The staff at the Retreat couldn't be any better. They are all such fun and kind people that genuinely want to help people solve any issues and get them to the right check point. The property is beautiful and the pool area is always a blast. I've lived at the Retreat for nearly two years and it has been well worth the money. The leasing/marketing manager is a sweetheart and one of the most helpful employees I have ever come across. Live here, Live well!

Not sure why so many people seem to have poor reviews because I honestly have nothing bad to say about living here. Living in Corvallis is expensive in general, but for the retreat include almost all ulities, furniture, a gym, free printing all the time, parking, a pool, and a lot more...youre getting your moneys worth. The staff is so kind and they truly do care about the residents. Maintence team is usually there the next day for any repairs and if they arent then its because its not a major issue. I highly suggest living at the Retreat because it really is a great place and I feel bad for people who had a bad experience :/

When I was a freshman I looked at the reviews of this place and was a little nervous to be living here my sophomore year, but as soon as I moved in all those nerves were put to rest. This place is amazing! I love living here so much and I made sure to renew my lease! It is a great community. It never gets extremely loud and the clubhouse is an amazing amenity! The computer lab and free printing has been SO helpful! Also I love how close I am to a gym instead of having to go all the way to Dixon. The staff is always so nice and so helpful! I really enjoy living here and really think it is worth your money! In addition the new 10 month leases make this place really stand out compared to other apartments in the area! Highly recommend!

I am IN LOVE with The Retreat At Corvallis! I have lived here the past two years and I am always greeted with friendly faces when I walk in to get packages or tan! The people at the front desk are always so sweet and can help you with any problems you have. My favorite part is being able to have a gym and grab my FREE triple cappuccino in the mornings! The coffee machine is state of the art and makes hands down the best hot chocolate- just sayin! LOL I live in a four bedroom unit with my best friends and we have had the best time living here. It is hands down the nicest place a college student can live and I could not recommend a better place to live. I mean hello a walk in closet and my own bathroom? That's a hell yes from me!

Wouldnt want to live anywhere else in Corvallis! The staff is very attentive and will go the extra mile to help you with whatever you need even if that means putting you in contact with someone else that can be more of help. As for the amenities, I only recall the hot tub and pool being closed for cleaning but rarely for repair. The gym is clean and perfect for those who cant stand how crowded Dixon gets. When I need maintenance in my apartment the staff gets to it in a reasonable amount of time. All in all, great place to live thats close to campus and as a plus its pet friendly!

What you see is anything but what you get. The number of things wrong with The Retreat outnumber what is right by far too large a figure. To start out, upon move in we were greeted with dusty floors, dirty counters and carpets, alongside underwear from the previous residents. The high speed WiFi rarely breaks 10 MBPS, but that doesnt matter since the internet goes out at least once a week. The dishwasher, which has been fixed 10+ times, has yet to work. And last but certainly not least, if you are one of the lucky ones, you get a 2 foot wide window looking between two buildings with no natural light, yet you pay the same absurdly high price as the people who have windows 4 times as big as yours. Overall, if you would like to be throwing money down the sink (that is if your sink works) then this is the place for you.

The worst place. I gave them a five star one year ago. I love their staff for beginning because they are friendly and tried to help but I have lived there for a year and my curiosity about bad reviews about retreat become clear. If you have trouble you have to deal with retreat, you will know why I am saying this. I had read these comments before i moved in, I know why people did regret living there.

Be -very very careful- of the student "roomate matching" they do there. My niece was matched up with foreign students (Chinese) who spoke almost no English, and were just downright rude, with no regard for the rules (no smoking) and no clue on sanitation. What's worse is when I went to visit, I was absolutely appalled at seeing the big white trash bags full of styro containers that reaked of nasty food leftovers, cardboard boxes filled with trash, all stacked up outside their locked bedroom doors. Notes were left for them to kindly dispose of their trash, and that smoking is not allowed. To no avail- no results. Repeated calls to both the office (Mary Kathryn) and the OSU student housing authority rendered no results. OSUSHA claimed the premises were off their campus and therefore they had no direct control. That said; the students are still OSU students offending other OSU students with their chosen behavior. This and other scenarios like them are completely sub- standard and unacceptable. Students are already paying way too much to attend college to begin with. This situation was a huge agitator of stress where stress didn't have to happen in the first place. If another student encounters this, just go straight to Linn-Benton Health dept.- don't even bother with anyone else. Thankfully it's over and the 2 words this family has for that place is: never again.

It's a bummer to see so many negative reviews, as I have lived here for a year and absolutely loved it. Lots of people are knocking the staff members, which is just not fair. The new management that started at the beginning of 2017 is great and have many some fantastic changes. The front office staff are all friendly and upbeat. Yes, they are younger (college students) but that doesn't make them any less capable than someone who is older, as some other reviews claimed. They are always happy to help me when I have questions. Other people complained about the maintenance team in their reviews. Again, I have to disagree. I have a dog that is very shy so I prefer to be home when someone comes by to fix something. The maintenance person not only called me to set up a good time for him to come over, but called again the day of to confirm with me. He was very nice and fixed my sink in all of 60 seconds. Yet another review said that the amenities are always broken. That's not true. I use the gym almost daily and have had zero problems with any of the equipment. I use the computer lab once or twice a week, and again, no problems. The pool has been closed 3 times since I lived here and all were due to circumstances outside their control and they had the pool fixed and back up within a 2-3 days. In one case it took nearly a week, but I asked the staff and they said they were waiting on a city official to come inspect the pool and sign off on a permit. It wasn't their fault it took so long. Overall, this is a great place to live. Yes, it's pricey, but your money goes a long way. The gym is great, pool and hot tub are nice, the location is excellent, and the staff are friendly. I'm bummed I'll be moving after the summer, because I really enjoy living here.

I would highly highly recommend that you do more research on the retreat before moving here. It's a rip off disguised quite nicely. PS:...

I would highly highly recommend that you do more research on the retreat before moving here. It's a rip off disguised quite nicely. PS: as an Oregon state student, we use a. Online website to submit AND access the bulk of our homework and class material and references, and with the Internet cutting out more than three times a week at random times it makes it very difficult to do school work while living here. I've missed class credit because of a due date at midnight and the retreat losing Internet at about 11:45.
