About this property

Cozy home located right on the McKenzie River!

Enjoy the views from the newly built deck, or go down to the grassy lawn to relax, have a fire, and access the river directly. The deck is 400 sq ft with an expandable table and 6 chairs. Perfect for eating, working, happy hour, and that morning cuppa Joe. Go down to the soft, private, grassy river bed with a blanket for a nap or to read a book. Wave to the boaters, rafters, kayakers, and ducks as they roll by on the water. You can also cast your own line and launch your own kayak right from the yard.

There are many hiking trails, public boat accesses, natural hot springs, and charming restaurants nearby. Eugene is 45 minutes away and Sisters is just an hour away!

The interior of the home is bright, comfy, and modern. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the cooking gadgets a chef on vacation could need. The living room has high end seating and a fold out full-size couch. The small table in the dining area folds out for dinner, crafts, puzzles, etc. The bedroom has an exterior door right onto the deck.

Great spot on the McKenzie!

We spent an amazing few days in this home while exploring the McKenzie River. With amazing views of the river from the deck, we enjoyed unwinding here at the end of each day. And there are so many fun things to do in the area…we went fly fishing in several spots on the river, enjoyed visiting Proxy Falls, Clear Lake, Leaburg Fish Hatchery and so much more! Loved that the home was so well equipped and there was really nothing that we needed to bring with the exception of clothes and food. Matt was a great host and the communication was great! We will definitely be back for a future stay as the only negative is that our vacation had to come to an end!

Reconnecting

This place was perfect for my husband and me! It’s so peaceful and comfortable. The proximity to several of Oregon’s scenic byways was another bonus. The owners were terrific and very welcoming! If you’re looking for a quiet place to disconnect from the rat race, this cozy cottage is just the place to do it!

Lovely stay

We loved our stay here! The house is very clean and comfortable. The sound of the river rushing by is what I’m here for. I’ll be back in the near future.

Comfortable and gorgeous

The deck is lovely and the river delightful. We were thankful for the central AC when it was nearly 100 degrees days. The kitchen was well stocked as well. The driveway was a bit steep and graveled, which made it a bit more difficult to unload our car than we anticipated. Furniture comfortable, and BBQ was great as well.

About the host

Hosted by Matthew Thornberry

We both moved to Corvallis just over 20 years ago from Blacksburg, VA. Matt is a scientist at HP and Andrea has her own financial service company. Naturally, we fell in love with all the outdoor activities and love staying in different locations, particularly with a view.

Why they chose this property

Every time we stayed in a VRBO we'd look at homes for sale in the area and said "some day." Well, the day came by accident while looking through homes for sale on a cold, snowy day. We drove to see the property and it was love at first sight! It is small, but the deck we just added doubles the space, particularly the space with the view! We put in stone steps to go down to the grassy area right on the river's edge. It is relaxing and beautify!

What makes this property unique

We are lucky to have strong cell and internet connectivity, so we can work on the deck with the amazing view! We can put a chair right in the river and read a book while the water cools our feet. Kayaks and floats can be put in right from our yard. The house is light and airy. Cozy, but with all the amenities.
