We cannot say enough how perfect this house was for the 5 of us to stay for a week while getting ready and celebrating our daughter's wedding! It is not easy to find such a beautiful place in the neighborhood close to our daughter's with 3 bedrooms. Katie was very responsive to our needs and questions. The house was in a lovely neighborhood with many walkable places to eat, drink and shop close by. Bonus was having a driveway to park our rented SUV in, since we had lots to carry in and out of. (Katie was away while we were there so not sure if the driveway is always available). The photos were very accurate in describing the residence. It included a mini hide away spot patio, with side door access leading out to 2 outdoor recliners to read and relax in. The back patio was completely enclosed and private with a little vegetable garden, chairs, umbrella table, as well as gas and charcoal bar b q. Lovely place to have meals or sit out at night to talk under the twinkle lights. The kitchen had a great flow to it with large counter in front of the stove to use for buffets and side counters with cupboards that allowed great space for cooking and eating together. We prepared most of our meals, thanks to a wonderful stove, that included a cast iron base for making grilled cheese sandwiches or french toast, refrigerator, auto ice maker, and dual microwave and toaster oven. There were also 2 growlers we used to fill with wonderful craft beer from the Tin Cup, and (above the stove cupboard), a large crock pot and George Foreman grill). A complimentary spice rack was helpful for adding special touches to our meals. 2 ceiling fans, and 2 floor fans helped to keep the temperature very comfortable, as well as AC. Appreciated the battery operated candles to add to the magic of the evenings together. The 3 bedrooms were spacious and beds very comfortable. Extra sheets and plenty of extra sheets, if needed. They Included lots of closet space, a valet for suitcases, a chair, and Ikea storage for personal items. We had a total of 10 suitcases amongst the 5 of us, so appreciated having the space to unpack for the week and organize, as well as tuck the suitcases away. In the entry way there was a large wardrobe closet that held afghans, a place to hang coats and additional items like umbrellas. Slippers by the door appreciated. Living room had great fireplace, large screen TV with Netflex and 2 sofas. A few games, books and magazines available as well as a notebook with maps and Portland info. Open to dining room which had buffet for more serving and storage, room for 6 around glass dining room table. Felt very warm, spacious and comfortable. This house felt like we were truly Katie's guests. Because she created this home away from home for us, it made...
