We loved staying at the woodland garden retreat! Arlene was a welcoming and gracious host - she made us feel at home without intruding on our privacy. We had a lot of space for our 15 month old to run around, and Arlene provided a pack n play, highchair and age appropriate toys, which was FABULOUS! We loved sitting out in the garden on sunny afternoons, watching the chickens and eating fresh veggies. The breakfast provided was delicious - quinoa bagels, pastries and freshly picked tomatoes and arugula. I felt like we got the quintessential Portland experience and we would definitely stay with Arlene again. The only drawback was the layout - the bathroom is down the hall and around a corner from the bedroom, which was a little tough late at night. But for us, that was a small price to pay for a wonderful host, beautiful garden, good food and location close to friends. Thank you Arlene!!!
