The mud hut was an interesting experience. My wife and I stayed there for our anniversary. This was the first time either of us had spent any length of time in Portland. I have to say it was certainly a unique experience.

The hut itself was pretty cool. I was impressed with the handiwork of it. My wife was in love with the view, spending quite a bit of time sitting and enjoying the view of the St. Johns bridge.

The hut wasn't so comfortable that we spent all our time there. We got out and explored the city, visiting the Rose Test Garden in Washington Park (among other areas) and sampling the local food.

We discovered later that Portland was experiencing among the worst pollen count in the country during our stay. Despite this (and my wife's sniffles) we had a great time.

Thanks for your hospitality, Ivy!
