We were so happy with our accommodations at The Owl’s Nest. Billy and Carol could not have been more welcoming or more thorough in every detail of our stay. We really appreciated the thoroughly stocked kitchen, and the many forms of entertainment for our 9 year old, including board games, darts, corn hole, and her personal favorite, the rope swing! We definitely plan on staying here again for our next visit to Portland!

Idyllic Oasis of Calm

Billy and Carol (and their family) are wonderful people who graciously share their beautiful home and property with visitors. The location is perfect; quiet and peaceful yet close to shopping and activities. The space is creatively/artistically furnished and ultra well-stocked with all the comforts of your own home (plus more!). Clean and comfortable...it was very tough to leave.

Perfect Relaxing Getaway

This property is cute, comfy, homey, relaxing and tucked away for privacy, while being close enough to pop into the hub of the city. The hot tub is a bonus- very clean. Comfy couches and throws on the deck to enjoy your morning cup of joe. Well stocked with anything and everything you could think of to make your stay comfortable. Carol and Bill are excellent hosts!

Carol and Billy are amazing hosts!!! They have made a retreat in this beautiful secluded property. The amenities have spoiled us to stay at future VRBO’s!! They have everything you could possibly want/need and more that you never knew you needed!! This place and these people are 5 star!!! More than that if there was a higher rating. If you get an opportunity to book this diamond place, don’t miss your opportunity….the secret is getting out and people are loving this beautiful place. We will return!!!!

We stayed at the Owl’s Nest over Thanksgiving and had a wonderful time. The kitchen had everything needed to enjoy a meal…and the place is very peaceful and relaxing and also close to all that Portland has to offer. Would happily stay here again.

This is one of the best-stocked places I've ever stayed in this country or overseas. It did have some foodstuffs, and a whole range of spices and condiments, but what really made the difference was the available kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room equipment and supplies. It was SO nice to have everything I could ever need to make meals.The place was large and roomy, and very, very clean. The outdoors was beautiful and private, and had a variety of sitting areas. They actually own 5 whole acres (in Portland!!), so that was a nice surprise.The owners were on-site (upstairs), but I never even heard them at all. However, when I had questions, they were prompt, helpful, and very friendly. I've had a lot of different experiences with VRBO and AirB&B, and this was by far my best one yet.
Looking past the hot tub toward a nook with some nice landscaping (and a waterfall), and you can see our deck rail to the right.
