Kathryn’s place is super teeny-tiny and cute which is perfect for me as a person who lives full-time in a tiny home. I loved opening the windows and hanging out on the dock. I was in town visiting family for Hanukkah and it was a great getaway as a Portlander that wanted to stay away from the hustle and bustle. Also, the bed is super comfy!
Two things to note:
1. If you are a light sleeper this may not be the stay for you. The house boat has blinds but not curtains and the lights from the marina stay on 24/7 so the inside of the boat stays very bright at night. Also, this spot is super close to the airport and the planes will definitely wake you up - they’re very loud.
2. The ramp down to the marina is very steep and not super awesome for dogs to walk on (it’s grated and a little pokey for their feet). I had to carry both of my dogs (one is very large) up/down the ramp during my stay. It was a bit difficult.
That being said, I’d honestly still stay here - I’d just maybe bring a mask and ear plugs and leave the dogs at home. It’s a super cute spot and the marina staff is incredibly friendly, they even left me a wagon to help get my dogs up/down the ramp.
