The Owl's Nest is a great place to stay in a quiet pretty corner of Sellwood. It is a short walk to the riverside along the Spring Water bike trail. It is close to New Seasons Market, a great place for shopping, as well as Grand Central Bakery and some nice restaurants. It's also easy to get to the main commercial area of Sellwood/Westmoreland by foot or by car.
The place is cozy and clean. There is plenty of space in the downstairs living area, and the wall heater keeps the place nice and warm. The kitchen is well provisioned with a good stove and fridge, plus microwave. The upstairs bedroom was spacious with a comfortable bed. The attached bathroom has a great shower with river rocks set into the floor, giving you a foot massage while you shower.
John is an excellent host. He was responsive to questions and a couple of requests. He gives great instructions for everything in the place. He and his wife are great readers, and they've equipped their guest house with a really good selection of books.
Owl's Nest is a perfect place to stay in Sellwood. My wife and I would love to stay there again.
