Nifty Thrifty - Affordable, Comfortable, in Ideal Location!

Casual, affordable and oh so conveniently located, Nifty Thrifty is the answer for singles, couples and small families seeking elbow room on a visit to fun and funky Eugene. Park the car in the attached garage: Around the corner (29th and Willamette) you’ll find a gourmet market, and a variety of restaurants and shops. And now, a budding food cart pod just a block away!

Bring a bike or take advantage of the two bus lines that are just steps from your door – either way, you’re within minutes of Fifth Street Market, the Hult Center, Saturday Market, the University of Oregon campus and Hayward Field, or Autzen Stadium. It’s only 20 minutes by car to the Lorane Valley wine country, less than 60 to the whitewater beauty of the McKenzie River, and less than 90 to hike or ski the Cascades. Nothing’s out of reach from this location!

The one-story 1950s-vintage house features two bedrooms, a full bath, hardwood floors, a fireplace, a private fenced and landscaped backyard (roses and fruit trees!) and a laundry. Thanks to the addition of a ductless heat pump, there is AC. The full-sized kitchen is equipped with all the appliances you’ll need to pull together breakfast at the dinette or serve dinner in the dining room. If there’s business on your schedule, there’s a workstation in the master bedroom and WiFi throughout the house. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, friendly, and eclectic.

Said a recent guest: 'Nifty Thrifty was the perfect choice...ideally located, close to shopping, public transit, the university, and Amazon Park with its bicycle & running trails, children's playground and a great dog park. The home is spotless with all the extras one could need, even a garage for the car. The back yard was perfect, completely fenced with plants and lawn and a small patio with a table and chairs. The neighborhood is extremely quiet with very little traffic other than the local residents. All in all, we couldn't have been more pleased...and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a vacation rental in Eugene.'

The details:
• Queen-sized bed in the primary bedroom.
• Full-sized bed in the second bedroom.
• Sofa sleeper (please request information before planning to use it)
• Air bed available for small-child use upon request.
• The house is ramp-equipped for handicapped access from the garage, though not all interior doorways are wide enough for wheelchair use. Grab bars are installed at the front door and in the bathroom.
• All linens and an uncommonly wide range of cooking supplies are provided.

My Aunt and I enjoyed our stay. Every room was clean and comfortable and our host, Ellen was thorough, pleasant and responsive. The place has a staying with your grandparents vibe with roses, grapevines and blueberry bushes in the back yard. It was the respite we needed after a challenging workshop.
