The city will not allow it. Small gatherings are OK as well as photo shoots with pre-approval. If you are wondering if your idea or gathering is considered an "event" please ask, it is possible that we can work something out. *Please note that this property is not recommended for elderly/handicapped folks who have difficulty walking as there are stairs to access the property and yard.

I rented the house for Thanksgiving weekend with my brother and my two college-age kids who go to university in Oregon. Sarah was a most-gracious host, very friendly and available to answer any and all questions. The neighborhood is fantastic, with two large parks on either side and nice walking trails through the woods along the Willamette river. The view from the house is a 10+!! Highly receommended.

Although the backyard and river are absolutely stunning… The house, however, is not. There is a long, very uneven step way down to the underground apartment which is located underneath the main home. There is a SLICK slope to get to the kitchen, And the smell of mildew under the sink is absolutely disgusting. The furniture is extremely uncomfortable. If you want to sleep here, this is not the place. You will hear constant walking and movement above your head when the owners are home. You will also smell their food cooking in your unit as well. This is not a VRBO for anyone over 50.

My wife and I stayed at Sarah’s place for a week around the Reed College graduation. Great spot on the water in a nice neighborhood for walks etc - also convenient to Reed. Had a small BBQ in the gorgeous garden which was really great. Used the house as a base for graduation but also for exploring much of Oregon that week.

The property was filthy, I have pictures of dirty drawers, filthy chairs and mold in closets and on shower curtains. The pictures of the property are deceiving and misleading. the "walkway" is actually a steep series of steps that were covered with chestnuts, not swept, dangerous and precarious to walk on. The property is advertised as a stand alone house, in fact it is a converted basement. with the owners living above in the actual house. The property is advertised as 3 bedrooms, in fact the one kingsize bed bed is IN THE LIVING ROOM. It is NOT a master-bedroom.The pictures make it look like a separate and contained bedroom it is not. Fraudulent misrepresentation. The other 2 bedrooms are tiny, and dirty. The kitchen is substandard. I was very displeased and was offered the "suite" upstairs at no added charge, that too was filthy with mold. I DO NOT RECOMMEND. The location is lovely by the river. Everything else was bad.

My husband and I have been renting vacation rentals for the last 15 years. I was a little hesitant to rent this one due to the owner was on the premises, because of a bad past experience. I couldn't of been more wrong. Sara was so great! The property is absolutely beautiful and serene. You don't even have to leave the property to find things to do. The whaler and dock, kayaks, bikes, paddle board, fishing, and the most beautiful views. Anything we wanted to do, Sara and Joe made it happen, but gave us complete privacy. Thank you for sharing your amazing home with us. 5Stars all the way! Gigi
