About this property

BunkHouse Retreat at Minto-Brown Island Salem Oregon

The Bunkhouse Retreat is proudly owned by a founding Salem family whose history and beautiful grounds and skilled landscape architecture dates back to the 1900's. The downstairs space which is entirely yours, features a bathroom with shower, microwave, Keurig coffee maker, and basic utensils for dining. Wander around on the grounds and you might catch a glimpse of the resident pony.
The Bunkhouse Retreat is located in the north end of the 1,200 acres of lush, natural open and wooded area known as Minto-Brown Island Park. Walk, jog, or bike along 19 mile of hard and soft trail through native timber a grassy meadows. Enjoy fishing spots, a paddle boat area, and paved bikeways.
The Bunkhouse is a great Retreat just not the best place to do work on the computer. The Wifi is very very poor and really spotty, so doesn't always work out there.
The Wifi network is called CenturyLink3019, password aaf7bc87te7x4b. The internet speed is 0.5 Mbps. There is a wifi extender called "Bunkhouse" with the same password, aaf7bc87te7x4b.

Charming getaway
We loved this quaint and rustic property! It was tucked away from the bustle of town on a beautiful, peaceful property! The bed was very comfortable. The property manager was great at communicating and made the check-in process very easy!

How does a place get a Premier Rating?
Disappointed in the outside up keep from the appearance of the entry gate (Moss growing on gate) and front entrance ( spider webs). Ant traps throughout the place. Our third night we had a mouse run across the floor. Packed up and left with two nights remaining (no notice given). Very disappointed.

Lovely but dripping faucet
Lovely spot, cozy, clean and comfortable. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because there was an issue with the faucet, which dripped constantly, gradually over several days just running hot water all the time and made it difficult to get cold water.

Nice property, but old
Beautiful property, easy check in process and communication. However, the place smells old and there was evidence of mice and ants.

Rare Magical Property
We enjoyed this hidden gem secluded next to the Willamette River with lots of song birds, ducks, & vegetation around the banks. The quiet sprawling country estate is perfectly secluded back from the highway. Our ground-level cozy Bunk House had a scenic focal-point bay window & abundance of literature for guests. We never turned on the TV during our relaxing 3-night stay. Enjoyed flowing streams with benches on this well-manicured estate. This VRBO felt like something from a storybook. Very rare, wonderful experience. March 2023.

Bunk house - rustic
Overall good. Would be nice to have more modern tv with HDMI input options. There was food in fridge when arrived, weird. Also shampoo/conditioner bottles in the shower, weird. Recommend turning some heat on for guests prior to arrival, it was icebox when arriving from AZ
