Salem, Oregon
If you need some space to breathe, our country cottage is calling you. We are on 10 acres nestled in the rolling hills of Willamette Valley farmland. Located 6 miles east of Salem and about a 10 minute drive to the quaint town of Silverton (home of the beautiful Oregon Gardens), you'll find we are a short drive to a multitude of attractions and activities for every palette. Our property is situated in the rural pastoral area outside of the cities of Salem, Silverton and Stayton/Sublimity. Most of the land surrounding us is used for farming of grass seed, grapes, wildflower seed, Christmas trees, hay and hazelnuts. Our newly remodeled 600 sq. ft. cottage is furnished and stocked in a way to provide soothing rest for your soul. Read on...
Our cottage is set up as a private 1 bedroom/1.5 bath studio-ish cottage with two beds (sorry, but we absolutely can not accommodate over 2 people) with the comforts of a home in mind. While you may see us out and about on our farm, we will respect your privacy while you stay at the private detached guest cottage. The deck attached to the cottage is private, intended for your use only. Relax with cup of Joe while taking in the pastoral views, or sit by the fire pit and roast your dinner (firewood provided). If you'd rather view the scenery from inside, you are in luck as the cottage is filled with windows that let the natural light in. Styled with an eclectic flair (a little bit retro, a touch of mid century modern, a dash of farmhouse, and a snippet of traditional), furnishings and simple decorations were selected carefully to invite you in!
This cottage sleeps up to two (2) adults. PLEASE NOTE that we are not able to accommodate children or pets/animals. There is a queen bed in the bedroom and a double/full bed tucked behind the living room seating area (all with plush bedding!). The bedroom has a heavy curtain to pull for privacy (hence our description that the cottage is studio-ish). The full kitchen is stocked with basic kitchen gear for cooking in, or a short drive into one of the towns or cities can provide a bite to eat (Salem is about 7-10 minutes, towns of Silverton, Sublimity and Stayton also around 10 minutes, Albany 25 minutes or so, Eugene 45 minutes, Portland area about 1 hour). A cozy sofa and two side chairs will provide you a pleasant viewing area should you want to catch a show on the complementary cable/ROKU TV or use our WIFI for your electronics. The half-bath off of the main sleeping space also houses a full sized washer and dryer (laundering supplies provided) should you require it during your visit. The shower in the main bathroom does have a fold-down bench option. A ductless heating/air conditioning unit will keep you comfortable no matter the weather. During the holiday season there will be a farm themed Christmas tree to enjoy (from after Thanksgiving through the first of the new year).
We are a complete NO smoking property (applies to in the cottage, outside of the cottage, and on the entire property). If you are a smoker this is probably not the best fit for you.
If you'd like to venture outside, the sky is the limit here in God's country! Feel free to introduce yourself to our "working farmhands" alpaca, sheep and free range chickens mowing the grasses in our fields, keeping in mind we ask you to stay on the non-farm animal side of the fences. Or venture farther to hike the many trails in the area, including Silver Falls State Park, visit the famous Oregon Gardens, or head to the coast which is under 2 hours drive away. There are multiple options for visiting vineyards and wineries (as close as 3 miles away), as well as craft breweries. We are also a convenient choice for the business traveler as well, as we are located 6 miles from I-5. we are also a good option for those coming to the area to visit students...Corban University is 8 miles away from us, Willamette University is under 8 miles, and Chemeketa Community College is 10 miles.
We are sorry but we are not able to allow pets/animals in the cottage. The inside of our cottage is a pet-free zone. We have animals that live on the property the cottage sits on - Two farm dogs, working mouser cats, alpacas, sheep and free range chickens can be found here. Therefore bringing an unfamiliar pet/animal to the cottage would not be compatible, and we also want to keep the environment a pet allergy-free zone as we do use this space for our own family members occasionally, who do suffer from certain allergies. Guests should note our resident cat is extremely friendly and will wait on the cottage deck for human interaction (yours!). If you are highly allergic to cats or do not find yourself fond of them, this may not be the property for you. While she is outdoor only, she absolutely wants to be fawned over by all humans, which may cause problems for those highly allergic.
Hosts live on the property in a separate dwelling and are available to assist with questions or concerns as needed. We may or may not be home when you arrive as we stay pretty busy, but you may self-check in with a key code. The cottage and other dwellings on the property do share some yard space (though the deck to the cottage is completely for your use). You will see other dwelling buildings out one side of the cottage windows and will drive by them in your way to your designated parking area. We have included shots in our photos showing the cottage in proximity to the other dwellings. While we do live here, know that we do make an effort to respect your privacy and space, however if our paths cross we will certainly greet you!
This has been one of my all time favorite places to stay—I couldn't recommend it highly enough!!
We have been coming to Salem for 4 years now and this was by far our favorite place to stay. The cottage was more than big enough for my husband and I- then had my daughter and her college roommates visit for dinners, it was amazing! The puppers were sweet and would sit for treats- the cat loved the pets and scratches! We could watch the alpacas graze in the morning and took walks by the goats. It was just close enough and far enough from Salem. We took some time to see the east part of Salem- went to Gallon House Covered Bridge, and the Willamette Pie Company (twice)-highly recommend the Marrionberry pies! Both are must-sees and very close.
Love this property! This is my second stay here and I can’t wait to visit again in the future.
Property is well maintained and has every basic need for a pleasant comfortable stay. Appreciated the quiet location with appropriate proximity to big box stores, tourist spots and dining options. Appreciated the extra security provided by the 2 adorable dogs!
This was a beautiful place to get away to study for a professional license exam. Amazing property and visiting with all the animals were a welcome break from studying. Tiffany is a perfect host, and I truly felt blessed to stay here. I didn’t realize at booking that it is close to a busy road, but I didn’t hear it much inside. I highly recommend staying
This property was amazing! We loved the animals, views and peacefulness! The cottage was so cute and very clean. The pups greeting us as we came up the driveway and the cat coming to hang out with us whenever we were outside helped us get our animal fill while we were away from our fur babies! Everything was perfect! :)
The cottage is in the perfect location! The farm is darling and the serenity is ideal!! The hosts are fabulous! ❤️
This listing exceeded our expectations. The owners have thought of everything their guests might need. The cottage is exactly as shown in the photos; very clean, welcoming, and with views to die for! A very hearty two-thumbs up and five stars for this property!
We stayed here to be close to Silver Falls State Park for hiking, which was awesome as we expected. What we didn’t except was just how awesome this cottage would be. You can tell the host had put in lots of thoughts into all the details of the property, inside and out. We loved the cottage itself, all the friendly farm animals were a huge bonus for us. This was my first VRBO experience and I’m not sure any other location will live up to this property. Thank you for creating this space and sharing it with all of us! ❤️
This was a wonderful little cottage that felt miles from everything but was only a few minutes from great restaurants and not much father from the Trail of Ten Hikes. The cottage was nicely remodeled. The local coffee that was provided was wonderful out on the front deck each morning. The patio furniture was so comfortable and dried quickly so could be used even in it had been raining earlier. They animals were friendly and fun to meet. The hosts have plenty of privacy despite the close proximity. The only thing about this property were the beds-they are extra, extra firm. We prefer a firm mattress but these were beyond our comfort level. A mattress topper would be a simple solution, but I didn’t see many other reviews mention an issue with the firmness.
Great property. We really enjoyed the cottage. The description of the property and amenities were accurately listed and perfect. The hosts thought of everything. We decided to do a crab boil and they even had a pot large enough to accommodate it. One night they even started a fire for us in the fire pit and my wife and I sat out and enjoyed the warm and ambiance. The cottage itself was beautiful and well maintained. On-site instructions for everything from wi-fi to water were included. Kudos to the hosts!!!
No hassles, a quiet restful home away from home. The kitchen was great and had all we needed to make our own meals. The mornings on the deck sipping tea were beautiful. The comfy beds and ac made it comfortable and enjoyable. Very much enjoyed our stay!! Thank you so much!!
Nice getaway in the country. Very clean and comfortable. Highly recommend.
Wonderful property in a good location. Well stocked with everything one would want. The animals were fabulous and well trained. Would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone
If I could give 6 stars, I would. It was everything we needed it to be. Comfortable, Clean and Communication with the owner’s was great. They even had farm fresh eggs available for purchase which made breakfast super easy. Local coffee too!
We enjoyed the comforts of home while relaxing away from home. Close to the Oregon Gardens and Silver Falls state park for easy daytrips. The host was amazing with all the details we could have imagined! We were satisfied with our stay.
