This was an incredibly wonderful stay when I visited Portland in January 2026. I really like that shoes aren't allowed to be worn inside because the the property was flawlessly clean. It's incredibly rare for me to feel comfortable enough to walk around barefoot at a place other than my own home, so this rule was a very positive one for me. The kitchenette is well equipped and it's obvious that care was taken to ensure guests have a peaceful retreat. Mary-Yoko and Terry are delightful and welcoming hosts. I would absolutely try to stay here again if/when I ever come back to Portland!

We loved the location and felt it was easy to access the things we wanted to do in the city and out. The dedicated parking space was a huge plus. The property is as described and pictured but much more. The space is in a beautiful neighborhood. It was tastefully decorated, clean, quiet, and comfortable with attention to detail. Hiking, shops, and restaurants are close by. Highly recommend!!

Great location- with attention to detail

This is a perfect spot to refresh and restore before and after you explore Portland and beyond. This is indeed a Zen retreat - in the hills of NW Portland feels like being in the trees. Includes meditation room with infrared sauna. Easy walk down hill to great restaurants and shops or up hill to Forest park trails.

Perfect Portland Getaway

This place is tucked away in the trees making it a delightful little getaway while still being close to all the bustle Portland has to offer. The host really took the time to stock the apartment with all the things you might need with additional thoughtful touches to make it feel cozy. The sauna js a real big perk as well!!

Great Location, Lovely Apartment

We had an amazing stay at this cute apartment in a lovely Portland neighborhood! We enjoyed waking up each morning and taking in the view of the woods. The space itself was very comfortable and spotlessly clean, making it easy to unwind. Mary and Terry were very welcoming and made us feel at home. Everything was exactly as described (if not better), and you can tell that they really care about creating a welcoming experience. We would absolutely come back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful getaway!
