Very comfortable and convenient
It is located at a rustic farm and yet is very close to civilization. Shopping Mall is just a mile away! A pair of friendly and helpful hosts who would accommodate our needs. Great place to stay and enjoy the surrounding!

Miscommunication
Eclectic! Interesting stuff everywhere in the yards and trail through the woods. Misinformation: intended to cook and share Thanksgiving dinner. Site said seating for 8! No dining area because a futon bed is in the kitchen! Host made every attempt to fix the problem, provided chairs and card table.Served and ate dinner in the upstairs bedroom:)(she also said we could cancel, upon our arrival if it wasn’t satisfactory) After driving four hours that wasn’t an option. We made it work!!

Perfect spot to stay for a night
The bungalow apartment had everything we could have needed. I enjoyed the artwork in the breezeway between the main house and the apartment…so much to look at and it looked so cool at night with the white string lights. The bed upstairs was comfortable and the room kept a comfortable temperature. It would have been nice to have a small bistro table and maybe a loveseat or armchair downstairs, rather than the additional bed. There isn’t really a good place to eat besides the table outside. There were cigarette butts in the ashtray on that table which wasn’t the hugest deal to us, but we aren’t smokers so it made the area not as inviting to sit down. The cold breakfast options were super thoughtful, and Don was very welcoming when I arrived and showed me around the apartment. Definitely more of a B&B experience then the typical VRBO.

Very Portland!
We were looking for something a little different that was located close to where we previously lived. This place was perfect for our needs. The owners are great! Very friendly, great communication, clean accommodations. We would definitely book here again.

My first and last VRBO stay
While the host was friendly and easy to communicate with the property was less than ideal. For one, it was infested with Assassin bugs. My husband had to remove at least a dozen each night. Cleanliness was lacking, we moved the footstool for the upstairs lounge chair and discovered lost clothing and dog toys from what I am assuming is a previous stay. For the bathroom, only the shower worked as the bath faucet that could be used to fill the tub was covered in tape. Lastly, the property was clearly owned by someone who felt the need to hoard. This included giant boxes of rotten vegetables in the walkway. As well as a large chef knife hanging out of a box of random supplies located by the house where it could be easily accessed by a small child. In the future, I will be staying at hotels.

About the host

Hosted by owner/property manager

Host profile image
A native Portlander, Don, and a Russian/Armenian immigrant(Mary) returned from adult careers in California. Both with outdoor interests. Don, previously in the film industry, with medical, acting, dance, yoga teaching background as well, & Mary a catering business owner, kitchen supervisor, merchandising, and she also previously worked in her family's carpet sales business in Moscow. BA's in philosophy and psychology respectively.

Why they chose this property

We wanted a larger property with some water feature that needed some attention to rehab its natural aspects. Now more than half the property is park like and improving every day. The house was listed as a teardown, but we decided it could be saved, both to save money and renew an old but still viable resource: a lovely home. Frogs, salamanders, deer, owls, and much more share our property. It's non-forest spaces, originally overgrown lawns, are being turned into orchard, vegetable fields and wildflower patches for wildlife.

What makes this property unique

Clean air, relaxing forest and beautiful creek alone make this a great place to visit. However, the small farm is gradually producing sustainable yields, used for ourselves and guests breakfasts. All spaces are within feet of the forest. The property is also within a major metro area, allowing quick trips to any urban interests, and only a 20 minute drive into downtown Portland. And the larger Metro Portland areas is commonly listed as the best outdoor city in America, with 15-45 minute access to dozens of parks from local to national parks. 3 major rivers within 20 minutes.
