About this property

Location! Location! Location! Easy access to everything Eugene, arts to outdoors

This quaint and charming home is centrally located ,in the heart of downtown Eugene, Oregon. It is only a brisk walk from the eclectic Whitaker / Blair Boulevard neighborhood with its many ethnic restaurants and grocers, gourmet dining establishments and great music venues. One of Eugene's best bakeries is only a few steps away! Deliscious! The Pizza Research Institute and Papa's Soul Food Kitchen are extraordinary and Sam Bond's Garage is a popular music venue for local, and not so local, artists. Just down the way a bit is the Hult Center where touring companies bring theatre and music to Eugene and where the notable Eugene Symphony, the Mozart Players and the Bach Festival perform to the delight of local and international audiences. For a change of pace , take public transportation, or drive,the short distance to Matthew Knight Arena, Autzen Stadium, Hayward Field or PK Park where top notch athletic competitions never fail to thrill and inspire.


Setting: The Madison Guest House greets the visitor with an inviting country garden displaying a variety of seasonal flowers and shrubs that soften the urban landscape and lend a tranquil air to the cottage. Tucked behind a cedar enclosure you will find a quiet oasis with space for relaxing, reading or meditating as well as for casual dining...

Beer: Micro brews are another part of the culture and economy of the area that has seen steady growth in popularity. Home brewing is also well supported in the region and worth investigating. Several establishments in Eugene specialize in local brews and offer tastings periodically.. Some of these are within walking distance of this property..

Throughout Oregon wine has become a prominent part of the culture as well as the economy. Within Eugene and the Willamette Valley are some of the best wines produced domestically. Wine tasting tours , barrel tours, are offered at various times during the season. Tasting rooms are located throughout Eugene and are easily accessible by foot, pedal, bus or car.Micro brews are another part of the culture and economy of the area that has seen steady growth in popularity.

Charming, comfortable and well stocked!

This charming house is deceptively roomy, has comfortable seating and beds and literally has everything you could possible need. I have never stayed in a rental with more supplies in the kitchen and bathroom and laundry room than this place! If I'm in Eugene again, I would definitely want to stay here!

Perfect little house!

We arrived very late in the evening because of our travels and getting in was easy, and the house was welcoming. We had everything we needed. The kitchen was stocked and considering we made thanksgiving dinner there that is saying something! The bedrooms and bathrooms we comfortable and access to everything was easy. Loved it

Great location

The property was very comfortable for our week long stay. We especially enjoyed the local restaurants and pastry shop around the corner. The kitchen is well stocked as are the towels in the bathroom. Be aware that 24 trains travel through Eugene each day, so their whistles are heard wherever you are in town.

Short trip

We stayed here for four nights. The house is so homey and amazing. My kids loved the board games. We had a friend over and had dinner at the amazing kitchen table. The couches and beds are all exceptionally comfortable. Everything is well stocked. The owner is great at communicating. The neighborhood is pretty typical Eugene. So it can seem a bit alarming but the location to everything is astounding. Sweet life bakery is right around the corner and has the most amazing dessert. Overall we loved our stay. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Wedding Trip

House was unique and comfortable. Really enjoyed patio. Beds were cozy with great linens. Plenty of amenities in kitchen. Location perfect to downtown. However, there was a homeless camp directly across the street. But this seems prevalent in downtown area. No one bothered us at all.Overall great stay

This is a delightful place to stay. It is a very comfortable and cozy house to stay at. The beds and pillows were excellent, the heating/cooling unit worked well, and it was a very well stocked kitchen. It is a roomy 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house in a very walkable neighborhood. The best part might be having Sweet Life Patisserie just a block down the alley.

Not the Eugene i remember...

Great House. Great Host. You can tell much thought and effort has been put into making this property special. Loaded with everything you will need to have a comfortable stay. Lots of great restaurants close as a 3min walk. And there lies the problem.This area is full of the homeless. People living in tents and vehicles right next to property. Garbage everywhere. The walks for food were scary. We were harrased everytime we left the house. Theres a constant threat to personal and property safety by the nonstop parade of vagrants around the house/cars all day and night. At checkin we were informed not to leave ANYTHING in our cars. For good reason, i found out. My heart goes out to the owner. It is a very difficult situation. If this house was located elsewhere i would rent it again. However when i do return to stay in Eugene it will be in a nice hotel. In a different part of town.Take what you want from my review. The tax paying residents of Eugene should be ashamed and embarrased by what that town has become.
