The hosts were incredibly kind. The house was very spacious with a great deck and cool skylights. But the location is a little odd and not walkable to campus or anything at all.
This was a great spot for our family. The kitchen is well appointed, and the bathrooms too. The living room is light & bright - a great hangout spot. We’d definitely stay here again.
Staying in this large home was so cozy. Wonderful furniture, many amenities, large well equiped kitchen and a quiet neighborhood. We connected with family and we all enjoyed this comfy home.
We enjoyed our stay! We were in Eugene to visit the University of Oregon. This house was in a great location, we were 5-10 minutes away from everything we wanted to see. Thanks for a great visit!
Well my son competed in the triple jump and the long jump at the state meet. I flew my son up from college in California and it was just great. The proximity to Hayward couldn't have been better. Happy to report my son took 3rd in the Triple Jump and 2nd in the long jump. Great time.
This home was perfect as a jumping off point for touring the university and surrounding area for my daughters and I. Just a short driving distance away and close to the freeway.
We enjoyed our stay in this lovely home in a nice, quiet neighborhood in the forested foothills. It’s a 15 minute walk to the market and another 15 minutes to Hayward Field. The heart of town is too far to walk to, so a car or ride share is necessary. The beds are super comfortable and the showers strong with plenty of hot water. Fully supplied tableware and cookware, but you’ll need your own ground coffee and food.

We loved everything. The house is clean, quiet, and has a unique charm, with modern convenience. The owners obviously take pride in their home and take great care of it. The wooded setting, off the beaten path, but close to town, was a huge plus. 10 out of 10, and would stay here every time we have the opportunity to visit the Eugene area. We only hope that it is available. Thank you so much.

The outside deck was filthy and didn't look like it had been swept in weeks. The shower in the second bathroom leaked and the coffee pot didn't work properly. The beds were comfortable. I would not stay here again.

Needs TLC
Having personally owned older homes and knowing there are quirks with every home, this home needs some attention to detail. The beds were comfortable. The water was hot for showers and the towels were fluffy and soft. The living room was cozy with many sitting areas. With that said, the owners need to pay attention to some important details. The second bedroom does not have a heat vent. Although there is an electric radiant heat source to use in that room, it should not be used on carpet. We were greeted with the invoice from the cleaning service with an errant sock on top on the dining room table. There was outdoor debris on the indoor carpet that leads to the outdoor deck (and the cleaning service had just been there). The kitchen should always come equipped with a new sponge for each renter and all kitchen and bath soaps should always be refilled. The refrigerator sounded like it was going to expire at any time. There are noticeable areas of the kitchen and laundry area that need to be cleaned and organized. Under the kitchen sink, the floor space between the refrigerator and counter, the washer needs to be cleaned, the "broom" closet area of the laundry just needs a wall mounted organizer instead of everything thrown in the corner next to the washer. These are details that make a difference and just to be clear, these were not searched out. The location was perfect for our needs.
We only stayed for a weekend. We were in town for a taekwondo tournament. This house was perfect for our needs. I loved the old homey feel of this house. Was in a very quiet neighborhood. Easy access to the freeway. Beds were comfy. Was actually really well stocked for a little house. Loved the books and games. There were few touches that could move this up to 5 stars. Deck could be swept and cleaner, some walls definitely need to be cleaned or a fresh coat of paint. Cleaning service needs to make sure there’s dish soap and a few trash cans didn’t have bags in them. But overall we enjoyed our stay and recommend this rental. I would stay here again if we come back to this area.
Home is very old, creaky and not clean. Door knobs were loose, curtain rod was broken, front door had to be manipulated to close and lock, bedding/pillows were not great quality, carpeting is old, and house has a very musty smell. Kitchen was tiny and not there were not any amenities such as coffee pods, etc. Heating is not evenly distributed and there were not any extra blankets to supplement. Toilet in 2nd bathroom leaked and there were not any extra toilet paper rolls for a five night stay. VRBO needs to inspect this property.
The location was great for us. We were able to walk to Hayward Field and Autzen Stadium so that we didn’t have the hassle of parking at those locations. The house was as advertised. Clean and comfortable. It is older, but that is what is advertised and I had no problem with that. Personally, I’d rather pay a lower price than pay a high price for a place with everything updated.
The location of the second bathroom (other end of the house through the kitchen) was a bit strange, but it was clean and everything worked.
In reply to another viewer that complained about the deck being dirty, the deck is OUTSIDE under lots of trees. Of course, there will be fallen leaves and fruits. Even if the deck was swept the day before you arrive, there will probably be leaves on it. The furniture was comfortable and there is lighting strung around the railing that was very nice. We found a broom and did a quick sweep when needed.
Warning for anyone arriving after dark for their initial arrival. The house is back quite a way off the street and hard to see. Reflective house numbers have been nailed to a tree at the end of the driveway, so look for those. The house was dark because the porch light doesn’t turn on until motion sets off the sensor. We made sure to turn on the deck lights so that we could see easier the following nights.

It was okay.
Nice living room, nice deck. House is older than photos show. Very dirty deck, windows, barbecue and skylights. Had to ask owners to clean deck and barbecue when we got there. The comment was they weren't ready for summer visitors even though we booked back in March. They did take care of the issues that day and overall stay was pretty good and the owners agreeable to work with. We might book again if the property and house were properly cleaned.
We were very happy that the photos that drew us to this property were so very true to the property itself.

Older home with a wide array of mismatched furniture. Very drafty and the only TV displays a fuzzy picture. Steep all mud driveway requires some navigation. However, for the nightly rate it’s reasonable value.

Will definitely return! I like how convenient it is to U of O. It is not a cookie cutter house but rather has a feeling of character and history. The driveway did not bother me but the owner let us know they were working on smoothing it out.

Lon is a native of Eugene and Janice came here to go to school in 1983 and never left. We both enjoy staying in VRBOs whenever we travel and are looking forward to sharing our home.
Why they chose this property
This house has been in the family since 1949. It has seen many reiterations and modifications over the year. We believe it has never looked better. We love the love the house and its location, and have enjoyed furnishing it. It is still and always will be a work in progress!
What makes this property unique
The house is set well back from the road. It is spacious, has good light, large front deck, and despite being in town, it feels private. We enjoy being surrounded by large, mature fir trees, watching the squirrels and the occasional deer strolling through.
