Our favorite home away from home in Corvallis… Nothing beats ShiShi's cottage! Fascinating artwork, fully stocked kitchen, super comfy beds, beautiful garden to explore, relaxing living room for great conversations, reading, etc. It just doesn't get any better than this lovely place!
The cottage is welcoming and has everything you need. it had a great kitchen for cooking home cooked meals for my college student! It had a very relaxing atmosphere. I hope to stay again.
We had a lovely stay while visiting our daughter. The house was very comfortable, well stocked and had everything we needed. Hoping to stay again when we visit.
Great, comfortable stay while visiting our daughter at OSU. Very comfortable bed and a great kitchen that was well stocked. Close to campus for the football game. This was our 2nd stay and hope to visit again soon.
Visiting my son at OSU, and the cottage was perfect! Very relaxing, quiet location. Loved watching all the birds visit the garden in the morning while getting ready.

Thank you, Mary. So glad you enjoyed all the joys of ShiShi’s Cottage. Please come again to visit your son at OSU.
This was a clean, well stocked and beautiful home. Lots of art and the personal notes about the history of the home from the owner made this stay interesting and super comfortable!
Great place to stay on our short trip to OSU! Cottage was very nicely decorated, super clean (and I’m a clean freak), laid out well for a small group and nicely eclectic. Host was wonderful, easy to communicate with. Thank you, we look forward to staying again on a future visit.
This cute but also very spacious cottage is in a lovely neighborhood at the south end of Corvallis. There are nice walking and biking trails in the area.
This property is close to biking/walking paths. Easy to get to downtown and the campus. House is well stocked with everything you might need. It is a lovely, well kept space. Host is very responsive. We really enjoyed our stay.
