Arlene was a perfect hostess and her woodland retreat offers the peace and comfort that define an optimal getaway. From fresh eggs delivered by her chatty and sweet chickens to a spa tub that rivals any high end boutique hotel’s, the space is perfect for a couple looking to getaway to Portland. The location isn’t far from most of the sights, but is also a safe neighborhood where you will feel comfortable staying. The garden is overlooked by an incredible expanse of windows, providing a lovely spot to breakfast and enjoy your morning cup of Joe. Arlene is helpful, kind, conversational and yet not invasive like some friendly hosts may become. A Portland resident for some time, she has many suggestions for quality activities within the city. We definitely plan on staying here every time we are in Portland.
