Where to begin? I came with a friend and we had such a lovely stay. Gwen was very thoughtful with all of her personalized touches. She provided gluten-free breakfast items, as well as multiple restaurant recommendations. She also provided personalized maps, as my friend wanted to do some shopping, and wasn't sure where to go for the items she needed. Additionally we had a really wonderful conversations with both Gwen and her husband, who both happen to love the outdoors and all of its offerings. We were grateful to be in Portland on an unusually warm weekend in the spring time. We got to enjoy their beautiful backyard garden area, (as well as the cozy indoor fireplace in the evenings). Even if we've never gotten to spend time outdoors, the indoor space is really lovely and charming. We also got to enjoy their lovely dog, "Freya", who is a real joy. I will definitely return and stay with them again. Highly recommended!
