The lodge is a great place to stay with a few disclaimers to keep in mind. The yard is wonderful and about as good as it gets for traveling with a dog! Plenty of space to run and the chance to play with other visiting dogs at the other Airbnbs sharing the property. The lodge is rustic but charming, and it has all the space needed for our stay including a nice patio to watch the dogs roam. As for the disclaimers, be prepared for the heat. We happened to visit during one of Portland's (now normal) 90-100+ degree weeks. There is AC in the lodge, but it is a standalone unit in the bedroom. So the bedroom may get 10 degrees cooler, but the rest of the lodge will be fairly close to the temp outside. Toasty but manageable, except that we had a baby with us. Knowing this, Janet was an absolutely wonderful host and gave us some options to get us out of the pickle. We eventually were able to switch to a neighboring unit managed by Janet, and she even purchased a second AC unit to help cool down that house for us! We can't thank her enough for that. Unfortunately, the next morning we woke up to find ants throughout the house (noticed a few in the lodge as well) and decided it was time to find a hotel. All of that being said, Janet is wonderful, and the lodge has the potential to be very enjoyable during the right time of year and if you don't mind some critters 🙂.
