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.

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.
