This was a perfect place to call home for our first trip to Portland. Cozy, warm inviting, and accompanied by an exquisite level of taste in decor. We found their written reccomendations for food extremely helpful. (HELLO Pok Pok for Asian fusion and Salt&Straw for ice cream delight! We can't wait to eat you again!)
The Magic Barn embodies the spirit of Portland, and we spent many a night out on the patio, drinking wine, admiring the lovely sculpture garden, and wishing we could stay longer!
The tiny vintage kitchen is super charming and aesthetically perfect for the space, however -- be forewarned, don't plan on cooking too many meals here. It's just not conducive for that. It's a half-stovetop/oven, very small; and also don't load up on a lot of perishables before arriving, because you will find that the fridge is just dorm-room size. No full-sized fridge, freezer, or ice. There are plates and dishes aplenty, but other than salt and pepper, and a few skillets, you'd need to invest in many of the essentials if you planned to do even the most basic of cooking here.
We brought a can of Pillsbury biscuits to cook for breakfast with our eggs and bacon, but were crestfallen when there was no cookie sheet to bake them on.
All the more reason to get out and explore Portland's brunch spots, right?!

There is an electric kettle for boiling tea, and a french press for making coffee, and there were several wonderful tea bag options provided, as well as some already ground coffee in the fridge. (There is no coffee grinder.)
Also no microwave.
But overall, what a wonderful,beautiful, centrally-located space, and -- if my best friend had not fallen out of the raft on our extreme whitewater adventure, and then subsequently had to be put on crutches for the remainder of our trip -- we might have never even noticed that this place does not, in fact, have a television.
