Sam and Jess have created a calm, beautifully curated sanctuary, located in quiet neighborhood, with the green woods of The Grotto Sanctuary bordering the backyard.
Wonderful attention to the details that make a visitor feel at home. A well-stocked kitchen (teas, fresh coffee beans with burr grinder, bottled water, half and half, fresh fruit and snacks, spices and some food in cupboards). Full sized kitchen with fridge/oven/ dishwasher. Iron and ironing board, hairdryer, walk-in closet, well-stocked entertainment offerings, all contribute to the feeling that this could be home for awhile.
They have assembled a good collection of maps, guides, and personal recommendations for all that the area has to offer.
If you value serene forest walks and quiet meditation be sure to spend some time visiting The Grotto.
Public transportation is easily available in Portland, if you take the time to decipher their information. We did drive across the river into town, and found traffic to be a challenge! (this is coming from someone who drives in Seattle)
