In town for a wedding, we were incredibly comfortable staying at this home and lacked for nothing except more time here! Convenient location for all things downtown Newberg (walking distance of several restaurants, boutiques, coffee shops) and surrounding area. We felt as though we moved into someone's home they vacated for the weekend! We found everything (and more) that we needed for three couples to stay under one roof. The house is beautiful inside and out. We utilized the outdoor space extensively for conversation and quite enjoyment of the beautifully manicured yard and water feature. We felt safe and pampered here. Several special touches around the house speak to how extensively the hostess pours into every detail. Would stay here again and recommend highly for adults.

Beautiful

We couldn’t believe our eyes as soon as we set foot inside Victorian Secrets! What an amazingly beautiful home that had everything we needed. Our host really went out of their way to make sure we felt welcomed. From the little personalized touches to the welcoming bread and jam, we were just in awe of everything. The house itself is located in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance to downtown and within a short driving distance to some of the local wineries. After exploring the area, it was so nice to come back and relax in this tranquil and peaceful home. We loved watching the hummingbirds while having our morning coffee and trying out the miniature golf course! Thanks for making our girls’ getaway so enjoyable and memorable!

Perfect Rental

The attention to detail in this rental is amazing. There are adaptors if you need them, toothbrushes if you need them, labels and directions for everything and plenty of outlets in all the rooms. The towels are super-fluffy and the bedding is comfortable. Everything (light, appliances, plumbing, etc) works without any sort of cajoling at all. And to top it all off, the place is squeaky-clean. We also appreciated the little details—water in the fridge, a bottle of welcome wine, the wine cups in the freezer. We had a great time.

Perfect Family Get-Away

Our group had a fantastic time at Victorian Secrets! The house was in the perfect location in Newberg, and we had everything we needed for cooking for the crew. The beds were comfortable, and the bathrooms were extremely well stocked. The kitchen had all the pots, pans, and utensils we needed for cooking breakfast and dinner. We also walked into town in the AM for lattes and mochas, and in the afternoon/evening for wine tastings and dinner. Our host added extra touches that made the whole experience even more special and checked in on us to ensure we had everything we needed. We were extremely pleased and will stay here again in the future!

A Whimsical Retreat Full of Charm and Thoughtful Touches

Victorian Secrets was even better than the photos promised. Each room was a delightful surprise filled with personality, comfort, and charm. Our group of eight felt instantly at home in this beautifully curated space. The fully equipped kitchen made both cooking in and ordering out easy, and the whimsical décor kept us exploring every nook with wonder.The outdoor area was a true highlight. We spent hours enjoying the putting green, relaxing in the covered seating area, and unwinding to the sound of the tranquil water feature. Each bedroom was unique and inviting. Despite the variation in size, everyone felt well taken care of.Our host, Rachel, was outstanding. She was responsive, warm, and proactive without ever being intrusive. She made thoughtful suggestions, such as having BBQ waiting for our late arrival, and added personalized touches that made the stay feel incredibly special.The town of Newberg is a gem, with great restaurants and scenic drives that rounded out our perfect stay. We can't wait to return.

The neighborhood itself was quiet, quaint, and full of character. One of our favorite parts was relaxing on the patio—so comfy and peaceful, it quickly became our go-to hangout spot.Overall, this was an outstanding and serene place to stay—perfect for any kind of gathering.

Perfection Perfected

We were a group of three couples visiting to enjoy wine country and the rodeo. We have stayed in many VRBOs through the years, and have had many wonderful experiences, and can truly say Rachel's home and the level of care she shows for her guests far exceeds anything we've experienced before. Her communication leading up to our stay was excellent, and she made many wonderful suggestions for things to do while we were there– even going as far as researching events in neighboring towns. Upon arrival, we were delighted to be greeted by a lovely bottle of wine, gourmet chocolates, cheese, and crackers, personalized water bottles, fresh flowers in every room, chargers by our bedsides, and handwritten notes. Check in was a piece of cake and the instructions left for Wi-Fi, TV, and explanations of things we might need were very clear and complete. There was not one want or need we had that she hadn't already anticipated and provided for. Checking out was simple and quick. You can tell the home and gardens are a labor of love for her. This is no generic vacation home! The outdoor seating area and gardens are absolutely gorgeous, and the home is filled with lovely art and beautiful touches throughout. Thank you, Rachel, for making us feel so welcome!

Eclectic property for a perfect stay

My friends and visited Victorian Secrets during the wine portion of our girls trip. The place was exactly as pictured and described. The host was lovely and super responsive. She anticipated our every need and provided personal touches throughout our stay. There are plenty of places for groups to relax and the house is close to town which was very walkable. The host provided recommendations which were all amazing. Next time, rather than staying in Portland, we would stay at the Victorian Secrets and commute to anything we would want in Portland. Location was perfect for wine tasting and is an easy drive to Portland. Suggest using this as a good home base for an Oregon adventure. This was a perfect stay and the property was lovely and absolutely charming. The personal touches made us feel so welcome.
