The Blue Room in Beautiful College Hill

Quiet, cozy bedroom with private bath in Corvallis's College Hill West historic district. Minutes away (walking, biking, or driving) from the OSU campus, shops, pubs, and restaurants; easy access to miles of hiking and biking in the Corvallis greenbelt and OSU's McDonald Forest. Enjoy breakfast in the sunny kitchen nook or (in summertime) out on the deck or spacious back yard. The wifi's good for working remotely - or just kick back and relax. The piano in the living room also welcomes your use! The Blue Room features a comfortable double bed with extra pillows and blankets, an easy chair and well-stocked bookshelf, a work desk with office supplies, ample closet space, and lots of daylight--as well as room-darkening curtains to keep the light at bay as needed. The adjoining private bathroom has both shower and tub and is stocked with extra toiletries in case you've left something behind. I love having guests and am often available somewhere on premises, but I am happy to adjust my interaction to your comfort level. In any case, if you need anything or have questions, just call or message me and I'll be quick to respond. The College Hill West historic district sits about a mile from downtown Corvallis, just north of the OSU campus. Most of the district’s homes date from between 1905 and 1945 (mine was built in 1939), many of them built as residences for then-Oregon State College faculty, administrators, and staff. Along with its plethora of interesting homes, the district’s tree population is itself worthy of a visit; and the variety of beautiful gardens and landscaping adds to the aesthetic pleasure of exploring this neighborhood on foot. In the district’s northwest corner (where I live), on-street parking is still ample and free. Several grocery stores--including the north branch of Corvallis’s legendary First Alternative food coop--are only minutes away, as are a wide variety of other eating, drinking, and shopping establishments. A walking/bike path that connects into the Corvallis greenbelt trail system starts ~1/8 mile down the street. Whether you’re visiting Corvallis on OSU business or simply want to stay in a quiet, convenient, and lovely part of town, College Hill West is an excellent lodging location. Corvallis is an eminently walkable and bikeable city, and it's easy to get around by car as well. My home is in a convenient central location for exploring local offerings. It's also a great base camp for exploring other parts of the Willamette Valley and beyond. The coast, the Cascades foothills, wine country, Eugene, and Salem are all within an hour of here; Portland is about 1.5 hours north. Use of the laundry facilities in the (finished) basement is available on request - and so is use of my adjacent yoga/meditation room, which also features a massage chair :-)
