Beautifully Remodeled 1940s Bungalow in Salem, OR close to Downtown and WU

New vacation rental. Many dates are still available so book now! I also welcome longer term corporate rentals for travelling professionals and will consider generous discounts for booking periods of 30 days or more based on availability.
DESCRIPTION:
Fully furnished, luxurious bungalow in the upscale Fairmount Hills neighborhood of Salem, Oregon. The bungalow features the charm and character of the 1940s architecture with original hardwood floors, a cozy fireplace, arched doorways and alcoves, built- in cabinets and French doors. The quaint and beautiful historic bungalow is fully appointed with all of the conveniences of a finely furnished and decorated designer home. It has lots of natural sunlight with a spacious floor plan that flows from room to room. There is one bedroom downstairs and another bedroom upstairs that can be used as a guest room, office space, reading nook or quiet retreat. An extensive renovation of the bungalow was recently completed, which included refinished hardwood floors, interior and exterior paint, designer light fixtures throughout, new windows, new crystal doorknobs, stainless steel appliances, and a new heating / air conditioning unit. The interior design was inspired by a mix of Old Hollywood Glam, and French Country Decor. It is a truly beautiful, inspiring and peaceful place to rest and relax after a long day of work or fun!
The Fairmount Hills neighborhood is located on the southern tip of downtown Salem. The upscale neighborhood features well maintained historic homes with an incredible variety of architectural styles. Based on its proximity to downtown, Bush Park, Minto-Brown Island, the Riverfront Park, and the Oregon State Capitol, and Willamette University, the Fairmount Hills neighborhood is a highly desirable place to live, stay, relax and play. Fairmount Hills is also home to the Governor's Mansion, Mahonia Hall, which is a half mile from my bungalow. With all of its convenience, natural beauty and historic charm, Fairmount Hills truly offers a premier location and experience.
I completed the renovation of this fantastic, historic bungalow last year but have had it rented out as an exclusive corporate rental. Now I'm offering it for the first time as a vacation rental on VRBO. My partner and I also have an established vacation rental in McMinnville with 5 star reviews so if you would like to see our ratings and feedback for that property, please let me know.
Please also take the time to read my comments about the upscale, historic Fairmount Hills Bungalow. This bungalow is truly a gem and it's location is nothing short of superb!
No smoking or pets allowed. This property is not suitable for small children.

Great location and very cute!!
My friend and I enjoyed our stay in Salem at this cute little bungalow! Many amenities made it easy to take meals in the kitchen. Beds were comfortable and everything was clean. No communication with the host because it wasn’t necessary. The house is a little older than I had anticipated with a slight old house smell and creaky floors, but other than that, all was good!

Cozy Comfortable Convenient
I was in Salem for my 50th high school reunion and this spot was perfect! I had a friend staying with me for a few nights and the kitchen set up was perfect for cooking, dining and games. We were able to walk to the park, downtown, dinner and my old school. The decorating is very retro, thoughtful and cool. I would definitely stay here again or at any property these people have.

My daughter and I were very comfortable here for a few nights before she moved in at Willamette U. Convenient location and nice neighborhood setting. Be prepared for a vintage 1940's style that includes a steep staircase and small bathroom.

I so enjoyed my stay at this well-renovated vintage bungalow. The bed was heavenly, the kitchen well-stocked, everything was spic and span, and the neighborhood felt very safe and was great for walks. Everything within and nearby to Salem was easily reachable. Communication was friendly and prompt. Everything you need and nothing you don't!

Super cute & clean house!
This is probably the cutest and cleanest Vrbo I have ever stayed at! Decorated beautifully, lots of original character while still be completely updated. Neighborhood is very quiet yet super close to everything. Perfect for a couple and a single person would feel very safe at this location. The little upstairs bedroom would be soooo loved by a child. But it is plenty roomy for an adult. This will be at the top of our list for future stays in Salem!

Perfect bungalow in Salem!
What a great bungalow in Salem. We stayed for 3 nights and used this as a hub for our stay in Oregon. Easy to get to the wineries we visited and Shreiner’s Iris gardens (beautiful). Warm and inviting and had everything we needed when we arrived! You can clearly tell that our host loves her home and wants to make it enjoyable and entertaining for others! We are from Florida and if we come back this way again, we would definitely pick one of her properties!

The 1940's bungalow in Salem was very well decorated, cozy, and clean. It is also located just south of the downtown area, which was perfect for our stay. We would recommend it to other couples who are looking for a cozy get-away.

Nice home but warm and ants
The house and area were nice. Check in was good and the host answered her phone and texts. The only issue we had was after we woke up (after our first night) there were a ton of ants in the living room. They were on the rugs and wall. I contacted the host and said we wanted to leave and she said she would send the house cleaner over and said “there were no ants there yesterday.”The upstairs bedroom was also very warm (in July) as the window AC unit is very small for the space. I would not recommend sleeping in that room in the summer. Finally, I was not able to take out the trash bc the outside trash can was so full- we were also not able to do the towels/laundry as requested by the host because we spent all morning making sure there were no ants in our luggage, bags, etc. I was also disappointed the host would not refund us for the night we left, due to the ants. Overall, it was a lovely home and nice host but for the situation with the ants and the hot upstairs bedroom.
