Charming Craftsman Retreat in Eugene's Historic Whiteaker Neighborhood
Experience the best of Eugene from this beautifully preserved 1914 Craftsman home, nestled among lush gardens in the heart of the vibrant Whiteaker neighborhood. Combining historic charm with modern comfort, this inviting retreat offers a peaceful setting just minutes from downtown Eugene, the University of Oregon, the Willamette River, and some of the city's best restaurants, breweries, cafés, and local shops.
Leave your car behind and explore Eugene on foot or by bike. Stroll to neighborhood farmers markets, tasting rooms, music venues, and scenic river trails, or take a short ride to campus events, Hayward Field, and Autzen Stadium.
Inside, the home is filled with natural light, warm wood details, and thoughtfully curated antiques that reflect its rich history. The spacious living and dining areas create a welcoming atmosphere for relaxing, reconnecting, or celebrating a special occasion. Music lovers will appreciate the home's unique character, including an 1890s piano and a beautiful cello displayed in the living room.
Ideal for couples and comfortable for up to four guests, the home features two inviting bedrooms connected by a shared bathroom. The primary bedroom offers a queen-size oak sleigh bed with an 11-inch memory foam mattress, soft linens, and plush bathrobes. The guest bedroom includes a mahogany sleigh bed with a pillow-top mattress, down comforter, soft linens, bathrobes, and a 32-inch television with Netflix.
The fully equipped kitchen is designed for those who love to cook, with everything needed to prepare anything from a simple breakfast to a gourmet dinner. Just outside, a large barbecue and private garden seating area invite you to enjoy meals surrounded by flowers, mature trees, and seasonal blooms.
One of the home's most memorable features is its enchanting garden setting. Dine on the covered front porch overlooking vibrant flower beds, unwind beneath the shade of mature trees, or harvest fresh herbs, fruits, and vegetables from the garden during the growing season.
Whether you're visiting Eugene for a University of Oregon event, a weekend getaway, or an extended stay, this charming Craftsman offers the perfect blend of walkable convenience, historic character, and garden tranquility.

Beautiful craftsmen tucked in a tiny garden behind a gate. Lots of fresh towels. Extra blankets. Robes in closets. Private front porch for morning coffee/tea. Couldn’t have been better.
We stayed here over Thanksgiving and had a great time! The house is super-cute, very clean and quiet. We stayed here with our adult daughter (our son lives in Eugene). We cooked Thanksgiving dinner in the kitchen (OK, we did not cook a turkey) without a hitch. The living room is great for hanging out or napping. We would definitely stay here again.
Beautiful home with tons of charm! Clean, comfortable, gorgeous back yard. Kitchen was fully stocked with cookware, plates,etc to entertain for a dinner guests. Stayed for 5 nights and loved it.
Better than the pictures. Very private yet right in Eugene, a rare find. Eve’s communication was exceptional and check-out simple and easy. If the garden is in bloom they’d love to have renters enjoy the fresh food.
The house is wonderful!! The location is great if you are visiting the campus. The house seemed to be close to every place we went to. The house was very clean and well stocked. I would definitely stay here again. Parking is on the street, but was not an issue.
This was an absolutely marvelous stay. It was clean, comfortable, and liveable. Many house stays don't have great kitchenware, which can be difficult, as I like to cook and eat out. This also had great outdoor space, which was fun in spring.
Perfect little house in a cool part of town walking distance to some of the best food in town. 8 min uber to the campus. Wonderful host. I will stay there again for sure.
Home was so beautifully appointed and comfortable. Gardens surrounded us in peaceful beauty. Everything was well taken care of and Eve was very responsive. Will definitely come back.
A lovely little home! We enjoyed our stay very much. I would have preferred a driveway to park in, but street parking was always available near the house. Overall, a great experience staying here and we won’t hesitate to book it again if we need to come back to Eugene.
We just loved this property. An oasis in the city. Totally private with beautiful outdoor spaces. Beds super comfy. Charming decor and well outfitted kitchen. Easy access. Despite no assigned parking we never had trouble with that. Cute neighborhood with local eateries and close to Eugene hotspots.. Loved it!
My brother and I stayed 4 nights. The house is comfortable, the kitchen well stocked if one is going to cook (we didn't), it is VERY quiet, and centrally located. Eve was a great host and responded to questions quickly.
Lovely old home. Bed very comfortable . Quiet neighborhood but limited food in walking distance. Main heater in the living room worked very well but bathroom was cold (note, we stayed on a very cold weekend).
This cottage is completely hidden from the street, giving one a wonderful sense of peace and privacy. We thoroughly enjoyed our week there. Lovely family owned grocery very close, easy access for exploring the area by car, or just walking around the area.
The cottage is beautifully decorated, a joy to experience, and very well maintained. We hope to stay again.
The
House is better than described: clean, quiet, cozy, with comfy beds. Located directly across from grocery and within a few minute walk of several restaurants. Easy access to highways. Communication with host was prompt and effective.

About the host
Hosted by Eve
Engaging, friendly host interested in people and creative endeavors. I spend my time running a local non-profit organization that protects and enhances land and water through collaborative processes, research, design and habitat restoration efforts. I also have a business in interior design, creating beautiful and comfortable living spaces for myself and others. I have established the gardens around the home to create a peaceful, beautiful setting with the hope of providing an oasis for guests to relax into and enjoy.
Why they chose this property
I love the architecture of the old homes in the Whiteaker neighborhood. There are a lot of trees that surround many of the homes in this area, creating a sense of nature among the architectural aesthetic I enjoy. The neighborhood is also lively with a mix of people from many facets of life, providing diversity and a sense of community.
What makes this property unique
Serene oasis very close to the excitement of the Whiteaker neighborhood. Walking distance to the beautiful Willamette River, many restaurants, breweries and wineries.
