The charming craftsman-style Verna J. Smith home is perfectly located in a shaded historic neighborhood nestled between the OSU campus and downtown Corvallis. This 1175-s.f. craftsman-style cottage was built in 1918 and has been lovingly cared for and maintained over the years. It boasts three bedrooms, one-and-a-half bathrooms, a full kitchen, dining room, washer and dryer, and cozy living room with a television and gas fireplace. The large outside deck is perfect for lounging and visiting with friends. Verna will charm you with her timeless beauty and will give you a captivating look into days long past.
This home does feature a ring doorbell and a second camera monitoring the back yard for added security.
Great house - so much character. I loved sitting on the front porch! The beds were very comfortable and the check in process and communication was excellent. Very clean as well. Will stay there again next year when my daughter is at OSU gymnastic camp.
Verna is such a gem and so conveniently located. From the property we were only about a 10 minute walk to Goss Stadium for baseball and downtown for restaurants, shopping and the farmers' market. The house is cozy and full of charm. And sitting on the front porch of the quiet, tree lined street was heavenly.
The home was in a beautiful and convenient area -- close enough to easily walk to downtown or to campus or the library. It has a lovely, comfortable, shaded front porch, with seating for maybe 5-6 people. Inside, the home is beautiful! The description was accurate!
My family of 5 had a great stay at this historic house! It was in the perfect location to walk and explore downtown Corvallis and as a central hub to go out to the beach or hiking spots. The house feels larger than the pics suggest too. I really loved the architecture/style. All in all, a great option and somewhere I would return to without hesitation.
The home itself is lovely, itâs clear a lot of thought and charm went into designing the space, and we really appreciated that.However, it unfortunately didnât appear to have been cleaned before our arrival. There was a noticeable amount of dog hair and human hair throughout the floors, and the bedding in the front room had visible hair and didnât feel fresh. There was also leftover food in both the fridge and cupboards.One of the main reasons we chose this property was because it wasnât listed as pet-friendly, and we have animal allergies in our family. It was pretty clear a pet had recently been in the home, which made the stay more difficult for us.We really believe this could be a great place with just a bit more attention to cleanliness between guests. Thanks again for sharing your home.
We came to visit our son who is at OSU, meet some of his friends, and go to some baseball games. It was great to be able to cook breakfast on Easter for our son and a few friends. The location was perfect. We walked to campus and to downtown for dining. The house had everything we needed.
Beautifully maintained craftsman vintage home in walkable quiet neighborhood. Very welcoming and comfortable. Lovely furnishings. Property manager is attentive and friendly. Will stay here again!
Traveled to Corvallis to visit my uncle with my parents. We enjoyed our stay at Verna. Communication was excellent when dealing with a minor issue. Beautiful neighborhood. Well kept home- felt like home not a rental. Plenty of space for the 3 of us. Would love to stay again on my next visit to Corvallis.
Enjoyed the craftsman house, well maintained and updated. Nothing wrong, well stocked, very comfortable. Loved the porch and proximity to OSU and downtown. Will return again!
We traveled to Corvallis to see our granddaughter who is at OSU. Your Verna was such a lovely older home and very clean and well kept! We only had 5 days but we enjoyed it so much! Corvallis is a beautiful city. We went to the farmers market by the river on our last day and had a good time. We also drove to the coast two different days. We went whale Watching ( didnât see any which was disappointing ) Then on another day we went to an aquarium in Newport. The aquarium was my favorite đ Overall was a very good visit! Thank you for sharing your home!
Verna was the perfect spot for visiting my Beav. The house had everything we could possibly need to make us feel at home, lots of extra touches. Beds were comfy, kitchen had all we needed to cook (even though we didnât) & the porch was a great spot to hang out. A very short walk to the OSU campus- right by Sierra, Tebeau & McNary. We will most definitely be back.
This beautiful home was the perfect home base for us to stay (3 gâs) during OSU grad week/end celebrations. Everything is lovely and the kitchen is very well stocked for a family who enjoys cooking together. The front porch and backyard were great spaces to enjoy our downtime between events. We took advantage of the opportunity with all the family together and hired the photographer who shot our daughterâs cap and gown session to come to the house for a family session in the backyard which was perfect!
Weâre so proud of our girl but weâre sad to pull away from Corvallis. Definitely leaving a lot of heart in that town.
Thank you for sharing your lovely home!
