Lovely apartment in the woods
We really enjoyed our stay. Terry made everything so easy. The studio apartment felt large, was clean, great surroundings, it was wonderful. The only reason for our 4-Star rating is that we also needed to do some work during our stay and the internet was very spotty, which required us to adjust our plans a bit. So if you're unplugging, this is a fabulous home to do so.

Great little apartment/Quite neighborhood
We enjoyed our stay here very much. It's a comfortable little apartment with all the amenities. Terry, our host was very nice and communicative. He sent us a text the day before our arrival with all our check-in information and left the lights on for us since we were arriving late. The next day we met Terry out on the patio, talked, and shared our love for the outdoors. The property is about 6 miles away from downtown Corvallis, which was not a problem for us. It is close to the Peavy Arboretum and many beautiful hiking trails. The property has a peaceful patio area where you can sit and have your morning coffee while watching the wildlife. I would reach out to Terry again should we return to Corvallis. Terry, thank you for hosting us, and hope your trip was bountiful.

Perfect and amazing place!
This was my first solo trip and first time in the Pacific Northwest. The location, atmosphere, and administrative ease of this property was exactly what was needed. Centrally located to explore the varied beauty of Oregon within a short drive, secluded and felt like you were out of a city with morning coffee to watch deer and foxes frolic, but only a few minutes drive to food and essentials. Absolutely perfect. And I will say that while i was by myself, my two kids have asked me to take them, and there will be plenty of space for all three of us to return! Terry was amazing and great communication and very accommodating! One of the best VRBO hosts that I've ever had!

Great stay
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. Perfect for our short trip to Corvallis to visit our son. One quirk to the property is the door to the studio is half window and there is no shade or curtain covering it. Would be fine if it weren’t a studio and the bed right in front of the door. It’s on the second floor and location is pretty secluded but even so, would be nice to have the option to have some privacy when sleeping or changing clothes.

Hi Heather, we are glad you enjoyed your stay and will see if can figure out a cover for those windows. I never thought of that as we would never go up the stairs while tenants are staying but for comfort, I am going to see what I can do, your the first request for this but it is a valid point.

Clean and comfy
Although I stayed for 4 nights, I really only slept there. But the time I spent there was comfortable and quiet. Neighborhood is quiet and a way from town but close enough to essentials. Someone had revised about the stairs being sketchy. They look super wonky but they are sturdy. I’m 6’ 4’ 240 and they held me just fine. I will suggest maybe grip tape on the steps, there was one icy night and I almost slipped going down the stairs. Just remember, it’s a Fonzie apartment above the garage so you do hear the garage opening/closing. Will rent again.

beautiful Corvallis countryside
This was a really nice spot to stay in! It's removed from the town and feels like the countryside, with beautiful surround and hiking nearby. The owner was very receptive and informative, which helped me feel welcome and comfortable. The bed was very comfortable, not too soft. The studio had everything I needed, and the bathroom heater was just plain wonderful :-) I read some comments about the stairs being difficult to navigate, and I didn't find that to be the case. It was raining pretty heavily, and the steps are slip-resistant.

Very quiet and the interior of the space is superb. Fairly close to Corvallis, but maybe more of a getaway space, than convenient to things. The price was good. The stairs feel super unsafe. Didn’t have both of us on them at a time. The shared driveway is very rutted at the bottom and needs some grading or something. We weren’t on a getaway, but highly recommend for that.

Peaceful Cottage
My daughter is a Freshman at OSU. We needed some quality time together before I move out of state. We had the most relaxing weekend at the Rock Quarry studio, or as we called it- The Peaceful Cottage. The studio is tidy and spacious. There's everything you need to cook a homemade meal (which my daughter was very happy about). The bed was so comfortable. We slept great. The neighborhood is beautiful and quiet. I would love to stay here again in the future.

I hesitate to use the word perfect, but it was for me. It was the solitude and quiet I was looking for. The room had everything I wanted/needed and more. Every time I needed something, I looked, and it was there. Very comfortable and nice touches with the Christmas decorations. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

Really enjoyed our stay and visiting with our hosts! A little north of Corvallis in a more rural area with trees but easy access to highway. Very nicely furnished and decorated with AC if needed.

A REAL gem!!
I’ve had multiple travel experiences with VRBO and other similar online booking companies. Many of the listings did not turn out to be anywhere near all the positives the owners portrayed the property/stay to be in significant ways. This lovely oasis just outside of downtown Corvallis IS as listed, and better. The owners are wonderful hosts and people, and made our short visit really special. Don’t even hesitate if you’re considering this for your stay - you will not be disappointed!!! (well, unless you’re impossible to please on every level 😂).
