Donna and Philip have created a lovely indoor and outdoor retreat in Portland. The accommodations are tastefully appointed and the summer house was a much appreciated and lovely inclusion..a great place to sit, listen to good music, chat, and look out at the lovely garden outside.
Sellwood is a fantastic area. We fell in love with Grand Central Bakery (best Almond Milk Latte ever and their baked goods are seriously worth checking out), had a nice more upscale meal at Gino's, and the best fried potatoes the 'Jojos" (and laid back, fun atmosphere) at Simon's Office. We recommend walking around the neighborhood in the mornings, but get to Grand Central for coffee and morning pastry before the line is out the door.
Beautiful home in a beautiful neighborhood and less than 20 min. from the Hoyt Arboretum, International Rose Test Garden, and the Japanese Garden. We were only about 30 min. from my son's home as well as being 30-40 minutes from Multnomah, Triple, and Horsetail falls, the Oneonta Gorge, etc. (worthy hiking). We had a fantastic time!
