Emily has created a lovely and luxurious retreat, with thoughtful amenities and beautifully crafted workmanship. Every comfort has been considered. The Oculus House is a perfect stay-cation if you want a quick escape from Portland, or a great jumping-off point to explore if you're from out of town. There are fun restaurants and shops within walking distance (but the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful) and the hiking trails of Forest Park are just across the bridge. We enjoyed every moment of our stay at the Oculus House.
