Stayed at Mark's place for 5 days with my wife and our 17 year old son. We spent most of our time sitting on the back porch, kayaking/canoeing and in the river. The place was quiet but not too quiet. The island cafe right across the way is a great place to grab drinks and food. Quick and easy uber/lyft ride into downtown Portland and all the food offerings you could ever ask for. Mark was great; communicated with us during the stay and offered suggestions on eateries. Would highly recommend his place.
