About this property

Historic 1910 Bungalow & Carriage House • Dog Friendly • 1 Block to Wine & Dine

Stay in a beautifully restored 1910 bungalow with a charming carriage house that transforms into a covered open-air entertaining space, in the heart of McMinnville Wine Country. Just one block from top wine tasting rooms, chef-driven dining, boutique shops, art galleries, and festivals. This walkable retreat blends historic character with modern comfort. Enjoy original details, a cozy dog-friendly fenced yard, and inviting indoor-outdoor spaces—perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring.

The home offers excellent privacy for couples, families, or friends traveling together. The private primary suite offers a king bed and a beautifully designed compact ensuite bath. In a unique historic touch, original French doors from the home were converted into a sliding barn-style door, paired with a fully tiled bath and updated fixtures. At the opposite end of the home, a spacious 2nd bedroom features a queen bed, with an adjacent full bathroom that also serves as the home's main bathroom. Just off to the kitchen is the laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer, which adds extra convenience for longer stays.

Outdoor living is where this property truly shines. Enjoy the classic covered front porch with comfortable lounge chairs—perfect for sipping coffee and watching the neighborhood stroll by. Out back, open the historic roller door, and the carriage house transforms into a covered open-air entertaining space that flows directly into the fully fenced yard. With ceiling string lights, a rustic wood slab table on wine barrels, bistro chairs, and the BBQ placed right at the entrance, it’s the perfect spot to gather with your pups, enjoy umbrella shade during the day, or the heat lamp, and twinkle lights in the evening.

Fully Stocked Kitchen: Open the cabinets and drawers, and you'll find everything you need to whip up a quick meal or cook and bake your favorite holiday meals. The kitchen is also supplied with a spice rack, olive oil, vinegar, BBQ utensils, a meat thermometer, hot-pads, kitchen towels, and extra paper towels.

1910 Carriage House & Connected Outdoor Space: The historic 1910 Carriage House has been beautifully restored into a covered outdoor gathering and dining space, with a charming original 1910 roller that opens the entire side of the Carriage House to the fully fenced outdoor space. The BBQ sits right at the doorway for easy indoor/outdoor entertaining, connecting to outdoor seating, a sun umbrella, lounge chairs, outdoor heating, and twinkle lights.

Adorable restored historic house right in downtown, so easy to walk everywhere: farmer's market, coffee, wine tasting, shopping and more! The neighborhood is also filled with lots of historic homes, really charming. The converted garage was really cute and a nice place to sit while having dinner, our dog loved the fenced in yard too.

This was our 2nd time staying at Cowl's Bungalow. My husband and I traveled with my Dad this time. We love the large covered porch and that we can easily walk 2 blocks to the main street with shops, grocery and restaurants. The kitchen is well stocked with nice quality pans and fresh olive oil. Coffee beans/grinder are provided. We especially appreciated the AC given we were there on a 100 degree weekend. Would return again!

About the host

Hosted by Wine Country Properties

Host profile image
She had the Wine Country Farmhouse, and he had the Walter Link House, which is how Anita and Larry met. Well.... it was at the UFO Festival, but that's another story. The result was another vacation rental, and now another one along the way. Both are natives who grew up surrounded by the wine industry. As a kid, Anita picked grapes during harvest on one of the first vineyards in Dundee. Larry was raised on a farm in what is now the McMinnville AVA. Like Salmon, they returned after exploring the world to pursue their passion in their hometown: preserving historic properties and sharing Oregon Wine Country with the world. By joining forces - Anita's background in real estate and Larry's in construction, they have created a solid team in the growing family of Wine Country Properties.

Why they chose this property

Nestled in a charming neighborhood of historic homes, stroll two blocks to McMinnville's Famous Third Street ~ the mecca of Oregon Wine Country. Visit tasting rooms, dine in award-winning restaurants, and savor the moments sifting through local shops. Relax in a luxury 1910 craftsman home, recently restored to its turn-of-the-century charm with modern conveniences. Enjoy the peaceful setting on the front porch or BBQ in the back while dining in the Carriage House under the twinkle lights.

What makes this property unique

Excellent location, fully restored Craftsman Bungalow with outdoor dining in the Carriage House.
