A fully equipped and beautifully curated farmhouse for the whole family. Dale and Peggy offered a beautiful retreat style opportunity for a last minute family gathering.

About the host

Hosted by Dale Donovan

Host profile image
I was born and raised in Corvallis. After high school, I spent 4 years in the military. Upon discharge, I enrolled and graduated from OSU with an art degree. After I graduation, I purchased the farm from my parents and built my studio and display room here. I have been a working ceramic artist since 1969.

Why they chose this property

My mother's family moved to Oregon via covered wagon in 1852. They settled in the Willamette Valley. My father traveled from the midwest in 1936, married my mother Lucille and they settled permanently in Corvallis. I grew up in this house and I purchased the house and tree farm from my parents after I graduated from college. I built my ceramics studio here and I have been selling pottery and trees from this location since my graduation from Oregon State University.

What makes this property unique

The city has grown up around us, the tree farm remains a peaceful refuge. There is a ring of 200 year old Oregon white oaks around us. And almost every evening in the summer, a cooling wind from the Pacific blows across the valley and through our oaks and firs.
