Gorgeous, Centrally Located and Fully Stocked
In a word, this house is AMAZING. My three best friends and I recently rented it for a couples’ trip we took with our husbands and it was absolutely perfect for our needs.
The owners of this home have thought of every detail you could possibly imagine. They welcomed us with a box of vegan muffins, flowers and a handwritten note in which they encouraged us to help ourselves to the “snack drawer,” which of course, was nicely stocked. We were also thrilled to find that the kitchen had an entire drawer filled with different flavors of organic teas! The appliances are top-notch and the cabinets and drawers are stocked with every kind of bowl, plate and utensil you could possibly need—including champagne flutes and Pilsner glasses! There’s even a catchall drawer complete with batteries and a lint roller. Seriously, they’ve thought of EVERY detail. (The lint roller was an especially exciting find because I totally needed one).
There are a ton of places to sit downstairs. The formal dining area has a round table that seats six; the kitchen counter has four very comfortable bar stools; the table in the breakfast nook in the kitchen seats four; and the family room has a large sectional. The family room also has an entire cabinet filled with board games for kids and adults. We were surprised to find a guitar in the family room as well. One of us actually knows how to play, so that was an unexpected treat!
The outdoor space is just as lovely. We particularly enjoyed the sectional on the covered back porch. The eight of us also enjoyed the fire pit in the backyard. The only thing missing is a hot tub!
Each couple had their own bedroom of course, although they were only two en suites so two couples had to share a bathroom. They were all beautiful. Again, however, the owners have thought of every detail for the bathrooms and bedrooms. Each nightstand has a multiple-USB charging station, so you can charge up to four (maybe even five) devices at once per station. There are plenty of hangers in the closet and extra blankets and towels. (The towels, by the way, are the softest I’ve ever felt).
The bathrooms are totally stocked, too. From shampoo, conditioner and body wash to bobby pins, eye makeup remover pads and a blow dryer with a diffuser, these owners have you covered.
And best of all, the house is centrally located. We were able to easily walk to Alberta street for dinner and drinks. We did have a car, so we girls took it out and drove about fifteen minutes to get to a park where we took an incredible hike and then went into town for lunch and pedicures. We also ventured to Willamette Valley on a private wine tour and it took us less than an hour.
All in all, this house is absolutely gorgeous. All eight of us wanted to move in. Do yourself a favor and rent it. You won’t be sorry!
