About this property

Secluded property on 14 forested acres, 18 minutes to U of O

Imagine staying at this secluded 14 acre forested 5 bedroom house and barn property in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains.

Enjoy peace, nature and wildlife. Catch a game at the University of Oregon ( Hayward Field / Autzen Stadium 13 miles away). Watch the wildlife from the windows. Explore the Western Cascades. Ski the local mountains. Get creative with art, music, words. Or just chill.

Depending on the season, deer, wild turkeys, families of quail, mourning doves and bluejays/scrubjays will meander past the windows.

EVs welcome! There is a 30 amp outlet on site for charging electric vehicles. Don’t forget your charging cord.

Fitness Center: Pleasant Hill center (5 minutes away) has an excellent fitness center named Just Move Fitness.

Dog heaven 4 minutes away. A beautiful 4 acre dog park on the edge of Elijah Bristow State Park and the Willamette river.

Minimum 3 day bookings.

For us The Barnyard is a labor of love. We spent most of 2022 and 2023 renovating the property and getting it ready to share. Our vision is for The Barnyard to become a destination unlike any other in the area. We want it to be a unique place where the world can be shut out behind 14 acres of Douglas firs, blackberry bushes and grassy meadows, and yet be close to all that the area has to offer: the University, the mountains, the rivers, the restaurants, and the wineries. We continue to work to make it as comfortable and well appointed as possible without losing the rugged and unfussy nature of the place.

Be one of the first to experience this house, barn and forest property. We’d be absolutely delighted to have you be our guest!

Couple of things to consider before booking:

Our goal for your stay at The Barnyard is for you to thoroughly enjoy your stay. Experience has shown that good communications makes for good outcomes. In your booking request, please tell us about yourself and your group...
-expectations for your stay on the property
-any special needs
-age group categories
-favorite forest creature (optional): deer, turkey, fox, bear, leopard, banana slug, barn mouse or...?

Cameras: For added security, there are cameras in several OUTDOOR areas of the property (main gate, driveway, barn, house). Some of these cameras include floodlights, 2 way audio, and motion detection of people, vehicles and wildlife.

Super Easy Checkout:

We don't require the usual checkout chores like stripping beds, starting laundry, dishwasher loading, emptying trash, washing windows.

At checkout time, just grab your stuff and go!

About the "Host" fee on the pricing details...This is where VRBO lumps fees like cleaning and pet fees, etc. Our cleaning fee, currently 490 for the entire stay--and the lions share of the Host fee, reflects the higher cost of getting really awesome and thorough, professional cleaners for this rural property. We've had the same crew for over 3 years and we are confident that you will love their work.

SORRY, NO SPECIAL EVENTS AT THIS TIME.

If there is anything else you'd like to know about the property or the area, please ask. We hope to have the honor of hosting your next stay in the Eugene area!

Warm regards,
Stephen & Suzanne

great house for a group

Members of our rowing team stayed here to race at Dexter Reservoir. The location was perfect, very close to the lake. The house had lots of room for everyone and we still haven't found anything the house lacks. Everything is there for you including a great assortment of teas, tons of towels, a washer/dryer, lots of parking and even a car charger. The owners were very responsive to our communication and checking in and out was easy. This was our second time staying here and we would definitely stay again.

U of O Graduation

Our stay was incredible. The surrounding were pristine and welcoming. Home had everything you could imagine. Bedrooms were very inviting and comfortable. The best part of the property was the driveway to the house! Then seeing the adorable red home and barn. Makes you smile and not want to leave. The grounds were tranquil and wildlife amazing. Our family had a magical time celebrating my son’s achievements. Many memories!Thank you!Liz Benavides- Alonzo

Peaceful Family Gathering

This was such a lovely property and so enjoyable. We had a family holiday gathering of siblings with our children. It felt like home from the moment we arrived. The kids loved exploring and the remote location from the road provided a safe and peaceful setting. We would absolutely return!

Just Perfect!

The Barnyard is a beautiful property. From its spacious, efficient and well appointed kitchen, to the bedrooms and bathrooms, our hosts thought of everything. Our dogs loved the property, too! It was a wonderful place to stay for the weekend, although I wish we could’ve stayed longer. In short, the Barnyard rocks!

OMG So cute!

It’s going to be hard to find a cuter place than this one! This house is nestled in the woods just outside of Eugene. It was spotless and luxurious which was a perfect respite during the three days spent at Nike Outdoor Nationals. We couldn’t believe all of the special touches - every detail was thought of. I wish we could have stayed much longer to enjoy the property more. We highly recommend this place!

Fun family Thanksgiving

We came to Eugene to visit our son and his wife and two young kids. Our other son and partner joined us and we brought my husband’s mother. This house was perfect for us. The single floor layout was great for the kids, ages 1 and 3, and 82 year old grandma. The privacy of the house was great. The kitchen was well equipped for making Thanksgiving dinner. Being dog friendly was a plus for us. The owners were easy to communicate with and welcomed us to have our local son and family over. We greatly appreciated their hospitality. This wonderful place helped ys have a simple and wonderful holiday.

Perfect location, Beautifully furnished rental

Stephan and Suzanne were wonderful hosts being attentive and available to answer any questions and to make sure our needs were met. Check in and check out were easy and instructions were clear. Their rental is beautifully furnished with all the kitchen and bathroom amenities that you could think of. The outdoor porch is a lovely place to relax after a hard day of fun. We were racing on nearby Dexter Lake so the location was perfect. The quiet, secluded property was perfect for winding down and enjoying a wonderful meal. I can't recommend their place enough.

We loved the Barnyard!!!

My family (wife, 8 year old daughter and in-laws) spent 5 magical days on this property. Host communication was excellent. I’ve worked as a chef throughout the US, so I loved that the kitchen was so well equipped for real cooking. Property was convenient to everything we wanted to do…the hiking, river rafting, waterfalls and a trip to the coast. We saw deer, turkeys and quail out the windows and watched the sun and moon rise over the barn. We will definitely look forward to visiting this property again!! Thank you for the memories Stephen & Suzanne!

Barnyard Bonanza!!

From booking to checkout, every aspect was nothing short of fabulous! The “Barnyard” is incredibly appointed with every amenity visitors could ever need. The kitchen is beautiful and welcoming and lacks for nothing in terms of cooking and serving, and, in fact, has many extras! The bedrooms are comfy with plenty of storage and cozy touches. The bathrooms are well appointed and include such touches as tooth brushes and razors for those guests who may have forgotten an essential or two. The property was well maintained and full of deer who visited us daily. We would highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a family getaway, dropping students off for university, or events such as weddings. The owners provided us with many local options for dining, shopping, hiking, rafting and exploring. We will definitely be back, hopefully with more family next time!

Serenity without the long drive

This house was the perfect combination of "secluded privacy" and "close to everything". I enjoyed a cup of coffee each morning on the beautiful porch in the peace and serenity of the forest, yet we were only a short 18 minute drive from the U of O campus. The house itself was immaculate and well stocked with anything you could possibly need during the stay. We enjoyed home cooked meals each day. The kitchen had everything we needed. Everything was high quality, so my cooking tasted even better than usual! There were tons of great walking trails at the nearby state park. We saw a few people fishing and wished we had our poles with us. The hosts were super responsive with all questions and requests. Wish we could have stayed longer! Hope we can come back and enjoy it longer next time.

Most comfortable & homey VRBO I've stayed in!

I've stayed in a lot of VRBOs-this was THE MOST COMFORTABLE & CLEANEST VRBO I'VE EVER STAYED IN! It's apparent that the owners have invested love & thought into this home! All other VRBOs feel like rentals, but not the Barnyard! This place was furnished & supplied as if they really lived there. Everything felt new & fresh. The mattresses were VERY comfortable! The kitchen supplies were so clean I didn't even feel compelled to wash things before using them, like I do in other VRBOs. They had so many soft throw blankets around, I wish we had stayed during a colder season to fully appreciate the coziness! You can tell that the owners were anticipating our needs & wanted us to be as comfortable as possible-as if we were really family borrowing their home! They left out 2 phone charger cords attached to the couch recliner remotes; a couple very nice & new looking rain coats were hanging in the mudroom for our use just in case you were unexpectedly caught in a storm; they even offered travel sets for brushing teeth & shaving! Both bathrooms were very clean and the primary bathroom felt like a spa with the amazing soaker tub & lovely walk-in shower. The purpose of this trip was to explore different areas of Oregon to decide our next hometown. The Barnyard really allowed us to experience what it would be like if we lived there, surrounded by all our comforts of home! I'm very grateful to the owners for sharing their happy place with us! I'd definitely book here again!

Memorable Stay at The Barnyard

We recently met up with friends at the Barnyard and had a great stay. From the time we arrived we felt right at home with everything we could possibly need- and then some! So much thought was put into this place; from snacks on arrival, fully stocked cabinets and dishes, to the toothbrush and toothpaste if you forgot yours. When we stayed in, there were plenty of charging stations for all our devices, solid internet connection, living room had a great TV with lots of seating (and great nature watching from the big front windows!), there’s a table big enough for meals and games. We loved grabbing a glass of wine and heading to the deck that overlooks the barn and wooded area, with super comfy chairs and amazing BBQ grill that we used - a lot! We also got out and visited nearby Owen Rose Garden and Mount Pisgah Arboretum, hiked waterfalls, had dinner, wine tasted and shopped in Eugene. It’s a great place to stay in/hang out or get out and explore the area! Stephen and Suzanne are great hosts and were always available to answer our questions and make recommendations. Thank you for a memorable stay!

Perfect in every way!

I stayed at the barnyard with my family (husband and 4 kids, ages 4-11) and both sets of grandparents. One of our sons participated in the USATF Junior Olympics at Hayward Field which was an easy drive that took less than 20 mins. This place is stunning and perfect in every aspect! My kids kept saying how great it was and rate it way over 5 stars! And the grandparents felt the same way. The entire place is high end from appliances, to comfortable beds, to an amazing entryway/mud room. The patio with comfortable furniture was the favorite place to hang out. It was enjoyed for drinking coffee, reading books, playing games and for the grandparents to enjoy the tranquility while my husband and I put kids to bed! The Barnyard is well cared for and beyond clean. The owners have made sure you will be comfortable and have supplied everything you could possibly need. They also were great to communicate with and even shared recommendations on places to venture out to. If you are looking for a place to stay near Eugene I can’t recommend this place enough. We were all sad to see our time come to an end. We will definitely book again if we make it back to the Eugene area.

Fantastic spot for our wedding

This property is a deal. Get it now while it's a bargain. This place should be priced more like a luxury villa. We chose this property because we wanted a small rural barn property for our wedding venue. Steve and Sue were excited to allow us to plan and hold our wedding in the barn and barnyard. We decorated the barn and adjacent yard area. We'd initially planned to hold the ceremony facing the oak trees and meadow to the south, but the July heat in Lane County caused us to move inside the barn instead. It was a great decision. The barn is rustic, but has a clean concrete floor where we set up chairs, and we stood under the loft at the east end. We used the open barn bay on the south as our food line and put the portapoties on the far north side. After the ceremony we all moved out to the gravel yard area in front of the barn where we put the tables and chairs for dinner, while the band set up inside and the barn and that became our dance floor. The house worked great for us to prepare for the wedding, hold our small rehersal dinner, and had plenty of places for us to get ready. Steve and Sue have thought of and included everything you need for a great stay at their barnyard property. The house is decorated and furnished with nice, new, tasteful things. Everything is top notch. The patio was a nice place to relax in the evenings and the bed was so comfortable we fell right to sleep when we laid down our heads.

Best Service & Foresty Location

This property was so beautiful, fancy, yet cozy! First of all, you feel like you are in your own world here. The property is huge, forested, and private. It is big so you could have a wedding here if you wanted down in the big red barnyard! We had my mother in law, my husband and I, my son, his wife and grandson, and my other son with us. The kitchen and kitchen island and dining table are huge and we had great times playing board games on them. The living room has an electric reclining sofa and 2 of the same kind of recliners plus a long window seat so the whole family could sit and enjoy movies together. The recliners really helped our aching feet! The guitar and keyboard were nice to have and our family enjoyed playing them a bit. We all sat together outside and enjoyed the cozy porch sofa and chairs and the grill was great for our burgers and bratwurst! The beds were super comfy and we slept well! There are so many special touches, it impossible to list them all. First of all, the Barnyard was fully stocked with coffee, toilet paper and paper towels. They even had snacks for us when we arrived which was so nice after the long drive. When I went to wash my face there was a makeup towel anddd I forgot my toothbrush so thankfully they supplied us a few! Andddd shampoo conditioner and soap! Steven and Suzanne went above and beyond and I would stay at any of their locations if they had more! Thank you so so much!!!
