  • Thank you so much Dan and Ryan! We had the best time, relaxing in the beautiful house, sitting in the garden. It was a wonderful experience all around and we will NEVER stay in a Portland hotel again. We cooked and watched movies, it was a great trip, thank you so much! We will be back!!!!!!!

  • We enjoyed the cozy envirnoment Dan and Ryan created not only inside the unit but outside as well. Thoughtfully appointed, beautifully landscaped, and well equipped, we nested comfortably. The neighborhood is quiet, eclectic, and tidy. There's a funky "vibe" of ethnic restaurants, a terrific bike shop, book store, seasonal farmers' market,etc. that is charming and inviting. Dan and Ryan are thoughtful hosts: they provided excellent driving directions from my house in Wa. (!), gave us tips about local shopping, and were available to assist us at any time. Thanks for the lovely surroundings and hosting, Dan and Ryan.

  • This sweet duplex really is like a retreat, or an oasis in the beautiful city of Portland. The apartment itself and the beautiful landscaping create an atmosphere where one can truly relax after a busy or hectic day in downtown Portland. I was able to ride my bike from here on a daily basis, most steep climbs can be circumvented and wind through beautiful, generally peaceful streets. Another plus is that the trendy neighborhoods of Hawthorne, Belmont, and Laurelhurst are just a few minutes away. Dan and Ryan have remembered every creature comfort that one needs to really “feel at home” in a vacation rental. I only ate out a few times since I enjoyed cooking and hanging out in the very well equipped kitchen. The wifi is great too. This is definitely a place that you will want to visit again and again.

  • What hospitality! Even before we got there Dan was assisting us with locating public transportation so we could get around (three major buslines within 2 blocks walk!). The place is close to the airport yet in a quiet sweet neighborhood. Upon arriving, Dan gave us a wonderful orientation to sweet Montevilla neighborhood which we then enjoyed thoroughly over our long weekend stay. From the farmers market on Sunday, to the amazing pie and coffee at the Bipartisan Cafe to the fantastic brunch at the Country Cat - yum! The new bike shop nearby rents bikes so we were able to check out the neighborhoods and Mt Tabor park and not have to rent a car for the weekend. Its all so close! The house too is sweet, with new clean interior with a perfect amount of interesting art and color. The gardens are inspiring (cutest on the block) - with fruits and flowers and shade awnings and a sweet sitting patio. We were busy with wedding events all weekend, but the great location of the place (and Dan's orientation) allowed us to really enjoy the neighborhood deeply. We also felt we had a sanctuary to come back home to rest in between fun events. (Comfy beds too). This spot is definitely staying on my list for future Portland trips! Thank you Dan!

  • WE had the wonderful opportunity to spend 3 days at the Garden Retreat. Our first pleasurable surprise was the gracious welcome from one of the hosts, Dan. He made us feel so at home. The home is beautifully renovated with all the comforts of home, and the garden is simply stunning and such a welcome space to curl up with a book or share a glass of wine in the afternoon. If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful, yet convenient to the city center the Garden Retreat is PERFECT! We will definitely return.
