Paradise in Portland!
We feel so lucky to say we have stayed at this property three times since our son began college at Lewis and Clark. It is gorgeous--the landscaping exquisite, and you'd be hard pressed to find a better view of the Willamette than the one here! Sara is flexible, helpful, but also gives you space. We've stayed in both rooms on the property and they are incredibly comfortable. Also great is the proximity to Portland, and specifically, one of the best neighborhoods in Portland, Sellwood-Moreland. Sellwood is charming, packed with cool cafes, bars and restaurants and some great grocery stores, too. Only minutes from the property, you'll find it easy to check out the city, but you'll enjoy returning to this urban oasis!
Great location!
Quiet and close to a park along the river. The Farmers Market was fantastic!
Not as advertised-can't change description from "I loved it" to "Not really"
Parking was terrible! Had to back up a hill onto a street.
Think in terms of a 50's lake cottage.
Needs deep-cleaned (toaster, coffee pot, refrigerator handles, doors to bathroom, tub under faucet, carpets) I cleaned the filter in the air filter machine (I have pictures), the fan blowing over the bed was full of dust.
Hot tub is not hot. Called owner and she said no one wanted it hot. 72 degrees is not a hot tub. Said to turn it up, but it never heated. Had no chlorine in it, and the bottle of chlorine tablets was full of water (?) and not usable.
Note says to keep blinds closed for sun as the airconditioner can't keep up with it. We rented this for the view, not to close it up dark and sit in a cave.
Grass was full of duck poop. Called and complained upon arrival thinking it was dog, but guess you can't fight nature.
Bed was comfortable, nicely decorated.
Absolutely wonderful!!
We travel a lot and this is one of the best places we have stayed! Beautiful grounds, quiet, peaceful. The room had everything we needed and was wonderful! Sara was so helpful if we had any questions and responded immediately. We read by the river, listening to the ducks and geese, chilled in the hammock, took out the kayaks! We will definitely be back! Stay here, I promise you won't be disappointed!
Gorgeous Setting
We loved the outdoor area.
A delightful and unique property.
We had a delightful time at a wonderful mini resort on the river. The rooms were clean, nicely decorated and comfortable. The grounds were a delight with numerous seating and resting areas and direct access to the river on the sandy beach. We will be back!
