Grants Pass, Oregon
Welcome one and all to Dunmovin'. The Cottage you will be staying in has a 40's vibe, but still has the creature comforts we have all come to expect. Don't forget your fishing pole, this property is on the banks of the Wild and Scenic Rogue River. Lounge by the heated saline pool (April-October), feed the geese, go shopping, or head to any of the amazing restaurants that are just around the corner. I'm in the city limits, so everything is just around the corner. It's my slice of heaven and I'm sharing it with you.
I also have a larger vacation studio apartment it is River facing and poolside with a full kitchen.

Some things I gladly share with my clients include a brand spanking new saline pool that is open April through October (and its heated to a balmy 79 degrees). I also have a tandem bike for those who want to take a day cruise. Although the Cottage doesn't have a full kitchen, it does have a microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker, and a fridge. I have recently added an induction cooktop as well as all necessary cooking items - and some frills- to create a stovetop meal inside the Cottage. Recent guests have been delighted with the addition. While I do not offer a traditional kitchen, I do offer a workaround. You also have access to my grill at poolside and the vintage outdoor table that seats six. If you forget something or find a need for it while staying in the Cottage, don't hesitate to ask. I probably have it.
To open the Big Gate - the code is 1897. You can punch in the numbers on the keypad and then hit #. This will open or shut the gate. You have about 2 minutes to enter or exit and then the gate will automatically close. I try to keep it closed to keep the dogs in. It also keeps out most of the random door to door sales :).
Your door has a keypad as well. You have the option of using a code that is exclusively yours for your reservation or using the August Lock app. You can also download the AUGUST LOCK app on a smart phone and the lock can be opened or closed via the app. On the inside of the front door, you will see a large silver lock. For manual operation, simply turn it to the left to disengage the deadbolt or the right to engage the deadbolt. Most guest prefer to go old school and use a traditional hard key, which you will receive regardless, as you will need the gate fob to access the property. The choice is yours.
To get to the pool, there is a walkway straight out of your front door, in front of the main house garages and to the side of them. Follow the side walkway and you will see the security gate. Lift up on the plastic child lock and pull it toward you. It will automatically swing shut when you walk through. If you accidentally go to the other side of the house, you will find the trash receptacles :) always a good find, and you can get to the pool from there, it's just not as nice of a walk.
Trash receptacles are through the breezeway between the main house and the cottage near the rear of the cottage. The tan receptacle holds recyclables and the dark receptacle holds other trash.
Depending on the time of year you are here, please feel free to pick fresh fruit from the trees (apple, plum, cherry, and sour cherry), or veggies from the garden. I do ask that you close and securely latch each gate you pass through so the dogs do not take a walk about the neighborhood and annoy my neighbors.
Fishing - the fish jump all day long. I watch them from my kitchen window. I've caught them at all times of the day and from on everything from a lure, worm, and balls of fire. Make sure you have an Oregon Fishing License, but it's really relaxing to just walk down there and throw the line in for a few minutes in the evening.
Fire Pit - There is a fire pit poolside and firewood near the west hedge. Feel free to build a fire in the pit, if you plan on staying up and watching stars or roasting marshmallows (I have marshmallow sticks).
Note: I do have two medium-large sized dogs onsite. The are very affectionate and somewhat demanding of attention if they get their way. Neither has ever been aggressive in any way. They will enthusiastically greet you every time you come home, open the door, say their name, look at them... if you do not want them to show their adoration, just tell them to 'go lay down'. They will leave you alone.

Very friendly, responsive, and very clean. Beautiful view of the river.
Great bed ! Very cozy, comfortable. Very accommodating, concerning pets. Nice people,and tasty fresh apples from the tree!
Teresa was amazing she went above and beyond to accommodate all of our needs.The cottage was so cute and had everything I needed to make my stay perfect. I fished everyday and got lots of peaceful rest. I will definitely be back! Thank you Teresa!!
Perfect stopping point on our trip north to visit nearby colleges with my son. Enjoyed the bikes and nearby tennis courts. Looking forward to coming back to spend more time.
My husband and I stayed with our 10 week old for two nights. The cottage is in a quiet neighborhood and is exactly as advertised. Teresa is a super sweet host who gave us a tour of the property when we arrived and made us feel so welcomed. We weren’t able to spend much time at the property due to the reason for our visit but we would love to stay there again and enjoy the river and pool!
Beautiful river view with a wonderful host!
My daughter stayed here while in town for my other daughter's graduation. It was amazing. The property was beautiful and the host was very kind. Thank you!
Very convenient and beautiful property. Didn’t have much time to fully enjoy it but look forward to a return trip.
The owner, Teresa was very welcoming and gave us a tour of the property, our cozy cottage and all the amenities. The cottage is a perfect size for a couple or 3 people as there is a single Murphy bed. It is decorated with wonderful vintage furniture and accessories. The location is very quiet but still a short drive to the historic downtown and parks. Teresa had the cottage equipped with everything you would need as well as a welcome local wine, muffins for breakfast with a wide variety of coffee pod cup choices. Our dog and I took a refreshing swim in her beautiful pool and relaxed on the comfortable pool lounges overlooking the river! It was a very relaxing visit and we hope to return.
The VRBO site did not provide a complete address or a way to contact the host. Only a 4 digit house number so GPS did not work. Three large dogs on the property all very loving and affectionate. Heated pool a huge delight. Beautiful yards with flowers and trees well kept. The host could not have been better, very fun and informative.
Very clean and warm.
Very clean and had everything we needed. Great location on the river and quiet. Nice getaway for us for a few days. Would love to come back when it isn't raining! :)
The host was very friendly & accommodating Loved hers dogs. Will be back and highly recommend
We really enjoyed our stay at Teresa's cottage! It was clean and well stocked with anything we could need. The decorations were unique and interesting, all the extra amenities were thoughtful (candy, muffins, coffee pods, books, puzzles, etc) and the bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed a dip in Teresa's very clean pool and our pleasant visit with her about the Grants Pass area and her gardening interests. Teresa was extremely communicative and responded quickly to all my messages, and she was very accommodating when some of our travel plans changed and we needed a bit of an earlier check in. We will definitely stay at her cottage when we are in the area again. Thanks Teresa!
The Cottage is very nice and decorated very nicely with antique furniture. There is access to the Rogue River to the side of the main house. There are also lovely gardens. Teresa is a great host.
Teresa is a wonderful host and is so warm and inviting, she makes your whole visit there very comfortable. Her hospitality is awesome and the whole property is well maintained and very clean, we are definitely going to visit her again!
This property was very tidy and well-stocked - even with candy! The quiet setting along the river was perfect and we hope to return.
Teresa is a wonderful hostess.
Property is beautifully kept. Flowers and veggies look wonderful. Close to town. Teresa is a great host. She will give you any info you need to make your stay enjoyable.
Such a beautiful property right on the river. The pool was great for the kids, everything was very clean, & Teresa was very kind and inviting. Even though the cabin was on the smaller end, our family of 4 was very comfortable. Teresa installed a brand new murphy bed for one child and allowed us to use a great double high air matress for the other. It was perfect and we're definitely going back as soon as we can.
Everything was perfect!! Host is AMAZING!! What a fantastic, relaxing weekend!!
There was a last minute change of plans for me and added guests. Theresa was ready with an areobed and some delicious cake! So welcoming and we had a wonderful stay, despite the rain. Thank you!
This cottage was just right for me and my small maltese dog. We wanted somewhere quiet, scenic and close to in-town events for a family wedding. The setting is right on a lovely portion of the river in a quiet, secure neighborhood. The small cottage was clean, had a nice setting for simple cooking, and well-equipped bathroom and closet areas. Very pleasant; I will book with this hostess again.
