I really enjoyed my stay in this beautiful cottage! It had everything I needed and then some! Lee Anne was absolutely the best host! It was a wonderful place to stay!
This property was everything we could hope for our stay in Albany. It is in walking distance of several coffee shops, restaurants, parks,.... We were visiting our grandchildren who live in Albany and this was the perfect place to stay. Everything you could want while staying at a vacation house was at your fingertips.
This is a charming historic cottage home renovated just right. All the charm of its history with a modern twist. It’s a very cozy spot for 2. We really enjoyed our stay. The owner is great as was her communication regarding our stay. We would stay again.
We loved staying at this cottage. Everything was super clean! Very comfy. A nice sitting area for watching TV. A little yard for having our morning coffee. Laundry accommodations. All in all, a wonderful stay!
Wonderful place! Extremely clean, location was perfect, never had to use our car. Highly recommend. Small but very functional. Everything you would need in the kitchen.

Thank you for staying, Marcella. I’m happy you enjoyed the cottage. I’d love to host you again if you are ever in the Albany area.
I enjoyed my stay thoroughly! Everything was immaculate and anytime I needed anything it was already there within hands reach. It’s an adorable cottage and beautifully decorated! I will definitely be back, thank you!

Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m thrilled you enjoyed your stay and will look forward to your return!
The property was amazing. The location was walking distance to downtown Albany and a 20 min drive to Corvallis. Our hostess provided orange juice, coffee, creamer, yogurt water and home made banana bread that was delicious. The cottage is well appointed and very comfortable. I highly recommend this rental.
We really loved Lee Anne’s wonderful studio. Just the right size for the two of us. Close to downtown in a quiet neighborhood great for long walks. All the amenities were provided. We are looking forward to our next stay in the summer when we can sit out on the comfortable deck, grill and enjoy a glass of wine.
A lovely, restful stay at the beautiful Vine Street Cottage!
We enjoyed a restful five days in the comfort of the lovely Vine Street Cottage! It was the perfect place to rest up after holiday madness. Lee Anne is a responsive host and provided clear instructions for check in and check out. The cottage itself is beautifully appointed—the photos *almost* do it justice! We used it as home base to do some day trips to other spots of interest in the Willamette Valley, and enjoyed getting to know Albany itself by walking its streets. We look forward to our next visit!
Excellent location: walkable to downtown; easy access to US highways for day trips (w/in one hour of the coast); quiet, quaint neighborhood. Excellent property: immaculate, well-furnished; kitchen modern, spotless, a cook's heaven--you could effortlessly prepare and host a seven-course, Thanksgiving dinner in the kitchen. If the host did long-term leases, I'd rent Vine Street Cottage for a year and forego apartment hunting.
What a great place to stay clean quiet and oh so cute. Well stocked, no bad words for this place!
Only suggestion would be a desk area I had to work and no real comfortable place for computer work.
Owner is fabulous Thank You

Hi Cynthia,
Thank you so much for your kind words. I will install a desk immediately. Sometimes working at the island isn't great for long spells on the computer. Thank you for the suggestion! I hope yo host you again!
Thank you, Lee Anne
This place is cute, nicely decorated, quiet, and just what we needed while we visited family in and around Albany. It is just as advertised and the host was welcoming and helpful. If you are thinking of staying here, do it.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Vine Street cottage. The cottage is tastefully decorated and well stocked with all necessary items for the stay. The hostess was very attentive to our needs.
Beautifully decorated, fully stocked, great location
Lee Anne's was very responsive and helpful. Very easy to check in. Her place had everything you would need plus treats upon arrival. Great location to walk to downtown restaurants and cafes. Convenient to get to Corvallis. Quiet at night. Very comfy bed. Beautiful restoration and decorating. Felt very safe and relaxed. Tour books and umbrellas available to borrow. Nice to have 2 parking spots. Thank you, Lee Anne, we will be back!

Thank you for the kind words, Sue. I hope to host you again. :)
My daughter and I stayed here for a few days and felt at home EVERY day! Was super close to where we wanted to spend most of our time. Kitchen was well stocked to be able to make up a few things also!
The cottage was perfectly maintained and in a great location close to downtown restaurants, coffee shops and stores. The only problem is the bed is too high for petite women with any type of disability. I did find a step stooled and that helped with getting in bed but getting out required assistance. Recommend it highly but could not stay there again unless the bed was lowered.
This cottage is the perfect size and is so cozy and comfortable. It is so quiet and has easy access to downtown. The bed is a cloud of comfort!!
