Marlene was a fantastic host! She went above and beyond my expectations. She accommodated us 1 night early, and took the time to make us feel welcome & at home. She made recommendations for local spots to visit in Portland, and made herself available if we needed to reach her. Her listing was exactly as described! Beautiful house, scenic views, away from the city.. truly relaxing. I am already planning my next trip back to Marlene's and would highly recommend it to anyone who wants a quiet getaway in the woods. thank you Marlene for being an outstanding host! You've made my trip to Portland memorable.
