A modern country home—a getaway to paradise!

Located just 7 minutes from city centre McMinnville, this beautiful property blends rural charm with every modern convenience. It features three comfortable bedrooms and ample space to comfortably accommodate up to eight guests, with the capacity to host up to ten people thanks to a queen-sized air mattress available on-site.

The house features a modern style with high ceilings and ceiling lights; the rooms are spacious and comfortable, and you won’t have any allergy issues since there’s no carpet. The fully equipped open-concept kitchen has everything you need for cooking with family, friends, or a team!
The outdoor space is designed for enjoyment and creating unforgettable memories. Relax in the spacious yard, complete with a fire pit and BBQ grill, while the children have fun on the swing set, in the playhouse, or on the private mini-golf course. (We also provide a cot, playpen, stroller, and much more to ensure the comfort of our youngest guests—children under three years of age.)
Contemplating the beauty of nature, watching the horses in front of the house, sunbathing on the terrace, relaxing after a day of work, or simply gazing at the stars from the balcony can bring you peace and a sense of well-being on those days when you just want to recharge your energy to continue your journey!
There’s an outdoor volleyball net set up in the backyard—get ready for a group tournament!

This place was fantastic! Communication with the host was quick and helpful.The rooms were very clean and the decor was awesome.The location of the property was just the right blend of a getaway while having all the conveniences of a small down minutes away.
We had a great stay! The home was nice, the host was friendly, and it was perfect for a short stay while we were in town attending a wedding. We really appreciated that it was dog-friendly.What would have made it even better is if the entire backyard had been fenced in, as that would have made it easier for our dogs to enjoy the outdoor space and more convenient for us.Our only suggestion would be to mow the lawn before guests arrive, especially when guests are bringing their dogs and will be utilizing the yard.Other than that, we enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider staying here again.
This was the perfect house for my husband and I to have a relaxing reset from stressful jobs. Out in the country but close to the downtown. Sitting on the back porch looking at the view was so peaceful and to our surprise sitting on the front porch we not only had views of the horses across the street we also got to see the Amish buggies trotting by. This house and our trip was exact what we needed. The hosts were great and always attentive to our needs. Everything you need is at your fingertips. It’s a great place to stay for a relaxing break. We will be back for sure!
We were in town for a family reunion and this was a great option for us. The house is newer and adorable. There was a TV in the living room for the kids. Beds were comfortable and two full bathrooms was nice. Additionally, I was able to do laundry, which was a big help. We would definitely stay here again!
We stayed for a week. It was my mom and sister and our kids (6 people). The house is very comfortable and cozy. We liked it! There is a limited supply of daily essentials, so make sure to bring your own paper products. There was an ant problem in the kitchen and living room by the front door.

Relatively clean. Listing is a bit confusing as it implies there's either a 4th bedroom or futon. Had to clarify with the owner. There was actually only 3 bdrms and an air mattress.
The host Yenifer was outstanding. The house was very nice and the price was great. The house was pretty clean but the ceiling fans could use to be cleaned they were pretty dusty. All in all It was a great trip and we would definitely stay there again. Thanks for the memories!
My family and I booked the home to get a night’s rest on our road trip, the property was accurately listed, the host was very accommodating and answered any questions or concerns. Getting to the home and accessing the property was extremely easy, everyone slept like babies including our little pup. My family and I would definitely stay here again and I highly recommend this home for others.
First time to stay at this property. Our daughter and family live in McMinnville. Close commute. More stays to come at this property. Thank you for a great stay.
My family and I had a great time in the house. We had everything we needed. Loved the high ceilings in the kitchen and living room. Very well decorated. We could contact the manager at any time. What more could you want? :). Thanks for a great time.
Family trip from CA, 5 of us ages 18-83 stayed 12 days. Nice place to stay, had plenty of room. This is our first time renting through VRBO, learned a lot from the experience. Would not recommend for persons with mobility issues, stairs at front and back, unable to get mom in shower over tub side and no grab bar to hold kind of slippery tub bottom. Again very nice, appears new home, had a little issue checking in but Yenifer was very quick to reply. Thank you for a nice place.
Overall, it’s good! We had a few hiccups in our stay, but the house is great. We arrived later than planned on the first day, thankfully because the water to the house was shut off. No shower, no sink, and no flushing toilets. I messaged the host, who did not respond to my messages, but I was able to get in touch by calling. She couldn’t do anything about the issue until the next morning, but it was fixed first thing. Other times I reached out to the host, she was not quick to respond, but she messaged having a family emergency. The dishwasher was also not working. Those issues aside, the house was great. It was exactly what we needed. I would choose to stay again if needed.
A lovely home that accommodated my daughter and I for 9 nights. Loved the rural setting and yet 10 minutes to stores and also where my mom was staying. The swing in the back yard was a nice treat to just hang out at. The home had all we needed and more. I would have preferred the TV in the living room rather than the master bedroom is the only thing I would change. Yenifer was responsive right away with any questions we had. It was a perfect home and will be back on my next trip to McMinnville.
