use? Confident and Comfortable Dining." We have been teaching for over 20 years and when we started the book we didn't know it would take us 4-1/2 years to complete. For hobbies, I love to entertain and have parties, to grow pretty flowers, decorate cakes, make sourdough bread, bake cookies and play golf!

Why they chose this property

This house has seen guests from all over the world. We have had guests from as far away as Australia and England. And that was before we entertained the idea of renting it out! I've loved it from the first day I saw it and hope you will too. It's a perfect setting for families and friends to gather, attend Duck football games, UO graduation or attend world class track and field events.

What makes this property unique

When we first moved in my daughter was 8 years old. She wanted a laundry shoot. My husband wanted a front porch and I wanted lots of windows. And it had to be large enough to have my mother move in with us as she aged. There is something wonderful about all the built-in cabinets and storage. The crown moldings and faux painted walls by artist Debra Wilde add warmth and interest to this 1940s house. The backyard is a wonderful place to have a bbq in the peace and quiet of the neighborhood and private yard. Just a piece of local information...River Road at the end of the street is the old Hwy 99 from Portland to California.
