The Fox Den was amazing and magical and I would recommend it to anyone looking to stay in Portland.
The hosts - love them! Ashley was extremely responsive and answered questions quickly and with kindness. They were both very accommodating to us, and checking in extremely late at night was no problem for them. Ashley's directions were clear and detailed and included lots of pictures for where to park and how to access the private entrance with arrows and all. Ashley also messaged me to let me know there was so acrobatic dancing going on in the park right next to the house, which got our butts moving to go see it. Don't get me wrong, ashley and Brad were very present but not overbearing at all! She even messaged us to let us know when they were popping into the hallway that lead to the Airbnb space to install some cabinets real quick.
The place: one word: GORGEOUS. Ashley & Brad obviously put a lot of time and care into making the fox den someplace truly special. Ashley definitely has an eye for the small details - I found myself going oh wow look at this, look at this the night when we first got there. My favorite detail was how both sides of the bed had neat little universal charger cables to plug your phone into at night. The most helpful little thing was that there were a couple of extra supplies in the bathroom cabinet - the little tube of toothpaste really saved our butts the first night at midnight when we realized we forgot ours! I was expecting to hear more footsteps etc above us (which I'm not bothered by at all personally, having grown up in the basement under the kitchen with two muuuch younger siblings) but it was actually extremely quiet and we heard literally nothing haha. The space/entrance is private and extremely cozy.
The location: Also awesome. I was originally looking for a place downtown but am VERY glad we ended up going with the Fox Den. The park is RIGHT there and had lots going on. Also the neighborhood itself is gorgeous and was really fun to walk around and explore, lots of little faith houses and art all around. We did end up going downtown for dinner and I feel like if we had only stayed down there we wouldn't have gotten to see a more "real" part of portland. We walked about a half mile north of the fox den to find this really cool strip of stores, restaurants and galleries. We went to "Petite Provence Boulangerie & Patisserie" which is a cute little bakery and restaurant. We waited about 30 mins to be seated for lunch around 1pm on a Saturday and browsed a co-op gallery right across the street that was super inclusive and fun. I would 100% rec you eat there if you have the chance, and make sure you order a fresh croissant because it was TO DIE FOR.
All together we had a wonderful time - was my birthday when we visited and it was probably the best bday I've ever had in my life. We had a blast and the Ashley and Brad at the Fox Den were a big part in making it so magical. You should visit too :-)
