In a place so famous for gray weather as Eugene, OR, a cozy place to stay is a must. As such, we’re happy to introduce the Campbell House Inn.

Campbell House was built in 1892, a house that basically feels like a giant cottage. You’ve got a lovely curved facade with a bay window, and little nooks throughout the house.

The property includes the Carriage House, a more private option tucked into the trees of a garden-y area that could be a lawn or grounds.

It has the grandeur of a larger place, but all the friendliness you would expect. Indeed, there are hints of the amateur in the space and decor that reflect the mom-and-pop of it all.

This means you might not get the professional interior decorator, big-name hotelier in from New York City treatment.

It also means you get the family-owned, no-problem-too-small authenticity that is the mark of a good B&B.

What are the rooms like?

Number of rooms: 21 total, each one unique.
Victorian feel: Four-poster beds, antiques, and cozy layouts in the Main House.
Carriage House: Slightly more modern but still classic and private.
Extras: Private bathrooms, TVs, mini-fridges; suites add fireplaces and patios.

The main building is historic, this generally means small rooms, some creakiness, and each room being completely unique.

Guest Rooms are cozy but simple, while Suites are generally well-furnished and spacious.

The decor varies, but most rooms feel vaguely Victorian, with four-poster beds and antiques scattered throughout.

The Carriage House is slightly more contemporary, but still with a classic flair, and some nice furnishings.

It’s not far from the train station, with the Main House getting fewer complaints about the noise. Light sleepers take note.

With each room, you’ll get your own bathroom (check listings for those with tubs), TVs, and mini-fridges stocked with complimentary drinks. Suites include wet bars, patios and fireplaces.

The beds, while grand, sometimes feel a bit bigger than necessary, cutting into the room space.

Unsurprisingly, for a historic B&B, most are not ideal for hours of lounging inside.

And what’s the food like? Any facilities we should know about?

Breakfast included: Hot entrées, pastries, and coffee every morning.
Evening perk: Complimentary glass of wine at the Main House.
Shared spaces: Bay window dining area, cozy lounges, and small landscaped grounds.
Convenience: Free onsite parking for easy day trips.

You’ll start each day with a generous hot breakfast, plus a choice of entrées alongside pastries and hot coffee.

Fuel up for a day of adventure then, and in the evening have a complimentary glass of wine for the unwind.

The dining and relaxing areas are located in the Main House ground floor, where lots of light streams in from the bay window that faces the grounds.

The grounds are not extensive, but a small fairy-lit gazebo and some sweet landscaping give definite charm.

The parking is easy and free, making each day’s adventure more stress-free, on foot or by car.

How is the neighborhood? Anything interesting nearby?

Riverside setting: Next to the Willamette River and Skinner Butte Park.
Close to downtown: 5th Avenue shops and dining within a 10-minute walk.
Local flavor: ColdFire Brewery and McMenamins nearby.
Outdoors: Easy access to trails, parks, and short drives to Spencer Butte or Mount Pisgah.

The Inn is tucked away next to the Willamette River, minutes from the entrance to Skinner Butte Park.

It’s the perfect location for anyone looking for privacy and outdoors access, in a safe, quiet neighborhood where you can walk into the forest.

Campbell Park, along the riverside, is also walking distance, and from there it’s easy to cross the river and check out the north side of the city.

Even the social spots are easy to get to, with ColdFire Brewery in the neighborhood and a McMenamins just across the Willamette.

The more commercial hub of 5th Avenue less than a 10-minute walk. Here you’ll find plenty of shopping and places to eat and drink in the evening.

For cultural offerings, there are museums and historic houses close to the B&B.

Of course Eugene is best enjoyed in the great outdoors. The Willamette River walk will take you along the banks, towards Peter DeFazio Bridge or all the way towards Maurie Jacobs Park, a kid-friendly spot for picnic and play.

For the best hiking, take advantage of the easy parking and take a drive. Spencer Butte and The Ridgeline trail are just 15 minutes from the Inn. Mount Pisgah is around 20.

The more ambitious might enjoy a day trip up towards Salem and Silver Falls State Park.

And what about the reviews? What did other guests think?

Some things guests liked:

“The Inn was beautiful and exactly what my wife and I were looking for. It was close to the center of town, yet in a very quiet neighborhood. The facility was full yet was very quiet and relaxing! Highly recommend staying here….”

“Setting and grounds were beautiful. Staff cordial. Location excellent, within walking distance of downtown and adjacent to green space to walk our small dog. Breakfast was very good, available on the patio, so dog-friendly….”
