The space
This two-story “Cottage” is the original carriage house of a circa-1884 homestead estate set on over 4 picturesque acres. Nestled in a serene country setting, it offers easy access to I-5. Completely renovated with modern amenities, the cottage features air conditioning throughout and luxurious heated marble bathroom floors. The well-stocked gourmet kitchen, designed by a nationally acclaimed and published designer, boasts Quartz countertops and thoughtful details. Next door, the stately main home with its brick facade and circular driveway adds to the charm. Surrounded by over 200 rose bushes, a pond with a windmill, and breathtaking views of an 800-acre ranch across the street, this property is truly one-of-a-kind.
Guest access
Step into a countryside escape where elegance meets tranquility. Your stay begins with a charming courtyard and an expansive back patio, perfect for unwinding and reconnecting with nature. Follow the rose-lined path to your private oasis, complete with a hot tub for starlit soaks, a propane BBQ for alfresco dining, and a fire pit to warm up your evenings. Whether you’re sipping coffee at the patio table, lounging under the umbrella, or soaking in the quiet serenity, this space promises to make every moment unforgettable. Pond: Quail Pond lies at the edge of the property and offers breathtaking views, particularly at sunset. Ducks, geese, herons, and even otters often make appearances, creating a picturesque scene. While the pond is not suitable for swimming due to grasses, mud, and fish hooks, the small peninsula provides a lovely vantage point. Please avoid the neighbor’s side of the pond, including their aluminum boat, which is not for guest use. Hot Tub: Your private hot tub is set near the courtyard, offering a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring. Let us know in advance if you’d like it pre-warmed for your arrival. Please close the lid after use and avoid adding any chemicals, oils, or soaps to ensure it stays pristine. Gardens: The vegetable garden along the driveway is a delightful feature of the estate. Depending on the season, you may find an abundance of fresh vegetables available to pick for immediate use. During the winter months, the garden rests, preparing for the next growing season. Greenhouse: The greenhouse, with its elegant architecture and striking design, is a highlight of the property. While it is not currently housing plants, it remains a seasonal feature that adds to the estate’s charm. Please admire it from the outside to help preserve its condition for future use. Laundry Room: Located off the kitchen, the laundry room is stocked with essentials for your convenience. While unheated, it offers everything you need for light laundry during your stay. Horse Field: The electrified horse field to the east adds to the charm of the property, but for your safety, we kindly ask that you refrain from entering this area. Parking: Parking is convienent, with space for two vehicles or one vehicle and a boat. If you require additional space for an RV or larger vehicle, just let us know, and we’ll accommodate your needs. Pool: The estate features a beautiful in-ground pool, but it is reserved exclusively for the main house. Fenced for privacy, this area is not accessible to cottage guests. Please ensure children are supervised and kept away from the pool area for safety.
During your stay
Although we are close by, we will give you all the peace and privacy you’ve earned. But feel free to let us know if there’s anything you need and we will be on it right away. Also if we can help you with any wishes or needs while visiting our beautiful town let us know so we can arrange things in advance. Please observe the 10PM quiet hours and the property boundaries so we don’t have to bother you with any complaints from other guests or neighbors.
The neighborhood
This county home has a fantastic country side view but close to everything. The property sits on 4 acres and has two separate homes sitting adjacent to each other. With in five minutes your downtown Cottage Grove or 20 minutes to Eugene. 3 Golf courses just 10 minutes away. 2 lakes within 10 minutes for fishing or boating. Skiing is just 1 hour 15 minutes east or the ocean is just an hour west. Did I mention Uof O is just 25 minutes away. We also have over 20 wineries in the area as well. Or maybe just a hike, swim or nature adventure is what your after , it’s all here.
Getting around
We recommend a car 100% However there are local taxi drivers and an airporter shuttle service. We also have a bus route that services Cottage Grove to Eugene, but you are 5 miles away from the bus stop. If you bring a bicycle, I see them go by the house daily. The road however is not suited for young ones as it is a country road with no shoulder room. There are miles of bike trails around each lake if you do bring your bike.
Other things to note
Animals on the property : The main property has an resident outdoor cat, so please be careful to not leave doors open or he “Charlie” will sneak inside and hide from you because he knows he’s not allowed indoors. If this happens and you can’t find him, let us know so we can come and get him out. This rarely happens but has when I failed to let guest know about keeping the door closed. The neighbors have dogs that have never had to be locked up, leashed and can roam freely (they have 40 acres so these are farm dogs) I have been greeted by them many times while at the pond and they occasionally come up to the side yard. The dogs are generally nice but if you are afraid of dogs I wouldn’t take a chance and go down to the pond. Overhead noise: One of the neighbors is a firefighting/ logger helicopter pilot. Occasionally ( a few times a year) he will fly over the house next door, on his way somewhere with this huge helicopter. Although we think it’s super great, it could be alarming if you didn’t realize what was happening. He sometimes lands the helicopters but most the time he does a few circles over his house and his family runs out and greets him. But the hovering sounds make you think “they looking for someone or something is going down” which is not the case. Heating and Air: the house has a full air conditioned , heated environment set by a thermostat in the living room left of the couch on the wall. With that said, two things. Please set it to a reasonable setting that you like and if you prefer outside fresh air, choose one or the other not both (ie: the a/c on and windows open). I have found the a/c turned way down and all the windows wide open as guest leave for the day. This is not very good. Wastes energy, and much higher electrical bill and wears out my heat pump much quicker. I’m all about using it and being super pampered while on vacation so feel free to freeze if you wish on hot summer days. We also have installed heated floors in the upstairs marble floor bathroom. We have that set so that it is warm to the touch and feels great even on hot summer days. Freeway: Although a great feature to our location is that we are conveniently close to a freeway on-ramp , it is noteworthy to inform you were only a 1/2 mile from the I5 freeway. Occasionally if your outside you can hear a trucker or someone honk on the freeway or the rush hour is a tiny bit louder. We do not think this is anything to worry about. The fact that you can be in Eugene in 20 minutes is great! UofO in 25, airport in 45. Smoking & vaping ; I know this is a sensitive subject for smokers. But this house has never been smoked in. I can smell it , so can the next guest, and we prohibit it anywhere near the entrance of the home. So, for those sensitive to it, they can not have even a hint of it. So my compromise is to allow smoking outside only. We have an ashtray outside by the patio seating and or fire pit. Please only smoke in these designated areas. And, please take a few minutes before returning to the home as it takes a little while to get the smoke out. We have completely 100% renovated this home and it is full of very nice furnishings. Down to the studs with all new plumbing electrical heating, floors and cabinets. Please take care of things as if you owned it, not like a hotel where a big corporation makes plenty of profit and doesn’t mind changing everything out over and over. This historic home is an original stage stop homestead and we take pride in keeping it preserved.

Ericka’s place is amazing. She has taken every step to ensure her guests feel comfortable and welcome. Every amenity was thoughtfully provided, the instructions were clear and easy to follow, and the home was peaceful with incredibly comfortable beds. We hope to stay again whenever we’re in town.
Stayed here for our son’s graduation from the University of Oregon and had a wonderful time. We loved the location, and the cottage was fantastic. It comfortably slept five, the grill was great, and exploring the surrounding area made for an unforgettable stay.
Ericka’s place is in a great location between Creswell and Cottage Grove. It was the perfect base for our cycling rally. The cottage was roomy, well-equipped, beautifully landscaped, and the warm shower after rainy rides was perfect. Ericka was responsive and wonderful to work with.
Truly stunning design inside and out! Loved staying here. Seriously could not recommend staying here enough!!
My husband and I enjoyed a four-night stay at Ericka’s Historic Cottage. Everything we needed was available to us, and the hot tub was a bonus we enjoyed every day. Great kitchen!
Ericka’s cottage was a beautiful home and had everything we needed. Everything was clearly labeled, making it easy to find things. We loved the heated bathroom floor, cozy atmosphere, clean bedding, and attention to detail. We’d definitely stay again!
The cottage was super clean. The location was great, and we will definitely stay here again.
The décor in this home was absolutely incredible. You can tell Ericka has put a lot of love and thought into curating the space. Lots of beautiful antiques. The hot tub was clean and warm. The country setting is peaceful yet only two minutes from the highway. We’d absolutely stay again!
