About this property

Charming Craftsman Retreat in Eugene's Historic Whiteaker Neighborhood

  • Experience the best of Eugene from this beautifully preserved 1914 Craftsman home, nestled among lush gardens in the heart of the vibrant Whiteaker neighborhood. Combining historic charm with modern comfort, this inviting retreat offers a peaceful setting just minutes from downtown Eugene, the University of Oregon, the Willamette River, and some of the city's best restaurants, breweries, cafés, and local shops.

    Leave your car behind and explore Eugene on foot or by bike. Stroll to neighborhood farmers markets, tasting rooms, music venues, and scenic river trails, or take a short ride to campus events, Hayward Field, and Autzen Stadium.

    Inside, the home is filled with natural light, warm wood details, and thoughtfully curated antiques that reflect its rich history. The spacious living and dining areas create a welcoming atmosphere for relaxing, reconnecting, or celebrating a special occasion. Music lovers will appreciate the home's unique character, including an 1890s piano and a beautiful cello displayed in the living room.

    Ideal for couples and comfortable for up to four guests, the home features two inviting bedrooms connected by a shared bathroom. The primary bedroom offers a queen-size oak sleigh bed with an 11-inch memory foam mattress, soft linens, and plush bathrobes. The guest bedroom includes a mahogany sleigh bed with a pillow-top mattress, down comforter, soft linens, bathrobes, and a 32-inch television with Netflix.

    The fully equipped kitchen is designed for those who love to cook, with everything needed to prepare anything from a simple breakfast to a gourmet dinner. Just outside, a large barbecue and private garden seating area invite you to enjoy meals surrounded by flowers, mature trees, and seasonal blooms.

    One of the home's most memorable features is its enchanting garden setting. Dine on the covered front porch overlooking vibrant flower beds, unwind beneath the shade of mature trees, or harvest fresh herbs, fruits, and vegetables from the garden during the growing season.

    Whether you're visiting Eugene for a University of Oregon event, a weekend getaway, or an extended stay, this charming Craftsman offers the perfect blend of walkable convenience, historic character, and garden tranquility.

We stayed here over Thanksgiving and had a great time! The house is super-cute, very clean and quiet. We stayed here with our adult daughter (our son lives in Eugene). We cooked Thanksgiving dinner in the kitchen (OK, we did not cook a turkey) without a hitch. The living room is great for hanging out or napping. We would definitely stay here again.

Secret Garden stay

This was an absolutely marvelous stay. It was clean, comfortable, and liveable. Many house stays don't have great kitchenware, which can be difficult, as I like to cook and eat out. This also had great outdoor space, which was fun in spring.

Perfect Private Beautiful cottage

This cottage is completely hidden from the street, giving one a wonderful sense of peace and privacy. We thoroughly enjoyed our week there. Lovely family owned grocery very close, easy access for exploring the area by car, or just walking around the area. The cottage is beautifully decorated, a joy to experience, and very well maintained. We hope to stay again. The

Quaint and beautiful cottage near so many great places!

This was the perfect spot for us to be to visit our Duck! We loved being within walking distance of Tacovore and not far from her off campus house. The home is darling and the beds were super comfy! We sleep in a King size at home and I was nervous about a queen bed but it was no issue at all! The garden is beautiful and the foliage around the front of the home is darling. Highly recommend. We will be staying here again.

Wonderful Stay at Charming Craftsman!

Eve was so responsive to our questions prior to booking. She also followed up to make sure we had everything we needed during our stay. The Charming Craftsman has so much character. We loved sitting in the front porch in the mornings, and we enjoyed having an evening meal in the large back yard. The kitchen was fully equipped, and the beds were so comfy. Thank you, Eve!

A Secluded Oasis in the City

We spent a long weekend at the Charming Craftsman and loved it. I booked the stay and my wife and 22 year old son weren’t convinced until we arrived and they fell in love. We were in walking distance of downtown, good restaurants and shops. We had no problem finding parking out front and utterly loved eating on the front patio after barbecuing on the grill in the backyard. It’s a small grill but was perfectly fine for the 3 of us. Eve has a beautiful home and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

serene, cozy cottage

I came for a girls' weekend in Eugene and just wanted a cozy place to hang out and catch up. This was exactly what I was looking for! The cottage is clean, well appointed and well stocked. The porch and yard spaces are beautiful and lush. Communication with Eve was excellent and location is perfect for exploration. I really can't say enough about this home! Thank you, Eve, for a memorable stay.

Lovely Craftsman

Three sleeps in an impeccable, well appointed, antique home. Super comfy bed and linens. We enjoyed reading and playing cards on the front porch in the evenings. Remove shoes in the house, but don't recommend leaving them on the front porch overnight.) One block from groceries and gas. Would stay again when traveling to Eugene. Thank you!

Beautiful Craftsman Home

Absolutely love this place! True to the craftsman style throughout, so well-cared for with lovely decorative touches, & extremely clean. Neighborhood can be a little noisy (esp on weekends) but the fence and landscaping make it feel very safe & private. Check-in & communication were easy, & Eve is very responsive & thoughtful,. She even provided a bowl of snacks. On-street parking was easy -- never had a problem finding a spot. In short, pretty much perfect for us. Thank you, Eve! We hope to stay here again.

Cozy One-Story On A Quiet Street

It was just perfect! I was the only one staying and I had the whole place to myself. A couple of things to bear in mind: 1) this is a two-bedroom, one bathroom all on one floor. The two bedrooms share the bathroom, so everyone who stays here will be sharing it. 2) the shower stall is very small, and a plus-sized person may find it very difficult to use. You will hear the sound of trains off in the distance at various hours, but I really didn’t mind. This lovely house is within walking distance of several restaurants and a grocery store, so everything you might need is very close.
