About this property

Elegant Villa Near University of Oregon and Matthew Knight Arena

There's a video of the house on this website which will give prospective guests a good idea of the layout. This lovely home, built in 1926 and extensively updated, sits overlooking the University of Oregon. Fairmount Blvd.,one of the most prestigious streets in Eugene, is a short walk from the University and the Matthew Knight Arena. (Great for events including the U of O woman's and men's basketball!)

The fully equipped kitchen had granite counters, two drop-in gas cooktops, two refrigerators, dishwasher, garbage disposal and a lovely antique dining table that seats twelve.

The balcony/covered deck with gas barbecue and outside dining table has a magnificent view that makes it a perfect place to cook and entertain friends.

All rooms are fully furnished with king, queen or standard double beds. Linens, towels, paper products and all household items provided.

The owner's have a separate space below the house used as their office and storage for supplies for the house.

We are delighted to welcome family gatherings at our home. However we do not permit weddings.

Christmas in Eugene

A perfect home for a large family Christmas gathering. Beautifully decorated for Christmas! Quality home in a beautiful neighborhood. A short walk to Hendricks Park with restaurants (try Agate Alley) and shopping (Market of Choice was great) less than a mile away. Everything you need is in the kitchen, all the common spices and condiments, and the hosts don't skimp on paper towels, tissue, etc. like some do. The dining room table seated all 12 of us easilyWendy is a gracious host and great communicator.This three story, uniquely split level home has eight very nice bedrooms as well as a large, beautiful Master Suite. We had a wonderful stay.

Perfect place for large group

This is my 2nd visit to Wendy's place and it was perfect for the work retreat I hosted with my staff. There are plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms to suit the needs of our large group. We loved the neighborhood and would love to come back in the summer to enjoy the outdoor space. The bed I had in the primary bedroom was very comfortable. We also appreciated the double microwave, double oven and large table for meal times. We will almost certainly be back for a 3rd visit

Family get-together

Family members from various locations met together in Eugene. House could not have been better! We were all together under one roof yet, due to the size and layout of the house, we had our privacy. Everyone in our group mentioned how perfect the home was for us. Wendy was attentive and accommodating - easy to recommend this property to others.
