An Enjoyable 5 Days

My wife, myself, and an adult daughter stayed at ShiShi's cottage for five days at the end of January 2025. The cottage is very "homey" and cozy - very easy to settle in. There was plenty of space, and the upstairs bedroom was a good "work from home" room for our daughter. There wa an abundance of cooking and kitchen utensils, though we didn't use them a lot, as there were plenty of nearby restaurants to try. Internet connectivity was good, there was an easy to use TV, and also plenty of books/games if we were stuck inside by the Oregon winter rain/snow. Overall, it was just what we were looking for - a great base from which to explore central Oregon.

Shi shi cottage was a home away from home with everything we needed. Quiet and peaceful location but close to everything. A very restful place to use as a home base while we explored Corvallis. The use of the washer and dryer was very convenient. The cottage was warmand cosy with clean linen and comfortable beds. We would definitely stay again.

An Oasis of Calm and Beauty

My second time staying at Shishi's cottage while visiting family in Corvallis… it's a perfect combination of comfort, charm, and location. There is such a special vibe about this house, reflecting a love of art, history, meditation, and nature. I especially enjoyed wandering through the garden full of springtime beauty, and exploring the wooded creekside trails behind the house.
