The Artisan Sanctuary is by far the most hospitable, relaxing and comfortable temporary lodging we’ve encountered. Margo shows exceptional thoughtfulness in caring for her guests’ needs, providing – for example -- both coffee and orange juice to get the day started, and a small sampling of local beers in the fridge to wind down at day’s end. We enjoyed the overall spaciousness of the Sanctuary, as well; we were particularly envious of the roomy and restful sitting area near the bed – if only our bedroom were as inviting!

The neighborhood around the Sanctuary is quiet, as well, and within easy driving distance of several interesting places for breakfast and lunch.

Folks with moderate mobility difficulties might want to consider that the stairs down into the Sanctuary are a bit steep. Margo was thoughtful to alert us about that in advance of our arrival, so it presented little to no difficulty to us.

We hope to the Sanctuary is available to us on our next trip to Portland.
