Carlton Gates - Willamette Valley Luxury Vacation Rental
Step into an Oasis of style, comfort and privacy in the heart of this most charming wine country.
Perhaps the most ideal location in the Willamette Valley for couples, families and friends visiting Wine Country. Inspired by award winning designer Kim Morris of Morris Design, Inc., Carlton Gates is unlike any accommodation in the area. Not remotely situated, Carlton Gates is in the middle of everything yet secluded from everyone. Within walking (or biking!) distance of charming downtown Carlton's many Tasting Rooms and new Swimming Pool while still centrally located to area Wineries and Scenic Vineyards.
Featuring a spacious kitchen with large island and gas fireplace for guests to gather round that opens to the Great Room where good company continues among friends. Have an elegant dinner together in the dining room with built in buffet and then move outdoors to enjoy two patio areas each with their own firepit. Feeling contemplative?....take a stroll around the back courtyard or enjoy a bottle of wine in the corner Adirondack Settee under a Blue Spruce.
If your group wants to enjoy a movie in the theater, it will feel like their own private screening with a 70 inch screen and surround sound. When it's time for bed, you can go your separate ways into two Master Suites, Guest Bedroom and Second Guest Bedroom. Two additional guests are accommodated on a comfy pullout sofa sleeper in the theater. The Two Master Suites and First Guest Bedroom each have their own outside private sitting area with bistro table and chairs.

Good food choices in town. Carlton is smack in the middle of wine country, minutes to well known, quality producers - but it is small, quiet and laid back. Bravo, be back next year!

Charles, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and felt the charm of Carlton. Model guest 5 Stars!
This was the ideal location for our family group of 10 to celebrate an early Christmas. Easy walk into town and the two children in our group appreciated the back yard and “toys.” Loved the comfortable accommodations and the fun decor. We would definitely stay here again.
We had a wonderful stay, great weather and tastes some great wine. David is a great host and very responsive. The house is beautiful and has just about everything you need.
Beautiful home! We very much enjoyed our stay. The inside space was comfortable and clean. Due to the weather, we were unable to take advantage of the outdoors.
We flew in from California and had the absolute pleasure of hosting Christmas with my husband’s side of the family in this beautiful home. It offered the perfect balance of comfort and entertainment for guests of all ages, making our holiday truly special.With the rainy weather, the indoor fireplace kept everyone warm and cozy, creating the most inviting atmosphere. The spacious kitchen and large island provided more than enough room for preparing our Christmas feast and gathering together throughout the day. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the showers felt like a resort-level retreat—such a treat after long days of family time and festivities.One evening, our family took a walk down the street to enjoy the Christmas lights, which added an extra layer of magic to our stay. We were also lucky to meet Cindy from the cleaning crew, who was so welcoming and pleasant—it truly made us feel at home.This home exceeded our expectations, and we will absolutely be back next year. A perfect place to make lasting holiday memories.
We had a wonderful 4-night stay! The home was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Everything we needed was provided, and the location was perfect for our plans. Communication with the host was smooth and responsive. We’d definitely stay here again—highly recommended!
Carlton Gates was a perfect house for our family of three generations. We came for a family wedding. Lived the location, with walking distance to the park, shops, tasting rooms, and restaurants. There was lots of room in the four common spaces and outside to enjoy each others company. It was a great stay
This house was perfect! Plenty of room, great kitchen and close to everything we needed or wanted. Wi-Fi was also great for one of us to work remote one day. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies and utensils. Even scotch tape for warping a wedding gift! Love the windows, but the Dino g room light was a bit dim
This is a lovely home for our large group. Plenty of room and we were impressed by the kitchen supplies and comfortable furnishings! Great location for walking in to town.
