Multiple reviews note comfortable beds and overall charm, with some appreciating the home's historical character and effective air conditioning in hot weather. A recurring downside is the small primary bathroom; a few also mentioned limited privacy or storage, and one noted few outlets and no towel hooks. A dependable choice for couples, friends, or pet owners planning a relaxed wine-country 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.

This was our 2nd time staying at Cowl's Bungalow. My husband and I traveled with my Dad this time. We love the large covered porch and that we can easily walk 2 blocks to the main street with shops, grocery and restaurants. The kitchen is well stocked with nice quality pans and fresh olive oil. Coffee beans/grinder are provided. We especially appreciated the AC given we were there on a 100 degree weekend. Would return again!

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!

Adorable restored historic house right in downtown, so easy to walk everywhere: farmer's market, coffee, wine tasting, shopping and more! The neighborhood is also filled with lots of historic homes, really charming. The converted garage was really cute and a nice place to sit while having dinner, our dog loved the fenced in yard too.

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!

The house was terrific, spotlessly clean, comfortable and just a few blocks from great restaurants, wine cellars and stores in downtown McMinnville. The kitchen appeared to be well supplied although we didn't use it because of all the fabulous restaurants close by.

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!

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!

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. 🙏

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.

Stayed here for a birthday celebration/wine tasting weekend. The location was perfect. Easy walk to many delicious restaurants, great coffee & pastries, wine tasting and a cute grocer. The home had everything we needed as well as very comfortable beds, which is always a plus! As others have mentioned, the master bathroom was a bit tight, and could use a space to store toiletries, but it wouldn’t deter me from staying here again for a weekend!

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 Cowls bungalow was lovely. Comfortable, clean and well-appointed as well a perfectly located for walking along the 3rd Ave retail and restaurant row. Very dog-friendly property as well. Couldn’t have been better for a weekend getaway!

The house was terrific, spotlessly clean, comfortable and just a few blocks from great restaurants, wine cellars and stores in downtown McMinnville. The kitchen appeared to be well supplied although we didn't use it because of all the fabulous restaurants close by.

The location was just perfect for walking to restaurants and shops in downtown McMinnville. Yet quiet even sitting on the front porch. It was clean, comfortable and well appointed. Would highly recommend staying here during a visit to the Evergreen Museum and wineries.

Location was amazing. Close to everything downtown. House was well kept and very quiet. Nice that toiletries were available. Free grown coffee was an extra touch. Will look for availability at this location the next time we come to town.

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.

This was our 2nd time staying at Cowl's Bungalow. My husband and I traveled with my Dad this time. We love the large covered porch and that we can easily walk 2 blocks to the main street with shops, grocery and restaurants. The kitchen is well stocked with nice quality pans and fresh olive oil. Coffee beans/grinder are provided. We especially appreciated the AC given we were there on a 100 degree weekend. Would return again!

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. 🙏

Although we did use the kitchen other than for morning coffee and tea, the house was clean, comfortable and the proximity to downtown McMinnville was a bonus.

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!

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.

Very close to McMinnville City Center. Comfortable beds. It’s an older house, so the bathrooms are smaller than modern bathrooms.

The house is as advertised. 2 blocks from downtown, right dab in the middle of the majority of the wineries. The house was spotless upon arrival with all the amenities needed for an enjoyable stay. Even had an outdoor propane heater but wasn’t needed this stay. The main bed was very comfortable as it was just my wife and I so we didn’t use the other one. The AC unit kept the house very comfortable. Host gave us all the information needed to have an enjoyable time and was available if needed. All in all if coming back to the area by ourselves or with kids would definitely stay here again.
