Enjoyable stay

Traveled to Corvallis to visit my uncle with my parents. We enjoyed our stay at Verna. Communication was excellent when dealing with a minor issue. Beautiful neighborhood. Well kept home- felt like home not a rental. Plenty of space for the 3 of us. Would love to stay again on my next visit to Corvallis.

A Visit With Granddaughter

We traveled to Corvallis to see our granddaughter who is at OSU. Your Verna was such a lovely older home and very clean and well kept! We only had 5 days but we enjoyed it so much! Corvallis is a beautiful city. We went to the farmers market by the river on our last day and had a good time. We also drove to the coast two different days. We went whale Watching ( didn’t see any which was disappointing ) Then on another day we went to an aquarium in Newport. The aquarium was my favorite 😊 Overall was a very good visit! Thank you for sharing your home!

Beautiful Historic Home close to OSU

Verna was the perfect spot for visiting my Beav. The house had everything we could possibly need to make us feel at home, lots of extra touches. Beds were comfy, kitchen had all we needed to cook (even though we didn’t) & the porch was a great spot to hang out. A very short walk to the OSU campus- right by Sierra, Tebeau & McNary. We will most definitely be back.

Lovely home for a special weekend

This beautiful home was the perfect home base for us to stay (3 g’s) during OSU grad week/end celebrations. Everything is lovely and the kitchen is very well stocked for a family who enjoys cooking together. The front porch and backyard were great spaces to enjoy our downtime between events. We took advantage of the opportunity with all the family together and hired the photographer who shot our daughter’s cap and gown session to come to the house for a family session in the backyard which was perfect! We’re so proud of our girl but we’re sad to pull away from Corvallis. Definitely leaving a lot of heart in that town. Thank you for sharing your lovely home!

Great Corvallis Weekend

The house was as advertised. Amazing location near campus and made for an easy trip to the aquatic center for a swimming weekend. Communication was simple with the owner. Will stay again our next visit.

Perfect home in a great location!

I booked this home for myself and a couple of girlfriends so we could visit with my daughter at OSU. The location was perfect. I had ankle surgery so I can’t walk too far, but we were just a couple of blocks away from downtown. I had no problem. Safeway was also really close by. The house itself was also just beautiful. It’s an old home, but clearly well kept. Beds were very comfy, and kitchen was well-stocked. We especially loved the gas fireplace since it was a stormy weekend. Would love to return to this home in warmer weather so we can enjoy the seating on the front porch.
