This is a lovely place on a quiet dead-end street surrounded by a nature preserve but very close to town (10 minute drive) and a 15 minute walk to a bus stop that takes you downtown. There are nearby hiking trails through the nature preserve that take you up to Council Crest for magnificent views of Portland and the Cascade peaks. The bedrooms are spacious, there is a nice den area with small refrigerator, microwave and coffeemaker and views from the windows are of the surrounding forest. Everything was immaculate and in good repair. The hosts are very friendly, accommodating, responsive and easy to deal with. I would not hesitate to rent this wonderful place again.
