Fabulous home on the Mckenzie River.
About this house rental
Nestled in Vida, this lovely house for $529 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. We were very fortunate to have our beautiful home on the Mckenzie River spared from the devastating fires of 2020, and so we wanted to help those less fortunate in our community. We therefore took the decision to rent our home full-time to a family who had to rebuild their own home. We are however delighted to now be able to offer Union House for vacation rentals again and to help families and friends make wonderful memories at our home on the river. The Union House is located in Vida just across the Good Pasture Bridge off Highway 126, 40 mins from Eugene. From its elevated riverside location, Union House enjoys one of the best views on the McKenzie taking in the glorious river, majestic mountains and the iconic Goodpasture covered bridge . The property enjoys its own dock and river frontage making it ideal for fishing and fun on the McKenzie. There are also abundant hiking and biking trails nearby. When it's time to relax, flop onto one of our many outdoor seating options, cuddle up with a book in a chair by the fire, enjoy riverside dining and entertaining in comfy chairs by the fire bowl or on one of the house's three massive deck, all with that marvellous view. Outside the property sweeps down to the river with the house boasting three tiers of large decking with seating options to admire the views up and down the river, have a BBQ or maybe a glass or two of Oregon’s finest wines and brews. Inside the accommodation is split over two levels. The top level has a fully equipped kitchen with breakfast nook, a large living and dining area with jaw-dropping views, half bath and utility room. Also located on the upper level is the master bedroom with its own balcony perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or just escaping the world, as well as en-suite bathroom with double vanity, tub and shower. Downstairs is the family room complete with bar, dart board and many other games, books and again that incredible view, as well as two bedrooms and a family bathroom. The area is a perfect base to explore the wonderful McKenzie River.

Union House
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Union House. This property is very welcoming and we instantly felt at home. The house was well stocked, clean, and the view can’t be beat. We fished, floated on the river, roasted marshmallows, relaxed on the decks, and lounged on all the comfy seating throughout the house.

Just what we needed
I can’t say enough good things about this place. From check-in to check-out it was perfect. The location of the home was on a wonderful section of the river. We had a blast catching the plentiful trout and just relaxing on the water. The home was very clean and well appointed for even an extended stay. The communication with the owner and the property manager was also outstanding and very helpful. Don’t hesitate to book this place. We will be back for sure. Two things to note: as I’m sure was stated previously, the driveway is very steep so it’s not a good fit for low cars. Also, the WiFi is very slow which was an added benefit and great excuse to unplug.

It is always nice to sit and watch the river
We had no epic plans, just a little last-minute getaway for my wife's 50th birthday and with the current COVID situation, a local(ish) trip was in order. The home was larger than we needed but located wonderfully along the river ... it is always nice to be on or next to a beautiful river. The home is well appointed with comfortable living spaces (inside and out), and a spacious equipped kitchen.

Perfect Stress Buster
The Union House is the ideal decompress and connect with nature vacation rental. Our family LOVED everything about this house - location, beautiful views, cleanliness, super comfortable beds, plenty of clean towels, sheets and pillows, board games and puzzles. My family spent hours on together sitting on the decks (yes there are multiple decks with an amazing view of the river) enjoying the view and the sound of the river flowing. As for the owner Amy, she is by far the best ever vacation rental owner we have worked with. Truly appreciated her prompt and warm emails. The property manager Stephanie is fantastic too. We look forward to more vacations the Union House!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Union House. Nice view of the river and apparently a very popular fishing hole. It was fun to watch the boats reeling in fish. The place was spotless! We enjoyed the table top firebowl table for an evening meal overlooking the river. We’ll look forward to another visit soon!

Best Vaca House Yet
This place has such a unique layout and amazing charm, and fantastic views of the river, from every level of the house. Relaxing on the deck with the fire table with family was so relaxing and recharged our internal batteries. Everything was so easy, and every ammenity we could need was thought of. The movies & games available were awesome too. Even left us a little gift basket of Oregon-made treats. Thank you!

A Choice Rental
Union House has rightly earned its exceptional rating: the house is spacious, comfortable, and very well-appointed with plenty of room for guests to spread out and relax. The kitchen is well-equipped and the bedrooms and bathrooms are nicely furnished with plenty of clean linens and extra supplies. The decks and outside areas are a real plus: there's a fantastic view of the river with lots of comfortable seating , and the private dock makes it possible to launch your own watercraft. In short, whether you come to fish, float, or just watch the river, you're sure to be pleased with this lovely spot.

Will return
Great rental. It felt like being at home with all the amenities; coffee/welcome basket/kitchen supplies/condiments. Also, kayaks and fishing equipment available.
The river was Awesome and we were killing the trout.
It did not feel cheap or like a rental. Highly recommend.

Paradise on the McKenzie
The perfect place for 2 or 3 couples as there is ample space for privacy; or togetherness on one of the incredible decks that give beautiful views of the McKenzie. Michael & Theresa 7/20

Enchanting!
This was such a perfect place to stay - I could have spent the whole time looking at the river! Instead we were busy with family gatherings, but snuck in time for my son to catch is first fish from the dock and grill and eat it on the deck soon after! The views inside and out are amazing, lots of good space for hanging out with family in and out. Well equipped kitchen. Beautiful!

Awesome McKenzie River House
Just stayed at the Union House and would have to say what a great house. Couldn't ask for a better location on the river and perfect for our guys weekend of golf and fly fishing. House was well equipped with everything we needed and more. Also great management team, with excellent communication and assistance. We'll definitely book again next summer for our annual golf and fly fishing trip.

Oasis on the river.
Phenomenal experience staying at the Union House, right on the Mackenzie River, a very convenient 40 minute drive from Eugene.
We were up for our son's college graduation, and being outside of the craziness of Eugune proved to be a blessing, and staying at the Union House made our entire experience the better.
House is very much as advertised in pictures, if not better. Great kitchen, very comfortable beds & baths, and a killer view with lots of decking to relax on.
Love the ability to fly fish right outside the house, with family cheering me on from the upper deck!
Thank you Amy for making our stay so great, and for the flexibility to add another night on short notice. We loved it!

Mckinsey River Union House
We loved the property. We found the view of the river, the covered bridge and the gardens very relaxing even on the rainy days we had in May. There is plenty of space for everyone in side and out. If you feel like you need some city sights, Eugene is just a beautiful 30 minute drive away.
We look forward to a return visit and try our hand at fishing .

This is a beautiful home with gorgeous views. Very nice for family gatherings. I would come back.
This is a very nice house with a lot of gorgeous views. I had family over for entertaining. Between the large kitchen and the wrap around deck, we had more than enough room. I would go back there again.
