This guesthouse is absolutely incredible! I hardly know where to start, but let’s just say that whenever my husband and I am in Portland again, this will be our first choice of stay! Here’s a (not exhaustive- I’d run out of characters) list of stand-out details:
1. Cory + Jake wrote a personalized note on this butcher paper block that you see immediately upon entering. It’s a small detail, but it shows that they listen to and care for each person staying at their place!
2. You can turn on a heater in the bathroom, and there was robes available to us! It was so easy to create a spa-like experience when you were getting ready!
3. A washer and dryer is available to you, along with detergent and wool dryer balls! We were so thankful to run a couple of loads while we stayed, which will make laundry upon our return home less daunting.
4. The bed is SO comfy! And there is no shortage of pillows, which I absolutely adored.
5. The kitchen was stoked with all the cooking essentials! We didn’t personally cook there since we had so many Portland restaurants we wanted to try, but every essential spice/oil/vinegar/piece of equipment was available to us! Additionally, there was little snacks, some local brews, coffee, tea, butter- among several other pantry staples!
6. The open living space (kitchen nook, desk area, and living room) were all so cozy! Also, there’s a warning for people who are over a certain height, but my 6’5” husband had zero issues. He just avoided jumping. 😉
7. Jake + Cory communicated with us a perfect amount to ensure that we were comfortable, and made themselves available if we had questions!
8. There’s a link they send you once you book that includes EVERY detail and MORE that you could possibly need while staying at their place (WiFi, check-in / check-out instructions, house rules, restaurant/attraction recommendations, etc.) Everything being digital and in one place was so helpful!
9. The location seemed so central to everything my husband and I wanted to do while we were in Portland!
I am probably missing some notes on other things that we absolutely loved about staying at this guesthouse hosted by Jake + Cory, but overall, I can’t sing high enough praises about it! If you’re deciding between a few places, let this be the review that confirms you forget about any other place you’re currently looking at. ☺️
THANK YOU AGAIN!!
