I would like to share my view on things that I find helpful when booking an Air bnb. Communication with Kathryn was on point. She was very helpful and available when we needed her. The neighborhood is quite and we felt safe getting to the property. We appreciated the secured parking lot. One of our senses that rarely are mentioned in a review is smell. The outdoor air quality is good (no fishy smells) and the inside of this unique getaway is clean, refreshing; not offensive. Everything on this houseboat is as seen. It is charming, quaint, and clean. As our trip was approaching, my husband was becoming more & more excited about the unique lodging than of the plans we had while in the Portland area. The houseboat did not disappoint. The bed is very comfortable. Think of it as Grandma’s feathered bed! The space was perfect for the two of us for this weekend retreat. We had the opportunity to enjoy a beverage on the deck in the sun. I wish we had more time to take the kayaks out on the water; perhaps next visit. The only slight negative, which is completely out of the owner’s control, is that the houseboat sits under the flight pattern of the local airport. Don’t let this sway your plans to book, because the planes stop around 11pm and don’t resume again until about 6am. After the first night, you become accustom to the intermittent noise. This would definitely NOT hinder us from staying here again. Thank you, Kathryn for sharing your lovely place.
