About this property

Location! Location! Location! Easy access to everything Eugene, arts to outdoors

This quaint and charming home is centrally located ,in the heart of downtown Eugene, Oregon. It is only a brisk walk from the eclectic Whitaker / Blair Boulevard neighborhood with its many ethnic restaurants and grocers, gourmet dining establishments and great music venues. One of Eugene's best bakeries is only a few steps away! Deliscious! The Pizza Research Institute and Papa's Soul Food Kitchen are extraordinary and Sam Bond's Garage is a popular music venue for local, and not so local, artists. Just down the way a bit is the Hult Center where touring companies bring theatre and music to Eugene and where the notable Eugene Symphony, the Mozart Players and the Bach Festival perform to the delight of local and international audiences. For a change of pace , take public transportation, or drive,the short distance to Matthew Knight Arena, Autzen Stadium, Hayward Field or PK Park where top notch athletic competitions never fail to thrill and inspire.


Setting: The Madison Guest House greets the visitor with an inviting country garden displaying a variety of seasonal flowers and shrubs that soften the urban landscape and lend a tranquil air to the cottage. Tucked behind a cedar enclosure you will find a quiet oasis with space for relaxing, reading or meditating as well as for casual dining...

Charming, comfortable and well stocked!

This charming house is deceptively roomy, has comfortable seating and beds and literally has everything you could possible need. I have never stayed in a rental with more supplies in the kitchen and bathroom and laundry room than this place! If I'm in Eugene again, I would definitely want to stay here!

Eugene bungalow

Lovely older house with very nice vintage decor. Kitchen is very well prepared for any amount of cooking. Lovely bedrooms. Bathroom has nice shower. We didn’t use the back yard, but it is lovely. Yard is very well kept. We are accustomed to quiet, so it was a little busier than we are used to having, but that is about us. Very comfortable stay.

This is a delightful place to stay. It is a very comfortable and cozy house to stay at. The beds and pillows were excellent, the heating/cooling unit worked well, and it was a very well stocked kitchen. It is a roomy 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house in a very walkable neighborhood. The best part might be having Sweet Life Patisserie just a block down the alley.

Cute house, roomy, comfy beds. Perfect location for downtown. Street parking only, but it was never a problem. Eugene has a big homeless population, but again not a big issue for us. I would definitely stay here again!

House was unique and comfortable. Really enjoyed patio. Beds were cozy with great linens. Plenty of amenities in kitchen. Location perfect to downtown. However, there was a homeless camp directly across the street. But this seems prevalent in downtown area. No one bothered us at all.Overall great stay

Wonderful House, Close to Everything!

Will definitely stay here again on future trips! The house was clean, plenty of space and amenities and the check in process was super simple. Carolyn was easy to get a hold of and made the process super simple. The location is near downtown Eugene and you can get anywhere in town really easily. The fact that the best bakery in town is a few houses down makes this place's location that much better!

Eugene visit

The house was very clean, and well stocked. The shower downstairs was difficult to use. It was a big claw tub that had no hand safety bars to use. My husband and I are in our 70’s. We used the upstairs bathroom which worked well. The street noise was noticeable. The location was excellent. We did notice a lot of homeless in the area.

We Loved Our Stay

Eugene was a good halfway point for my wife and I and a long-term friend from Seattle. The house was a perfect base for us. Spacious, comfortable, well-appointed, and centrally located. The house was very clean and everything worked. The house is not a sterile tract home but has character and charm which was just our style. It is near a busy Eugene street but the only time we were aware of the street noise was at night and the provided white noise machines were the perfect antidote. Some of the properties nearby are a little derelict but we enjoyed the neighborhood and walked to the Willamette River, downtown, the U of O, and much more. We never felt unsafe. We are already talking about returning!

Dance Competition Trip

We came up for a dance competition. Overall house was great, neighborhood was not so great. Homeless camping half a block down and ally way between this house a next house, so there was quite a bit of foot traffic with camp. No parking when we arrived, so we parked in business parking, which were great. Once our parking opened up in front of house we moved our 2 cars. Noise level was great, just regular traffic you might hear as well as train, it did not effect our sleep for 2 nights. We all felt pretty secure and made sure house and cars were locked up before retiring for night. All in all, stay was great as well as communication.

lovely home, not best neighborhood

Lovely Home, clean, comfortable beds, everything there that was needed for stay. Convenient to where we needed to go for classes. Only down side was neighborhood not the best, lots of noise (even down the alley at night), did not know ahead of time that there is a autoshop right next door, their work can get pretty loud. Parking on street was a challenge sometimes during the day, there is no "designated" parking for just the house. The listing did say parking on the street, but most of the time others were parked in front of the house. Over all we were happy with our stay, communication was pretty quick with manager, and it was a quaint, comfortable little home.

Not the Eugene i remember...

Great House. Great Host. You can tell much thought and effort has been put into making this property special. Loaded with everything you will need to have a comfortable stay. Lots of great restaurants close as a 3min walk. And there lies the problem.This area is full of the homeless. People living in tents and vehicles right next to property. Garbage everywhere. The walks for food were scary. We were harrased everytime we left the house. Theres a constant threat to personal and property safety by the nonstop parade of vagrants around the house/cars all day and night. At checkin we were informed not to leave ANYTHING in our cars. For good reason, i found out. My heart goes out to the owner. It is a very difficult situation. If this house was located elsewhere i would rent it again. However when i do return to stay in Eugene it will be in a nice hotel. In a different part of town.Take what you want from my review. The tax paying residents of Eugene should be ashamed and embarrased by what that town has become.

Bring your noise canceling headphones as the “quiet urban oasis” the owner describes is false, you’re not getting any meditating done here. Instead, you’ll be lulled to sleep by the sounds of loud modified car exhausts and trains sounding their horns throughout the night. The front window lends a great view to all the activities that a downtown location has to offer, especially once the sunsets. My teens and I witnessed drugs being dealt out of the car in front of the house throughout the day. However, once we saw weapons being shown and exchanged, we decided it was time to leave. We left in such a rush we forgot a couple items. The owner promised to mail them and never did. Leaving a day early also cost us attending the Eugene Marathon the next day which took months to train for and was the only reason we were visiting the city. The actual home is very clean and quaint, especially if you can appreciate a vintage decor.

The owner was very speedy with communication pre stay and answered all my questions. The accommodations were more than expected , very comfortable with everything you can possibly need. Close to good restaurants. The immediate neighborhood is littered and there are many questionable people walking around at night. It is very sad. The rental property is delightful and outshines the riff raft.I hope to utilize this rental again for my next stay. It felt like home away from home.
