About this property
Capitol Cabin! Designer Home w/ Soaring Windows
TREAT YOURSELF with this luxury cabin that will make you feel like you truly "got away" despite being in the heart of the capitol city. Nothing can quite replace that bone-deep relaxation that a cabin in the woods can deliver, and these cedar-lined walls and sky-high ceilings offer you just that.
You get to step back in time when you enter the Capitol Cabin, to the 70s to be exact. The rich colors and fancy architecture will so transport you that you will ask, "Am I in a movie right now?!"
The space
You will finally accept that you are, in fact, playing the starring role in this movie called LIFE! Switch on the record player, pour a cold drink, and stretch out in front of floor-to-ceiling glass windows to soak up the sunshine.
Guest access
The whole place is yours. Enjoy!
Other things to note
As wonderful as they are your fur-babies need to stay home or with a friend. We have severe pet allergies in the family and can't risk exposure.
Per licensing rules, this home cannot exceed 4 adults. Thank you!

About the host
Hosted by Heather Rauh
Design! I love it!! I want to create spaces where people feel inspired. Able to rest, cook, and bond with those they love. All while feeling they have all they need and more to create memories that become foundational in their relationships.
I am married to my husband of 12 years. We have three young children and nine chickens. We are grateful every day to be a part of the Salem community. And we delight in being able to share the Capitol Cabin with you during your travels.

Why they chose this property
My partner and I were immediately captivated by this custom home. The natural lighting, the angles, the materials, and even the size. It is art. My kind of art. A thoughtfully sculpted house, brimming with character and natural texture. The Capitol Cabin is sculpture that you get to eat, love, rest, and sleep in.
Our initial intention was to buy a property on the beach as our first short-term rental. But when this house came on market here in Salem, where we live, I couldn't stay away. It was exactly the short of house my husband and I would live in if we had chosen to not have kids. That said, we have 3 young children we love dearly, so a two bedroom house is not going to suit our needs at this time.
"But why not when we are empty nesters?" we asked ourselves. That would be the perfect time to own this home. And we want to have short-term rentals, so why not this one. It is perfect, with so much style, and nearby to our personal home in Salem. So why don't we buy our future home -- the 15-years in the future home -- now, share this beautiful architecture with travelers, and be halfway through our mortgage by the time we are ready for it? Why not indeed?
So here we are. Throwing our own style, attention to detail, and creative expression on into a home that we now get to share with you. We hope you enjoy your stay!!

What makes this property unique
Unique three-tier home design, cozy urban cabin vibe. 14' ceilings, 10' south-facing windows with made-to-order linen curtains, natural wood inside and out. Remarkable amount of natural light, with noteworthly light fixtures for after dark.
Double door entryway with coat closet accessible from short walkway and interior garage door. Staircase leads to open concept living room, with a second, shorter stairway to the kitchen/dining area. Hallway leads to back bedrooms and bathrooms. Two-level deck situated within modest, sloped backyard. Private patio with bistro table and chairs accessible from both bedrooms.
