I had a wonderful stay. It was as if I was spending the night with family rather than in a cold impersonal nondescript hotel. Since I've visited Portland in the past, had come to see family, and life has been hectic as of late; I was seeking more of a retreat than a touring experience. This provided it. Sally and Jake's home and gardens were a beautiful encapsulation of the Portland experience and lifestyle. Artful arrangements of antiques and collectibles within the warmth of their charming restored farmhouse chased the chill of fall away. Accommodations were thought out with care. Fresh flowers greeted me at the entrance, the space was clean, the bed was comfortable, extra blankets and a robe were available, books were there to read, the stone floors in the bath were heated, and Sally kindly offered tea. I even had a private patio. Also, it was close enough to be able to walk into Multnomah village for coffee, antiquing, book shopping at Annie Bloom's, and knitting supplies at Northwest Wools (Portland's oldest knitting store). Downtown Portland was only a few miles away, so visiting a museum was an easy drive... as would have been so many of Portland's treasures if desired. I would highly recommend this stay.
