The downstairs space which is entirely yours, features a bathroom with shower, microwave, Keurig coffee maker, and basic utensils for dining.

The Bunkhouse Retreat is located in the north end of the 1,200 acres of lush, natural open and wooded area known as Minto-Brown Island Park. Walk, jog, or bike along 19 mile of hard and soft trail through native timber a grassy meadows. Enjoy fishing spots, a paddle boat area, and paved bikeways.
The Bunkhouse is a great Retreat just not the best place to do work on the computer. The Wifi is very very poor and really spotty, so doesn't always work out there.
The Wifi network is called CenturyLink3019, password aaf7bc87te7x4b. The internet speed is 0.5 Mbps. There is a wifi extender called "Bunkhouse" with the same password, aaf7bc87te7x4b.

How does a place get a Premier Rating?
Disappointed in the outside up keep from the appearance of the entry gate (Moss growing on gate) and front entrance ( spider webs). Ant traps throughout the place. Our third night we had a mouse run across the floor. Packed up and left with two nights remaining (no notice given). Very disappointed.

Lovely but dripping faucet
Lovely spot, cozy, clean and comfortable. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because there was an issue with the faucet, which dripped constantly, gradually over several days just running hot water all the time and made it difficult to get cold water.

My name is Angela Jones, I grew up and have lived in Salem for my entire life. It is my home and I am so excited to share it with visitors! I have twin boys Max and Sam, who I am currently using my vacation rentals to help put them both through college! My boys are my world! I am also an Arbonne Independent Consultant. Arbonne provides pure, safe and beneficial health and beauty products. Our products are made for those that don't want to use harsh chemicals and want true results in their health and their looks!
I decided to start my Salem vacation rentals when time got close to having to start paying for my boys college tuitions. I now also co-host the "Jefferson Garden Cottage" in Salem OR as well as "In the Heart of Downtown Living"! The "Minto-Brown Island Bunkhouse Retreat" in my newest and oh so lovely listing! I love the hospitality business and supplying guests with beautiful, comfortable, usable spaces to stay in for a much more reasonable price than a hotel.
I love to getting to know my guests and making new connections. I hope you stay with me if you ever come to Salem OR, I can guarantee you will not be disappointed. All my very best, Angela Jones
