We thoroughly enjoyed our eight-night stay at Kellie's house. The house was clean and kids friendly. Bathroom was full of supplies. Shower pressure was great and it never run out of hot water. My kids (6 & 8) had a good time playing on the big deck in the back of the house.

The kitchen was well stocked. All kinds of spices were available to the guests. After bringing back different berries that we picked from a local farm, we were delighted to find a blender that allowed us to make fresh fruit smoothie every day. We never needed to turn the tv on during our stay as kids and I were occupied by the interesting books on the shelf in our limited spare time in the house. We did quite a few hikes described in the Oregon hiking book.

The location of the house is convenient for exploring Portland and surrounding areas. We visited OMSI, Pittock Mansion, International Rose Testing Garden, Japanese Garden, Lan Su Chinese Garden, The Grotto, Powell's City of Books, Saturday Market and enjoyed day trips to Cannon beach, Mt. Hood, Columbia River Gorge and Silver Falls State Park. Kids loved the sweet treats at VOODOO and Blue Star Donuts. Best of all, we got to spend quality time with good college friends living in the area whom I haven't seen for years and met their kids for the first time. There were so many fun things to do in the area that we wish we could stay longer.

We would highly recommend Kellie's house to anyone visiting the area.
