Lovely hosts and beautiful property

Joy and Bill were gracious hosts who made sure we had a wonderful time. The check-in process was incredibly smooth, they laid out some snacks and coffee for us and they let us peruse the garden and pasture at our own leisure. It was a perfect little getaway weekend!

If you are seeing this review, just book it! Amazing property, very engaging and interesting hosts that are there if you need them, but you will have complete privacy if you desire. Close to everything, yet you feel as if you are deep in the country. Pretty much perfect.

Paradise

Super secluded but yet so close to town. Easy 18ish minute drive to downtown or campus (which are viewable from this hilltop). Everything needed for a restful stay was here on arrival. On the property, we were greeted by the helpful owner, her majestic 3 horses, 2 turkeys with their 15 babies and 2 deer. So happy we found this place.

Beautiful area - great hosts

Owners were friendly, helpful and interesting. Cabin had everything and was spotless. The property is lovely and quiet. Nice getaway and not too far for a jaunt to Florence and the Coast. The beach weather was perfect for feet in the sand, Heceta lighthouse, sea lion caves and all all around beautiful countryside travel with trees, rolling hills, moving, still water and wildlife. Easy access to town and country.

PERFECT spot for a solo stay

I HIGHLY recommend for anyone traveling solo or who likes being cozy with their traveling partner. I was in town for a 5 day work trip and I could not have picked a better spot to stay. The cottage was clean, comfortable, and the WiFi was plenty to both stream video while working in the evenings. The property is beautiful and the hosts are amazing. This location is also very convenient to access Eugene and the surrounds without being directly in town. If you are looking at a trip to this area, pick this spot.

Country Fair bliss!

This is truly one of my very best VRBO experiences ever! The cottage was nestled in a lovely old oak grove with a view of surrounding hills. Ours hosts, Joy and Bill were helpful yet gave us space to enjoy ourselves. We attended the awesome County Fair during the day but this lovely cottage allowed for peaceful respite to unwind and recharge at the end of the day. Certainly recommend and hope to return again.

Cozy, charming cottage amidst beautiful rolling countryside.

Accommodated who anticipated our every need! Fully stocked kitchen with updated high end appliances. Two refrigerators, as well as washer and dryer. Easy drive into Eugene proper- but secluded enough to enjoy nature’s beauty and splendor. This was a wonderful 1 week getaway- and we highly recommend this VRBO!

Joy and Bill went above and beyond as hosts! Aside being lovely to talk to, they also introduced us to their horses, baked us scones, and offered us home-brewed beer and cider. The property has a natural beauty in itself, but is also extremely well-maintained by the hosts. They have a small orchard, beautiful landscaping, and a green house. They clearly put a lot of love into their home and we are grateful they are willing to share with guests! Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Eugene weekend

The photos in their listing do not do this cottage justice! The accommodations were perfect for my stay. Extremely clean and very well maintained. Close to Eugene and all the fabulous and unique dining options in town. I rode my bike on the Fern Ridge Trail which is very close to the cottage. I was able to ride downtown and explore all the town has to offer. Extremely quiet location.

Beautiful horse ranch in the woods.

This is a beautiful little cottage on a horse ranch. Bill and Joy were incredible hosts! They made our stay very enjoyable and were always so helpful in giving us information about the area……. Where to eat, things to do and see. The property around the cottage was so beautiful and peaceful. We always enjoyed a glass of wine in the evening and listened to the birds and watched the deer roam the property. I recommend this property highly.

Tranquility and accommodating

My fiancé and I were in awe with the beauty of the property, the cottage was fully equipped, well stocked and comfortable. Her place is conveniently located and directions they offer help to easily find it. Joy and her husband were great hosts and easy to communicate with, and despite our scheduling conflict they were able to work with us and accommodate changes. Would personally come here again!

Excellent Stay

Joy and Bill have a lovely property with beautiful views of the surrounding country side. The cottage was immaculate and very comfortable. This lovely quiet property is an excellent choice for a single or couple who appreciate a peaceful rural environment. The location is outside the city but close enough to access restaurants and shopping. FYI: The property rules are strict but necessary to protect the environment and should at ALL times be honored and respected by visitors.

Perfect Little Cottage

I usually don't review items or stays but our stay was absolutely perfect for our needs. The cottage is very quiet and peaceful. The hosts were very accommodating and made sure we were happy at their property. They offered a perfect balance of contact. If you needed them, then they were available if you didn't, then they weren't prying into your business. We stayed for a week and would definitely recommend this pleasant little cottage in the country.

This cottage was great for our visit to our son's place that was only 4 minutes away. It was located on a beautiful property with horses, a rose garden and forest pine trees. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed including fresh flowers from the rose garden. Our hosts were very helpful and accommodating and welcomed us onto their property. They shared some of their favorite restaurants and allowed us to spend some time with their animals. As long as our son is still in the same apartment, we'll be returning here to stay upon our next visit!

About the host

Hosted by Joy Olgyay

Host profile image

This is our second farm. We've owned this farm for six years. During this time we've rebuilt several buildings, pulled down others, built gardens and planted an orchard, cleaned up the fields and restored the oak forest. In the short time we've owned this farm, we've made it more hospital to all kinds of wildlife. We lived in this Cottage for 18 months, as we repaired the main house. We know it well.

We enjoy sharing the rural life with others. We want people to enjoy the views, the landscape and walk about as if this were your very own park. There are places to sit outside, on the Cottage's patio, and a place to sit when the weather isn't so nice (there are chairs and a table in the green house). If our guests want to engage in some agritourism, we will give them tours of the vegetable garden or the orchard, discuss forestry and wildlife practises and introduce them to the horses. At night there is star gazing.

For many years we lived abroad (Europe, Asia, Africa). We understand traveling.
