Gals’ Getaway

Beautiful 3-bedroom house was perfect for old friends who enjoyed walking to cafes, wine-tasting, watching a movie. Check-in and out were super easy. Hot tub was a bonus. Plus stars on a bedroom ceiling. So close to Portland but feels miles away for relaxing and refreshing.

Great stay in downtown Newberg

Everything about our stay was great, from the booking process, to the quick and helpful communication, to the house and property, to Leigh, our fabulous host. A perfect home base for wine tasting in the Willamette Valley. Particularly appreciated the flexible check in time and immaculate hot tub out on the patio - the pictures do not do it justice!

Wow! What a property. This is beautiful house with all of the amenities we could have wanted. The location in Newberg is accessible and nearby to grocery stores and restaurants. The entire home is like a step back in time in terms of the architecture and furnishings. All while providing the modern comforts such as internet access and streaming services we have grown accustomed.Leigh is a gracious, informative and responsive host.

Beautiful Victorian Home

This lovely home has a very friendly owner who is most helpful. The house itself is a restored Victorian and is very nice. There are three bedrooms up stairs, two are somewhat small and one is larger. The house is filled with antiques and local and personal memorabilia. The house is very comfortable. I would highly recommend this VRBO.

My sister and I had an amazing stay at the University House in Newberg when we visited for my niece’s wedding. There was ample space for the two of us and our adult daughters. The house is decorated beautifully, and Leigh has thought of everything to make the stay comfortable and enjoyable. The location is ideal for a stroll downtown for coffee or shopping or a nature walk through George Fox. The house is steeped in history and felt like home. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Leigh Wellikoff

Host profile image
I have always loved the historic buildings and close knit neighborhoods in this northern part of Newberg. Many years ago, I was delighted to jump at the opportunity when I saw a realtor installing a 'For Sale' sign on the property that would become U House. I've restored four houses in this part of town, nurturing them from various states of disrepair into beautiful homes. My love of antiques shows throughout the house, as many of the furnishings are family heirlooms. In my forty years of living in the Willamette Valley, I continue to be amazed at the astonishing variety available here. Downtown Newberg is full of character with an intimate, easy-going atmosphere. The mid-valley area is so spectacular in its geography, recreational choices, abundant wildlife, agricultural diversity and artistic community, yet also close to town and city environments. I enjoy being able to go from valley to mountain to desert in a few hours to the East, or West through the Coast Range to some of the most stunning coastline to be found anywhere. Allow us to introduce you to this unique part of the world, or assist you in deepening your own appreciation of what our area has to offer. Welcome to the U House...your home away from home while visiting Yamhill County.

Why they chose this property

This turn of the century home caught my eye years before it became available, and I was thrilled to be able to turn the house into a comfortable haven for travellers to enjoy. This is a beautiful historic area with a friendly neighborhood network, quiet yet close to a wide array of dining and activities in premiere wine country.

What makes this property unique

The wine country mural in the hot tub patio draws your stress out and away with every warm bubbly moment. Family antiques lend a sense of belonging and connection to your stay. Enjoy the flames in the fireplace while placing your cares aside for a time. You need only ask and we will provide full concierge service to recommend dining and sightseeing options as well as make those reservations for you. We truly want you to feel at home here.
