Home away from home!

Stayed here while visiting my folks in Albany. This place was a great place to unwind after our day with them. House has a lot of charm and comfort! The house actually has three units but we only heard one of the other guests when they used the shared laundry room. Would definitely rent this place again on our next visit to Albany!

Cozy cottage

We loved the cottage!! Everything was super clean and comfy! Outlets everywhere!! The beds were comfy and Bertha kept us warm. Our only complaint was the occupants in the other unit were loud and up and stomping at 2 AM.

Taking our Daughter to check out OSU

Very cozy place to stay. Quick 15 min to OSU. Hosts were awesome. It was good to have several bedrooms as everyone had different bed times. It was so much nicer than a hotel with one room. Great price well worth the cost. Would totally stay there again.

Our Stay in Albany, OR

Stay was great while dropping off my child at OSU. There were a lot of extras provided by the host, so it helped with the stay since we got in late. There was some road noise in the main bedroom in the morning but other than that everything was excellent. Cute little cottage!

Lives up to its Name

This is one of the nicest places we have ever stayed. We feel fortunate that each place we stayed while visiting in Oregon was as clean and nice as listed. This two bedroom cottage had everything we needed and then some extras. We enjoyed visiting, in part, because of the comfort within this cottage. Cooking, relaxing, being close to the city downtown, everything was there for us to use.Loved staying here and lives much larger than expected.

Pleasant stay, convenient distance to OSU

We thoroughly enjoyed staying here during our daughter's Orientation at Oregon State University. The place is very comfortable and beautifully updated, with a well-supplied kitchen. It was exceptionally clean and tidy, with thoughtful touches that made it so easy to settle in and just enjoy being there. The property is divided into at least two living areas, but we were hardly ever aware of other guests or residents. They're still working to update the exterior, but the neighborhood was just fine and this location was perfect for us. We'll definitely check availability here first whenever we need a place to stay near OSU!

Wonderful and stress free

We were having our wedding in Albany that weekend and needed a place to stay since we live out of town! The property was cute and clean and didn’t have any trouble with check in or check out! It was so nice to not have to worry or deal with anything since our minds were already occupied with last minute wedding details!

Excellent property - Communication was lacking

The property was excellent! I loved the fully-stocked kitchen that made it easy to do some cooking while there for an extended period. The bedrooms were cozy and the bedding/bathroom supplies went above and beyond. My only major issue was with communication from the host. I never got check-in instructions prior to arriving. I messaged and called the host several times on check-in day hours before arriving and never got a response. I arrived late at night with my fingers crossed that I could get in. Luckily, (I assume) the host lived next door, and after knocking on the door, I was sent my check-in instructions. This made for a very stressful first night there. After that, she responded to my only other request to replenish essentials, but that also took 24+ hours. Improved communication would make this a 5-star spot!
