About this farm stay rental

The Bunkhouse Retreat is located in the north end of the 1,200 acres of lush, natural open and wooded area known as Minto-Brown Island Park. Walk, jog, or bike along 19 mile of hard and soft trail through native timber a grassy meadows. Enjoy fishing spots, a paddle boat area, and paved bikeways. The Bunkhouse is a great Retreat just not the best place to do work on the computer. The Wifi is very very poor and really spotty, so doesn't always work out there.

We loved this quaint and rustic property! It was tucked away from the bustle of town on a beautiful, peaceful property! The bed was very comfortable. The property manager was great at communicating and made the check-in process very easy!

Disappointed in the outside up keep from the appearance of the entry gate (Moss growing on gate) and front entrance ( spider webs). Ant traps throughout the place. Our third night we had a mouse run across the floor. Packed up and left with two nights remaining (no notice given). Very disappointed.

Lovely spot, cozy, clean and comfortable. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because there was an issue with the faucet, which dripped constantly, gradually over several days just running hot water all the time and made it difficult to get cold water.

Beautiful property, easy check in process and communication. However, the place smells old and there was evidence of mice and ants.

We enjoyed this hidden gem secluded next to the Willamette River with lots of song birds, ducks, & vegetation around the banks. The quiet sprawling country estate is perfectly secluded back from the highway. Our ground-level cozy Bunk House had a scenic focal-point bay window & abundance of literature for guests. We never turned on the TV during our relaxing 3-night stay. Enjoyed flowing streams with benches on this well-manicured estate. This VRBO felt like something from a storybook. Very rare, wonderful experience. March 2023.

Overall good. Would be nice to have more modern tv with HDMI input options. There was food in fridge when arrived, weird. Also shampoo/conditioner bottles in the shower, weird. Recommend turning some heat on for guests prior to arrival, it was icebox when arriving from AZ

Very tranquil and serene place and a lovely place to relax. The indoor lighting is a bit lacking but other than that we had a great visit. Angela was terrific to work with and the peace and quiet was just what we wanted.

Neat little spot, had everything you need. Bed was very comfortable. Unfortunately a bit hard (cumbersome) to find and although clean was a bit musty until we were able to air it out. Briefly met Angela, she was very nice. The bunkhouse is very convenient for us, we'll stay here again.

The landscape was perfectly groomed, the dog greeting was on point(my personal favorite), and the natural surroundings (e.g. river, wild birds, etc.) are a must see. The rustic decorum in the efficiency gives a ranch vibe. For the price I paid, I expected a cleaner space and was hopeful for a refund on my cleaning deposit. Hoping for a follow up text from the property manager. Thank you for making your property a beautiful alternative to a standard hotel.

Pleasant stay but there was an odor of skunk in the evenings, Wi-Fi was not consistent, the gate did not open automatically to exit two of the three days, there wasn’t any cream for coffee, the lighting could have been better, and it would have been nice to have heat in the bathroom.

As a place to get a goodnights rest, refreshed, and recharged it was great! Tho the tv static was so loud it played over most shows, and internet felt like it was running at kilobit speed. so youtube is mayyybe 144p to get it to play smooth. Tho those where the only downsides!

Although very rustic, the setting for this bunk house provided calmness and serenity on well-landscaped grounds overlooking Minto Brown protected waterway, always great to see the egrets and ducks enjoying themselves too. Very quiet getaway. Hostess always available to contact. Great directions.

This is a lovely little hideaway! I may have hit their fall colors at their peak but no matter….the view out the front bay window was just beautiful! The bunkhouse itself is comfortable - a perfect spot to hunker down after a busy day.

I went here for a personal work retreat and it was for the most part pretty good. The only thing that was a bummer was that the WiFi didn’t work all weekend. It was probably for the best since I was working and didn’t need it that much. However if you list that the rental has WiFi it should work. The property manger tried to help me out and finally was able to connect but it still would not work. Also another strange thing was that this unit didn’t come with blinds or currents. I was secluded so that didn’t matter all the much except when I was woken up by the sun each day.
