Location! Historic Downtown~Cowls Bungalow & Carriage House, Fenced Dog-Friendly

Nestled in a charming neighborhood of historic homes, stroll two blocks to McMinnville's Famous Third Street ~ the mecca of Oregon Wine Country. Visit tasting rooms, dine in award-winning restaurants, and savor the moments sifting through local shops. Relax in a luxury 1910 craftsman home, recently restored to its turn-of-the-century charm with modern conveniences. Enjoy the peaceful setting on the front porch or BBQ in the back while dining in the Carriage House under the twinkle lights.

As you enter the Cowls Bungalow from the covered craftsman porch, you'll be greeted by the magnificent refinished hardwood floors, complemented by original wood trim and built-ins throughout the home. This 1,100 sq. ft home with high ceilings boasts a spacious open floor plan that seamlessly blends the living, dining, and kitchen, perfect for creating new memories. Meanwhile, the electric fireplace encased in a stone hearth adds a touch of warmth and ambiance.

The Bungalow has two private bedrooms with luxury bedding and pillows, separated by a hall bathroom. The primary bedroom has a king-sized bed with a small private bath and tile surround shower. The second bedroom is a queen-sized bed with ample closet space.

One of the highlights of this property is the fenced-in yard, providing a safe and private space for you and your furry friends. The historic carriage house offers a unique outdoor dining experience with a barbecue setup and charming twinkle lights, creating a perfect ambiance for al fresco meals.

Location! Location! Location!
Great place to stay close to 3rd St in McMinnville. After a day of wine tasting we loved being able to walk to dinner and more tasting rooms. Unfortunately, the weather kept us from enjoying the outdoor space so we’ll have to come back and hope the weather cooperates. One thing to note is the very tiny and not so private bathroom in the primary bedroom, which I didn’t realize but wouldn’t keep us from returning. Also, only Folgers was provided for the coffee maker so you may want to bring your own. I do highly recommend staying here.

What a great home! We loved the layout, the decor, convenience to everything, and it was spotless! The home was walking distance to shops, restaurants and wine tastings. Communication with Anita was excellent and everything went so smoothly. This was an annual girls trip with my friend from Portland. We would go back in a heart beat.

Picture Perfect
This house was the absolute perfect home base for our visit to Oregon wine country. The house itself is beautifully appointed. Very comfortable, all the ammenities you could need, and well decorated. The bedrooms, living spaces, and outdoor spaces were all well-proportined and gave us ample room to strech out and enjoy our stay. The location was also terrific. Two short blocks from the main street in town that is lined with shops and restaurants. And only 15-20 minute drive to prime winery areas. We would enjoy our coffee and breakfast in the morning, walk our dog around the charming neighbourhood and then walk to a local place for a light lunch before heading out to the wineries. We would visit 2 or 3 and be home in time for a nap before dinner which again, we could walk to easily. A perfect getaway. Many thanks to our attentive and professional host. She could give a master course in designing, equipping and managing home rentals!

Great bungalow in the Mac
This spot is great if you want an easy walk into town--literally a two minute walk to Third street. Our favorite spots were Harvest Fresh Grocery (great for food and wine selections, as well as premade meals), La Rambla, and the Cellar at Okta. It's a dog friendly house, which was perfect for us. Out pups were very happy to hang out in the fenced backyard, taking advantage of the cool floors in the carriage house. Super comfy beds, well-equipped kitchen, AC, and all the amenities you'd expect. Would definitely stay here again!

Fabulous centrally located Craftsman Cottage
This home is even more beautiful than the photos expressed. Warm woodwork throughout, still with vintage built ins, spacious bedrooms for this era of home, a very comfortable king bed (and I am the princess and the pea picky), lots of thoughtful details including many hooks on the wall as you enter the front door, nicely appointed kitchen, and a mud/laundry as you enter in back for tidying yourself or wiping wet paws. We most certainly will look for the availability of this home again if we are invited back! Thank you to our hosts, and to their wonderful house cleaner who keeps it perfect. 🙏

I wish I could move this charming house East and live in it! My husband, daughter, son-in-law and I spent a wonderful 3 days in McMinnville, enjoying wineries and eateries, and friendliness of the town. The house was clean, well-appointed, and very comfortable for the four of us. We would stay here again if we get back to the Willamette Valley!

Great location for first visit to Willamette Valley
Great for visits to wine country. We had zero issues with the home. Property was as described with excellent location. The main selling point for us was the close proximity to all the dining options in McMinnville. It was nice after a day of wine tasting to have so many walking distance (5 minutes) dinner options after our tour company dropped us off at the end of day.

The Perfect Place a McMinnville Stay
Had a wonderful stay at Cowls Bungalow. I’ve rented many VRBO properties, and our time here might have been the best experience ever. The house was well stocked with everything we could possibly need – soaps, paper goods, even bubble wrap to pack our wine glasses. We enjoyed the beautifully decorated spaces and comfort of the furniture and beds. The location can’t be beat as the restaurants, coffee shop, and stores are only a few steps away. Really hoping to find time in our schedules for a much longer stay in McMinnville, and we will only make the trip if Cowls Bungalow can house us.

Peaceful Classic Bungalow
Attractive, comfortable, clean, quiet. What more could anyone ask for? We were visiting friends/family in McMinnville. Aside from being clean an d comfortable, I felt immediately at home because the bungalow strongly resembled my grandmother's home in Pasadena, CA, built circa 1910-1920. We will certainly stay here again!
