Melinda’s home is very comfortable, clean, and lovely! She pays plenty of attention to the small things that end up really mattering. Waking up to homemade bread, and peach and pear preserves was wonderful. My favorite was the homemade milk gravy over toast! Southern hospitality! Everything was clean and comfortable, especially the beds! They were fantastic. We will be back! Melinda did a great job of sensing when we needed privacy and when we were open to conversation. We learned a bit about the south and listened to some great Southern Soul! If you are traveling to Portland and want to avoid the cost and disinterested treatment you get at hotels, Melinda’s is your place!
