Our stay at Kowkie's was a great getaway. The house is a larger then expected for the neighborhood. The plot is also larger then most I've seen in Portland. Kowkie has a beautiful garden with chickens in the back. He brought us fresh eggs for breakfast. Communication was great and he even called to make sure we were out so we wouldn't be bothered by him moving the lawn . He left us a bottle of wine and good coffee. There were fresh towels, robes, full toiletries and flip flops. We hope to stay here next time we visit Portland.
