Charming mother-in-law cottage in the historic Whiteaker neighborhood. Nestled in a lovely private flower garden, the Cottage provides a serene retreat and is centrally located among the best restaurants, breweries and wineries in Eugene.
The house is set back from an eclectic urban neighborhood and the space can be surprisingly quiet for being in the middle of this active area of Eugene. At times, you may hear music and or neighborhood festivities. My goal is to make your visit to Eugene an enjoyable one, providing you with a restful, serene and secure home away from home.
Tall ceilings and windows in every room fill this 450 sq foot charming cottage with light and a sense of spaciousness. The bedroom features a mahogany queen size sleigh bed with a pillow top mattress, luxury linens and a down comforter. The view from the bedroom looks out onto the flower garden and private fenced yard.
There is a living area with seating for two, suede ottoman-bench, sofa chair, and a HDTV with established Amazon Prime, Netflix and Acorn accounts for streaming TV and movies. Additionally there is a HDMI cord for guests to stream movies or shows from a laptop. Relax and unwind in this quaint setting that includes a writer's desk and a fully-stocked kitchen. Everything you need to create a gourmet meal can be found in the kitchen.
Garden settings and nooks surround the cottage provide a tranquil and beautiful outdoor space to enjoy. There is a Craftsman rental home on the property, and there is substantial privacy between the home and cottage. If you are looking to host family or friends for a special event or holiday, both the house and cottage may be rented together.
The house and cottage are located behind a tall fence with mature trees and vegetation, creating a sense of privacy from an active neighborhood. The cottage is located behind the main property. Walking around the right of the main house, you'll arrive at the cottage.
The property is centrally located in the heart of the historic Whiteaker neighborhood, providing easy access to the best restaurants, breweries, wineries and music venues. The thriving urban Whiteaker neighborhood is close to the Willamette River, UO, Autzen Stadium, 5th Street Market, and the restaurant district.
Named for Oregon's first Governor, the historic Whiteaker is considered Eugene's most eclectic neighborhood. Entrepreneurs have established popular venues in this neighborhood to share their culinary, musical, brewing and wine making talents. Most recently, the Whiteaker has become identified as Eugene's brewery district. Several craft breweries, including Ninkasi, Hop Valley, Oakshire and Falling Sky are located within a few blocks of one another. Recently earning accolades from Esquire magazine as one of America's best bars, Sam Bond's Garage is an iconic night spot showcasing regional musicians on an almost-nightly basis. The Whiteaker neighborhood is best for folks who have a tolerance for human diversity, and do not mind occasional interactions with transients. The neighborhood is safe, but a touch more exhilarating than typical surburbia.
A mix of commercial and residential structures, enjoy the serenity of the cottage or walk in any direction from the cottage to enjoy this up and coming eccentric historic district of Eugene!
The gorgeous Willamette River is only a few blocks away and easily accessed by walking 10 minutes north of the cottage. Enjoy an evening stroll along the Willamette River or go for a run, bicycle ride or walk along this gorgeous river that runs through the town of Eugene.

Cozy bed, well-equipped, great location, was perfect for our needs on this trip. Garden is lovely. We even enjoyed a short visit from the neighbors cat Lulu. Would love to stay again!
Really enjoyed the stay. The place is in walking distance to many great places to eat and get really good coffee. It's quiet and peaceful. Everything you need is there!
Very comfortable as a base for us through the week. Would stay again. Offering a friendly suggestion to put better bedside lamps for reading in the bedroom as it was somewhat dim. Overall, good stay.
I had the best experience. Check in and out was easy, the host was very nice and was always to help if I needed anything during my visit, and the area was quiet. I would stay here again :)
We arranged for a very late check in. Eve sent photos so we could find the right property at 11 pm at night. She checked in with us to see if we had everything we needed the next morning. We had a pleasant stay in this quiet neighborhood.
The location was very convenient for traveling around the state- we used it as a “home base” for visiting the coast and parks in the greater area.
The cottage had everything we needed and the bed was very comfy! We enjoyed the AC after long days of travel.
The place was very clean, well maintained and supplied. The booking process was easy and they communicated well with us. We would definitely stay here again! :)
The cottage was indeed charming. It also was squeaky clean, well provisioned, and located in a fun, quirky neighborhood. Excellent communication with Eve. Looking forward to staying again in the future!
There were a couple hiccups, but Eve got right on things. The outdoor garden area was lovely with a mature maintained landscape. Super convenient location for me near my kids.
An absolutely charming little cottage. Yes, it's very much hidden, but the privacy added to the charm. Plenty of seating outside in a lush backyard. If you're looking for an affordable and cozy place to lay your head, this place is pretty spot on.
