Guests love staying with us; "Brenda's property is fantastic. We had a gathering of friends for a long weekend on this property (rented the cabin too) and had the best time. Having the creek to splash around in, warm running water for showers and washing dishes, trails to explore, and the delivery of fresh produce and eggs from the property far exceeded our expectations. Brenda is the best host - she answered all my questions quickly and was very generous with our group. Definitely recommend!"

I wish I could have stayed more than one night but the Guest house was perfect. The area is so incredibly beautiful. Communication with Connie and her daughter was clear and friendly, any questions were quickly answered. The animals were the icing on the cake! 5 stars on everything!

Weekend Trip to Buena Vista Lavender Farm
The tiny home was very cute and cozy! We especially loved the kitchen space. It was perfect for two people. The property was peaceful and well maintained, considering it is a working farm. The animals were all lovely to see (avoid the brown rooster though) & we saw lots of chunky tadpoles in the pond. The hosts were generous in sharing fresh blackberries, pears, apples, and grapes. We ran into a few other guests as well, who were very kind. A great place to stay for those wanting to be in nature!

Incredible spot! We'll definitely return. We had a 4 year old and a 1 year old and the tiny house worked really well for us. Neal, the caretaker, and the other staff were so helpful. One even gave our son some snacks for the incredible goat at the farm. The grounds in general are extremely well taken care of and the communal bathrooms and eating areas are great.
The pictures don't show it, but there also a table in the back of the tiny house. Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed staying at Brenda's place. The creek was so refreshing and we loved staying in the tiny cabin. It was clean and the bed and pillows were very comfortable. Brenda was a wonderful host. Our kids enjoyed setting up their tents close to the creek and we enjoyed having our own firepit next to the cabin. It's a great place for families as the whole property is fenced in. It's not too far from Silver Falls State Park which was a fun activity.

1 night at Creekside camping with showers
10/10 experience! After nights of camping, we treated ourselves to one of Brenda’s cabin. The hot showers, access to clean bathrooms, electricity, and cooking area with all the cookware made our trip super comfortable. My dog loved running around the many acres of land!
Brenda was so lovely to chat with. I just loved her energy! And she was so sweet to offer eggs and veggies she grew in her garden.
Highly recommend if you’re looking for a place to stay outside of silver falls.

1 night at Buena Vista Lavender Farm
Connie does such an excellent job with the properties on Buena Vista Lavender Farm. The views were as advertised, the home was impeccably maintained, the directions were clear, and the hospitality was superb. We stayed here at "Little Tiny" for one night on a Pacific Northwest road trip, and it was just as stunning as tent camping on the Pacific Ocean at Second Beach in Olympic National Park. Would recommend to anyone!

Buena Vista Lavender Farm is a beautiful place run by a caring and welcoming family. Our family of 4 stayed in "Big Tiny," an expertly appointed tiny home that was comfortable and had everything we needed. We appreciated the little extras in the kitchen (microwave popcorn, oatmeal, tea, coffee), and the things that made it feel like home (books, blankets, games). Note that one of the beds is accessed by a ladder and could be difficult for less agile guests, though I did appreciate the safety railing across that sleeping loft. Our favorite part of the stay was watching the sun set over the lavender fields, then going over to the barn to meet and pet all the farm animals. Connie and her family are gracious hosts and told us all about their resident chickens, goats, sheep, alpacas, donkey, mini horse, kittens, and dogs. Of all the places we stayed on our west coast road trip, this stay was voted #1 by my two daughters (ages 9 and 13).

This was my fourth stay at the lavender farm. My little dog loves it because he can run without a leash and he’s safe. I have stayed 3 times at the tiny house and once at the tiny big house. Connie the host is lovely as is her husband and daughter. They’ve always made sure that I have had a lovely stay every time

Absolutely amazing! We have a 3 and 4 year old and it was a perfect place for them to roam, explore and be in nature. We stayed in the cabin and can I just say- those sheets were soooo nice! Nicer than so many hotels I’ve stayed at. It was a great stay

The tiny house was lovely nice shower and toilet and a balcony to sit out on. And my dog was able to run around except I put him on the leash when we went to look at the farm and the animals. There was internet and tv and it was private and peaceful. If there had been availability I would’ve stayed an extra night. There was also a bed to sleep upstairs but I preferred to sleep downstairs. It was perfect.

The best tiny homes near Waterloo guide
Where to go
Along the South Santiam River
The South Santiam River offers lots of opportunities for fishing and boating, and the quiet stretch near Waterloo sees less activity than some of the busier areas. The river links up with the Foster Reservoir, a popular spot to go fishing, boating, swimming, and camping in the summer months.
Santiam State Forest
Situated on the western slopes of the Cascade Range, this small forest is full of hiking, mountain biking, and equestrian trails, plus five campgrounds. It's also the site of a couple of pretty waterfalls: Shellburg Falls and Stasel Falls.
Albany and Around
The biggest city in Lynn County, Albany offers a good mix of historic attractions and outdoor recreation opportunities, with multiple parks within city limits plus two golf courses. Albany also has a few historic houses and a hand-carved wooden carousel.
When to go
Summer is ideal for visiting the Waterloo area, with temperatures at their highest in July and August. However, this time of year is also busy, owing largely to Waterloo’s proximity to the most densely populated parts of Oregon, so expect lots of camping families up until Labor Day, when school goes back in session. September is a great time to visit if you want warm temperatures, fewer crowds, and a lower risk of rain.
