My husband and I spent two delightful days here while visiting our son, a student at UofO. Myra was very welcoming. The breakfast was yummy and so charming to have in the sunroom. Our room was large and well appointed with beautiful trees outside the windows. We especially appreciated the Keurig coffee maker on the 2nd floor just down the... More

This very comfortable and relaxing inn was once a sorority house and the design of the rooms and inn highlight this. Rooms are spacious and inviting, the hallways lead on and allow you to wander, the large dining rooms look out upon the garden and you can relax and enjoy a wonderful homemade breakfast while the sun shines or the...

Thank you so much! The architecture of the inn created so many nooks to escape and relax... inside and out! Wandering describes that perfectly. And we are so blessed to have great restaurants within walking distance. My personal favorites are Beppe & Gianni's Trattoria, Studio One and Agate Alley! Thank you for staying with us and for taking the time... More

Stayed there with my daughter so she could tour the University of Oregon campus. The Inn is lovely. The room was spacious, comfortable, quiet and clean. The Inn Manager was professional and courteous. The location was perfect -- walking distance from the UO campus. My only complaint was that the wireless internet was unreliable and slow when it worked.

Thank you for your wonderful review! We so enjoy hearing about your stay with us, especially the good stuff! But it is very important to know what's not quite working right as well. Funny, I was with Comcast most the day trying to get that little internet problem taken care of. We hope to welcome you again soon with zippity... More

We arrived at 2:45 p.m. or so. Literature sent to us said that check in could be as early as 2 p.m. We were greeted very warmly, and told our room was upgraded, but it would take 20 minutes or so, and would we like some tea while we wait. We had a 5 p.m. engagement, and we wanted a... More

This is a wonderful B&B. My mother and I stayed for one night while visiting the U of O and we loved it. It was right on the edge of campus, so we could walk everywhere. We got bumped up into a larger room because it was available, which was charming and really comfortable. The breakfast was delicious, too. Myra... More

Overall not too bad. We reserved online for three nights shown as available, and entered credit card payment info. You would THINK that secured the available room, right? Well no, not so much. The previous person in the room decided to extend their stay, and... they were a 'famous author'. So, they got preference. We got upgraded for TWO nights... More

What a treat! The department at the U of O for whom I was working chose the Secret Garden to accommodate its visiting guests. We enjoyed meeting for freshly brewed coffee in the upstairs anteroom, delicious full breakfasts in the sunny dining room, walks in the safe neighborhood, and the close proximity to the university, restaurants, and shops.

We stayed here in early August and had a wonderful time. We reserved a small room and were upgraded to a downstairs suite, with a room for my brother next door and a door that closed off both of the rooms. Had 2 breakfasts that were great, but since we were almost the only people in the place 2 other... More

We were looking for a place to stay with close proximity to Hayward Field, and a reasonable rate and found the Secret Garden. The staff is sweet and personable. They upgraded my parents to a suite free of charge, simply because they could. Breakfast was free and served 8-10. Wifi made it easy to use my tablet to get email... More

The Secret Garden is a short walk to the UO campus. The room (Apiary) I had was very large, and very comfortable. I loved the gas fireplace on a rainy Sunday afternoon. The breakfasts were delicious, although one should plan to take one's time, as the food comes out as it is ready. It was nice to chat with the... More

In the late 1990s when Becky Kaiser became steward of this stately home once owned by the Baker family of the distinguished newspaper, the Eugene Register Guard. She brought with her the aura of her grandfather, Henry Kaiser, known as the father of modern American ship building.

The common rooms consist of a large lobby with intimate seating areas with fireplaces, two large dining rooms & gorgeous gardens ideal for weddings, meetings and social gatherings.

The staff enjoys sharing knowledge of the recreational pleasures of the Willamette Valley including the annual Oregon Bach Festival, Oregon Mozart Players, Prefontaine Classic, UofO Football & Basketball games, NCAA Track & Field, wine tastings at nearby King Estates and always golf, especially at Bandon Dunes on the Oregon coast.
