Kate communicated well with us and arranged to have us check in when something came up. Her home is lovely and in great proximity to Trader Joe’s and Reed college. We had no personal business at Reed but heard about the rhododendron gardens which were spectacular (early May) Kate’s upstairs was sooo comfortable, clean and well appointed. She has tremendous attn to detail. Her breakfast room was so nice, including a large vase of lilacs and homemade banana bread, kurig with tea and coffee and a small fridge for guests convenience. The shower with multiple heads is awesome! Thanks Kate for tips on traveling the gorge we’ve had a great time. I would defn come back to stay with Kate!
