About this property

Large Creek View 2 Bedroom 2 Bath Condo

Over 1000 SF! Sunny and bright two bedrooms. TWO bathrooms, full kitchen, large living room, and wonderful deck overlooking Mill Creek. Just blocks from downtown Salem. Wonderful view of historic Mill Creek and large balcony overlooking the creek. Reserved parking . Three blocks from Salem Center Mall, five blocks from State Capital and six from Willamette University. STRICTLY NO PETS in this unit due to Carpet, our other units do allow pets. Assigned, covered parking right in front of the condo!

With the creek view, you feel like you are camping but with the convenience of being in the City Center. Three blocks from Salem Center Mall, five blocks from State Capital and six from Willamette University.

You will have one assigned parking spot directly next to the condo (10 feet away) and a second spot is available (it is a compact spot that requires you to coordinate parking both cars as it overlaps partially with your main spot.

Over 1000 SF! Sunny and bright two bedrooms, two bathrooms, full kitchen, large living room, creekside condo just blocks from downtown Salem. Wonderful view of historic Mill Creek and large balcony overlooking the creek. Reserved parking . Three blocks from Salem Center Mall, five blocks from State Capital and six from Willamette University. This is in an apartment building, it is on the first floor so you will have a neighbor above and to the side of you. You will hear other people which is part of life when sharing walls. If that is not something you want please look for a home that would better suit you. Thanks for understanding!

With the creek view, you feel like you are camping but with the convenience of being in the City Center.

This is a mid century modern building that was built in the 1964, it is VERY well maintained and well built with unique stone aggregate siding. It is not a new building but it is well built with large units and an amazing location right on the creek. All units have been updated, but please be aware of the age of the building as some people have commented it was older. It has a lot of character that you do not get in a modern building.

You are in the downtown area and though it is very safe (the new police station is being built only 4 blocks away), this is a metro area and there are two homeless support facilities in the downtown area so you will see the people they support. We have never had any issues or any of our guests, but it is a part of life in many cities and you should be aware of it, if this will be a concern for you we recommend you look for a property outside of the downtown area.

During the summer the unit has an AC installed. We take it out for fall and winter but there are box fans if you get too warm (unlikely in OR as it is usually VERY mild). The AC is in the main bedroom and it will cool the unit, please use the box fans to move the air through the unit. Most guests find this is sufficient, however if you require it to be constantly under 72 degrees we recommend looking for another property with central AC.

You are 6 blocks (10 minutes) from the state capital and if you go up 1 block (east) to Historic Cottage street you will walk buy many historic homes and then into the Capital gardens which is my favorite way to approach the capital building. You are 5-6 blocks from Macys and Salem Center mall which is the northers end of the old downtown with lots of shops and restaurants. You can also walk a bit further west and go to the park and carousel along the Willammette River, take the pedestrian bridge over to Minto Island park or a favorite of mine is to take the old railroad trestle (NOW a pedestrian walkway) over the river to the park on the other side which is a short walk to a great Grocery store (Roths Fresh Market) with a awesome Deli and salad bar and KILLER local wine selection. Also in that shopping center is a starbucks so it makes for a nice walk!

We have a SMART Roku TV and high speed internet. The TV has apps on it for all popular streaming services that you can use your account with (Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, You Tube Premium) as well as many free apps for different types of TV. We try to keep costs down by cutting cable so normal broadcast TV is not available.

Great stay!

This is our 2nd time staying there because we liked it so much the first time. It’s clean, convenient, and very comfortable. And the creek outside is a wonderful bonus. Check in and check out directions are very easy to follow and communication is easy as well.

Second Time Stay :)

We love staying here. It's an apartment for the same cost as a hotel. We can cook our own food. It's clean, the neighbors are nice. Yes there are homeless but they were not a not a bother. We will stay here again.

The Stay That Did Not Happen

Showed up for our stay, but found someone living in the rental. Turns out the property manager did a long-term rental and delisted the property, but not without checking future bookings. We showed up, and found that we had no place to stay for our event. We had to stay in a hotel, and thankfully, VRBO made us whole financially, but the entire experience was stressful and poorly managed by the property manager.

Terrible Experience

Property was overbooked. Terrible and unsafe location. Owners should be ashamed for the manner in which they presented the property. Forced to find other lodging during the stay in Salem. This property should be banned from VRBO.

Nice view of creek out the back. Was situated on a quiet street. The internet was very very poor. I brought my work along with me and had to spend 2 - 3 hours at a coffee shop where there was adequate internet. very poor internet. The internet totally died for a couple of days.

As described

Property manager describes the location accurately. There are homeless up and down the street but none bothered us. I had a dog and there isn't a yard on premise to walk them so had to go out to the street. Kept my eyes open but didn't have any problems. The interior is clean and sparsely furnished. Kitchen had what we needed but not in abundance. It was an unseasonably warm May day when we went and AC unit was not in the window yet so interior was 75+. We did find 2 box fans which helped but since we didn't feel comfortable leaving the windows open at night in the neighborhood, it was warm.

Hi Amanda Please check the sink in the kitchen. It was dripping slightly and i tried to put a cup under it when we checked out yesterday. I'm coming back on Friday for the weekend again. Also, my mom said the heater in main bathroom was not working but I didn't check that out. Thank you, Lisa

Quiet & Clean

We loved staying at this property. Upon entry we saw how clean and spacious this rental was. It was very quiet at night. Our mattress was very comfy. The kitchen was stocked but we didn’t cook.

Lovely view

Great little apt. Everything you needed and more was there. 3 things that bugged me. 1. I asked about the washer and dryer on the property and was told there was no issues. But I washed 2 loads only to find out the dryer has not worked in months!!. Now where to go to dry two wet load. #2. Mold all on the bottom of the master bathroom shower door. Quit gross when it falls off while your showering. And last # 3. The shower drain is not secure to the bottom of the shower. I slipped and fell. Lots of homeless. Lots and lots of homeless.

Close to town. water was great white noise.

Bedrooms are roomy. Comfortable. Great selection of kitchen supplies even though we brought our own. Furniture is a little on the light side. So bring a comphy chair or camp chair ( 1 couch is a little odd for 3 people) Thr tv position is in the corner so living room isn't really setup as a living room ... it will fit 1 or 2 people comfortably. (Placing TV over the fireplace. Would be amazing!) Better view for everyone there. That being said .... I WOULD STAY AGAIN ... I would just bring something to sit on in living room.

Never Got To Stay

We arrived at the property just passed check in, only to find that the reservation had been double booked and the people staying there had gotten there first. We had to call the host, and after finding out we were stranded in Salem, we got a refund.

About the host

Hosted by Amanda Sherman

Host profile image
My husband and I are both originally from the area and returned after college. We have a young son and an older German Shepard. We no longer live in the area but own several properties there and have a WONDERFUL management and cleaning team!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this property when we first saw it. It is such a unique setting of being right on historic Mill Creek. This immediate area is where Salem truly started and just down street is the site of the original settler Mill. his is a mid century modern building that was built in the 1964, it is VERY well maintained and well built with unique stone aggregate siding. It is not a new building but it is well built with large units and an amazing location right on the creek. All units have been updated, but please be aware of the age of the building as some people have commented it was older. It has a lot of character that you do not get in a modern building.

What makes this property unique

Location, just a few blocks from the Willamette University, the Oregon State Capital buildings, the Willamette River, Downtown Salem and about 1 mile from the Salem Hospital. Large units which all have a view of the creek!
