Originally constructed in 1902, this remarkable property stands as one of Carlton’s most distinctive historic residences, thoughtfully reimagined into a refined retreat in the heart of Oregon wine country. Over more than a century, the building has served as a church, a Finnish Lutheran gathering place, a Rebekah Lodge, and eventually a private residence, with each chapter contributing to the home’s rich architectural and cultural character. Today, the restoration preserves its historic soul while introducing the comfort and functionality of modern luxury living.
Inside, the residence balances historic charm with contemporary warmth through spacious gathering areas, preserved architectural details, and carefully updated interiors. The main living spaces feel inviting and relaxed, designed for both quiet weekends and larger group stays. A fully equipped kitchen with oversized island seating, modern appliances, and generous prep space anchors the home, while multiple lounge areas, fireplaces, books, and entertainment spaces create a comfortable atmosphere for spending time together after days exploring the Willamette Valley.
The home accommodates up to twelve guests across multiple thoughtfully designed sleeping spaces. The main floor primary suite includes a king bed, additional sofa sleeper, and private ensuite bathroom, while four upstairs king bedrooms provide elevated comfort and flexibility for families, couples, and group travel. Four bathrooms throughout the property feature updated finishes and walk-in showers, while the overall layout maintains a boutique hotel feel balanced with the warmth of a private residence.
Beyond the interiors, the property offers several inviting spaces designed for relaxation and gathering. Guests can enjoy the spa-style hot tub after wine tasting excursions, spend evenings around the fireplace, or unwind in the game room complete with ping pong and entertainment areas. The home’s peaceful setting, combined with modern conveniences including high-speed WiFi, air conditioning, laundry facilities, and garage parking, makes it equally suited for weekend escapes, extended wine country stays, or celebratory gatherings.
Located directly in Carlton, one of the Willamette Valley’s most walkable and charming wine towns, the property places guests within easy reach of celebrated tasting rooms, restaurants, vineyard estates, and scenic countryside drives. Rolling vineyards surround the area, while nearby wineries, local markets, and small-town cafés capture the slower rhythm and understated sophistication that define Oregon wine country. Rich in history yet designed for contemporary comfort, the residence offers a truly distinctive stay in the heart of the valley.
