About this property

On the river with your own private boat and dock!Moments from downtown!

You won't want to leave here after spending a few days looking out at the river and acres of scenic land across the canal. Very relaxing with the feeling of a great lodge as you listen to the sound of the waterfall! Enjoy your morning coffee in one of 3 beautiful outdoor sitting areas or in the hot tub. Pre's Trail is right across the waterway or if you're wanting a bike ride there are 5 bikes available to enjoy miles of bike trails right outside your door.
Sunsets are amazing around the outdoor gas fire pit as you watch the wildlife. You will feel like you're in a private resort yet you are moments from downtown.
There is also a man cave with a pool table and 80 inch TV. Truly a gem of a property!

We had a wonderful stay at this home over Thanksgiving. The kitchen was absolutely fantastic — fully stocked with equipment, easy to cook in, and perfect for preparing a big holiday meal. The house itself is comfortable, welcoming, and filled with thoughtful amenities that made our stay really enjoyable.It does appear that the owner lives in the home part-time, so there are some personal touches and belongings around, but everything was tidy and well-organized, and it added to the warm, lived-in feel of the space.Overall, a great place for a family gathering. We truly enjoyed our stay!

This beautiful home served perfectly for my small family reunion. The spacious rooms with abundant comfortable seating areas allowed for many wonderful conversations. We enjoyed the view across the dreamy waterway to the open fields beyond. We had a lovely walk along the nearby trails, where we encountered a friendly heron. The host was very friendly and open for questions. Our family will treasure the memories that we made there.

The perfect home for a graduation celebration

We had the perfect 5 days in this picturesque, well equipped home! The amenities were fabulous from abundant entertainment options to extremely comfortable beds to a most well equipped kitchen nestled in a charming neighborhood. This is the perfect home for a family, group of friends or couples sharing a vacation experience.

Fantastic Riverside House

We were 2 families (8 people) in Eugene for UO graduation and this house suited us perfectly. We had plenty of space to spread out and the yard and riverside setting were amazing. In addition we were able to walk to the graduation ceremony at Autzen as it was less than a mile.

Duck Game

The house is perfect for a large group. We were 4 couples in town for a duck game, and the house is in an ideal location to walk to autzen. Hot tub stand up paddle boards and the big screen TVs. Kept us busy. We will definitely rent this place again.

UoO Parent’s Weekend

This house really offers a home away from home to spend time with daughter, her friends and family. Watched Spring footballl and after a short walk back, were able to watch Oregon baseball on big TV in family room. A great place to relax, talk walks along the river. The house offers so much, is easy access to campus and shops snd the hosts really made it so simple to enjoy our stay. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Beautiful Location, But Disappointing Experience. Unfortunately, the overall experience did not meet our expectations, especially compared to other VRBO homes we've stayed in.The house itself was very cluttered, with many areas of the kitchen not properly cleaned. It was clear the property is owner-occupied: closets and drawers were full, personal belongings were everywhere, and there were cars in both the garage and driveway. This made the home feel less like a vacation rental and more like we were staying in someone else's personal space.When we arrived, the house felt muggy and stuffy. The outdoor deck area was dirty and full of spider webs.The listing also failed to mention that the king-sized bed is located on the lower level. Unfortunately, that room was inaccessible to me due to a knee injury, which significantly impacted our comfort. The game room is connected to the garage and could not be aired out properly, making it unusable.After returning home, we shared our concerns with the owner. They responded with photos showing that some areas (like the kitchen and cluttered drawers) had since been cleaned. However, we never received an apology for the condition of the house or the misleading listing.There were other issues we chose not to mention in this review.This property may be better suited for a home exchange platform rather than being listed at full price on VRBO.

Happy Holidays!

We rented the house so we could have a place to gather for a Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day family get-together. The house was decorated beautifully. The Christmas spirit was alive. The house was well stocked, and had everything we needed to cook a full Christmas dinner. Overall, the trip was successful, and we were happy with our accommodations.

Perfect for our couples weekend

We came to visit friends/family and stayed at this wonderful property with one other couple. The house has all of the amenities you need and then some. The back yard is beautiful with so many lounging options. We used the brand new paddle boards as well as the little electric boat; so much fun to cruise up and down the canal. We were able to check in early, and home was very clean. Will definitely return.

If I could give the property more stars I would. The owners are amazing and are available if you need anything. The home is perfect for a getaway. I'll be surprised if you want for anything. The property had so many extras. Plus an amazing view. I can't say enough. I will be back next year.

Beautiful house and yard. Pictures don't do the property justice.

We had multiple generations staying at this house. Very comfortable for 7 people, ranging in age from 17 months to 63. Plenty of room for everyone the back yard is a great escape. Plenty of shade during the day and right on the water so it doesn't feel as warm as it really is. The younger people in the group really enjoyed the little boat the is on the canal. We enjoyed our stay and didn't want to come back to the hot weather and real world.

Got the job done

Overall the property was okay. The location was beautiful and peaceful. The house and outdoor area was extremely cluttered. The house was muggy upon arrival and most of the windows were missing screens, making it uncomfortable for me to leave windows open overnight. Deck area was incredibly dirty. Light fixtures/chandelier partially covered with cobwebs. Probably wouldn’t rent this house again next year.

Disappointed, felt like an unwelcome visitor in someone's home

The location is wonderful, but the house is clearly owner occupied which I don't care for. The drawers and closets are completely full of their things, the refrigerator packed with their food and cars in the garage and driveway. There are notes about not wearing shoes or playing the heirloom piano and cameras everywhere. I felt like I was an unwelcome visitor in someone's home. We have stayed at many VRBO homes, and this was the first one that was a complete disappointment.
