This was the perfect place for our one vacation since the pandemic began. We along with my parents (and likely everyone else) we’re quite burned out after the past year and a half, and so we’re craving a true getaway while still being convenient to Portland in case I went into labor. This place far exceeded any expectations we had when picturing an ideal getaway spot. The pictures don’t even come close to capturing how amazing the view and surroundings are. We arrived to a rainbow, sun-shower, monarch butterflies everywhere, and 2 bald eagles flying by, perching in a nearby tree. Just amazing. Our 2 year old loved exploring everything about the property - we even used the pool numerous times despite chilly air a few days. Beds are comfy, there’s plenty of space to gather or spread out for some alone time, and the kitchen had everything we needed.
Only suggestions for improvement are some wd40 on the bedroom doors so they don’t squeak when you open them, and if there’s a way to fight the fruit flies and deer flies (they were there when we arrived) that would go a long way. We made traps and kept everything put away and that helped a lot during the week. The one major drawback was construction happening every weekday next door, which shattered the pristine magical quiet we so enjoyed the first 2 days. Doubtful this will be an issue often, just a bummer it fell during our week. Naps, quiet time, reading uninterrupted etc. just couldn’t happen during the days. Will always make sure to ask about surrounding property work in the future no matter where we go.
All in all it’s an exceptional place, like no other. Truly magical, and we will happily stay again in the future.
