Historic 1910 Bungalow • Carriage House • 1 Block to Wine & Dine • Pet Friendly

Stay in a beautifully restored 1910 bungalow with a charming carriage house that transforms into a covered open-air entertaining space, in the heart of McMinnville Wine Country. Just one block from top wine tasting rooms, chef-driven dining, boutique shops, art galleries, and festivals. This walkable retreat blends historic character with modern comfort. Enjoy original details, a cozy dog-friendly fenced yard, and inviting indoor-outdoor spaces—perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring.

The home offers excellent privacy for couples, families, or friends traveling together. The private primary suite offers a king bed and a beautifully designed compact ensuite bath. In a unique historic touch, original French doors from the home were converted into a sliding barn-style door, paired with a fully tiled bath and updated fixtures. At the opposite end of the home, a spacious 2nd bedroom features a queen bed, with an adjacent full bathroom that also serves as the home's main bathroom. Just off to the kitchen is the laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer, which adds extra convenience for longer stays.

Outdoor living is where this property truly shines. Enjoy the classic covered front porch with comfortable lounge chairs—perfect for sipping coffee and watching the neighborhood stroll by. Out back, open the historic roller door, and the carriage house transforms into a covered open-air entertaining space that flows directly into the fully fenced yard. With ceiling string lights, a rustic wood slab table on wine barrels, bistro chairs, and the BBQ placed right at the entrance, it’s the perfect spot to gather with your pups, enjoy umbrella shade during the day, or the heat lamp, and twinkle lights in the evening.

The kitchen is also supplied with a spice rack, olive oil, vinegar, BBQ utensils, a meat thermometer, hot-pads, kitchen towels, and extra paper towels.

1910 Carriage House & Connected Outdoor Space: The historic 1910 Carriage House has been beautifully restored into a covered outdoor gathering and dining space, with a charming original 1910 roller that opens the entire side of the Carriage House to the fully fenced outdoor space. The BBQ sits right at the doorway for easy indoor/outdoor entertaining, connecting to outdoor seating, a sun umbrella, lounge chairs, outdoor heating, and twinkle lights.

Adorable restored historic house right in downtown, so easy to walk everywhere: farmer's market, coffee, wine tasting, shopping and more! The neighborhood is also filled with lots of historic homes, really charming. The converted garage was really cute and a nice place to sit while having dinner, our dog loved the fenced in yard too.

This was our 2nd time staying at Cowl's Bungalow. My husband and I traveled with my Dad this time. We love the large covered porch and that we can easily walk 2 blocks to the main street with shops, grocery and restaurants. The kitchen is well stocked with nice quality pans and fresh olive oil. Coffee beans/grinder are provided. We especially appreciated the AC given we were there on a 100 degree weekend. Would return again!

The location was just perfect for walking to restaurants and shops in downtown McMinnville. Yet quiet even sitting on the front porch. It was clean, comfortable and well appointed. Would highly recommend staying here during a visit to the Evergreen Museum and wineries.

Wine tasting in McMinnville

The house was terrific, spotlessly clean, comfortable and just a few blocks from great restaurants, wine cellars and stores in downtown McMinnville. The kitchen appeared to be well supplied although we didn't use it because of all the fabulous restaurants close by.

Location! Location! Location!

Great place to stay close to 3rd St in McMinnville. After a day of wine tasting we loved being able to walk to dinner and more tasting rooms. Unfortunately, the weather kept us from enjoying the outdoor space so we’ll have to come back and hope the weather cooperates. One thing to note is the very tiny and not so private bathroom in the primary bedroom, which I didn’t realize but wouldn’t keep us from returning. Also, only Folgers was provided for the coffee maker so you may want to bring your own. I do highly recommend staying here.

What a great home! We loved the layout, the decor, convenience to everything, and it was spotless! The home was walking distance to shops, restaurants and wine tastings. Communication with Anita was excellent and everything went so smoothly. This was an annual girls trip with my friend from Portland. We would go back in a heart beat.

Picture Perfect

This house was the absolute perfect home base for our visit to Oregon wine country. The house itself is beautifully appointed. Very comfortable, all the ammenities you could need, and well decorated. The bedrooms, living spaces, and outdoor spaces were all well-proportined and gave us ample room to strech out and enjoy our stay. The location was also terrific. Two short blocks from the main street in town that is lined with shops and restaurants. And only 15-20 minute drive to prime winery areas. We would enjoy our coffee and breakfast in the morning, walk our dog around the charming neighbourhood and then walk to a local place for a light lunch before heading out to the wineries. We would visit 2 or 3 and be home in time for a nap before dinner which again, we could walk to easily. A perfect getaway. Many thanks to our attentive and professional host. She could give a master course in designing, equipping and managing home rentals!

Great bungalow in the Mac

This spot is great if you want an easy walk into town--literally a two minute walk to Third street. Our favorite spots were Harvest Fresh Grocery (great for food and wine selections, as well as premade meals), La Rambla, and the Cellar at Okta. It's a dog friendly house, which was perfect for us. Out pups were very happy to hang out in the fenced backyard, taking advantage of the cool floors in the carriage house. Super comfy beds, well-equipped kitchen, AC, and all the amenities you'd expect. Would definitely stay here again!
