Garden Cottage on College Hill
This is a clean, quiet, sunny, sweet, little cottage tucked into a quiet alley in the Friendly Area Neighborhood on College Hill, only a mile from downtown and the University of Oregon. If you like walking, it's easy to get most places on foot, yet it is privately situated behind another property we own and accessible via a quiet alley. Parking is private, off-street and very close.
In the summer, there is an air conditioner to keep the temperature comfortable. In the winter you can sit in front of the gas fireplace and watch movies curled up under one of the throws. There is a love seat, an armchair and a rocking chair to relax in.
The living room, kitchen and dining area have an open floor plan. There are doors to the bedroom and bathroom. Our remodeled vintage cottage features the original exposed brick chimney and fir floors from the 1940s, which give it a nice warm glow. It is full of windows and skylights. There are updated tile floors in the kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen has a gas stove to cook on and is stocked with quality pots and pans and a Keurig coffee maker with coffee provided. There are fresh herbs growing just outside the front door for you to snip! There is a 27" smart TV and high speed internet with which you can enjoy TV shows and movies through your Netflix, Hulu or other entertainment accounts. There is also an HDMI cable so you can connect your device directly to the TV.
Just outside the windows of the main living area there is a little brick patio, garden beds and a rose arbor. It is a lovely place in the warmer months to enjoy a cup of coffee and a good book, sip a glass of wine with a friend or enjoy a full meal. The maple tree gives you nice shade in the summer and beautiful foliage in the fall.
Our downtown is bustling with casual to upscale cafes, restaurants, brew pubs unique food booths, shops and theaters. I am happy to offer suggestions if you let me know what you're looking for!
I live next door so I am readily available to respond to any issues that arise. I enjoy meeting new people and sharing insider information about our lovely town if it is desired, but level of interaction is totally up each guest. The cottage has a keyless entry and is set up for self check-in.

Jennifer's cottage is charming, clean, quiet, and its location was perfect for my visit with family that lives locally. She is very welcoming, and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Thank you!
We have rented several homes over the years that our daughter was at UO and this was by far our favorite! Great for a couple. Beautiful peaceful cottage in an alley with a great garden, comfortable bed and everything we needed!
Good location for visiting grandchild at O U, very comfortable for two people, host very pleasant and helpful if needed. One very minor complaint, no local T V available.I would stay there again.
Easy check in process, and flexible check out. Well equipped kitchen and bath with most everything you'd need if you happen to forget something. Communicative and friendly host. Would definitely stay again.Thank you!
Very nice place! The host was exceptionally helpful and friendly. Excellent location. No negaties what so ever! I can't say enough about what a great place this is!

So cozy and comfortable. Loved the gas fireplace. Wish the tv had an antenna for local channels, but not necessary.
We had a great time at this garden cottage! It's a beautiful, quiet location, central to everything and easy to access. Everything was exactly as described and the kitchen was really well supplied if you want to make something during your stay! Highly recommend.
It is obvious that the owner cares about making the cottage a comfortable place to stay. There are many personal touches and conveniences in the cottage. The bed is comfortable and the cottage is really cozy!
What a delightful experience staying at the Garden Cottage. The photos and description were spot on. The cottage was spotlessly clean, well-appointed, and very comfortable. It was just the place my wife and I needed for our visit to this part of Oregon. Finally, both my wife and I can’t speak highly enough about our host Jennifer. She was super responsive and helpful with some questions we had about local restaurants. We both highly recommend the Garden Cottage for a stay in the Eugene area.
This little cottage is a gem...quiet neighborhood, very cosey, everything you need to feel right at home. The host was thoughtful and easy to communicate with. I will stay again !💛
This little cabin is the perfect spot to stay if you are visiting Eugene! It was centrally located, had parking, and looked exactly as the photos, while still being private and cozy! Our host Jennifer was attentive and provided everything we needed for our stay. Sadly it rained all weekend when we stayed, but had to been nicer, it would have been perfect to get around on foot! We wouldn’t hesitate to rent this cabin again if we were in town! 10 outta 10!
We found the cottage to be a cozy home away from home that fit our needs for our several days in Eugene and nestled among beautiful trees, flowers and plants. We found it was supplied with everything needed for meals at the cottage and convenient walking distance to restaurants. It was fun walking in the neighborhood, enjoying a sense of place and admiring homes and gardens in the area. Jennie is a convivial and knowledgeable host who will match your interests with available activities and is great at communicating with you and providing touch points if needed. Highly recommend host and home!
Came down for a convention -heard from my fellow convention goers who stayed at the convention venue how awful it was. In comparison we had a comfy bed, a quiet neighborhood, our own kitchen with everything we needed, nearby Cornecopia restaruant with delicious food. Everything was wonderful. Attentive host that dealt with an issue with the lock code very quickly and had great communication.restraunt with th
Sweet vintage cottage in the heart of Eugene Oregon
Staying at the Sweet Vintage Cottage in the heart of Eugene, Oregon, was truly a delightful experience. The host was incredibly welcoming, making me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. Even in February, before the gardens began to bloom, the cozy atmosphere wrapped around me like a warm embrace. The bed was a haven of comfort, inviting me to relax and recharge. I left with a heart full of memories and a promise to return. This charming cottage is a treasure, and I can't wait to experience its beauty in full bloom on my next visit to Eugene!
Jennifer was very welcoming and available, and the space itself suited my needs perfectly. I loved the fireplace and the skylights in the living room! There was a full moon while I was there so it was magical.
My husband, 5 & 2 year olds and I stayed here for 4 days while exploring Eugene. It was the perfect spot to come back to for afternoon naps/making meals.
