Ivy was a wonderful host, very accommodating and happy to make us feel at home. I must the the pictures din't really paint an accurate picture of the hut and grounds, fore they far exceeded our expectations. The grounds surrounding the hut we're beautiful and soothing. It was like waking up in a secret garden, nestled away right outside the heart of Portland. Unfortunately we were only able to stay one night but would/will (hopefully) be staying again. Recommend highly!
