This beautiful well-cared for home easily accommodated our large family. We all agreed that it’s been our favorite vacation home so far. We especially appreciated that dishes and cookware were plentiful. Wendy added a special touch with all the thoughtful Christmas decor. She was very pleasant and easy to work with.

My multigenerational family stayed at the Villa over the Christmas holiday. We had an amazing stay! The house was well spread out with space for everyone to be comfortable in! The house was very clean and had everything you could think of that you might need. The kitchen was very well stocked, every detail thought of that you would need for cooking, from plenty of dishwater to instantpots and slow cookers.
The beds were comfortable with plenty of blankets. The house is very quiet, which is very nice with a large family staying in it! The host Wendy was easy to get a hold of if you needed anything and was very flexible with me, it was a pleasure to interact with her and rent her beautiful house! The only thing to be aware of before renting is that the house is on many levels with lots of stairs. It’s what really makes it nice and spread out but also something to think about for less mobile people.

My daughter is a UO cheerleader and couldn't come home for Thanksgiving due to the football game Friday. So we decided to bring Thanksgiving to her. The property was lovely! We were able to host Thanksgiving for the cheerleaders that couldn't go home and bring our family together. Was a wonderful weekend

Want to thank Wendy for provide her home to me and my friends for the USC - Ducks game weekend. The 10 bedroom, 5 bathroom home was perfect to house the 15 of us. Hope to stay there again when I come back to Eugene for the various University events.

Always love our stays here! Such a great house for large groups, and the neighborhood is phenomenal! A wonderful stroll to great restaurants and the UO campus. We’ll be back — again!

We were a group of 14 women visiting for wine weekend getaway. The home had more than enough space for all of us and we had a blast! This is the perfect house, close to campus for large groups. There are two fridges, two microwaves, plenty of bathrooms and communal space. We'd definitely come back if we stay in Eugene again.
*Note for those with large vehicles - they likely won't fit in the garage as it's plenty wide but not deep enough. We weren't able to fit a Tacoma, Suburban, or Highlander in the garage, but street parking was just fine and safe.

Very nice accommodation, quirky layout but lots of rooms and separate area. Easily accommodated 4 different groups with room to spread out.
Great outdoor area with tables and chairs for lots of people and lots of cutlery and crockery for us all.
Given we had a big group this was very good value and the location is also excellent with Hendricks Park just up the hill
No complaints, we had a great time, thank you

Such a great property to stay at for a Duck Football game. Allows for larger groups of friends to get together and stay in the same house while still giving each couple the privacy they need. Will be staying here again next year!

The landlords were excellent to work with during our stay. great spot to host a party, we hosted 45 people for a catered rehearsal diner with outside seating for all. Must like to climb stairs, built on many different levels.

We had a great stay with our cycle group. Very relaxing with tons of space. Sitting outdoors in the evening was a plus. Wendy was a great, responsive host and helped us dial in in a catered Italian dinner. I would highly recommend this home for large groups. Because of the large number of bedrooms, the home has a few levels and stairs. Fantastic kitchen, family room and upper and lower deck!

This was a perfect house for our large family, gathering from all parts of the country to celebrate my grandson's wedding. Our host Wendy was fantastic in every way and made several special accommodations for us that were SO appreciated. The wonderful house and wonderful hostess are absolutely THE BEST.

Our family loved The Villa while in Eugene for a wedding. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out, and the decor is elegant but homey. I believe the kitchen is the most well-equipped one I've ever seen. In addition to lots of the basic supplies, there is every small appliance imaginable. The yard is beautiful, and there are all sorts of tables, chairs, & umbrellas for relaxing outdoors. I like to walk, so I especially appreciated the lovely neighborhood of interesting houses and colorful gardens to look at on my strolls. I can't speak for the other beds, but the one I slept in, the king in the largest bedroom, was quite comfortable. There are many levels and stairs in The Villa, so this might be a concern for anyone with limited mobility, although they weren't a problem for us. We understood that we could ignore the 2-hour parking limit on the street, but my son-in-law got a ticket anyway. His pickup truck has a kayak rack on top and wouldn't fit in either garage. My daughter called Wendy, The Villa's owner, and she sent us a parking pass and told us she would take care of the ticket. The dishwasher, which is missing its wheels on the right side of the lower rack, is a bit annoying. There was some noise from a track meet at the university, kind of a distraction when outside. The water pressure seemed low, but that's par for the course, I think, in an old house.The overall ambiance is charming, the location is great, and I recommend The Villa.

Everyone was amazing when doing the tour of the house when we first got there finding all 10 bedrooms. The home was clean and welcoming and stocked with 2 of each appliances. Totally recommend for big families!!! We all loved this house!
Ps shout out to the neighbor on the right. For letting us use their drive way for my 84 year old grandma to cut through their yard to get too and from the house.

Not sure if this was originally built as a sorority or frat house with its 10 bedrooms and multiple stairs and levels. However it fit our group very well and we enjoyed the house ands it’s location.

Good area for walking and enjoying the park and neighborhood. Views from bedrooms fabulous. Dog owners appreciated the accommodation.
For two sit-down dinners, I rented 6-ft tables and folding chairs, so we could all be together in the garage. Needed more hand-towels and washcloths in first floor bathroom, used by everyone!!

We rented the house for out of town guests for my late wife’s memorial service. Didn’t have as many folks as anticipated so everyone got their own room. Well appointed for entertaining and sleeping. Just know that there are a LOT of stairs - this is a vintage grand home - and the rooms all have big beds, no two twin rooms.

What an incredible home - thank you so much for sharing!! Our group of 10 moms loved being able to be together and host our kids for Mom's weekend at U of O - it was the perfect location, perfect size house and everyone (i mean everyone!) enjoyed our time here. Our host, Wendy, was super sweet and easy to communicate with - one little question at the beginning of our stay was resolved immediately. So great to have the fast response! The home is well taken care of with plenty of space for moms and kids. Looking forward to rebooking for DUCK games and Mom's weekends in the future! Thank you Wendy!

It was very welcoming. We enjoyed all the skylights with the natural light and great seating area in the living room where we spent many hours visiting. There was such a lovely kitchen so fully equipped for the size of our group but we spent most of our time just visiting. The beds were comfortable everything was clean and fresh. The flowers are very nice touch. Beautiful place overall. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

The house was clean and easy to get to. The 10 bedrooms were on 4 different levels and was a bit confusing but it worked really well for our 18 person group.
The owner was quick to respond when I messaged her with a question and the contact number for any issues we might have was clearly noted at the house.
Wifi access was easy and the connection was strong.
The house was decorated really well for the holidays which made us feel warm and welcome.
The kitchen was very well stocked with everything we wanted.
The only downside was the softness of the mattresses which felt uncomfortable.
On the whole a very well appointed house where we felt comfortable and very welcome to hang out over the holidays!
Thank you Wendy!

The property is HUGE and beautiful. Extremely well appointed kitchen (double ovens, double microwave, two refrigerators in kitchen with a third in the garage). Kitchen table easily seats 10 plus! Great views from upstairs including Autzen stadium! Short walk to U of O. One thing to note: There are LOTS of stairs including getting into the house and to all the bedrooms. Owner was great and very responsive to answering questions. We would definitely rent again when family and/or friends were coming into town.
