What Our Guests Are Saying
Great spot for a quiet, peaceful vacation with family and/or friends. House is quite large, very new, and photos understate how nice it is. Steps to the ocean and only a few minutes drive to town with a handful of quaint, tasty, local restaurants. Host was incredibly responsive, kind, and helpful. Would definitely stay again.
There were a few glitches at the start of our stay, like the outdoor cushions still missing and one of the ovens not working, but these things were taken care of and after that everything went smoothly. The management communicated quite well, we just had to be clear about what needed doing. The location is simply breathtaking, the view is stunning and expansive . The beds are comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. One warning – there are deer EVERYWHERE, and they are very lackadaisical about humans. It was fawn season and there were does and fawns all over the place. Charming, but when driving one must be hyper alert. I loved seeing the fawns every day. There was also a semi-resident bald eagle in the neighborhood. We’ll be going back for sure.
Overall we enjoyed our stay at St Clair. We stayed Saturday-Monday and left on Tuesday morning. The space was modern and comfortable. The Street Noise on Saturday evening made it difficult to sleep after a long day of driving but the space had a little sleep machine which helped and the noise didn’t last too late. There weren’t many businesses open for shopping in the downtown area the days we were there but we had planned to tour a couple of distilleries and made a trip to Louisville and went through Churchill Downs during our stay and it was nice to have a home base to relax in the evenings. The only negative was when we were ready to check out and I stripped the bed linens for cleaning and the mattress cover had stains on it. I wanted to believe it had been cleaned and the stains just didn’t come out prior to our stay but even so there should have been a new one put on the mattress. I reported it and was told they would contact the cleaning staff. Overall a good stay.
Ryan is a very kind and professional host. He kindly accepted my last-minute booking, for which I am truly grateful. The room is equipped with all the basic essentials for daily living. The only things I wished for were a hairdryer and some hangers. I also greatly appreciated being provided with a bath towel.
The shared kitchen, bathroom/shower, and toilet were very clean, never crowded, and comfortable to use. The two laundry machines were a bit confusing at first due to inconsistent pricing and a coin changer that didn’t work, but with a Bank of America nearby, exchanging coins wasn’t a problem. They were also never busy, so I could use them comfortably.
I had an issue with many small flies in the room, and moths would get in through the vent, even when it was closed.
Overall, this is a very commendable place to stay. I would gladly stay here again whenever I have plans in Eugene. Thank you for this time.
Overall, a good experience. The location is good, and the price was right. While I stayed there, things were very peaceful and all the other guests were respectful of quiet hours.
Please be aware that all the parking in street parking and if you’re there before 6pm or after 7am, you’ll either have to feed the meter or find a 2-hour parking zone and watch the clock.
The only downside was housekeeping: I was there for over a week and the garbage in the kitchen was only thrown away once – it started getting a bit stinky after a few days. And on the second day I was there, someone threw… something… away in one of the showers. It was still there a week later, along with a note some other guest left asking people to be more respectful of common areas.
These were not unbearable problems though.
Overall, I was very satisfied with my stay. I’ll be back again the next time I need temporary lodging in Eugene!
I would like to thank Recreation Stays for creating such a cozy environment. I vacationed with my girlfriend and we really enjoyed it.
I would also like to note that the house itself is located in a quiet and safe neighborhood.
I would also like to mention, if anyone is interested:
There is a Ukrainian grocery store with a good restaurant 2 miles from the house. We went there and everything was delicious.
The house is spacious and perfect for a couple’s getaway!
What an incredible place to stay. It is a very private and peaceful home, with a view to die for. On a sunny day you can clearly see the Cascade mountains, and the views are stunning. A great couples get away if you you want peace and quiet with no distractions. The Island is full of quaint small towns and interesting place to visit. You can get to Seattle, or Olympic National Park in just a few hours (with ferry rides).
An unforgettable experience, and we would love to come back someday!
We loved the Fauntleroy neighborhood–small, friendly small-town feel but close enough to Seattle for all their various fun things to do. “Our” house was very comfortable and well-appointed. The five of us had plenty of space and my 17-year-old was thrilled to have the entire basement accommodations to himself. We’ll be back to enjoy your beautiful area.
Excellent location with a lot in a walkable distance. The host was extremely responsive to any question or concern. Home was exactly as pictured and an extremely well layout for our group. Rooftop had impeccable views. Limited AC in certain but eventually cooled down very well. Highly recommend…thanks for the great time!
