About this property
Location! Historic Downtown~Cowls Bungalow & Carriage House, Fenced Dog-Friendly
Nestled in a charming neighborhood of historic homes, stroll two blocks to McMinnville's Famous Third Street ~ the mecca of Oregon Wine Country. Visit tasting rooms, dine in award-winning restaurants, and savor the moments sifting through local shops. Relax in a luxury 1910 craftsman home, recently restored to its turn-of-the-century charm with modern conveniences. Enjoy the peaceful setting on the front porch or BBQ in the back while dining in the Carriage House under the twinkle lights.
As you enter the Cowls Bungalow from the covered craftsman porch, you'll be greeted by the magnificent refinished hardwood floors, complemented by original wood trim and built-ins throughout the home. This 1,100 sq. ft home with high ceilings boasts a spacious open floor plan that seamlessly blends the living, dining, and kitchen, perfect for creating new memories. Meanwhile, the electric fireplace encased in a stone hearth adds a touch of warmth and ambiance.
The Bungalow has two private bedrooms with luxury bedding and pillows, separated by a hall bathroom. The primary bedroom has a king-sized bed with a small private bath and tile surround shower. The second bedroom is a queen-sized bed with ample closet space.
One of the highlights of this property is the fenced-in yard, providing a safe and private space for you and your furry friends. The historic carriage house offers a unique outdoor dining experience with a barbecue setup and charming twinkle lights, creating a perfect ambiance for al fresco meals.

About the host
Hosted by Wine Country Properties
She had the Wine Country Farmhouse, and he had the Walter Link House, which is how Anita and Larry met. Well.... it was at the UFO Festival, but that's another story. The result was another vacation rental, and now another one along the way. Both are natives who grew up surrounded by the wine industry. As a kid, Anita picked grapes during harvest on one of the first vineyards in Dundee. Larry was raised on a farm in what is now the McMinnville AVA. Like Salmon, they returned after exploring the world to pursue their passion in their hometown: preserving historic properties and sharing Oregon Wine Country with the world. By joining forces - Anita's background in real estate and Larry's in construction, they have created a solid team in the growing family of Wine Country Properties.
