Cute house, very near downtown McMinnville

Six college friends all traveled to the area for a weekend of wine tasting. This proved to be a great location. We hired the Pinot Car one day, and we spent the second on foot, exploring the local tasting rooms. Walking distance to downtown. Perfect for our group!

Lovely Home

5 adults, a six year old and a pup enjoyed our stay in this fully outfitted home. The pup enjoyed the fully fenced yard and the 6 year old, the wonderful wood play structure. Everyone enjoyed the variety of yard games found in the chest under the patio overhang. The short walk to town to the ice cream and other shops is a nice plus. To quoth the 6 year old, “this place is amazing”!

Fantastic Location for Exploring Willamette Valley

We had a fantastic stay at this property. Very clean, had a good layout for two couples. A short walk to 3rd Street in McMinnville with all the shops and restaurants. The kitchen was well equipped for one night of eating in and grilling steaks. Quiet neighborhood, a nice backyard for relaxing in the morning with coffees and for winding down after a day around a fire pit. Would recommend this to any future travelers coming to the area.

Great Friends Getaway

Great place! Clean, well stocked, centrally located. We walked to McMinnville every day. Drove to the coast and Silver Falls State Park. Sipped wine in the backyard. Was exactly the place we were looking for! Great for adult getaway. Amber and the agency were easy to work with and helpful. Beds comfortable. I’d definitely come back!!

House with Great Location

The property has a great location, which is the main reason why we booked it. The address on VRBO is slightly different than the actual address of the house, but we brought that to the hosts attention and I think they are fixing it. The house was clean and the hosts were very responsive, even after hours, which we really appreciated. The outdoor area is nice and inviting. We would stay here again for the great location.

Nice home close to downtown Restaurants

Easy to work with company. Close to town. Great restaurants within walking distance, sidewalks can be uneven so be careful. Cute town and home. The home was clean and beds were comfortable. The deck chairs and table outback needed a wiping down. That was the only disappointment. Home otherwise was clean.

Super fun and hospitable

It's a really cute place. The bedrooms are comfortable and the air conditioning works well. The bathtub is nice and everything is in good working order. The kitchen is well stocked with appliances and tools. And the walk into downtown is about 3-5 minutes. It's in a residential neighborhood and seems safe. There is a yard in the back with chairs and tables. Overall, no problems, and it's nice and comfortable.

Great house with well thought out details

My family visited Something Blue for a quick weekend getaway and we had a great time. The house has wonderful details all throughout giving great relaxing ambiance. Everything is well maintained in and out of the house. Beautiful art and furniture, comfortable beds and linen, good layout for spending time together, a lovely yard with a play structure that the kids and dog really enjoyed, and a lovely welcome package for our stay. It is within a quick walk of downtown McMinnville allowing you to easily enjoy all the town has to offer. The property goes beyond everything you would normally expect with details such as yoga mats and white noise machines in every bedroom.
