*FAMILY-FRIENDLY AMENITIES: While we love offering our guests amenities like a pack-n-play or high chair, we're not quite big enough to stock them at each of our properties yet. If you're interested in any of these please inquire to their availability and note a small rental fee to cover delivery, pickup, and cleaning after use will be charged.
-All parties/events are subject to approval, charges may apply. Please inquire for more details

- Quiet hours are from 10 pm - 7 am.

- NO SMOKING anywhere on premises.

- Do not use any kind of dye in the showers, sinks, or baths.


- Pet Rules:
We are glad to host your pets too. Please note however pets and animals (including service animals) are permitted in the two bedroom basement unit ONLY. Regardless of how well trained the pet is, we have found pets do crazy things at unfamiliar locations. I really do not want to charge for cleaning carpets or floor rugs. It’s a pain, so please READ carefully! Thank you!

We ask for compliance in a few house rules:

•Do NOT invite them onto the furniture so we can keep it in great condition for all who are to come!

•DO NOT allow them into the bedrooms. Keeping the doors closed will make this easy. We just replaced the carpets in many locations and want to keep them fresh and pet smell free.

•We encourage you to bring your pets favorite bedding and blankets to prevent marking or nervous accidents. Trust us, they do happen!

•Please keep them on wood flooring, use the baby gates provided or close bedroom doors to ensure compliance.

•Let me know if you do not have extra bedding for them, I will provide it to you.

•The bathroom tub or showers are for humans only.

•When taking your pet out to the bathroom, please pick up after them. Other guests will greatly appreciate your taking responsibility for this.

•Lastly, please do NOT Leave them alone unkenneled. We offer Rover service , if you are going to be gone and cannot take your animal or kennel them. Let us know and we can arrange it!

There is a $60 per week per pet fee for dogs (capped at $180 per month), Any other pets will be considered on a case by case basis- please inquire. If you already paid it through your reservation, great! If not, please reach out and we can discuss the various channels depending on how you booked that we can use.


*Violations of house rules may result is a $250 fine.

Fantastic property. Cute and clean. Wish the beds were newer, as they were a little saggy, wish the sheets were breathable, cotton.

Clean and Noisey

This property is clean and cute. It is located on a highway; the road noise is loud inside the house. It is also located next to a large construction site, which is also a source of daytime noise. We stayed two nights. The second night, the apartment in the basement was rented to a group who arrived around 1:00 am and partied very loudly until around 4:00 am. The connecting stairway from the basement is not insulated, it sounded like the party was in our kitchen. Our space was also filled with the odor of marijuana and cigarette smoke. Overall, not a good night's sleep.

Corvallis Business trip

This property was fantastic and very close to the project we are working on. There was plenty of space for the crew. The driveway parking and roadside parking handled all of our large work vehicles. The cleanliness and modern style home was perfect after a long day. This property also has a downstairs unit that can be rented, which we will definitely include on our next visit.

Good Location to check out the OSU Campus & Enjoy Family Time

We greatly appreciated the personal shopper service! We arrived late in the evening, so having provisions in the refrigerator helped us start our first morning well. The washer and dryer were convenient. Very nice dinner at Castor- highly recommend. Mary was most helpful throughout the process!
