Quiet location, with many trees surrounding the house. Nearby park to hike. We had very little time to sightseeing as we came to visit on of the high schools there but we had a chance to hike (rainy) Portland Japanese Garden one afternoon, which is about 20 minutes North from the house. Would be nice if the kitchen had an electric oven or stove. Overall - a warm, clean and spacious place to stay at. My son got lost in the books and board games offered by Wendy and David. Great selection for the whole family!
