About this property

Gorgeous remodeled historic home in downtown Corvallis. 7 min walk to OSU!

(This property must be rented 31 days or more…pro-rating is available!)

This home and location is unbeatable: everything you could want is in walking distance! Nestled in Downtown Corvallis, this house is 1 block away from the library and 2 blocks from City Hall--and only a few blocks from the OSU campus. Enjoy being steps away from many wonderful downtown restaurants and shops, and just 6 blocks to the waterfront—walkable to the fabulous weekly Corvallis Farmer’s Market!

This 1906 home features gorgeous oak floors and original woodwork throughout the home, with light and bright windows all around. The stunning kitchen and bathrooms were recently updated and have been featured in home improvement magazines. You won’t want to leave!

The home welcomes you with a charming front porch where you can sit sipping your coffee. Upon entering the home, you’ll love the exquisite wood work —a home built for the Mayor of Corvallis (and later a judge) back in 1906. The entrance boasts a custom-built reception bar which perfectly encases a large, “L” shape "Fully" electric standing desk for your work-from-home responsibilities!

The downstairs living space is lovely, open and airy. The large living room opens to the dining room, which opens into the spacious & luxurious gourmet kitchen. The living room has cozy seating and a 45 inch flat screen Smart TV. The dining room seats up to 8 people and has a remote-controlled gas fireplace to keep you cozy during dinner. The kitchen's huge island invites you to eat a sunny breakfast, or you can opt for the quiet kitchen table tucked away to do your crosswords. There is a second work station (built- in desk) off of the kitchen. There is plenty of desk and counter space throughout the home for multiple individuals doing remote work.

The spectacular remodeled kitchen is a highlight of this home— with quartz countertops, custom maple cabinets, and stylish accents. The kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances (refrigerator, oven, microwave, and dishwasher) and a toaster. The kitchen makes you feel as if you are on the set of a TV cooking show—with everything needed for the home chef or for entertaining. The kitchen boasts a separate wine refrigerator, a Jura Espresso Machine, Soda Stream, a Cuisinart Coffee Maker, an Insta-Pot, and a Ninja blender for your morning smoothies.

Upstairs, the bedrooms are surprisingly large and bright -- the master bedroom has a King Bed and direct access to the upstairs bathroom, the 2nd bedroom has another King Bed, and the 3rd bedroom has a Queen Bed. All beds, bedding and bed frames are brand new and exceptionally comfortable. The remodeled bathroom upstairs has a great soaking tub and a beautiful shower. The home has been tastefully and professionally furnished and decorated to ensure that our guests will enjoy their stay and look forward to coming back again. We strive to make your stay as comfortable as possible, with the softest towels and highest quality bedding.

TERMS: This property must be rented for 31 days or more. Pro-rating is avaialble. This is a fantastic home for visiting faculty to OSU, health care providers coming to Corvallis for a few months, season ticket holders to OSU games, or for family members wanting to visit their Corvallis family (but wanting to stay separately & nearby!). This is also a perfectly located "home base" for people relocating to Corvallis and searching for the perfect home to buy! Please contact the owner for availability and for pro-rating rent for partial months.

Monthly Rent includes all utilities, including high speed internet, gas, electric, water/sewer, trash/recycling, and gardening. There are 4 off-street parking spaces on the property for our tenants and guests(rare in the downtown district--great for OSU games!!), and additional on-street parking. There is a modern Washer/Dryer in the home, which is accessed from the kitchen or the backdoor. We welcome up to 2 well-behaved dogs (no dogs on the furniture), but note that there is NO fenced yard, and the backyard is dedicated to parking spaces, so tenants are advised to keep their dog on leash in the front yard and take advantage of a few great parks just 2 blocks away, or the dog park nearby, or the many wonderful walking paths & trails that Corvallis has to offer.

This is strictly a non-smoking property.

Absolutely awesome

This is by far the nicest vacation rental I have ever found. Kirstin is a wonderful, polite and accommodating. I stayed for over a month and I was sad to leave. Rooms are spacious and kitchen is amazing. My grandkids enjoyed a couple of sleepovers. I was able to get a lot of remote work done at the large desk. Home is absolutely charming.

Wonderful stay!

We needed somewhere to stay in the time between our new house being completed and the sale of our home. Kirsten was so accommodating and lovely throughout the whole process. It was fun to live in downtown for a few weeks and get to experience walking everywhere! The house was completely stocked with everything you could ever need, and Kirsten was by far the nicest host we've ever had!!

Yates House in Downtown Corvallis

We loved the big old, historic house, which has been outfitted with a large, bright and well appointed kitchen. The downstairs also has a big dining room and living room, entry way with work space - which are connected and open. Plenty of room upstairs to get away, with each of 3 rooms large and windows looking over the street and trees. Kirstin was a great host throughout our 6 week stay. Hope to come back.

Corvallis home away from home

It is a beautiful historic home with all the convenience of a modern, remodeled kitchen and bathroom. It is walkable to downtown Corvallis restaurants and shops. The kitchen and fireplace in the dining room made us love cooking and eating at home. Bald Hill path was a great nature escape only a short drive away. The coast was an easy day trip. Loved it and cannot wait to visit again. Kirstin was a super helpful and knowledgeable host.

Another Amazing Visit

This is the second time I have stayed at the property. After the first time, I knew I wanted to come back. The home is beautifully decorated, with warmth and charm. Many properties I’ve stayed at are minimally furnished, this one is how you would want to decorate your own home. It is fully remodeled and has a kitchen that is amazing. The location is also a plus. So close to downtown and the university. Corvallis is a very walkable and bikable town and this house gives you easy access to all Corvallis has to offer. Kirsten is so easy to work with. She is friendly, accommodating and I feel like we have gotten to be friends. When growing tree branches started to encroach on sidewalks, she had the city out the next day to take care of the problem. I look forward to visiting Corvallis again and will definitely stay at this property again.

Beautiful Craftsman home!

We stayed at the house during part of my sabbatical at OSU. The house is fantastic. It has the best elements of staying in an historic house with all of its charm, together with a modern bathroom and kitchen. The kitchen is beyond gourmet. We cooked a lot! There are plenty of tools and everything is easy to find. The right piece of cookware was easily at hand for everything we decided to make. The dining room gas fireplace adds elegance to meals in the house. It was also an easy walk to several restaurants downtown, when we felt like eating out. Doing laundry was easy and the separate laundry room off of the kitchen made it convenient. The under floor heat in the bathroom made it cozy. There were a few different inviting spaces to set up a home office that still kept work items separated from daily life at home. Kirstin is a super friendly host with lots of local knowledge. We cannot wait to return in the fall.

Amazing Home Away From Home

What a phenomenal property! I spent about six weeks in the house and enjoyed every moment. The house is a real gem with an ambiance that makes it feel like you are in your own home. Unlike many rental properties that are sparsely furnished and lack warmth, this house is amply furnished and incorporates great decorating choices. Homey touches included live plants and even stuffed animals. The decor made the home inviting and comfortable. Another of my favorite features was the covered porch that provided a great place to curl up with a good book. Nestled in the middle of the historic district, it is just a short walk to OSU, the Riverwalk, and Corvallis’ Central Park, so there is no lack of things to do. During the summer the community band puts on free concerts in Central Park, just a couple of blocks from the house. Kirstin was a model host and I enjoyed getting to know her. She was very helpful and responsive when there were problems. She worked hard to get issues resolved quickly. I would definitely rent the property again (and probably will).

Birth of Baby

We spent a month at the house around the birth of our son, and Kirstin (the host) couldn’t have been more attentive, accommodating and welcoming. It was a nice place to be for this very special moment in our lives. We’d definitely recommend it!

Sweet old house

Our overall review of this property would have to include the owner, Kirsten. She is an absolute delight! She made us feel welcome, spoiled and pampered. She fulfilled our every need to make our stay enjoyable. while still respecting our privacy. The home was roomy, very clean and comfortable. The designer kitchen made meal preparation a breeze. We felt at home from the moment we walked in the door. The location of this home is perfect. We were able to walk downtown, to the post office or to the Oregon State campus in less than 15 minutes. The center of Corvallis is very accessible by foot. We would recommend this sweet old home to anyone desiring to stay close to the heart of Corvallis.

Beautiful historic home, gorgeous area and wonderful hosts

Entering the house is what I suppose partial time travel must be like: it's the beautiful old mansion of the mayor from 1906 with gorgeous wood finishings and high ceilings combined with all that a modern-day person would need. It is very well-furnished, and I wouldn't mind taking the spacious super-well equipped kitchen along. Best of all are the hosts: They helped us with all requests and were very easy to reach and to talk to. The location of the rental is perfect for exploring the downtown shops, bars and restaurants, as well as the waterfront, the farmers market and the library. Central Park and the OSU campus are within walking and biking distance. Bikes are a perfect way to get around in Corvallis, and there is a bike rack on the porch to safely lock them. There are lots of beautiful biking and hiking trails all around Corvallis, or you can venture out a little further to Mary's Peak, the beautiful OR coast or the Cascade mountains. If you are here for business, rest assured that the large working spaces in the house and the high-speed internet will accommodate your needs.

2 month visit

Kristen was super easy to communicate with and very friendly. The home was well furnished and comfortable. The kitchen had above average finishes and plenty of dishware. The location was so great, close to downtown but not too loud. I moved in during the record heat wave and the AC wasn't working, in addition to the internet only working sporadically. Kristen was responsive and did everything possible to get these issues fixed. Despite these frustrations I enjoyed being there and would stay again if I had the chance!

Amazing House

We really enjoyed our stay at this house. We arrived in early February and had stayed for 3 months. This home was built in 1909 and boasts modern amenities. Usually, homes of this age are dark and compartmentalized. This home has an open feel with plenty of natural light. The kitchen is large and updated with numerous small appliances for our use. The 3 bedrooms are large and comfortable. There were only 2 of us during our stay, but this home can hold plenty of others with larger families. It is centrally located with plenty of dedicated off-street parking. The owner was very accommodating and accessible with any issues we may have had. A side note...we were in town for business. We were able to utilize the 2 large workspaces in the house. Very nice!

We love to make suggestions for fun outings to our friends and visitors.
