Quiet, Private, Relaxing, Spacious

Very spacious home. Quiet neighborhood. Close to everything. Backyard is great for drinking wine and relaxing. Didn't have a fire since it was 100 degree days and wildfires on everyone's mind so you don't dare light it up, despite being on a nice concrete patio (August). Clean and stocked everything: kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms. 1 TV only with lots of cable channels. Only recommendation would be mattress toppers or mattress pads. Bed had me wearing icy-hot patches.

Dirty Dishes

All dishes were filthy, had to be washed before using. Cups stuck to bottom of cupboards with coffee grounds and sticky substance in them. I left 2 table knives on counter that are Rusty and corroded need to be replaced. Weather was perfect. We had a nice time in McMinnville

Perfect for our needs

We were in McMinnville for a wedding and had 4 generations with us. The house was comfortable, well equipped and we really made use of the backyard with th kids. Nice quiet neighborhood yet close enough to walk downtown.

Pleasant stay.

It was quiet and peaceful. The last 2 days, the neighbors had their roof replaced. The workers started at 6:30 every morning. That was not good timing on our part. It was easy access to everything.

About the host

Hosted by Chalet Gris

We are long-time McMinnville residents -- in fact, a local street is named for the mother of one of us. Our interests include beer-making, gardening and cooking. We are fans of The Linfield Wildcats, Trail Blazers and Oregon State Beavers. As we remodeled the house, we focused on comfort and functionality -- they're important to us and we think our guests will find that they can kick back and relax in this perfect "home away from home" in a friendly neighborhood.

Why they chose this property

Anyone who loves domestic tranquility will immediately see what drew us to this property. Not only is it spacious enough to accommodate three couples, it has a lovely patio and garden area to bask in the mild Yamhill Valley weather (which contributes to the wonderful Yamhill Valley wines!). The opportunity to create a quiet family/reading room that can be closed off from any bustle in the main part of the house was also something that attracted us. We think of this room as the Sanctuary, and purposefully left the TV out of it! McMinnville is an inviting town, and strolling the main streets (less than a mile from the house), dropping into wine tasting rooms or bookstores (or a knitter's paradise at a yarn shop) is a favorite activity for members of our extended family.

What makes this property unique

When you make Chalet Gris your base of operations, you'll be able to enjoy its proximity to a variety of attractions. When you're home, the indoor/outdoor convenience of food preparation and eating is enhanced by the sliding glass door from the kitchen to the covered deck and patio, allowing the smooth flow of traffic from stove to plate. After a day of exploring or wine tasting, guests can have time to themselves in the peaceful garden, the comfortable living area, or the quiet Sanctuary.
