Lovely old house with beautiful wood floors & lots of windows. Wish the weather had been better so we could have enjoyed the yard more (it must be wonderful in Summer). Comfortable bed, very clean, nice kitchen with a lovely breakfast/dining nook.

A Real Gem

Ruth's Cottage is as advertised - a charming farmhouse which has plenty of vintage touches AND is comfortable, cozy, and with all the amenities one needs. And its location can't be beat - just a short walk to downtown Carlton, an easy drive to McMinnville, and convenient access to everything that Willamette Valley wine country has to offer. I can't wait to return to Ruth's Cottage!

Love Carlton!

Carlton is a great place to stay when exploring the wineries of Willamette Valley and this little cottage is perfectly situated walking distance to the restaurants, bars, and bakery. Host is very attentive and house was very clean. You'll love the details down to the bath soap made by a local shop in town!

We chose the perfect place for our winery experience….

Within walking distance of the quaint Main Street in Carlton, this home served as the epicenter for our winery experiences across the Willamette Valley. If you are a couple that loves antiques, clawed footed cast iron bathtubs, wood floors, and a beautiful yard, this place is for you. It is well-appointed, clean, and roomy. Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful, cozy, elegant home

We stayed here for our wedding weekend and it was absolutely perfect! So cozy and beautifully decorated we wished it was our home. The small touches for our dog including food and water bowls, treat, dog towels, bags and furniture covers so our pup could enjoy the furniture as well. This all really showed another level of care for guests . Along with a welcome bottle of wine and some snacks. The whole house was very clean and well kept. Highly recommend!

Pleasant home in wine country

We stayed in this home to visit the Willamette Valley wine country. Carlton is a small town and a walk over. McMinnville is a short drive over. Everything was a short drive away. The home was equipped with everything we needed. We were looking forward to using the record player but it wasn’t working. Parking was a bit difficult since we were driving a Jeep truck and we could t quite fit into the driveway without sticking into the road. We had to park diagonally. The home is beautiful and the outdoor space was too, but we were unable to use it since it was raining throughout our entire stay.

Peaceful wine country escape

This is our 3rd stay in the area over the past few years but the first time in Carlton. The house was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The bed was comfortable and the towels/linens were quality and clean. Wi-fi worked great for streaming. Check-in was seamless. The location in Carlton is great - very walkable to numerous restaurants and wine tasting rooms (we loved Flaneur). We went to the Carlton Bakery several mornings for coffee, amazing pastries, and hot breakfast options. Nearest grocery store we found was in McMinnville - only about 10 min away. We took one day trip to Tillamook and the coast (about 2 hours each way) and we spent the rest exploring various wineries and nearby towns (Dundee and Newberg are favorites). We can’t seem to stay away from the Willamette Valley for too long and are sure to be back again in the next couple years!

While early 20-something daughter may have initially groused about the pull-out, she was JUST FINE havng her own room.Carlton was such a sweet surprise and we had a really great weekend celebrating our fave Uni Grad with dear friends.I'll be back - maybe for longer next time!HIGHLY recommend.
