We loved this quaint and rustic property! It was tucked away from the bustle of town on a beautiful, peaceful property! The bed was very comfortable. The property manager was great at communicating and made the check-in process very easy!

Beautiful property, easy check in process and communication. However, the place smells old and there was evidence of mice and ants.

Improvements

Pleasant stay but there was an odor of skunk in the evenings, Wi-Fi was not consistent, the gate did not open automatically to exit two of the three days, there wasn’t any cream for coffee, the lighting could have been better, and it would have been nice to have heat in the bathroom.

Lovely but dripping faucet

Lovely spot, cozy, clean and comfortable. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because there was an issue with the faucet, which dripped constantly, gradually over several days just running hot water all the time and made it difficult to get cold water.

How does a place get a Premier Rating?

Disappointed in the outside up keep from the appearance of the entry gate (Moss growing on gate) and front entrance ( spider webs). Ant traps throughout the place. Our third night we had a mouse run across the floor. Packed up and left with two nights remaining (no notice given). Very disappointed.

Rare Magical Property

We enjoyed this hidden gem secluded next to the Willamette River with lots of song birds, ducks, & vegetation around the banks. The quiet sprawling country estate is perfectly secluded back from the highway. Our ground-level cozy Bunk House had a scenic focal-point bay window & abundance of literature for guests. We never turned on the TV during our relaxing 3-night stay. Enjoyed flowing streams with benches on this well-manicured estate. This VRBO felt like something from a storybook. Very rare, wonderful experience. March 2023.

Bunk house - rustic

Overall good. Would be nice to have more modern tv with HDMI input options. There was food in fridge when arrived, weird. Also shampoo/conditioner bottles in the shower, weird. Recommend turning some heat on for guests prior to arrival, it was icebox when arriving from AZ

Peaceful, Private and Quiet

Neat little spot, had everything you need. Bed was very comfortable. Unfortunately a bit hard (cumbersome) to find and although clean was a bit musty until we were able to air it out. Briefly met Angela, she was very nice. The bunkhouse is very convenient for us, we'll stay here again.

"Ultimate relaxer"

Great little relaxing place to stay! Simple, rustic accommodations in a beautiful setting just minutes from downtown and west Salem. Loved the place, sorry we missed the horses....That would have been pure heaven for us.

100 acre wood

The landscape was perfectly groomed, the dog greeting was on point(my personal favorite), and the natural surroundings (e.g. river, wild birds, etc.) are a must see. The rustic decorum in the efficiency gives a ranch vibe. For the price I paid, I expected a cleaner space and was hopeful for a refund on my cleaning deposit. Hoping for a follow up text from the property manager. Thank you for making your property a beautiful alternative to a standard hotel.
