This property is in a quiet neighborhood. It is a charming little house. The beds were very comfortable and that is always very important. Not many hotels in this area and it was near where I wanted to visit family so I did not have to drive very far to visit. The owners were very responsive when we needed any kind of assistance. We will surely stay here again!

Fabulous!
My sister lives nearby in a very small house, so we’re all congregated at this vrbo. It was wonderful! The home was so well stocked - were grilled out, played cards and trivial pursuit and had a great time. The home was clean. There was coffee, oil for cooking, spices, pans…everything! We ran out of propane and they were prepared with a spare. I can’t recommend highly enough!

Wonderful!
This is almost the favorite place I have ever stayed at. The owner was very helpful. I was so comfortable and peaceful. All the details made the house so very special. Just all the special little touches down tothe doilies. The diverse library, the sunroom, the screened in room. The yard was so beautiful with all the hostas and old growth trees. I hope to come back again.

Celebration of Life
We came to honor my brother and your home was the perfect spot for it. I moved from Oregon in 1978 and come back often . It was so great to look at all your memorabilia . It was comfortable with all the extra blankets as we sat and talked about old times. We sat at the table for breakfast and we’re happy with all it. I can’t wait to come back and sit in the screened in porch and watch all the squirrels run and play.The beds were all comfortable so we were able to get some good sleep. I would defiantly recommend staying here. Thank you for sharing your home.

Quaint, Quiet, Clean and Comfy
We stayed for 5 days. Place was very clean and well stocked with everything you would need for a short stay. The beds were comfy and the house was cozy warm on what were the coldest days of the winter. Great neighborhood. Very quite. Highly recommend and will stay again when back in town.

Charming, well maintained property
We had a pleasant stay in this charming cottage in town Oregon, Illinois. It’s clean and they had everything needed. It’s a well-maintained property that was great for the two of us, although there is room for more. The owners of the property are very courteous and responsive. You can walk to the town center, it’s not super close, but certainly walkable. Plus, it’s on a beautiful street so it’s a nice walk. The area is also quiet, which is nice. We thought the beds were comfortable, which is especially important to us. The second bedroom is small, but functional. Overall, I recommend the property if you are okay with staying in a charming older cottage. We would stay again.
