I am local to the Portland area, but was in need of a quiet space to work on some 2020 finding requests. My current dwelling wasn't going to be conducive to my task at hand. I messaged Kate as I was 20 feet away approaching and she was on the porch by the time I got there. The house is just charming and of a style of days long gone. It just exudes character and history in every corner. My guest room I had specifically chosen because it had no TV or distractions. I entered with my laptop and emerged victorious in my mission the next day. The pantry/eating nook for the 2 guest rooms was a pleasant surprise as well. Fresh fruit, yogurt, holiday goodies, half & half amongst other items. The bed itself is very comfortable and I racked out easily. The room is very cozy comfortable with many thoughtful touches. Her 2 dogs are absolutely sweethearts as well. Kate as host is fabulous. She showed me around and explained various intricacies of the house and then that was that. She's there if you need her, but very respectful of privacy.
