We had a lovely time at the Feathered Nest; Portland is a favorite travel spot for us, so after having gotten frustrated with finding listing after listing specifying "no kids under 10", we found this one. Melanie and Dorothy were great hosts, and their little house was fully functional as a getaway for a family. We cooked most nights in the kitchen; there were two tables to eat at, which was useful since my toddlers weren't tall enough for the dining table, and there were enough beds and blankets to sleep an army. At one point during our stay, I realized there was no washer/dryer access, which might be a problem for a family staying longer than our four days, but it was a very, very small blip on the radar of our trip. I would definitely recommend running the fan at night, as the neighbors like to talk well into the wee hours, but the neighbors themselves are very nice and the neighborhood is very close to the city for an easy commute. We went for donuts and had zero problems getting there at what should have still been rush hour on a Wednesday morning. I would definitely come back if they would have us, and I wish our hosts the best!
