We had a great stay in this home, with plenty of room in both the common areas and the bedrooms. It was in a perfect location for my hiking group to head west toward the mountains or east to Smith Rock.

Great location, clean and comfortable house. Home was conveniently located next to the park and canal, great for dog walking. Kitchen is large and spacious, perfect for our group. Highly recommend.

This property is beautifully appointed furnishings, kitchen, even the linens! We loved it so much; we’ve booked it again. Thank you for sharing your vacation home!
