Charming Cottage by CosiDesign

Charming mother-in-law cottage in the historic Whiteaker neighborhood. Nestled in a lovely private flower garden, the Cottage provides a serene retreat and is centrally located among the best restaurants, breweries and wineries in Eugene.

The house is set back from an eclectic urban neighborhood and the space can be surprisingly quiet for being in the middle of this active area of Eugene. At times, you may hear music and or neighborhood festivities. My goal is to make your visit to Eugene an enjoyable one, providing you with a restful, serene and secure home away from home.

Tall ceilings and windows in every room fill this 450 sq foot charming cottage with light and a sense of spaciousness. The bedroom features a mahogany queen size sleigh bed with a pillow top mattress, luxury linens and a down comforter. The view from the bedroom looks out onto the flower garden and private fenced yard.

There is a living area with seating for two, suede ottoman-bench, sofa chair, and a HDTV with established Amazon Prime, Netflix and Acorn accounts for streaming TV and movies. Additionally there is a HDMI cord for guests to stream movies or shows from a laptop. Relax and unwind in this quaint setting that includes a writer's desk and a fully-stocked kitchen. Everything you need to create a gourmet meal can be found in the kitchen.

Garden settings and nooks surround the cottage provide a tranquil and beautiful outdoor space to enjoy. There is a Craftsman rental home on the property, and there is substantial privacy between the home and cottage. If you are looking to host family or friends for a special event or holiday, both the house and cottage may be rented together.

The house and cottage are located behind a tall fence with mature trees and vegetation, creating a sense of privacy from an active neighborhood. The cottage is located behind the main property. Walking around the right of the main house, you'll arrive at the cottage.

The property is centrally located in the heart of the historic Whiteaker neighborhood, providing easy access to the best restaurants, breweries, wineries and music venues. The thriving urban Whiteaker neighborhood is close to the Willamette River, UO, Autzen Stadium, 5th Street Market, and the restaurant district.

Named for Oregon's first Governor, the historic Whiteaker is considered Eugene's most eclectic neighborhood. Entrepreneurs have established popular venues in this neighborhood to share their culinary, musical, brewing and wine making talents. Most recently, the Whiteaker has become identified as Eugene's brewery district. Several craft breweries, including Ninkasi, Hop Valley, Oakshire and Falling Sky are located within a few blocks of one another. Recently earning accolades from Esquire magazine as one of America's best bars, Sam Bond's Garage is an iconic night spot showcasing regional musicians on an almost-nightly basis. The Whiteaker neighborhood is best for folks who have a tolerance for human diversity, and do not mind occasional interactions with transients. The neighborhood is safe, but a touch more exhilarating than typical surburbia.

A mix of commercial and residential structures, enjoy the serenity of the cottage or walk in any direction from the cottage to enjoy this up and coming eccentric historic district of Eugene!

The gorgeous Willamette River is only a few blocks away and easily accessed by walking 10 minutes north of the cottage. Enjoy an evening stroll along the Willamette River or go for a run, bicycle ride or walk along this gorgeous river that runs through the town of Eugene.

Cute cottage in Eugene
The location was very convenient for traveling around the state- we used it as a “home base” for visiting the coast and parks in the greater area. The cottage had everything we needed and the bed was very comfy! We enjoyed the AC after long days of travel.

A Nice Cozy Hideaway
An absolutely charming little cottage. Yes, it's very much hidden, but the privacy added to the charm. Plenty of seating outside in a lush backyard. If you're looking for an affordable and cozy place to lay your head, this place is pretty spot on.

Sweet and comfortable little cottage
Loved staying here for my Eugene vacation. The cottage is so cute and is walking distance to a lot of great restaurants/bars. The EmX bus connects you quickly to the rest of town. The garden was lovely to sit in each evening. Eve was quick to respond to messages and very friendly. Would definitely stay here again!

Charming cottage is indeed charming
We loved staying in the cottage. It was sweet, had everything we needed, including coffee and several ways to make it. Bed was very comfy and the yard was a pleasure, filled with beautiful flowers and places to sit and enjoy reading and even watching hummingbirds. We loved walking in the creative whimsical neighborhood and there were plenty of choices of restaurants to eat at and music to listen to as well. Would love to stay on our next visit to Eugene.

They cottage was very close to my Aunt - 10 minute drive. Also close to Enterprise rental and auto shop. Car needed some care. The host was very responsive to any questions I had. I actually met the very kind host and she assisted me with quick responses. I did have some difficulty with heating. Otherwise the stay met my needs. Great bed, adequate kitchen and bathroom. Very clean.

Super cute and comfortable. As a single woman traveling.. I felt really safe and the area was nice and quiet. It looked like the photos and the host Eve was very quick to respond to me when emailed. The garden is beautiful.. I couldn’t enjoy it because of rain so maybe next time!

Great neighborhood and great cottage
In an eclectic neighborhood with great walking routes and wonderful restaurant options. Part of my week involved nursing a bad cold, but this allowed for watching comedy on Netflix, eating sauted kale from the raised gardens, and sleeping on a bed with luxurious linens. I cooked great meals in the fully stocked kitchen, ate take out from some of the in walking distance bakeries and other restaurants, took long walks and just enjoyed my time. In summary, great place to stay if you want rest, entertainment, wonderful food and walking.

Cute Cottage
This cottage is 5 min. from our sons coffee shop, so the location for us couldn't have been more convenient. Thanks for providing such a comfortable space to come back to each night. We had a little trouble finding the front gate on very dark nights. Our one suggestion is to have better lights along the stone path leading you to the back cottage.

Kind, fruitful and accommodating
Our stay at the craftsman cottage was great. But I really want to stay in the big house next time. The cottage was all we needed for this trip, as much time wasn’t spent in the space. Check in was smooth but I am glad I arrived before nightfall. The entrance is easy to miss at night. The welcome packet is informative. Thank you for the fresh strawberry.

Nice place. Well apportioned kitchen. No dishwasher. Arrival at nighttime somewhat difficult. No address number could be seen . Bedroom comfortable. Ac/heat difficult to control. Heating did not work the first day. She did state she was going to call a help person. Eventually I had to do it myself

Nice Stay
Eve was wonderful and the small, peacefull space she's created on her property has the laid-back comfort you'd need for a short stay. The bathroom is a bit small and outdated but manageable for 1 person. The kitchen area had everything I needed and the bedroom was comfy although the bed was a bit soft and lumpy for me. I'm a light sleeper so I had to be creative with the window treatments for light blackout. Neighborhood noise seemed to settle by midnight and morning commuter traffic noise started up by 7:30am or so. As mentioned by another traveler, the home is located in a mixed area of established artists as well as people in transit (a housing co-op next door) which did provide an evening of some turbulence one night. That being said, the neighborhood is eclectic with unique restaurants and not far at all from the center of Eugene. When it's not raining, I'm sure the backyard where the cottage is located is just heavenly - it sure looked it!

Nice, small cottage for two
Eve was responsive and helpful to our questions and requests. We enjoyed meeting her. The apartment is SMALL, as described. The bed is comfortable. You can cook or microwave food. You can not see the address from the street. There is a large fence, behind which is the house and then the cottage behind that. The area is fairly near to many interesting areas of Eugene. There is a good bakery and a laundromat nearby.

Perfect cottage for single traveler
I was in Eugene to drop my son off at UO. I have been to Eugene multiple times and have enjoyed staying in properties like this rather than hotels. I chose the cottage because it looked like a good fit for me in terms of size and price. The pictures accurately reflected the space, it was very clean and had everything I needed for the stay. The area is great if you like dining out and breweries, all within walking distance. It is a cute neighborhood and I never felt unsafe, important as a single traveler. I made the decision to book this cottage knowing that it was a slight drive to the campus area. It wasn't bad, and a trade-off given the amenities close by, but is not within walking distance. I enjoyed the garden, especially in the morning and evenings. It has great light. The reservation and check-in process was easy. Sara was very informative and responsive. The access to the property was easy and clear. It was a very clean property which is important to me, my only minor feedback is that the bathroom is a bit dated. The bed was very comfortable and seating was good for 1 or 2 people. I would definitely stay at this property again given the overall experience and price.
