I just got home from a stay at the Purple House and I already want to go back!
My mom and I were on a mother-daughter trip and spent 3 days in Portland. I'm so glad we stayed here for our first visit to the area! Rachel and Bob were the perfect hosts from the time of booking to when we checked out. Their hospitality and positive energy made us feel welcome and comfortable as soon as we arrived.
The space is homey, spacious and of course, purple! There were so many nice amenities and personal touches, including toiletries, radio/stereo system, welcome wine, cheese and crackers, and personalized post cards. Rachel and Bob gave us so many great tips on where to visit and what to do, it was nice to chatting with them at the beginning/end of our days (don't hesitate to call/text them for help with anything during your stay). The location is perfect, it's in a nice neighborhood, walking distance to a coffee shop and only a short drive to downtown. I wish we could have stayed longer. We could have spent a entire day just enjoying the house. We didn't get a chance to try any of the instruments or sip wine on the deck. I will just have to plan another trip.
By the time we left we felt like we had made new friends/family and we were sad to say good-bye. I will definitely stay with Rachel and Bob again when I'm back in Portland and highly recommend the Purple House to anyone!
