Maribel was a wonderful and super attentive host. She left a sweet welcome package for my stay. The house was clean and well appointed. The neighborhood was adorable and quiet. It is a small place but good use of space for 2 bedrooms and 2 bath. It was a little cozy for 3 adults but perfect for a couple or a family!

This home was absolutely perfect! Super cute and wonderfully decorated — it instantly felt like home. Everything was spotless, and the fenced-in property gave us both privacy and peace of mind. The location is right in the heart of Umatilla, which made it easy to get around and enjoy the area. Communication with the host was a 10/10 — quick, friendly, and so accommodating. I can’t recommend this place enough and would definitely stay here again!

Maribel was very sweet. She responded quickly to questions before and during our stay. We received a list of area restaurants and activities in the area which was helpful. The cottage was cozy and inviting. We were so happy our beagle pups could stay with us. Our 25 pound dogs could squeeze through the fence but it would be a perfect fenced in yard for larger dogs. The neighborhood was nice and quiet and just a few minute walk to a park. I had to work from the cottage and the internet was fast and reliable. We would definitely stay here again.
