The house was very cute and super close to downtown Carlton. We enjoyed the amenities and having a house to ourselves. We wished the bed had been a little more plush but overall we were very satisfied!

Peaceful wine country escape
This is our 3rd stay in the area over the past few years but the first time in Carlton. The house was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The bed was comfortable and the towels/linens were quality and clean. Wi-fi worked great for streaming. Check-in was seamless. The location in Carlton is great - very walkable to numerous restaurants and wine tasting rooms (we loved Flaneur). We went to the Carlton Bakery several mornings for coffee, amazing pastries, and hot breakfast options. Nearest grocery store we found was in McMinnville - only about 10 min away. We took one day trip to Tillamook and the coast (about 2 hours each way) and we spent the rest exploring various wineries and nearby towns (Dundee and Newberg are favorites). We can’t seem to stay away from the Willamette Valley for too long and are sure to be back again in the next couple years!

Love Carlton!
Carlton is a great place to stay when exploring the wineries of Willamette Valley and this little cottage is perfectly situated walking distance to the restaurants, bars, and bakery. Host is very attentive and house was very clean. You'll love the details down to the bath soap made by a local shop in town!

Lovely old house with beautiful wood floors & lots of windows. Wish the weather had been better so we could have enjoyed the yard more (it must be wonderful in Summer). Comfortable bed, very clean, nice kitchen with a lovely breakfast/dining nook.

We chose the perfect place for our winery experience….
Within walking distance of the quaint Main Street in Carlton, this home served as the epicenter for our winery experiences across the Willamette Valley. If you are a couple that loves antiques, clawed footed cast iron bathtubs, wood floors, and a beautiful yard, this place is for you. It is well-appointed, clean, and roomy. Would definitely stay here again!

Look no further for the perfect, cozy stay to enjoy the Willamette Valley. The house is utterly charming and steps away from desirable restaurants; however, the home and yard are so inviting you’ll never want to leave. The yard was an explosion of blooms to enjoy. Book today.

The cottage was delightful, nicely appointed with a very welcoming atmosphere. It was a wonderful mixture of modern and antique with quirky art and fixtures. The location couldn't be better after a day of wine tasting and within walking distance of dinner. We would definitely stay here again.
