A beautiful bouquet of roses fresh from the garden greeted us on our arrival at the Alberta Arts House. The house was perfect for our group of five women, with plenty of room both inside and out to relax and visit.
The four bedrooms and two baths were exactly as described and the nightlights in the hallway were a very thoughtful touch when navigating at night.
The kitchen was spacious and well equipped and the living room sectional sofa and chair were very comfortable. The view of the side garden from the window seat was lovely. All of the gardens were beautiful and we enjoyed the back yard patio.
The neighborhood was wonderful, too. A short half block away were restaurants, shops and a local co-op market. The Tin Shed (Restaurant) was excellent and Salt and Straw ice cream was a real treat.
The day before we left, Amy dropped off a luscious chocolate bundt cake and a bottle of wine which we all enjoyed.
Our trip to Portland was quite memorable and the Alberta Arts House was the perfect home away from home!
