This place was fantastic! The room was clean, spacious, and bright, and the hosts were very welcoming. Even though the building is technically in their backyard it felt very private, since it was elevated and faced away from the main house and towards the backyard. It is also just a short ride to downtown Portland and was a perfect location for going out to see the city, then coming back to relax in the evening before heading back out for dinner. I would definitely love to stay here again! My only caveat is that the highway behind the trees could be a problem for light sleepers. We were woken up by some extremely loud motorcycles in the middle of the night, but otherwise it wasn't a problem for us.
