It was incredibly spacious, and the parking was easy. We enjoyed the fans in the bedroom to help cool down at night. The beds were great.

Kitchen was well stocked though it could use a cheese grater. Comfy beds. Bathroom fans are somewhat annoying since they turn on when one walks into the room. Fireplace was a welcome delight! Yard is lovely and the neighborhood peaceful.

This is our 2nd time staying at this house, and it is so wonderful! It’s easy to check in, the host is responsive; the kitchen is well stocked for cooking. The living spaces and bedrooms are comfortable. The yard is beautiful, and we love to spend time in the covered backyard space. We took multiple walks in the lovely neighborhood. This is a wonderful house to stay at, and we will definitely be back.

This was probably the best vacation rental I’ve ever stayed in. Super clean, huge, amazing theater/game room, well stocked kitchen, nice bathrooms, comfy beds, and a great location. I plan on staying here again next year when I’m back in town.

Great property, it definitely has a cottage feel, close to the fairgrounds in a nice comfortable neighborhood. There is plenty of street and property parking. The house is also well stocked with all of the possible needs of your own home. We hope to be back!

This was clean, comfortable, and just the right size for the five of us. It was close to family who live in the area, and grocery stores. We enjoyed relaxing breakfasts and goofy game nights together. I will keep this place in mind for future stays. Thanks so much for a place to unwind!

The property is very clean, tidy and plenty of room to spread out. Beds were comfortable. Extra surprise to have two washer and dryers. We had everything we needed to cook a nice holiday meal. The owner was very rapid at responding when we had questions and even accommodated us when our table was interrupted by weather. We would stay here again.

This was a great house to stay at in a quiet neighborhood. Very close to downtown Salem, but far enough out to not feel like you are in the city. The house was very clean and had plenty of room for my family and parents. Having a room on the main floor was great for my older dad. The rec room downstairs is huge. Overall a great stay!

Nice place to stay. Outside and inside the property was nice the only thing we noticed was that the carpets in the cottage was dirty and had not been cleaned prior to our arrival. Communication was spotty. Besides this I would recommend this place to stay.

The Jefferson Cottage was an ideal base camp for two of us doing the Ironman Oregon 70.3. The property was clean with fully supplied kitchen that came in handy for preparing the pre-race spaghetti dinner. It is located a few miles from Riverfront park ( about a 5-8 minute drive). I fully encourage anyone looking for a clean, safe place to stay near downtown Salem to strongly consider the Jefferson Garden Cottage.
