Adorable cottage, not good for non-pet guests
The property was nicely updated and adorable, however, there was a few things that made our stay a bit uncomfortable. The property is apparently pet friendly, although, we did not bring a pet and the place was covered in pet hair. It was even inside the clean bedding underneath the sheets. Both of us woke up to pet hair in our mouths a couple times which was pretty gross. There was also hair around the sink in the bathroom which was off putting. The bedding on the pull out couch was stained and looked dirty and we had to do our best to utilize the extra bedding to try and cover it up. The cottage was a lot smaller than expected, not really a good place for more than 2 guests. The hot water was exceptionally disappointing and only lasted about 3 minutes. Totally not enough for one shower, let alone for all 3 of us. Cute is great, location is ok, but cleanliness & hot water are paramount.

Great for the two of us!
Comfy bed, nice bathroom and kitchen with everything we needed. Would be a good place to bring a dog but we needed up not bringing our furry friend. Would love to come back!

Nice place
A lot of weeds on the property. Nice heat and cooling unit. Except for a lot of weeds it was a nice little place to stay.

Cute place, but...
The neighborhood is run-down and the house is right next door to a scary looking abandoned building. The water heater is also inadequate, meaning if you need more than five minutes to shower it is COLD.

Best little vacation rental in Baker City. Very comfortable. It felt like home when we walked in. It was snowing so we didn’t get to enjoy the back yard but the chairs, fire pit and flower pots made it looked like a great place to relax.

Cozy
This property is well equipped, comfortable and clean. The neighborhood is in a industrial area which initially soured the wife's impression but we had zero problems with the area.

CLEAN and comfortable!
We would definitely recommend this property and enjoyed our stay. Comfortable bed, and wonderful towels. So happy to have found a place our dog was welcome! Couple of things to be aware of, not show stoppers, just know before you go... - it is very small so not much room to store things. We were able to fit our large dog crate in a corner of the living room though so we had a spot for a second suitcase! Very much appreciated having a fenced yard to let our dog out but it is rocked. Not a problem for our dog, but don't plan on playing with your pooch out there. There is, however, an off leash dog park just a 5 min drive from the house. All in all our needs were met, and we enjoyed our stay.

Nice place for a getaway. The wifi worked well and I was able to work from home. About a mile from the downtown so about 20 min walk.

Great price for Baker City
The newly-listed property is really cute and comfortable, with charming furnishings and very nice quality linens. The kitchen was well-supplied with dishes and the bath towels were brand new. The neighborhood is "up and coming" - abandoned homes next door and across the street - but the parking/porch area was well-lit and we did not feel unsafe at any time. Some additional attention to cleaning under the bed/inside the washer and paint touchups inside and out would have made a 5 star rating for cleanliness.
