About this property

This is a 3 bedroom, 1 bath farmhouse that is located on a 30 acre certified organic farm within the Eugene city boundaries. The farm has over 2,000 feet of frontage on the Willamette River.
The farmhouse has been redone but still has the original wooden floors, a fireplace and it is on its own 2 acre lot. Note, it is a home from the 50's and is nice and spacious but is not a deluxe luxury accommodation. There's no DVD player, big screen TV etc.... but there is a beautiful, quiet setting for you to enjoy (and fast wifi for streaming).

Each room is decorated with furniture and items from the owner's years of living overseas.

Guests are free to walk to the river (about a 3-4 minute walk), see the horse stables, visit the organic farm (or even pitch in and help if they desire!)

Unique property with lots of possibilities! We were thrilled to find an affordable place to stay as Eugene was sold out for UO family weekend. Bring your own pillows if you are driving in. The house and furnishings are tired. It’s all very oddly decorated and old and not particularly comfortable, but a place to sleep which is what we needed. The pillows, bedding, drapes and living room furniture desperately need replacing. Hosts were extremely communicative and very thoughtful.

Very nice place

We really enjoyed our time and the place is beautifully located near riverfront access. It is a real farm-house clean but dont expect super modern. It is interesting to see the international ties. The people are very nice so recommend this place!

Farmhouse get away

Great location near Eugene, but sure felt like your miles away on a farm. Great front porch to sit and drink your morning coffee while listening to farm wake up. Fun to experience living on working farm. This is a true country farmhouse experience with acres of gardens, rosters, chickens, pigs, goats, horses, ducks, turkeys, dogs, cats etc, not a resort style accommodation. Fun to walk around farm, talk to farm crew and easy walk to river.

Perfect for Nature-Lovers and Adventurers

We knew we found the right place when we pulled in to park in the carport and saw the elaborate rickshaw. This fascinating house is filled with wonderful treasures from all over the world. Some of my favorite things were the very snuggly bed in the master bedroom, the outdoor patio with table and chairs, and the river access. The setting is a classic Oregon organic farm, complete with goats, chickens, turkeys, horses, and pot bellied pigs. Easy river access with park-like grounds and proximity to great hiking and dining make for a truly enjoyable vacation. Our dog loved it as much as we did. The owners were wonderful - helpful and friendly, but not intrusive. We will definitely stay here again.

Quiet days at the farm

This location was perfect to get away with a friend for a couple of days. The farmhouse was clean and had everything we needed- kitchen appliances, comfortable beds, great shower! The main amenity was the farm dogs who showed us to the swimming hole (shout out to Abeline and Atticus) :-) host was communicative and available by text for any problems. Otherwise we had the run of the place. We loved our quiet days at the farm!

Country living

The wild turkeys were fun to watch. We had to wash all dishes they had a scum on them. Lots of cobwebs and dirty windows We we’re going to vacuum (we had dogs) but the Machine was full of other people’s dirt Yuck. Nice being on a farm again and close to the river

Beautiful Setting

This is a great place to relax! It is exactly as described - not luxurious but clean and cozy. You will get to see an operating farm and you can get as involved as you want (or don't). The location is awesome - we used it as home base for checking out University of Oregon and surrounding area.

Beautiful Home, Gracious Host

My husband and I were in Eugene for a very short time, but would highly recommend this beautifully decorated farm house to everyone! We had complete privacy, but were welcomed to walk the entire amazing property and our kindest host was immediately available if we had any needs, which we did not. Extremely thoughtful and a perfect example for VRBO.

Loved this endearing home and it’s environs

Shaundele was very responsive and my friends and I loved staying at this home. The love the owners have put into decorating this place with all their art from their travels makes for a unique experience. Having great organic produce so close by on River Road is a treat. We didn’t get a chance to explore the land or rivers nearby much, but loved the turkeys, dog, roosters for company. The style of the house is of a certain time, so it’s not about the mod cons, but the experience of ‘warm and cosy’. The place is large and well equipped with all that we needed. Thank you!

Didn't get to know the farm at all. A pity!

We were only at the farm late each day due to business constraints, so we didn't get to appreciate it as we might have otherwise. The house was clean and comfortable, though dated, but the travel decor made it special. It did lack a good reading lamp in the living room. Regardless, it was wonderful to have such a quiet place to wind down at the end of the day, and the owner was most accommodating.

Away from the Hustle and Bustle

Stayed at this property during a large volleyball tournament. Wish we had more time to explore the farm. Even purchased delicious eggs from the farm! The girls loved the décor and the fact that we could get away from the insanity of the tournament. Owner communication was superb and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Great Experience!

This was a perfect find for us. We wanted to get away, relax, and decompress while visiting our daughter in Eugene. We also needed a space that would be great for our dog, where we could spread out a bit, and do our own cooking. This hit all the marks and more. We had a great time exploring the farm and learning about organic farming--my wife and son even had a chance to volunteer one morning and enjoyed the experience of working with the animals and learning about some of the different techniques. Our dog loved having a small yard to play in, and we all appreciated access to the river. It was just a very enjoyable and unique experience that we look forward to repeating when we come back to Eugene.

Cute Spot

I loved that it was tucked away from the hustle and bustle. It’s such a gorgeous home. You can really sit and enjoy the peace and quiet. There were some places that could really use some cleaning, a lot of dead bugs I found throughout the home. We would definitely stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Property Manager/Owner

I am a "semi retired" educator who has had the great experience of living and working overseas for the 16 years. I ran the farm from afar and came and worked all summer each year to try and keep things up (it didn't work very well :>).

Now, I am home and loving being able to work the land and live on this beautiful piece of property year round.

I live on the property further back.. My son and my mother, who's 90 years young work here most days and we have Wwoofers (from the World Wide Organization of Organic Farms) who live here for various lengths of time to learn farming.

Why they chose this property

It's unique. It is a working certified organic farm and it has beautiful river frontage. I have also decorated the house with items that I obtained while living abroad. (Please note that it's about a 3-4 minute walk to the river's edge from the house).

Guests can observe a real working farm and buy fresh, organic produce right from the farm!

What makes this property unique

A person can bike from here easily and/or hike the property or the old boat landing at the end of the road. It's a unique opportunity to visit a farm and see all of the animals and crops.
