One of my favorite VRBO stays. The hosts include so many special touches and extras; it made our stay in this charming house even more special. We will definitely be back!
The hosts are so friendly and make you feel welcome. This is me and my kids second year coming to the Owl's nest. We will definitely be back again! I can't say enough great things about this location. I suggest everyone comes and stays at least once..
A beautiful place in the forest, with superb amenities throughout the rental. In the city AND in the country, with interesting wildlife, quiet, and great views. Nice hosts and many fun things to do, in a well maintained downstairs apartment with full access to a gorgeous deck and large backyard. Comfortable and cozy, yet spacious. The hosts were welcoming when we arrived and then we had the backyard to ourselves to enjoy. We loved it and hope to vacation there again.
We had a wonderful stay at the Owls Nest. It is clear that Billy and Carol have put a lot of thought, time and effort to make you feel welcome. Our flight was delayed 3 hours and we didn’t arrive until 1:00 am so we had no time to shop for groceries but we awoke to not just coffee but also eggs and bagels and cream cheese and had and half. All of the amenities described in the listing were very accurate and we were fortunate enough to have great weather to enjoy all of the ones outdoors. We have stayed at dozens of properties and Billy and Carol are by far the best hosts we have ever had the pleasure to rent from. We will be back for sure!
Wonderful experience, would highly recommend booking your stay here. Carol and Billy were so thoughtful and super responsive, would definitely book again!

Thanks Michelle for the kind words. We hope you come again.
What a great place and people! This is one of the more top notch places I have stayed in terms of the people hosting it. They definitely know what they are doing. The forethought put into the amenities is probably the best out of all the places I have stayed over the years. I come to Portland often to see my kids and sometimes get a VRBO. Billy was just a text away for anything we needed and super quick response. This place will be my first choice from now on.

We’re grateful for the kind words. This is the kind of review we strive for. I hope you can come when the weather is better so you can enjoy all the outside has to offer as well.
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!

So glad you enjoyed your stay and that Gianna had a good time here. We do hope you’ll stay with us again when visiting Doug. Thanks for the review.
The two bedrooms were very beautiful, beds were comfortable and the Owls Nest was very well stocked up with light eating snacks which is a rarity. The hosts Bob and Carol Fox were available to help us out It was a very relaxing stay.
Beautiful property set in the woods. It was even more beautiful with all the fall colors. Very comfortable with so many amenities and wonderful artwork.The perfect place to explore Portland and the Columbia Gorge. Thanks for sharing.Deb and BobMarblehead, OH

Hey Deb. It was great hosting you and Bob as part of your PacNW adventure. So glad you enjoyed our place in the woods. Please visit us again. Billy and Carol
Soooo relaxing and lots of opportunity for family and/or friends to play as well- hot tub, games, fire pit. Hosts are very responsive and kind. We are refreshed after two days and nights. Thank you!
Loved the property, in the city without feeling like youre in the city. Also close to the airport and other attractions. Good communication with the owners. We wished we could have stayed longer!
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.

Thanks Beth. We enjoyed having you as well. Hope you’ll come again soon.
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 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!
We spent a lovely weekend visiting family. Our family enjoyed our stay. The kids enjoyed all the fun outdoor activities & chalk board. Adults enjoyed the jacuzzi. Everything was very clean , beds were very cozy & even had a pack a play for the little one to use. Temperature of the house was perfect! Such a beautiful property & relaxing. Thank you so much for sharing your space we appreciate it so much . We felt welcomed & cared for during our stay
