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.
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!
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.
Was there for the Washington vs Oregon State football game and the location was just over a mile from the stadium which was ideal seeing Ubers were not cheap. Would stay again if I ever come back to Corvallis.
This is our second time staying here and we love visiting our “home away from home” in Corvallis. The house is clean, comfortable, and fully stocked. It's so close to OSU and in an excellent location for adventures out of town. The owner is very attentive and easy to get in touch with. We love this little cottage!
Booked this great little cottage for graduation and was delighted. Perfect size and everything you could need. Walking distance to campus. Wish we found this earlier!
This is a very cute 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath home that fit us perfectly. The kitchen is small but has modern equipment that works well. It is comfortable and worked well for our family of 4. It is very close to the OSU campus and would work very well for OSU events or visits.
Shi shi cottage was a home away from home with everything we needed. Quiet and peaceful location but close to everything. A very restful place to use as a home base while we explored Corvallis. The use of the washer and dryer was very convenient. The cottage was warmand cosy with clean linen and comfortable beds. We would definitely stay again.
We came to Corvallis on a girls' trip with my mom and two daughters to check out OSU. We had a great time! The beds were comfy, the house was clean and well stocked, and the location was great!
It rained our whole first day, so we played some games and enjoyed a cozy movie night together. I recommend the cute, little cottage!
My second time staying at Shishi's cottage while visiting family in Corvallis… it's a perfect combination of comfort, charm, and location. There is such a special vibe about this house, reflecting a love of art, history, meditation, and nature. I especially enjoyed wandering through the garden full of springtime beauty, and exploring the wooded creekside trails behind the house.
Really enjoyed our visit with family at this cozy cottage. The master bedroom was very comfortable, however the other two beds were smaller than expected. The kitchen met our needs wonderfully, and the big, beautiful yard exceeded expectations. Pleasant living & dining room with comfortable seating. I look forward to staying here again. Tip: I recommend checking in during daylight hours, as it might be challenging to find the key after dark.
My wife, myself, and an adult daughter stayed at ShiShi's cottage for five days at the end of January 2025. The cottage is very "homey" and cozy - very easy to settle in. There was plenty of space, and the upstairs bedroom was a good "work from home" room for our daughter. There wa an abundance of cooking and kitchen utensils, though we didn't use them a lot, as there were plenty of nearby restaurants to try. Internet connectivity was good, there was an easy to use TV, and also plenty of books/games if we were stuck inside by the Oregon winter rain/snow. Overall, it was just what we were looking for - a great base from which to explore central Oregon.
