Charming Cottage: A Private Garden Retreat in Historic Whiteaker Neighborhood

Set back from the street amid mature trees, flowering gardens, and fenced outdoor spaces, the Cottage feels surprisingly quiet and private while remaining steps from the energy and creativity that define the Whiteaker.
Filled with natural light, the 450-square-foot Cottage features tall ceilings and windows in every room, creating an inviting sense of openness. The bedroom includes a mahogany queen-size sleigh bed with a plush pillow-top mattress, luxury linens, a down comforter, and views of the private flower garden.
The comfortable living area offers a cozy sofa chair, a writer's desk, and an HDTV with complimentary Netflix. An HDMI cable is also provided for streaming content from your laptop or device.
Whether you're preparing a simple breakfast or a gourmet dinner, the fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to cook and dine at home, or al fresco in the garden.
Step outside into the peaceful garden designed for relaxation and connection with nature. Enjoy your morning coffee among the flowers, unwind with a good book beneath the trees, or savor an evening meal in the private outdoor seating areas.
The Cottage shares the property with a beautifully restored Craftsman home, though mature landscaping and thoughtful design provide privacy between the two spaces. Planning a family gathering or special celebration? The Cottage and Craftsman can be rented together, subject to availability.
Located just minutes from downtown Eugene, the University of Oregon, Autzen Stadium, the 5th Street Market District, and the scenic Willamette River, you'll have easy access to Eugene's most popular destinations. Walk to local breweries, cafés, restaurants, wine bars, and live music venues, or take a short stroll to the riverfront paths for biking, running, or evening walks.

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!
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 :)
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.
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! :)
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 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!
