Joelle and James have a natural, welcoming home in SE portland near Hawthorne. We arrived late due to a delayed flight and they warmly showed us around. The vegan carrot cake (delicious) was freshly baked on the counter. The guest house in the back garden was an ideal spot for 2 with ample privacy. Even in early winter, the garden was a lush space to relax and reflect. The tub was tempting but the dusting of snow deterred an outside scrub. Joelle was quite helpful with information about the area and the room was well-stocked with guides and maps. The one warning about the space is the bathroom is in the house. If you need to make regular trips at night or it is a bit chilly, then beware of the location. Their home was always open for us to use. It was charming with a lot of exposed wood and nice finishes. Enjoy your stay!
