Lovely Home Away From Home
Came up to Newberg to spend Thanksgiving with our George Fox student. Glad we came up a few days early so I could figure out the stove/oven (YouTube had great instructional videos).
It was the perfect size for the three of us! Quiet neighborhood but parking was sometimes a challenge. There’s a public lot around the corner, though, but when you have a carload of groceries, the lot’s not the best option.
My suggestion for future guests who stay in the Fall/Winter (who come from warmer climates than the Pacific NW) is to pack some throw blankets for when you’re watching tv on the couch. I would have loved a blanket.
I like cooking on vacations so I found the kitchen utensils a bit lacking, but Fred Meyer is just up the street and they have everything. If you plan to cook, do yourself a favor and check out the pantry (under the microwave)—there’s some stuff that other renters have left, but it might not be what you need or it might be just what you need. But check expiration dates!
The host supplies flour, sugar, brown sugar, coffee, espresso, teas and salt/pepper. I left a supply of ziplocs, cling wrap, foil, etc. for the next residents to find. Hope the next renters enjoyed the house as much as we did!
