Ivy was so lovely and welcoming. It was pretty warm in September, and the mud hut doesn't have any circulation with the windows shut (of course). We didn't sleep much the first night....if anyone has issues with claustrophobia, take that into account before booking. By the second night we learned the you could open the windows, which is our bad! We got some air flow in there, and the weather cooled down...after that we slept great!
Great neighborhood.. quaint, yummy food, drinks and coffee close by.
We were on a biking adventure, and it took us 45-60mins to get to downtown Portland every day. We figured out a pretty route, and we got used to the ride every day. We enjoyed it.
The view of the bridge is great...it was lovely having a night cap in the garden looking out at the bridge.
Thank you Ivy for your hospitality!! It was such a unique experience! I have never stayed in a mud hut in the states....it was very reminiscent of traveling through India and Africa.
