This was a perfect spot for our anniversary get away. We live in town but wanted to do more than just go for a walk and get takeout to mark the day. And, honestly, we wanted to get away from our teenagers for awhile.
It was all fantastic. The space is open and airy while also being cozy. The back yard was lovely for sipping wine in the evening. There are so many good takeout places within easy walking distance (including the Pix-o-matic!) for just about any craving or dietary choice you might have (we're vegetarian). The kitchen is really well stocked with all kinds of utensils and gadgets (there was even a hand mixer, which I didn't need, but was impressed to find).
We also took a nice stroll to the Lone Fir Pioneer Cemetery which is always nice and I see something new every time.
Being local, I knew there was a lot around here that would make a nice stay, but I also think this is a great place to stay if you're from out of town. So much is walkable and easily accessible from here and it's a very desirable part of Portland to live in.
Something else I really appreciated in COVID times is the self check in. No awkward dodging around each other or mental distance measuring. Laura and Nancy made sure to check in with us that we'd gotten in o.k. and everything was going well. We ended up having a couple of questions during our stay and they were quick to respond. It's also the kind of place with lots of nice, flat, easily cleaned surfaces so I felt very safe and everything was super clean.
I'm honestly already calculating when we might be able to go back for another escape.
