Discover Our Unique History
Located in Brownsville, Oregon, this beautiful house, built in 1865, was once home to pioneers of the Oregon Trail. Flappers danced to jazz playing on the Victrola in the1920's. The mother of a WWII pilot sat at the window waiting for her son to come home from the war in the1940's. Teenagers screamed playing Elvis records in the living room in the 1950's. Kids watched The Wonderful World of Disney on the television in the 1970's. This house has seen so much over the century and a half of its life. And now you can be a part of the history of this charming house in a charming town.
This unique setting combines rich history with modern comforts, catering to friends and families of locals, parents of Oregon State University and University of Oregon students, vacationers and business travelers alike.​
Our stay at the historical Averill house was everything and more that we had hoped for. Brownsville is like stepping back 100 years in time and we absolutely loved it! The Averill house has so much history and is exactly the comfy, warm, homey type of place that we enjoyed staying in for four nights. We can’t wait to come back! Five stars all the way! Thank you, Lauren and Paul. You were very hospitable hosts and I cannot say enough about your wonderful home!

Initial contact with Lauren & Paul was the start of a very enjoyable trip; the house was comfortable and historic in settings, nice outside seating and located as to allow for numerous day trips if one chooses. We highly recommend this house to everyone looking for a stay near Eugene.

This was a beautiful, well kept place! I love that we were able to walk around town and see the wild turkeys! Everything was as described. Lauren and Paul are very responsive and informative. We enjoyed reading the history of the family. I would definitely recommend this place!
