Vintage Terrace – A One-of-a-Kind Church Turned Wine Country Retreat

Step inside this peaceful sanctuary, a beautifully restored historic church-turned-vacation rental in the heart of Oregon Wine Country. Located just a few blocks from downtown Carlton, this unique home offers a blend of architectural charm and modern comfort, making it the perfect retreat for groups, families, and wine lovers alike.

With five spacious bedrooms, each featuring a plush king bed, luxurious linens, a flat-screen TV, and an electric fireplace, guests can unwind in complete comfort and privacy. The main floor hosts the serene primary suite, complete with a spa-inspired ensuite bathroom featuring an oversized tile shower, clawfoot soaking tub, double sinks, and a private water closet—an ideal retreat after a day of wine country adventures. Upstairs, you’ll find four additional king bedrooms and two well-appointed bathrooms. Downstairs, just off the game room, two twin beds offer extra sleeping space along with a full bathroom featuring a tile shower—perfect for guests who want their own tucked-away corner of comfort.

The bright, open living room is designed for gathering, with multiple seating areas, a cozy gas fireplace, and double doors that open onto the expansive deck. From there, take in sweeping vista views—a peaceful backdrop for your morning coffee or golden-hour glass of wine.

The gourmet kitchen invites connection. Expansive countertops make it easy to prep meals or lay out wine and cheese for a casual tasting night, and the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to cook and entertain with ease. The adjoining dining area features a long table with a built-in banquette and dining chairs—perfect for shared meals, late-night chats, and lingering over that second (or third) glass of Pinot. Just off the kitchen, a covered patio offers another cozy space to gather—perfect for sipping morning coffee, enjoying an evening glass of wine, or grilling year-round.

The home’s inviting library and game room provide the perfect spot to relax, complete with a card table, retro video game, and cozy TV area. After a day of exploring, slip into the covered and enclosed hot tub, where you can soak and savor the moment in any season.

With Carlton’s charming downtown just a short walk away, you’ll have easy access to renowned tasting rooms, local restaurants, and a French bakery. Whether you're here for wine tasting, a special gathering, or simply to relax, Vintage Terrace offers a truly unforgettable stay in the Willamette Valley.

Book your stay today and experience this one-of-a-kind sanctuary—where history, comfort, and community beautifully converge.

What makes this property unique

In a unique nod to local history, one of the founders of Carlton, Peter Smith, is laid to rest right here on the property. His small, private gravesite serves as a quiet reminder of the town’s rich roots—an unexpected piece of Oregon wine country lore just steps from your stay.

Our professional spa contractor will be on-site each week to service the hot tub - typically on Monday or Tuesday. He must enter the property to access the hot tub.

The home sits along one of the main roads through sleepy Carlton—while you may notice occasional road noise, sound machines are provided in each bedroom to ensure a restful night’s sleep.

Guest will have exclusive access to the entire home except for owner and storage closets. The home is equipped with a keyless entry.
