I rented this sweet home for my visiting family with their kiddos ages 2 and 6. They loved it! It was comfy and clean. Spacious enough for the four of them. The property feels very secure and private with the fenced- in yard and security gate between busy road and driveway. The close proximity ( approx one block) to the beautiful Willamette river walking/biking/running trail is a huge bonus. I reached out to Toby quite a bit in prep and during our stay and she was an excellent communicator, very friendly, welcoming and accommodating. Our family had a great time and I highly recommend this lovely home.

This is a sweet little house; really nice for a family with kids. Fenced yard, room to play, can walk to the river or even to the trampoline place. The family dogs are friendly and beautiful and Toby went out of her way to be helpful. You go through 1 bedroom to get to the master bedroom, so probably best as a family stay. The kitchen is still a little understocked on dishes and such, but it is a new listing. You come through a security gate to get to the house, so it feels safe and private, surrounded by trees and greenery. I would stay here again the next I'm in Eugene.

The Blue Animal House is such a quaint and cozy space. The home was very clean with lots of of natural light coming in through the windows and sliding glass doors. The closed in porch with comfortable furniture made for a great quiet morning with coffee before the little one woke for the day. As the property is enclosed within the owner’s gated property, it feels very safe and secure. We didn’t bring our fur baby this time, but the fenced in yard would have been perfect for him. In short, I highly recommend this property.

We were in town for the Eugene Marathon and stayed here for two nights. We had kids with us and it was a great place with a couple kids. The bedroom layout is a bit awkward for two separate families as the master bedroom is only accessible by walking through the other bedroom but since we both had kids and we’re all related it was okay. Beautiful property and we loved seeing the chickens running around.

We had a great stay at Toby’s. Perfect space for two people. Was welcomed to the property by chickens, nice surprise. The dogs on the property are also so sweet and really add a homey vibe to the experience. Toby was very attentive and responded to anything I needed very quickly! If I ever come back to Eugene, I’ll have to book again. Thank you!

What a lovely little spot! You would never know from the street that there is this beautiful spacious area once you go past the entrance gate. Loved the comfortability of the place, its convenient location, and the friendly dogs! Would be happy to stay again!

We stayed at the house for UO graduation. It was a great home base for our family and centrally located yet private. The surroundings are bucolic. We had a family of turkeys pay us a visit the last morning! Hosts went above and beyond.

Exactly as described, but with the bonus that the walk along the river right behind the house is even more delightful than expected. The wonderful trail running in either direction from behind the house makes for a very special run.

What a wonderful place to stay! So much amazing yard and privacy. Plus the access to the river and the waking/biking paths. We were in town for graduation and this was the perfect place for our family!

Toby worked with me even though we had extenuating circumstances due to a last minute funeral. The place itself was beautiful and had access to a great trail that we used to walk to a local food joint
