USA Track and Field Nationals at U of O Hayward Field
Perfect location and home for 4 days of Track Outdoor Nationals at U of O. Fun to watch all the runners on the Pre Trail right from the house. The pool was a great way to cool off each day. The house is spacious with a well stocked kitchen. Beds, linens, and towels were very comfortable.
We were a group of runners for the Eugene Marathon/Half marathon. This location was perfect for us. It gave everyone enough space and the hot tub after running was fantastic. We made all our meals there so having a nice big kitchen was great too. Not everyone ran so at least one person was able to enjoy one of the kayaks. The wildlife and being on the water in such a beautiful and peaceful location made the entire weekend special. The host was also very responsive to questions and any needs we had.
Great place to relax or do lots of outdoor activities! Choose your own adventure!
Great relaxing location - lots of great outdoors activities just in the backyard! - swimming, kayaking, running, hiking or biking. A fun staycation and very comfortable place to stay. Everything in working order and very relaxing to sit and look out at the water or the runners. We loved our stay.
We had a very nice experience. The home is large, is in a beautiful setting, is very close to Autzen Stadium, and was furnished very well. Thank you for the great communications.
This is a beautiful home in a beautiful location along the Willamette Parkway with every amenity. The pool was fabulous, kayaking and wildlife amazing, and the host was wonderful. The home was very comfortable! We would definitely stay here again.
Shawn, home owner, was quick to communicate even in the weeks leading up to our stay. The pictures don't do the house and landscaping justice - it was beautiful!
All the aunties and nieces staying here were so grateful to be able to be together AND in such an incredible location.
We needed a place to gather with family who live in Eugene. This was the ideal place. The home is very welcoming and the outdoor options are amazing. There are kayaks, the pool, the hot tub, the fire pit, and areas to play games and sit and talk. Inside and out, this home is perfect for memories.
This property has a wonderful location in Eugene, and a very nice property owner. I went to the UofO, and never knew this neighborhood on the river even existed. It was wonderful to sit by the river every evening, and with a pool included. Great spot!
Amazing place and the perfect location to spend a weekend with some old friends! Idyllic setting with all the amenities (pool, hot tub, paddle boards, kayaks, etc.) to enjoy! We took the short walk to/from the stadium on game day and skipped the traffic. Host was gracious and helpful!
We don't usually stay at the same property twice, but this was our second stay here because we loved it so much and this stay was better than the first. We definitely plan to return again. Outstanding location, clean, great water sport options in the backyard, everything as advertised, and strong communication from the owner. Couldn't be better. Thanks for a memorable trip.
We absolutely loved our stay at Casa Del Root and will definitely be back! It was the perfect location to walk to a game at Autzen, we had some nice weather for part of our stay and enjoyed the canoe, kayaks, and paddle board and on the cooler evenings, the hot tub was perfect! We had a very minor issue come up and the owner took care of it immediately! We loved everything about our stay and the Roots were excellent hosts! Donât pass on this rental!
We were lucky enough to book this gorgeous home for Oregon Family Weekend with 3 other couples. The house itself is amazing and comfortable and has lots of space so we didn't feel like we were on top of each other. The location is so perfect and we were able to walk to and from the stadium and not have to worry about parking or traffic. The kitchen is well stocked and perfect for eating chili after the football game. We will definitely be back!
We visited two years ago, had a ball, and our return trip was even better. Shawn is a fantastic host and his house is the BEST. More than enough space for our full crew of two sets of grandparents, parents and kid. We spent three full days swimming, kayaking, paddle-boarding and hot-tubbing. Nothing could be better. We'll be back!
It was very hot for the few days we stayed here. Shawn met us when we arrived and showed us about the pool, cover, hot tub and water toys. He was a great host. We will return
Stayed at this lovely home to visit or son who is senior at Oregon. The trip and accommodation, fantastic pool and river frontage, were great other than the outcome of the game since I am a CU alum.
This is the 2nd year the we have used the house and we will use it next year also.... Shawn is great to work with...... Had music and the house all ready for us.
Love it!!!!!
We had a lot of family together here - 12 people. There was enough room for us all to gather together when we wanted. And also plenty of areas for people to have their own space when they wanted. Even though the temperatures stayed in the 70's, that pool got a LOT of use - as did the hot tub.
Thanks Shawn
Our beach resort Honeymoon was canceled due to Covid. My husband and I along with our wedding party (my best friend and my brother) wanted somewhere we could stay in and still have a good time. Casa de Root was perfect! We grocery shooed and made dinners in, spent time in the pool, kayaked/paddle boarded in the waterway behind the property, played games and hot tubbed! It was exactly what we were looking for in a Covid vacation!
My girls and I, while living in Eugene our whole lives have been fortunate to travel a lot, find our own vacation spot all year round at the home. While this is our primary residence, schooling, work travel, and volunteering is keeping us very busy. We would like to share our experience of balance and peace while you are in Eugene.
So many choices! Once you arrive and take in a morning or evening you will see our affliction with this particular spot. With so much very close in city life, athletics, cultural arts, and nearby wilderness, it is often surreal that we are in a local neighborhood in Eugene.
Yes! The water features and small wildlife which create a great calm you cannot escape. Having dock access to canoe, kayak, paddle boarding, fishing, and the pool for lounging with a glass of wine from the hot tub in the evening, are all very unique. All of this to come back to if you have to leave while working an Olympic track meet trial or in town for business. Maybe just to relax and take in some PAC12 College sports. All in walking distnace
