About this property

Wine Country Gem in downtown McMinnville. Walk to Wineries & Restaurants!

  • Welcome to our Wine Country Gem in downtown McMinnville!! This vintage 1930s bungalow was renovated in 2023 from top to bottom to preserve its charming character with modern upgrades and amenities. Everything in the bungalow is brand new! The open concept floorplan is perfect for entertaining with two sets of French doors leading out to a spacious, all season covered porch that is a stones throw away from Flag & Wire Coffee Roasters, the Grain Station Brewery and Restaurant, Alpine Crossing and Kitchen, Eyrie Vineyards, Mac Market and so much more. The spacious living room features gorgeous art from the Erin Hanson gallery, a large sofa, loveseat and accent chair and a fabulous fireplace. The beautiful designer kitchen is fully equipped with high end appliances, including a gas stove and oven, luxurious Quartz countertops and a farmhouse sink. The 2 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath bungalow also features designer tile and lighting, shiplap accent walls, luxury wood plank flooring, and central heating and air conditioning. When you stay at our Wine Country Gem, you don't have to compromise on style, charm, location or convenience!!!

    LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!
    The bungalow is conveniently located in the 'Granary District | Winery Row' neighborhood of downtown McMinnville. It has a Walk Score of 92, which means it's a Walkers Paradise within steps of tasting rooms, coffee roasters, breweries, dining and entertainment.

    Our stylish and classy bungalow is directly across the street from our very popular tiny house hotel, The Boutique Retreat. The bungalow faces Alpine Avenue, which is a pedestrian friendly street that was redeveloped by the City to promote festivals and community events. It is in a light industrial, arts & crafts district that has edible landscaping, garden boxes, murals and public art. Our neighbors include wine makers, brewers, bakers, coffee roasters, restaurants and entertainment venues.

    McMinnville is considered the 'heart' of the Oregon Wine Country with over 17 tasting rooms and a beautiful, historic downtown that has been featured in numerous publications as one of the best wine country towns in the USA and one of the top places to visit in the world by Time Magazine (March 2023)! The Willamette Wine Country has over 700 wineries to explore so there are endless opportunities to plan an amazing and memorable wine country getaway.

    With a Walk Score of 92 (a Walker's Paradise), our guests can have fun visiting wineries and when they get back to the bungalow, they can park the car and easily travel on foot to one of the many local tasting rooms, breweries or restaurants.

    McMinnville embraces the arts and live music so you can often find musicians playing along the streets and in the tasting rooms or brew pubs. We affectionately refer to McMinnville as 'Disneyland for Adults'. It truly is a paradise for wine enthusiasts and the natural beauty of Oregon is unparalleled.

    Located about an hour from Portland and an hour from the Oregon Coast, it is perfectly situated to plan and explore other outdoor adventures. There are so many excellent choices, the hardest decision to make is how much fun you can fit in to your vacation!

Amazing Short Term Rental

This is one of the best Short Term Rentals I have stayed in! The Hosts have thought of every little detail to help make for an enjoyable stay...right down to the electric fireplaces in each room. The home was clean, quiet and exactly as advertised. You cannot go wrong when booking this property.

Great place! Ready to move in!

Was sad to leave such a great place - super well appointed and decorated, feels brand new, and is very cozy. Well located for proximity to good restaurants, pubs, tasting rooms and shops. Can tell there has been recent reinvestment happening in the neighborhood with more on the horizon.

Amazing place to stay in McMinnville!

This house was beautiful, comfortable, very well appointed, and has a great location! The hosts were easy to communicate with and very accommodating. My sisters and I went for the weekend to celebrate a birthday and couldn’t have been happier with this house! Our favorite thing to do was to sit on the front porch on the cool mornings with the chiminea on and a cup of coffee in our hands. We would definitely stay here again!

Fabulous Accommodations!

What a darling cottage- so clean and comfy. The furniture and decor were above and beyond! Very stylish. The two bedrooms and 1 1/2 bath were perfect for my friend and I. The beds were extremely comfortable- with nice linens. The location was perfect for a short walk to mainstreet and the many restaurants. One of the nicest VRBO properties that either of us have stayed! Thank you!

Great place

We stayed for 3 nights at this wonderful spot. I almost don’t want to review it because it was so nice and in such a great location that it will soon be impossible to get in! This is a really cute and well decorated little home. They have thought of everything- fireplaces I. Each room, lots of outlets, a well stocked kitchen with some basics like salt/pepper, seasonings, pan, coffee, sugar, creamer etc! The linens and beds were very comfortable, shower had lots of hot water, and good pressure! The washer and drier were very nice and they gave you some supplies for a few loads of laundry. The location was in walking distance to many restaurants and to third street. We enjoyed sitting in the porch and eating breakfast or having a glass of wine

We stayed in this cute, beautifully renovated home while attending a family wedding. It was within walking distance of downtown and provided the perfect place for our family to gather. The home was not only beautifully decorated, but also incredibly functional and thoughtfully designed—there wasn’t a single thing we needed that wasn’t already provided.We especially enjoyed having breakfast and dinner on the front porch. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet, even though the house is conveniently located on a side street near downtown. Communication with the host was prompt, clear, and straightforward. We would absolutely stay here again when visiting Oregon wine country!
