Kelsey and Quentin's special place, Owl Creek Retreat, is a welcome departure from hotels. You will find an enchanting setting in the middle of a small forest on a residential street where every window has a forested view. For nature lovers like ourselves, the setting was sublime and breathtaking. Birdsong is abundant and can be your morning alarm. The kind and very responsive hosts are so thoughtful in providing everything needed for a relaxing stay. First, a well-equipped kitchen made cooking a breakfast on the stove top two-burner cooktop pleasant and easy. We had everything we needed; pots and pans, plates, cutlery, tea kettle, oils, spices, condiments, and much more. The very upscale queen mattress in the master is the most comfortable I have ever slept in-
it's better than my own! My son slept on the bed in the pull-out couch, which had an incredible mattress as well. The decor and bookshelf items and prints are interesting and enjoyable with vintage touches throughout the space. It's important to note to walk slowly on the stepping stones embedded in the grassy incline on the lighted path leading to the apartment. There are also three steps up to a small deck where you enter the space. This may affect some people with mobility challenges. Additionally, an inviting living room awaits you when you enter. The living room light is on the bookcase wall. Additionally, there is an Apple TV and nice-sized screen, however we visited family most of the time and didn't use it. The bathroom is a nice size and has a powerful shower head—a very appreciated feature. The apartment is exceptionally clean and so far, this retreat has been my favorite airbnb in Portland. I would absolutely stay here again and look forward
to our next visit to the Pacific NW. Thanks for making our stay so enjoyable!
