This place is really exactly as described. It was different from anything you will find in other states but that's what makes Oregon Oregon. We didn't get to meet Ivy because they were out of town. The hot tub was awesome. The garden is awesome. If you insist on having A/C, this is not the place for you but it's not advertised as having A/C. It's not close to the MAX. We picked it because we were going to Seaside and would be out of Portland traffic when we left to go. It was a very memorable experience. It felt like upscale camping.
