About this property

Historic Victorian estate in the heart of Willamette Valley wine country

Make your visit to wine country memorable with a stay at the 5 star reviewed Historic Dayton Wine House on the National Historic Registry. You’ll feel the grandness of this 1885 Victorian home right when you step inside and experience its 11 foot ceilings and oversized rooms. This is the prominent home on the Dayton town square featuring over 3400 finished square feet, comfortably sleeping 11 people in 5 bedrooms with 2 full bathrooms. Perfect for both large or small groups.

It is very important to us that sleeping be a luxurious experience the same as staying at a high end hotel: the mattresses are so comfortable and the linens and towels are all clean, white and high quality, that guests frequently ask where they can get them for their own homes.

The kitchen is fully equipped for preparing a gourmet meal, with room for several chefs to cook at once. The 10 foot farmhouse table is a great gathering place and comfortably seats 12 people. There is a propane Weber for grilling and a large deck for enjoying a glass of wine outside. The half acre yard is perfect for kids or adults playing lawn games or just relaxing in the hammocks. Directly across the street the town square is a park including a playground, dog park and basketball court.

After a day of exploring and wine tasting, settle in to watch a movie on the theater-sized 135” HD projection TV with Paradigm speakers, or relax and listen to music in one of the leather club chairs in the adjacent living room. Or just take a soothing salt soak in the clawfoot tub.

Oregon is a world-class wine destination and recently celebrated the 50th anniversary of the first planting of its pinot noir grapes. The wine house is perfectly positioned in the middle of the Willamette Valley for easy access to taste at one of its 400+ wineries and also close to the towns of Mcminnville, Newberg, Dundee and Carlton. Multi-million dollar tasting rooms with jaw-dropping views and world class wines are only minutes away. We are happy to share our favorite wineries or help with any suggestions for your trip.

For dining, walk a few blocks to The Joel Palmer house, one of the best fine dining restaurants in the Willamette Valley whose menu centers around mushrooms and truffles the owners forage. For breakfast, just walk directly across the street to The Blockhouse Cafe in an immaculately restored 1886 church.

Juanita’s Cafe has ice-cream in the front and excellent Mexican food in the back. Seufert winery and tasting room is also directly across the street from the wine house.

Gorgeous house in a beautiful setting
This historic house was not only beautifully restored but also well appointed. It had everything we needed to enjoy ourselves if we chose to stay in but was also centrally located to great wine & restaurant locations. We will definitely be back!

Unique & spacious Victorian escape
We had a lovely stay at this gorgeous home in Dayton. Huge yard, big, comfortable rooms with lots of rooms for our group of 3 families to spread out. It was one of the most beautiful & unique homes we’ve stayed in and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Great spot for wine tours
The house is located in a quiet little town in the mist of the vineyards. Across the street is the town square with a small park. And on the other side of the square is Juanita’s, a great family owned Mexican restaurant and ice cream shop. It was great to get to know Juanita and it was our go-to place for tacos. Classic street tacos with a good beer on tap (for a break from all the wine). The house is very spacious, great kitchen and a great yard which found perfect for bocce! We like to cocktail in the evenings with bubbles and bocce and we had a lot of fun. (Of course it seems most vineyards these days have a sparkling which we believe is made for afternoon bocce.) The house was very clean and well stocked with supplies. We found it an easy in and easy out operation. We look forward to coming back for our next Willamette visit.

A+ Weekend.
This is a beautiful property! It is very comfortable, with everything one could ask for. Our group came from multiple states and hadn't seen each other recently. We wanted a house where we could all be together and reconnect. The cousins loved the bikes and took them out multiple times to ride around town. The backyard games were a hit while we grilled out. The inside closet is well stocked with games and the cousins really enjoyed the theater sized screen to watch movies. Blue tooth speakers at the house provided the sound --and the beds are amazing! This really is a great home, such a comfortable feeling to it!

About the host

Host profile image
Greg and Kathryn are long time residents of Portland. Greg, originally from Oxford, Mississippi, graduated from University of Mississippi and is a realtor with Think Real Estate. Kathryn is from Cleveland, Ohio, graduated from Northwest University and is Senior Event Coordinator Vibrant Table Catering & Events.

Because of our mutual love of the Willamette Valley and their passion for Oregon pinot noir, we purchased The Historic Dayton Wine House in 2014 to have a second home in the area we love. We have been coming to Oregon wine country for years and still get excited each time we go, discovering a new winery or exploring backroads to find a new favorite restaurant. When not in wine country we love to travel and enjoy all things outdoors.

Why they chose this property

We feel incredibly fortunate to be the owners and caretakers of this beautiful historic property. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places the wine house is a beautiful example of Victorian style architecture. Known as the “Gabriel-Will house” on the historic register, this is a prominent house in Dayton overlooking the town square on a large 1/2 acre lot.

It has been a dream come true having a home in wine county and are so excited to be able to share it with our guests. Perfect in size for large groups or with a smaller group, each couple can have their own floor. Please note we get requests for events and large gatherings that we have to turn down all the time as there is a strict rule of only the guests staying at the house can be on the property. If you have any questions please reach out.

What makes this property unique

Dayton is like stepping back in time, and vacationing here feels a world away from the big city. Dayton residents take great pride in their town and hold special events throughout the year that are fun to participate in. The summer concerts in the park on Friday nights are our favorite.

Come experience what both we and our previous guests have loved about vacationing at the Historic Dayton Wine House.
