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.

North Western adventure

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.

Great location for a OSU visit

This is a very cute 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath home that fit us perfectly. The kitchen is small but has modern equipment that works well. It is comfortable and worked well for our family of 4. It is very close to the OSU campus and would work very well for OSU events or visits.

Cozy little cottage

We came to Corvallis on a girls' trip with my mom and two daughters to check out OSU. We had a great time! The beds were comfy, the house was clean and well stocked, and the location was great! It rained our whole first day, so we played some games and enjoyed a cozy movie night together. I recommend the cute, little cottage!

Another trip to ShiShi’s Cottage

This is our second time staying here and we love visiting our “home away from home” in Corvallis. The house is clean, comfortable, and fully stocked. It's so close to OSU and in an excellent location for adventures out of town. The owner is very attentive and easy to get in touch with. We love this little cottage!
