My husband and I were looking for something very special and very last minute to celebrate our 11th anniversary and first time away without kiddo in possibly over 2 years. I searched for hours and lucked upon the Zen retreat. The photos and description seemed too good to be true but I took my chances.
Everything, from check in to the lux robes and heated tiles in the bathroom, was perfect and then some! I travel a great deal for my job and for fun and I always can find something that is missing or that would make my stay better (I'm very picky). But there is nothing I can say, it was all so well thought out, a true industry professional thought of all the things you could want and need in a relaxing, luxurious (yet not overpriced) experience.
The garden space is gorgeous, peaceful and relaxing. The soaking tub was the perfect spot to connect and talk about the day. And the living space was quiet and cozy. You wouldn't even know that you were on the same property as the owners. But I am so glad we were, it was great chatting with the hosts and getting recommendations for meals and walks.
The neighborhood is lovely to walk around and great food and coffee are about a 1/3 mile away. I would definitely and would recommend this listing to anyone looking for a unique, cozy, "treat yourself" getaway in Portland.
