About this property

Budget Travel In Wine Country. Oregon Wine Zimmer 😃

Private exterior entrance to the full upstairs suite of a classic 1950's home (not in period decor). Enjoy the peace and quiet in your 900 square feet, two-bedroom, one-bath, living room home. 13 short walking blocks to historic downtown McMinnville, past classic, warm, residential streets. Perfect for one couple or two who want to experience all the wonders of the Willamette Valley but don't want to break the bank. Plan to enjoy meals out (no kitchen and kitchen access to the main house), and let the Oregon Wine Zimmer be your place of rest.
We provide a small refrigerator, microwave, toaster, Keurig coffee maker, and table top ice maker.

Two-night minimum.

Not suitable for children, pets, or smoking. 100% no smoking, vaping, or weed.

Important to note: you enter the Zimmer by going up stairs to the back deck. If stairs are a problem for you, this is not the right place for you, unfortunately.

Zimmer means room or chamber in German. Often travelers stay in a Zimmer while visiting Germany, Switzerland, or Austria. We stayed in our first Zimmer while visiting Switzerland in 2003. It changed how we traveled forever. We are pleased to have you enjoy our Zimmer.

What a zimmer

This was an absolutely fantastic place to stay. The location is perfect to get around town as well as the entire surrounding area. Made such great ease to travel to wineries if different directions. Estelle was a great host making sure we had everything we needed. The listing is extremely accurate to everything mentioned. Plus parking was so easy and it was like having our own space. This was a first class experience. Please just go when it’s available.

Great

If you are looking for a place to cook a big meal this is not the place for you. However, if you are looking for a clean and quiet place with comfortable beds, and life’s basic requirements (coffee and coffee maker), with a deck to sit with a glass of wine this is perfect.

Great time

We enjoyed our time there. The only suggestion would be to install a good handrail. The handrail that is there you can't wrap your hands around and had slivers. But would stay again. Thanks,

Great place to stay!

My four friends and I stayed here for a joint birthday weekend for two of us. Even without a kitchen they had everything we needed for our stay. We enjoyed wine and meals on the deck, which was perfect and a great size with a table and four chairs on one end and a lounge-y area as well. The location was great - not quite downtown but a quick drive and so close to wineries. I would definitely stay here again!

Perfect spot for wine tasting!

We stayed in the Zimmer for 3 night for a wine tasting weekend. It was the perfect size for 4 adults. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were a good size. There was plenty of comfortable seating in the living room. The deck was such a nice place to sit with your coffee and a book in the morning and a nice glass of wine in the evening. We will definitely be back.

Nice, clean property, good location

Only problem was that the only A/C is in the main room. No air in the bedrooms, so we had to sleep on the sofas. Would be great to be able to open the windows in the bedrooms and then it would've been fine. Otherwise, lovely place to stay.

Quite spot close to downtown

This was a great place to call home base during our trip to wine country. Despite it being 100 degrees out, the A/C unit helped keep us cool. While it is a walk to the main strip, on a non-scorching day, it would be perfect for strolling downtown to grab breakfast or dinner. The neighborhood was quiet, and parking was ample. We were lucky to find this listing during the IPNC. Access to the smart TV was also a bonus since it was too hot to do much after a day of wine tasting.

Misleading Property Listing

The price is what draws you in but you get what you pay for. This is not walking distance to town (unless you consider 30 minutes reasonable) and there is a hollow door that is connected to the house where you can hear someone singing and playing the piano, doing dishes and conversing. It felt very strange, like we were staying in our friends parents house. The door had a key code and had to try several times to get in and the cleaning fee goes to the homeowner where you slip a sheet of paper under the hollow door to let them know they can come and clean. Little notes everywhere about blinds being broken and don’t do this/that. If you’re on a budget this is the place for you but we felt duped and uncomfortable.

Perfect for our needs

My Husband, Sister-in Law, and I stayed at the property. We were in town for my Son & Daughter-in Law's wedding reception. Property is about a mile from downtown McMinnville, which is loaded with shops and delicious restaurants. This property has no kitchen, however there is a small fridge, microwave, electric hot water pot , and a Kuerig. 4 coffee mugs and 4 wine glasses were also provided. there is a small round table that seats four. The living room had 2 couches, a loveseat, and a chair. The bedrooms were small but had large closets. The shower is in the tub, but it was a good shower. The deck area was great and the property is located in a nice area for walking around. The price was right as well. McMinnville is a great town
