About this property
Delightful Cottage in Central Eugene
A delightful tiny cottage in Central Eugene (Home of the Oregon Ducks), is located between the Pacific Ocean and Cascade Mountains in the lovely Willamette Valley. Features include serene colors and textures, tall ceilings, and antiques. All furniture and linens are top quality and new for your comfort. Reading a book in the cozy window seat is a perfect way to unwind after a full day of activities. I have two goldens: one a two yr old puppy (rescue puppy from a rescue litter) and an 11 yr old. Both will bark when they see guests. I have been and am still working with a dog trainer to identify and remediate the issues. Much improvement has been made! Ample storage is provided for your belongings. A deep closet with shelves can accommodate most personal items. In addition, space above the 9 foot row of cabinets can store extras. Larger items can be placed in the garage as stated on the checklist. Finally, light fills the cottage through extensive quality lighting, skylight, bay window, and two other large windows. Built with a good sized kitchen, the studio comfortably sleeps 2 adults and 1 child. The w/d and closet space are bump outs into the garage. The overall sq. footage is about 450 sq feet. A ductless heat pump was installed June 2019 for ac and heat.
Your home away from home is off a safe, quiet dead end street, surrounded by lovely gardens. Bungalows, Cottages, Tudors, Atomic Age Ranches, and Craftsmen homes were built in the neighborhood, creating an interesting flat walking tour through one of Eugene's older neighborhoods. Plenty of patio seating is available to take advantage of our perfect Oregon summer and fall. Next to the Amazon bike trail, easy access to Eugene is available. In addition, the rapid bus system is just a few blocks from the cottage. An easy walk will get you to major venues in Eugene: the U of O, Hult Center/Cuthbert Amphitheater/The Shedd, library, Saturday Market, fine dining, and many recreational opportunities. Also, several parks are sited close to the cottage. A small breakfast of yogurt, fruit, coffee, tea, and creamer will be provided Keywords: Studio,Guesthouse,Cottage

Description is spot on. This is a delightful little cottage. Clean, comfortable and warm. Carole checked in with me to make sure everything was well. Well earned five star and will stay there again!
This was a wonderful little cottage. Very comfortable and easy to access different places in Eugene. The host went out of her way to ensure we were comfortable and provided thoughtful extras like fruit and granola.
This is a private studio apartment that is well-appointed. You will enjoy the owner’s beautiful garden! This was my second stay and I will book it again!
I've been staying at Carole's cottage for the past 7 years, and it's always wonderful! Carole is an attentive, delightful host, the cottage is clean, and the location can't be beat. Plan to return in 2025!
Carole’s place is wonderful! Surrounded by beautiful flower gardens and a wonderful patio. She is a great hostess and the unit has special amenities including a variety of coffees. A great find!
Its an ideal location and the studio was equipped with everything one needs. I’d recommend it to my friends

Incredible long weekend in Eugene in a perfect cottage and a wonderful residential neighborhood. We took the bikes and ride everywhere with incredible safe bike lanes! Easy ride to UO and surrounding parks and trails! We’ll be back!! Cottage was fully stocked and immaculate! Thank you!!
What a charming cottage with all the amenities needed. Loved the espresso machine and looking out the window at the garden and pink roses. Will definitely be back. Very sweet hostess.
This studio was a perfect retreat for me during a busy working weekend. Amenities were all just what I needed. Loved the breakfast items that were thoughtfully provided. Flowerbeds around the property are stunning! Quiet, safe neighborhood close to downtown. Will be staying here again.
We arrived later than expected, but our host greeted us and showed us around. Very hospitable and had great recommendations and local knowledge. We stayed 3 nights and we felt she went above and beyond. We would definitely stay there again. The backyard apartment was clean, had laundry, and we appreciated the espresso machine.
Tucked away in a lush garden behind a lovely home in the heart of Eugene, sits this truly exceptional property. Not only is it charming, its ingenuous design makes the best use of space we’ve seen in a VRBO. Spotless, warm, welcoming, and comfortable. Carole, our host, was beyond helpful. A+!
Amazing cottage with the best host we’ve ever had. 10/10 would recommend. Baby friendly. Clean. Perfect location in Eugene. I can’t express how much we enjoyed our stay. 10/10!
We got to stay in this adorable cottage for two nights while visiting family in Eugene. My nephew is a police officer and he was very pleased with the safe location of Carole's cottage. You can tell that Carole put a lot of thought into every need/want of a traveler. I loved the books!! It was a delight!
This is the second time I’ve stayed here. If it’s available whenever I return to Eugene I will definitely book it. Carole is a very friendly and helpful host. The room has everything I need, including a washer and dryer. There’s a beautiful view of her lovely garden. I feel very comfortable and safe staying here. I highly recommend this perfect place for one or two people.
Seriously, this place is a must-stay if you have 2 or fewer folks who don’t need a lot of space. I could imagine staying here for an entire month quite easily given the thinking that went into the design of this clean, comfortable cottage. There’s a full sized washer and dryer, a dishwasher, a comfy bed, a nice bathroom - I was on a long cross-country road trip from Texas and wished I was staying another week! Carole was so wonderful to visit with and helpful with everything I needed. I’ll be back again with my wife next time we visit Eugene for sure!
I am so lucky to have found Carole's cottage. It is a gem in West Eugene. The cottage is well appointed with a comfortable bed and stocked kitchen. It is in a cute neighborhood with a few restaurants and parks. Carole was such an accommodating host and helped make my trip so special. I was solo parent traveling with my baby, and Carole was able to provide a crib and high chair, allowing me to pack more efficiently. Carole was quick to respond to my questions and requests, and it was a pleasure to get to chat with her and meet her cute puppy during our visit. She suggested a delicious pastry shop, Noisette, near the cottage, which was a lovely way to end our visit.
When life’s circumstances suddenly change, opportunities arise, or when your “Travelin’ Jones” takes ahold and will not be quieted —
There is a little cottage nestled in a courtyard; a refuge in the city — a university town, and a truly historical Oregon style studio.
With a unique fusion of the best of the old ways, peppered with youthfulness — spiced with vibrancy, engaged minds, eagerness and enthusiasm — such is the flavor of the locale of Carole Carlson’s Eugene cottage.
She welcomes the weary, the anticipatory, the jubilant, those fraught with bittersweet fondness or the sting of saying goodbye, the joy of a Pacific Northwest sojourn — all while experiencing the lush gateway of nature; indulging in the arts and music; immersing oneself into a diverse culture and cuisine; or lazily visiting and imbibing in the harvested fruits fermented into the fine wines of the Willamette Valley vineyards.
Speaking straightforwardly, the two of us could not have found a better place to lay our heads down and stay awhile…Thank you most sincerely, Carole, for your grand hospitality.
