This cozy space, nestled behind our main house, welcomes you with a private entrance and a convenient kitchenette. Plus, enjoy access to a beautiful deck, and fire pit area exclusively for guests. You'll love the peaceful atmosphere and the mid-century style with live plants, lots of natural light, and captivating art—all while savoring views of our majestic Redwood tree.

As you step inside, you'll find yourself in a spacious living room where a Smart TV with streaming services like Netflix and Amazon provides entertainment, while high-speed internet ensures you stay connected. The room is filled with natural light and live plants, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. It also showcases charming mid-century decor, adding to the fun and stylish ambiance (By the way, all the art in our cottage is either painted by David or from our personal collection. If you spot a piece of art you like, don't hesitate to ask about it!)

Adjacent to the living room, you'll discover a convenient kitchenette with essentials to meet your basic cooking needs. Here, you can prepare a quick snack or brew a fresh cup of local coffee, which we provide as a welcoming treat. The kitchenette is equipped with a mini fridge, microwave, hot plate, French press coffee maker, and all the basics.

The bathroom is equipped with a shower, hair dryer and essential toiletries. Next to the bathroom is the bedroom - many guests write us about how much they love our queen bed! Get ready for a peaceful night's sleep in this super-cozy bed complete with extra pillows and blankets.

And as you step outside, you'll find a wonderful private deck, just for you. This outdoor area includes a fully fenced shared backyard where you can relax and enjoy the beautiful Redwood tree and the peaceful surroundings.

Comfortable, cozy cottage

This was my second stay at this property. The cottage itself is a perfect blend of comfort and style. Tastefully decorated, it exudes warmth and coziness. The kitchenette is equipped with the necessities but when in McMinnville, it's always fun to explore some of the wonderful local restaurants. I personally haven't used the outdoor space but there's a comfortable seating area and a large back yard with a gorgeous, old redwood tree as the centerpiece. This cozy cottage is a hidden gem. It's the perfect retreat for a single person or couple looking to relax, enjoy picturesque landscapes and indulge in world-class wine. Highly recommend!

Perfect wine-country retreat

This home was exactly what we were looking for. Lots of charm and retro style. Plenty of room for the two of us. Located in a very quiet residential neighborhood. Fun to look out the window and see the chickens free-ranging. The owner-supplied coffee was fabulous. Would definitely stay here again.

Cozy place

Pros: location, cleanliness, amenities. Suggestions: Just some little things. Put a handle on the gate. It’s difficult to close from the outside as is. Move the hanging plant in the bedroom. It makes banging your shin on the corner of the bed more likely. The Roku remote didn’t work properly sometimes and the streaming buffered badly the first night on Netflix. It worked better when I logged into my Prime Video account. But there was always a lag between the time you press a button and the response on the screen. Weak stream from the shower head. Consider removing the restrictor from it. Also, it takes quite a while for the water to get hot. Sorry if this sounds like a lot. We really did enjoy our stay.

Oasis in Oregon

This is a lovely cottage located behind the owners' home. The photos were a mirror image of what I saw when I walked in the door, which is not always the case. Everything was very clean and organized and Lisa answered all my text messages very quickly. And, she even brought me fresh picked blueberries from their garden!

Lovely Property, Friendly Hosts, Great Location

My husband and I stayed at the Redwood for a long weekend. We were in town from Philadelphia to celebrate the wedding of a close friend, and built in a few extra days to explore Portland, wine country, and the charming town of McMinville. Everything about our stay was perfect. The Redwood is comfy, cozy, and stylish and the location can't be beat. The hosts were friendly and accommodating to our unexpected late arrival. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Lindman

Host profile image
As long-time locals and Super Hosts for 6+ years, David & I love being hosts! We're a busy family of four, but we always make time to ensure our guests have a fantastic stay. Our two kids are our pride and joy—in fact, we named our historic house after our daughter! I’m a digital ads expert, artist, and writer, while David is also an artist and excels at construction projects, including the restoration of The Clementine and the stunning interior design of The Redwood. We can't wait to welcome you and ensure you have a memorable stay. See you soon!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this house right away- badly- mainly because of the redwood tree and the huge yard. :) We also love how quiet and family-friendly the neighbor hood is while also being super close to third street.

What makes this property unique

We are always adding more touches to make our cottage unique. Most of our visitors have mentioned how relaxing and surprisingly big the space is. We've hung vintage art from David's collection throughout the cottage and every item was hand picked by us. The queen bed is loved by everyone - it's so cozy! Our place is perfect for a quick trip to downtown and also central to many wine tasting spots and resturants. There will be some very cool additions coming soon!
