Wow! Leighann and Mark’s guest house have our hearts! We were blown away by what a beautiful space they’ve created. The house feels so spacious with all the light streaming in through the tall windows. We realized right away that everything inside the house has been put there with thought and care. Leighann’s approach to design is wonderfully intentional and so cozy, from the art on the walls, to the books on display, and the basket of slippers by the door. We were truly made to feel at home. We had planned on eating out for all of our meals, but loved the house and the kitchen so much that we ended up buying groceries and having a few cozy dinners in.
Although not super close to the downtown area, we thought the guest house was such a great base for exploring the whole city and surrounding areas. We really enjoyed being in a quiet residential neighborhood. It gives you a good idea of what it’s actually like to live in Portland. We also ended up renting a car during our stay, and highly recommend it, especially if you plan on seeing waterfalls or the coast, which are easy to drive to.
At the house there is also a binder full of Leighann and Mark’s recommendations, and what a great resource it was! They also provided plenty of brochures to help us get around.
We truly can’t say enough great things about the guest house! It was an absolute pleasure to stay there and we honestly can’t wait to go back!
