Tips on Relocating to Corvallis – Moving Beyond a Vacation Rental
Are you planning to move to Corvallis, Oregon? Congratulations! Many find that Corvallis has a friendly small-town vibe
while still offering easy access to cultural events, great restaurants, and amenities one might expect in a larger city.
Guests who stay at our vacation rentals enjoy making Corvallis their home base as they explore the Willamette Valley and
the Oregon Coast. We will let you in on a little secret, living here is even better!
Being in the heart of the Willamette Valley, Corvallis is surrounded by wineries, farmland, forests, and open spaces. It
is also an easy drive to mountains, beaches, and cities like Portland, Eugene, and Salem.
Fernwood Circle Guest Houses offers premium short-term vacation rentals as well as extended stay accommodations. These
are a perfect choice for people moving to Corvallis, Oregon!
An Extended Stay Rental Makes Moving Easier
Rather than stay in a hotel, why not opt for a clean and cozy home? Fernwood Circle Guest Houses are among Corvallis’
premiere sources for business travel and vacation rentals. Our rentals are stand-alone houses or apartments complete
with your own private entrance.
We book both short stays for visits and extended stays for guests who need lodging for 30+ days while they look for a
house, start a new job or enroll in an educational program at Oregon State University or Linn Benton Community College.
We even have rentals exclusively for an extended stay.
Corvallis is a welcoming community, however, during uncertain times new residents sometimes have trouble finding a house
or an apartment. It is typically a seller’s market with many houses selling almost immediately after they go on the
market. If you don’t already have a house ready, it may be easier to find one if you are already in town.
Since we manage multiple stand-alone guest houses, our guests stayed in quiet residential neighborhoods close to Oregon
State University, Hewlett-Packard, downtown Corvallis or Samaritan Regional Medical Center.
Relocation doesn’t have to get in the way of a good night’s sleep.
Tips for a Safe and Pleasant Move
Due to recent outbreaks, people are more germ-conscious than ever. Fortunately, we have always paid close attention to
details including cleanliness. Our housekeeping team thoroughly cleans between guests. In fact, we have been called a
“germ-o-phobe’s dream.”
Staying in a stand-alone house or apartment makes it easier to control how much you interact with the outside world more
than you could in a commercial hotel or motel. Many Corvallis hotels and vacation rentals are in commercial areas like
downtown or on another busy commercial street. Fernwood Circle Guest Houses are all located in some of Corvallis’ nicest
residential neighborhoods.
