    The home is cozy and beautifully decorated. We really appreciated the little things, too, like plenty of towels plus baggies and kleenex. The creek and property are lovely, a relaxing place to hang out. This is by far the prettiest house we saw in the historic district. Great renovation work and cheerful/welcoming yellow house. I have stayed at many, many VRBO properties through the years and this was the best experience of all of them. Thanks to Jay for the helpful convo about the area just before we arrived!

    We stayed for a week in this wonderful home with our 2 dogs. The first 2 nights we had our kids with us before we dropped them off at summer camp. The house was perfect. Extremely clean, and stocked up with everything you might need. The beds are very comfortable. We absolutely loved the yard/garden. We had most of our meals outside on the patio listening to the river rush by as the dogs played on the grass. The house is close to tons of delicious restaurants (the breakfast place down the street is unbelievable!). There is nothing I would change about our stay. Thank you for sharing your charming home with us, can’t wait to come back.

    This absolutely beautiful home was the perfect place for my mom and I to stay for our Willamette Valley garden tour vacation! It exceeded our expectations in every way, and I highly recommend it if you want to stay in a gorgeous house in a great location next to a magical creek! I’ve stayed in many vacation rentals, and this one was by far the best!! A

    We came to visit our daughter who attends Willamette University. The property was in a quiet neighborhood and you could walk to the University and downtown Salem. The home and kitchen were well equipped for all our cooking needs. Had puzzles and games and YouTube TV and was pet friendly for our dog. This is our 2nd stay at this property and plan to stay there again in the future.

    This beautiful, darling yellow house in Salem is THE best vacation home we have ever rented (and we have traveled all over the world). It is immaculate, very well appointed with everything you need in any situation. The house itself is beautifully designed with comfortable, high end furniture that is cozy and great for hanging out. Even though it is a historic home it offers all the modern amenities that you are looking for. The location and gardens, next to the creek, are tranquil and serene offering comfy furniture to sit in the sun, listen to the creek and enjoy a BBQ. The host is amazing and gets everything ready for your arrival. Our only regret is that our trip was so short. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

    Our family came to the area for our son’s college graduation. The historic house was so charming, clean and had everything you need for a very comfortable stay. The location was so pretty and we loved sitting in the backyard beside the creek. All the beds were so comfortable, even the pullout couch! Lots of blankets, pillows, towels! Jay, the property manager, was so friendly and a pleasure to work with! Sad to leave.
