We had fun staying at Ivy's "mud hut". Initially we were planning to arrive earlier in the evening, but work and traffic got in the way, and by the time we got there it was 10pm. Ivy pushed back her plans of going out that evening with her friend who was visiting town so that she could greet us and show us around, which I was very grateful of because I did not have to explore my way finding the hut in the dark. The mud hut is tucked away around the garden, not visible from the street, so we had lots of privacy. Ivy had lit candles for us in the mud hut and we were so ready to just crash for the night after hours of driving and were glad to sleep in such a cute, cozy little space.
There is outdoor kitchen for guests to use, raspberries were ripe on the bushes, we enjoyed having a nice view of the bridges, and the overall ambience of the space. We had to hit the road early to drive to California and could not stay long enough to spend more time with Ivy which I would have liked to do, but we look forward to coming back next time we are in Portland and need a place to stay.
