BunkHouse Retreat at Minto-Brown Island Salem Oregon

This place is just heavenly. The grounds are beautiful. I felt safe and secure. The property backs up to a state park. Cabin feel, comfortable bed, nice amenities, Very thorough instructions about entry, Gated. This is a very quiet serene place to stay. I loved every minute of it!

Everything was great! Angela was easy to contact with a couple questions we had. Looking forward to coming back in the spring!

I loved the quiet and wildlife of this property. I found that I was a little cold, but resolved with extra blankets.

Great rustic hideaway. Nothing fancy. Just you and the Duck Pond animals. Like living on a farm including barn wood smell and authentic mineral laden well water. I loved it.

Quiet and quaint with cottage-like charm.

So grateful to have this sweet spot as our temporary home while buying and then moving into our new home in Salem. It was so peaceful-beautiful! And Angela was so quick to respond..so flexible with our changing schedule. Highly recommend.

I needed a quiet place to rest and recover for a few days following surgery. This place was perfect. It was so quiet except for the sounds of birds chirping. Bunny rabbits and chipmunks played in the front yard. Angela thoughtfully provided an updated and very comfortable recliner which became my go to place to be. If you're looking for quiet and serenity, this is the place.

Mushy bed mattress, needs replaced. No WiFi connection for browsing internet. Too dark at night, feel unsafe, needs more night time perimeter lighting. Private Railroad crossing a hazard, crossing very primitive, may damage underneath your car? Booking agent argumentative personality.

The grounds were absolutely beautiful. The location to the park was fabulous. We loved the flowers, the serenity of the area and views. Very quiet property. The shower is very clean. There is no pony. The porch/door/outdoor lights were so covered in cobwebs and filth, it was uncomfortable to sit outside. It really needs to be made clear there is no kitchen or grill. There is only a microwave and toaster oven. The description lists a gym. There is no gym. There is a door from the bathroom that leads to a weird, dark storage area that leads upstairs and outside.(no lights) The door cannot be locked which is not ideal. I texted Angela that there were no washcloths available. She texted back that I could find extra supplies in the closet. There were still no washcloths anywhere in that bunkhouse. The lighting situation is horrible. There are no overhead lights at all, although there are lamps. It’s very dark. The sheets were clean. However, the other bedding smells very musty and dirty. The pillows are made of plastic, like the mattress pads once used on toddler beds to protect from urine. Very loud, crinkly and uncomfortable.

Really enjoyed it, but could not figure out hte internet. Nice and quiet.

My feelings about my stay in the bunkhouse are mixed. I enjoyed the quiet atmosphere with nature all around the bed was comfortable. I spent almost all of my time there, except when I was in bed on the porch, which I enjoyed. What I didn’t like was this; the room was very dark and stuffy. One chair was reupholstered with tape, and the loveseat had no padding. What offended me was that I specifically asked Angela that they’re not being any fragrance and she told me there would not be; the place was full of artificial fragrance that never did clear out, even though I located three different sources that were pumping fragrance into the space and put them on the porch. The screen door does not close and I had to deal with a yellow jacket in the house on two occasions. The front porch is covered in cobwebs. The handle of the screen door on the inside is covered in cellophane tape and very unpleasant to handle. And lastly, the electrical arrangement is sorely in need of an upgrade as shown in my second photo.

Very peaceful & relaxing. Clean & comfortable bed. The property had lots of trees & other plants & flowers as well as wildlife. We enjoyed having our meals on the porch with such a beautiful view.

Loved the location. Cute place. Rustic but also comfortable.

A relaxing country visit only minutes from Downtown!
