Kathryn's houseboat is a DREAM!!
I had the privilege to stay here for 2 months (took a break from downtown Portland) and it was exactly the escape I needed. It is very peaceful and quiet (minus the airplanes, but you get used to them), she's stocked the place with all the amenities, and the kayaking is awesome - the current is a beast, but it's worth going to the end of the island to watch the sunrise and sunset! Her neighbors are great (super chill folks living their dreams on their boats!) and Tom, the Harbor Master, is a perfect version of an old sailor (without the sailor talk!). I stayed there March & April so I saw many ducklings and goslings and the ospreys are phenomenal. There's also bunnies all over! Sigh. It was really quite dreamy. I will definitely be back to visit! Thank you, Kathryn!
Oh! Kathryn is also super communicative!
