Welcome to the 1939 Vintage House—where timeless charm meets modern comfort. Enjoy restored wood floors, original built-ins, and beautiful vintage details throughout. The fully fenced, dog-friendly backyard is a true highlight, featuring a covered patio and a brick outdoor fireplace. Plus a Game Room with foosball and more. Walk to McMinnville’s historic downtown, and explore chef-driven restaurants, tasting rooms, breweries, and boutique shopping—plus a short stroll to Linfield University.

The space
Step into this beautifully restored 1939 Vintage House, originally built by a Linfield College professor and filled with timeless character. Warm and spacious, the home features restored original hardwood floors, charming built-ins, high ceilings, and a cozy fireplace, along with original chair rail, cove, and picture rail trim. Throughout the home, you’ll notice thoughtful period details, such as original 1939 brushed-copper light fixtures, original dust catchers lining the stairway, and artwork hung from the picture rail in the traditional style—creating an authentic 1939 vintage look.

Main Floor Layout: The main level features an open floor plan, high ceilings, and a spacious living room centered around a charming bay-window seating nook. The dining room is equally inviting, surrounded by original built-ins and highlighted by a classic 1939 brushed copper chandelier. The fully remodeled kitchen blends modern convenience with vintage charm, featuring a wall of windows overlooking the backyard—keeping you connected to the outdoor fun while guests gather, and grill steps away.

Bedroom & Bath Layout (Main Floor): For added comfort and privacy, the two main-floor bedrooms are located on opposite ends of the home—ideal for couples, families, or friends traveling together. The primary bedroom features a king bed, while the second bedroom offers a queen bed, with a full bathroom conveniently located between the two rooms. This bathroom also serves as the home’s main bathroom, making the layout easy and functional for everyday use.

Upstairs + Bonus Spaces: Upstairs, you’ll find a third bedroom, privately tucked away, with a second full bathroom at the top of the stairs—perfect for guests who want a little extra separation. The upstairs landing also offers a dedicated workspace with a desk, chair, and reading lamp, ideal for remote work or extended stay. Downstairs in the basement, the Game Room adds even more fun, featuring a life-size chalkboard, foosball table, and extra games/puzzles. Adjacent to the game room is the laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer for longer stays.

Backyard Living: The backyard is truly the showstopper of this home. On one side, enjoy a fully covered patio with a brick fireplace—enclosed on three sides to create a year-round open-air, outdoor space, perfect for gathering, grilling, or relaxing by the fire. On the other side of the yard, you can spread out and soak up the sun with lounge seating and unwind while you watch your pups run and play.

Guest access
Guests have private access to the entire home and the backyard, except for a locked room upstairs, a locked and closed-off area in the basement, and the garage, which is also locked. We use these areas for storage, and they are not available to guests. Self-check-in is easy via a secure keypad. You'll receive detailed check-in instructions prior to your arrival.

Morning Coffee: Enjoy locally roasted whole bean coffee from Table Top Roasters in Yamhill. In the kitchen, there will be a drip coffee maker, coffee grinder, creamer, and sugar.

Fully Stocked Kitchen: Open the cabinets and drawers, and you'll find everything you need to whip up a quick meal or cook and bake your favorite holiday meals. The kitchen is also supplied with a spice rack, olive oil, vinegar, BBQ utensils, a meat thermometer, hot-pads, kitchen towels, and extra paper towels.

Dog Friendly: We welcome your dog, and there is plenty of room for them to roam in the fully fenced backyard. (See our dog policy, but if your situation is a little different, don't hesitate to ask management to see if we can accommodate).

Free Parking: As you pull up to the house, there is a paved parking space in front of the garage. You can also park on the street for free.

SmartTV: Connect to your favorite app channels, and there are 100's of live TV shows, news, movies, and music.
