About this house rental
Nestled in Eugene, this lovely house for $111 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip. Casual, affordable and oh so conveniently located, Nifty Thrifty is the answer for singles, couples and small families seeking elbow room on a visit to fun and funky Eugene. Park the car in the attached garage: Around the corner (29th and Willamette) you’ll find a gourmet market, and a variety of restaurants and shops. And now, a budding food cart pod just a block away! Bring a bike or take advantage of the two bus lines that are just steps from your door – either way, you’re within minutes of Fifth Street Market, the Hult Center, Saturday Market, the University of Oregon campus and Hayward Field, or Autzen Stadium. It’s only 20 minutes by car to the Lorane Valley wine country, less than 60 to the whitewater beauty of the McKenzie River, and less than 90 to hike or ski the Cascades. Nothing’s out of reach from this location! The one-story 1950s-vintage house features two bedrooms, a full bath, hardwood floors, a fireplace, a private fenced and landscaped backyard (roses and fruit trees!) and a laundry. Thanks to the addition of a ductless heat pump, there is AC. The full-sized kitchen is equipped with all the appliances you’ll need to pull together breakfast at the dinette or serve dinner in the dining room. If there’s business on your schedule, there’s a workstation in the master bedroom and WiFi throughout the house. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, friendly, and eclectic. Said a recent guest: 'Nifty Thrifty was the perfect choice...ideally located, close to shopping, public transit, the university, and Amazon Park with its bicycle & running trails, children's playground and a great dog park. The home is spotless with all the extras one could need, even a garage for the car. The back yard was perfect, completely fenced with plants and lawn and a small patio with a table and chairs. The neighborhood is extremely quiet with very little traffic other than the local residents. All in all, we couldn't have been more pleased...and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a vacation rental in Eugene.' The details: • Queen-sized bed in the primary bedroom. • Full-sized bed in the second bedroom. • Sofa sleeper (please request information before planning to use it) • Air bed available for small-child use upon request. • The house is ramp-equipped for handicapped access from the garage, though not all interior doorways are wide enough for wheelchair use. Grab bars are installed at the front door and in the bathroom. • All linens and an uncommonly wide range of cooking supplies are provided.

We absolutely loved our stay here. The house is adorable and our hostess, Ellen, was so kind and helpful. Our adult kids visited with us while we were here and it really did feel like a comfortable home away from home. We will definitely make this our go-to rental when visiting Eugene. Thank you, Ellen, for everything. You're the best!

Nice home, good price and lovely yard! The owner was pleasant and professional. I walked to the University of Oregon campus in about 45 minutes. Grocery stores and restaurants were just a couple of minutes away. Would definitely recommend!

We loved Nifty Thrifty. It’s a charming home with a great backyard (grapevines, pear tree, apple tree, a little patio with umbrella. We came to Eugene to explore the area, having never been there before. The South Eugene location was perfect, within walking distance to Amazon Park; easy access to I-5 as well as Hwy 126 to Florence on the coast; and only a 10-15 minute easy drive to downtown and the UO campus. A shout out to Ellen for taking a personal interest in her guests and making suggestions for sights and activities to enhance their visit. We WILL be back!

Nice older home in an eclectic neighborhood that's close to some fine food/downtown activities: The Glenwood, Tasty Thai Kitchen, Waffles on the Wall, Sweet Life, Hult Center and Cuthbert amphitheater performances, 5th Street Market shops and more good eats, first and last Friday Art Walks, etc. We're from the area and came to visit family, but Eugene is a great place for fun and adventure and this is a nice place to stay while doing it.

Just a great location close to downtown Eugene. Property was very clean, well appointed, and located in a very quiet neighborhood. We would walk to downtown each day and stop along the way at local pubs and breweries. Great drivable wineries and hiking trails nearby. Had a great time and would highly recommend this property. Ellen was an excellent host; very attentive and responsive!

If you are one of those who complain that a place “needs updating “ this isn’t for you. If a nice, clean, quiet oasis with tons of character is, this is. Ellen made sure we had everything we needed and was very gracious. The garage was a nice plus due to the weather. We hope to stay there again on future visits.
