Beautiful Home, walkable to downtown McMinnville.

We loved staying at this home for our wine country trip. It was very clean, convenient, charming, and comfortable. Everything in updated and decorated amazingly. We walked to 3rd Ave in McMinnville each night (about 15 min) and had a great experience eating and shopping downtown. We loved the smell of the flowering bushes outside our door. Would absolutely stay again next time we're in town.

Happy house

From the moment we walked in the house we were happy with our choice. It is a very bright and clean house with room to spread out for the family. We loved the back yard too as we enjoyed a dinner outside on the deck. The hummingbird show and the air show were definitely bonuses : ) Thank you for a wonderful stay! We will be back!!!

Charming four bedroom in McMinnville

I have to say that after all of my years of renting through VRBO, this house was probably my favorite. A beautifully renovated older cottage in McMinnville with spacious bedrooms and common areas. Also had a nice outside dining space. Kitchen was extremely well equipped and the home was well stocked with supplies (paper products, coffee, soap, trashbags etc.). This was greatly appreciated as we flew in from the east coast. I would rent this house again for sure!
