This place is truly special. Visitors to Portland may never have experienced Forest Park, but it is well worth a trip to stay in this exquisite landscape. Marlene's place is tucked into the western slope of the ridge separating Portland from the Tualatin Valley, with amazing views (when the mystical fog allows) and towering trees. Marlene is amazingly communicative and easy to reach, and will greet you and show you around when you arrive. The unit is cozy; be sure to avail yourself of the fireplace and hot tub for maximum hygge. We brought our little Bichon Frisé along and she was welcomed with her own oversized bed, blanket, towel, bowls, and treats! This was absolutely one of our best airbnb stays ever. Thank you so much, Marlene!
