About this property

On the river with your own private boat and dock!Moments from downtown!

You won't want to leave here after spending a few days looking out at the river and acres of scenic land across the canal. Very relaxing with the feeling of a great lodge as you listen to the sound of the waterfall! Enjoy your morning coffee in one of 3 beautiful outdoor sitting areas or in the hot tub. Pre's Trail is right across the waterway or if you're wanting a bike ride there are 5 bikes available to enjoy miles of bike trails right outside your door.
Sunsets are amazing around the outdoor gas fire pit as you watch the wildlife. You will feel like you're in a private resort yet you are moments from downtown.
There is also a man cave with a pool table and 80 inch TV. Truly a gem of a property!

Duck Game

The house is perfect for a large group. We were 4 couples in town for a duck game, and the house is in an ideal location to walk to autzen. Hot tub stand up paddle boards and the big screen TVs. Kept us busy. We will definitely rent this place again.

Perfect for our couples weekend

We came to visit friends/family and stayed at this wonderful property with one other couple. The house has all of the amenities you need and then some. The back yard is beautiful with so many lounging options. We used the brand new paddle boards as well as the little electric boat; so much fun to cruise up and down the canal. We were able to check in early, and home was very clean. Will definitely return.

Beautiful house and yard. Pictures don't do the property justice.

We had multiple generations staying at this house. Very comfortable for 7 people, ranging in age from 17 months to 63. Plenty of room for everyone the back yard is a great escape. Plenty of shade during the day and right on the water so it doesn't feel as warm as it really is. The younger people in the group really enjoyed the little boat the is on the canal. We enjoyed our stay and didn't want to come back to the hot weather and real world.

This beautiful home served perfectly for my small family reunion. The spacious rooms with abundant comfortable seating areas allowed for many wonderful conversations. We enjoyed the view across the dreamy waterway to the open fields beyond. We had a lovely walk along the nearby trails, where we encountered a friendly heron. The host was very friendly and open for questions. Our family will treasure the memories that we made there.

Beautiful Location, But Disappointing Experience. Unfortunately, the overall experience did not meet our expectations, especially compared to other VRBO homes we've stayed in.The house itself was very cluttered, with many areas of the kitchen not properly cleaned. It was clear the property is owner-occupied: closets and drawers were full, personal belongings were everywhere, and there were cars in both the garage and driveway. This made the home feel less like a vacation rental and more like we were staying in someone else's personal space.When we arrived, the house felt muggy and stuffy. The outdoor deck area was dirty and full of spider webs.The listing also failed to mention that the king-sized bed is located on the lower level. Unfortunately, that room was inaccessible to me due to a knee injury, which significantly impacted our comfort. The game room is connected to the garage and could not be aired out properly, making it unusable.After returning home, we shared our concerns with the owner. They responded with photos showing that some areas (like the kitchen and cluttered drawers) had since been cleaned. However, we never received an apology for the condition of the house or the misleading listing.There were other issues we chose not to mention in this review.This property may be better suited for a home exchange platform rather than being listed at full price on VRBO.

Fantastic Riverside House

We were 2 families (8 people) in Eugene for UO graduation and this house suited us perfectly. We had plenty of space to spread out and the yard and riverside setting were amazing. In addition we were able to walk to the graduation ceremony at Autzen as it was less than a mile.

Got the job done

Overall the property was okay. The location was beautiful and peaceful. The house and outdoor area was extremely cluttered. The house was muggy upon arrival and most of the windows were missing screens, making it uncomfortable for me to leave windows open overnight. Deck area was incredibly dirty. Light fixtures/chandelier partially covered with cobwebs. Probably wouldn’t rent this house again next year.

UoO Parent’s Weekend

This house really offers a home away from home to spend time with daughter, her friends and family. Watched Spring footballl and after a short walk back, were able to watch Oregon baseball on big TV in family room. A great place to relax, talk walks along the river. The house offers so much, is easy access to campus and shops snd the hosts really made it so simple to enjoy our stay. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Happy Holidays!

We rented the house so we could have a place to gather for a Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day family get-together. The house was decorated beautifully. The Christmas spirit was alive. The house was well stocked, and had everything we needed to cook a full Christmas dinner. Overall, the trip was successful, and we were happy with our accommodations.

Amazing space to visit, enjoy family and the outdoors

This quirky house has everything you could need and a wonderful outside space. Our family came in for an event at Hayward Field and the house was just the space we needed. There is plenty of space to host (we had our track team over to grill one night) and all the amenities you could ask for and then some. The bedrooms upstairs easily fit two people per bed and the living room is where we set our kids up. There was not a true bunk space, but that extra living area allowed us to set up air mattresses, or have the kids crash on the couch and have have their own space. The only thing that is lacking is storage space. The cabinets in the kitchen are full, so if you bring extra things that would use pantry space, there isn't really any....be prepared to just put it on the counters. The downstairs master also has limited drawer space or a place to hang your things. If you like to unpack your things like I do, then the master doesn't have a ton of space for that. Some of the bedrooms upstairs have the space, but not all the rooms. The outside space is AMAZING. Tons of seating, grills, a Trager, and more. We loved just sitting on the dock or the upper deck having our morning coffee or late night cocktails. We met the owner and he was wonderful. He gave us little hints on how to turn on the water features and info on the boats. Overall it was a great fit for us and we will definitely want to book it in the future.

WCH Oregon22 Trip

We had an amazing time staying at this property for the track and field world championships in July. The backyard was so peaceful and relaxing for morning coffee, watching ducks and geese along the river, to late night cocktails on the deck. We walked to Hayward Field each day which was an easy 1.8 mile walk along the running/biking paths. Kitchen was stocked with any and all equipment we could need. Neighborhood was quiet. Property owner checked on us via text and made sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone doing a visit to Eugene!

All that we hoped for and more!

When we were planning our family reunion, we hoped for a house that was not only big enough for all of us but was a destination itself! Well this house delivered that and more! The pictures really don’t do it justice! Everywhere you turned, there was another cool deck to hang out on , another awesome view of the canal, another great place to sit and visit! The canals/river were calm enough to feel totally comfortable having the kids go out on the paddle boards and the little pontoon boat was a HUGE hit. The kids ranged from 10 to 18 and were pretty much PHONE FREE (!!!) the whole week because they were outside adventuring on the river! Miracle, amirite?!? There were enough bedrooms for everyone ( comfie beds all around) and the kitchen was a cooks dream! Mike ( the owner) was kind and responsive and we just couldn’t be happier with our stay! 10 out of 10, would recommend!
