Our History
More than just boutique short-term rentals—Southern Blue is where luxury living McMinnville, community, and convenience harmoniously come together in historic loft-style condos.
Southern Blue is where history and modern living converge in the heart of downtown McMinnville. Originally built in the late 1800s, this iconic building has taken on many roles over the years—from a private residence to a school, and later city offices—establishing itself as a cornerstone of the community. Today, it has been thoughtfully restored and transformed into a collection of historic loft-style condos and boutique short-term rentals that encapsulate luxury living in McMinnville.
Every suite at Southern Blue showcases the charm of historic loft-style condos while providing the comfort and style of modern luxury living in McMinnville. Original architectural details such as exposed brick and large historic windows have been carefully preserved, while updated finishes, contemporary amenities, and intentional design breathe new life into each unit. Whether you’re enjoying a weekend getaway in our boutique short-term rentals or deciding to call it home, Southern Blue delivers a unique blend of character, convenience, and elevated living—just steps away from the charm, dining, and energy of downtown.
