Wonderful Campus Location

We had a wonderful stay! Enjoyed some close spots to eat and convenient to campus but out of the college feel. Our family of 4 (all adults) had enough room to move around and the property was well stocked with everything we needed.

Beautiful home, great host and neighborhood.

This beautiful home is in an awesome neighborhood within walking distance to the university. A short walk through the neighborhood takes you to a beautiful park full of deer. The house has everything you need and has incredibly comfortable beds. The host has done an amazing job to make sure you have everything you need.

Sweet cottage

Perfect for a weekend stay. Very happy colorful decor and cozy bedrooms. There are quite a few steps if mobility is an issue but it was a great place for us to have as a home base in Eugene.

About the host

Hosted by Lara Rear

In 2005 I took a beautiful trip to Italy. I stayed in my first vacation rental in Rome and I loved everything about it! The next year we went to Greece and stayed in vacation rentals the entire trip~ again it was a wonderful experience. In 2008 after a trip to Germany I came home and decided to turn our newly built Little Pink House into a vacation rental by owner. Since June 6th 2008 I have been welcoming world travelers, U of O visiting professors and parents of University of Oregon students. Some guests come and go and some become friends for life...it's always been a joy!
Since opening the Little Pink House I have stayed in vacation rental properties in 30 countries and I have added five other vacation rental properties to my list of beautiful places in Oregon to visit.

Why they chose this property

Why our property? That is a great question given the inventory in Eugene. When I first opened my doors as a vacation rental we were the 5th property! Now there are hundreds. If you are looking for a clean little house in a beautiful location with a fantastic price tag and owners who love to travel and also love hosting then take a look at the Little Pink House! We love our return guests and hope to soon be 100% word of mouth!
