Charming Snug Spot 70 in Eugene, ideal for 2, steps from downtown and Autzen.

Everything was perfect. The only thing is that when we entered, there was an unpleasant smell.

Hidden Gem is just that, a hidden gem. Great spot to enjoy Mother Nature and the river. The deck over looks the river where you can view the local flora and fauna and relax with a hot cup of coffee or glass of wine. The space is bigger than anticipated and had a well equipped kitchen to cook any meal with ease. Be sure to follow directions to the location carefully as it could be easy to miss. Short drive to Sequoia National Park and break restaurants and shops nearby.

My boyfriend and I had a relaxing 4-day getaway at Private Gem. The home was private and peaceful and we enjoyed listening to the stream in the backyard. House came with lots of amenities. Only complaint for us was that everything smelled very old, even the bath towels which also had a slight mildew scent. Nonetheless we still enjoyed our stay and had everything we needed to make ourselves comfortable. The host was also very friendly and responsive. Overall had a lovely time, but don’t recommend coming here during the winter when you can’t enjoy all of Sequoia. Most of the major roads were closed due to the ice, so we couldn’t explore much of the park (got as far as the Lodgepole Visitor Center and then had to turn around which was disappointing). Definitely check out Moro Rock if you visit the park! The trail to the rock was beautiful, but that was about all we got to do. General Sherman was accessible but we didn’t stop.. too crowded. Maybe we’ll come back during the warmer months :)

We loved our time at this peaceful oasis! Having the stream just outside was lovely, and the interiors were cozy but not stuffy. The kitchen was very well stocked with lots of pots, pans, graters, lemon squeezers, etc and had lots of spices. We were 20 mins from the main entrance to the park and 1 hr from General Sherman tree, so really couldn't be better positioned. The property felt so private and quiet and we would absolutely come back.
