Just as advertised!

A cozy getaway spot in the heart of the Willamette Valley! Host very responsive and easy to work with - breakfast staples provided. Comfortable bed and great pillows. Loved the hot tub and pretty views from the amazing deck! Even in rainy spring weather, this vrbo met our every need.
