Pleasant stay, convenient distance to OSU

We thoroughly enjoyed staying here during our daughter's Orientation at Oregon State University. The place is very comfortable and beautifully updated, with a well-supplied kitchen. It was exceptionally clean and tidy, with thoughtful touches that made it so easy to settle in and just enjoy being there. The property is divided into at least two living areas, but we were hardly ever aware of other guests or residents. They're still working to update the exterior, but the neighborhood was just fine and this location was perfect for us. We'll definitely check availability here first whenever we need a place to stay near OSU!

Wonderful and stress free

We were having our wedding in Albany that weekend and needed a place to stay since we live out of town! The property was cute and clean and didn’t have any trouble with check in or check out! It was so nice to not have to worry or deal with anything since our minds were already occupied with last minute wedding details!

About the host

Hosted by Melanie Johnson

Living my best life as "Mom" to a big happy family of 8 kids + 3 grandbabies, I spend my time keeping the fam party bus rolling and helping oversee the family businesses. For many years we've hosted college students and a varierty of friends who lived with us, and now we've started short-term rentals. The welcome mat is out for you and your family too at Hometown Fave in Albany. #WelcomeFriends!

Why they chose this property

We bought this "oldie but goodie" from the original owners years ago. During its lifetime, this big yellow house has served as a home, an extra apartment for family, and medical offices. Now, the Vintage cottage welcomes people from all over the world. How fun!

What makes this property unique

Our vision was to honor the 40's era of the house when we remodeled with the modern updates. Then we furnished the space comfortably for short-term use. Staying true, we kept the original wood floors, the triangle window in the entry closet, and the central heating stove (Bertha - in excellent shape). We trust this is an affordable place for you to explore and enjoy the bounty of the Willamette Valley and all that our area has to offer!
