Joy was such a welcoming host! My son and I had a great time staying in her lovely home, and I particularly appreciated all the small (and not-so-small!) acts of generosity (I'll just say: Joy is a fabulous cook!).

And the view! You can see it from the photos, but trust me, it's for real. If you're traveling without a car, getting up to the property does require some walking, but the excellent Portland public transportation was only a few minutes' walk, and we used it daily with no problems.
