Loved this place!!

We had an amazing experience here! Perfect location, so quiet and a beautiful clean house. Had everything we needed and we were comfortable and happy with everything. We had our kiddos so we didn’t get to enjoy the wineries but it was about 15 to groceries, food, Brewhouse in Forest Grove and other neighboring cities. We loved watching the deer every morning and evening come up the driveway and around to the back of the house. Kids had fun exploring down by the stream just outside the back door practically. Check in was streamlined and ample and communication with property management was always super fast and above and beyond. Favorite VRBO we have stayed at so far!

Wonderful Stay

The house was immaculate and in the most tranquil setting. It was the perfect place to get away and just unplug . The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well-stocked. We loved watching the deer visit the property in the mornings and evenings. It was a beautiful view to wake up to every morning.

Relaxing and Quiet area

This house is in a quiet and relaxing area, but still close to tourist areas. From here we could get to the coast or to Portland in less than an hour. This was a great alternative to staying in a hotel in a busier area.

Creek side home

We enjoyed our stay. The kids loved the stream in the backyard. The noise aware system was unnerving with children cause they are kids and are sometimes loud. Otherwise, we loved the country home.

Great place to stay!

This home met our needs well and was a great choice for our family of five adults. Very clean, and previous reviews with a heads up to plan in advance for food, etc., were very helpful. Easy drives to the coast and east into Portland, suburbs, along Columbia River.

Quiet, Clean Farmhouse

Oak Star Farms is a clean, well-maintained home that was a nice spot for our family to play board games, read, and relax between Portland and the Pacific Ocean. Highlights for us: - The grill was very clean and was easy for us to use. We're accustomed to having to clean off grills at vacation rentals, so this was a welcome surprise. - The beds were terrific and very comfortable - The large table was terrific for the board games we brought. - The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need for cooking. - The appliances are in good condition and work well. We knew that the location would be well off the beaten path, and were looking forward to the solitude. Be advised that there are no gas/groceries opportunities in Gales Creek so be prepared with everything you need for a good first morning when you arrive. Nearest groceries are about 15 minutes away in Forest Grove, and we ended up heading about 30 minutes into Hillsboro for a restaurant. We were able to easily do things in Hillsboro/Portland and Tillamook/Rockaway Beach so that option worked well for us.

Great House and Location

We had a great time during our family vacation. The property was great, very clean, spacious, beds and furniture were great. The location was awesome as we did many day trips to the Coast, Portland, Wine Valley, all within a 45-1 hour drive. We would defiantly stay here again.
