About this property

The Wanderer- a quiet retreat

A Guest Favorite!
The Wanderer is a completely private guest suite, one-bedroom apartment, in one of the quietest and safest neighborhoods in Corvallis.
This darling apartment is perfect for parents coming to visit their OSU students, and travel nurses and remote workers love this quiet space, with good WiFi, and a corner desk.
The extensive kitchenette has a quadruple style microwave, with baking capabilities up to 400 degrees, a roasting feature (you could roast a whole chicken in there!), an air fryer, as well as normal microwave functionality. There is additionally a hot plate and skillet, a mini fridge, prep space with cutting boards and knives, and a coffee maker.

There’s a large bathroom with modern walk-in shower.
The apartment also has a cozy indoor electric fireplace, and access to an outdoor space with a fire pit and chairs. Please bring your own firewood and accessories for outdoor firepit use.
The suite is attached to a family home, where you have your own private entrance, and no interaction with the family, who is often off traveling anyway.
Just one mile from the Oregon State University campus, this is a perfect spot for football weekends.

A concierge laundry service is provided for guests staying 7+ nights!

We can not accept third-party reservations on this apartment. Meaning that the person who is on the booking, needs to be the person who is staying. We can also not accept children.

Peaceful, restful, shalom.

The space is very homey, it provides a sense of peace just walking in. Ellen, who manages the property is so quick to communicate and very friendly. Working with her had to be one of the best parts. It was a great place in a great location to rest up after a long day of work. Highly recommend you give this space a stay! :)
