BEST PLACE I’VE EVER STAYED: Oh my goodness, where do I even begin! My stay at Tim’s beautiful home was absolutely incredible for so many reasons! Overall I had such an amazing time at this beautiful, peaceful home and left feeling rejuvenated, happy, fulfilled and connected. SO WORTH THE STAY!
Location: The home sits on a HUGE property right on the river with a beautiful lawn, blackberry bushes, blueberries, historical white oak trees and so much more amazing vegetation. The home itself is truly unique and like no other! There are also no homes or buildings to the left of this property, which was very cool, and so nice to have so much nature and space around us! The views of the river and the forest across the river are absolutely stunning! I would go stay here again just for the views alone. The home is also walking distance to so many fun restaurants, shops, bars, food carts etc. You will not be bored. What I loved most is you can either stay on the property and feel like you are so far away from any people or businesses OR you can walk right into town and be in the mix of fun things and people.
The Host (Tim): Hands down, the best air B&B host I’ve ever had!!! Tim was so incredible accommodating, thoughtful and generous. He brought us fresh flowers from the garden and even BBQed some of the veggies from the garden for appetizers one evening - so sweet! He also knew all the fun, happening things to go do in St. Johns and showed us all the awesome, local spots to explore. He pretty much delivered on EVERYTHING I asked for. I can’t say enough good things about Tim. He clearly puts so much love and care into this one-of-a-kind property and home. It was so fun to get to know him as well!
Environment: I was looking for a quiet, calm place to rejuvenate and write (for my coaching business) and this was a perfect place to do it! It was so peaceful and quiet. I felt like I was on an amazing getaway somewhere in Europe. The property is seriously SO amazing! I was also BLOWN AWAY at how CLEAN the place was. I think there were something like 8 different rooms on the floor I stayed in and everything was immaculate! I am also very sensitive to smell, and although the home was build in 1910, it did not smell like an old home at all. It was all very fresh and clean.
Inside: I loved the vintage furniture that decorated the home. The beds were also SO comfortable. I slept like a baby. There was AC and heat, depending on what time of year you are going. Every room was comfortably and cozy.
A HUGEEEE thank you to Tim for reinventing and updating this absolutely extraordinary home and making it available for Air B&B-ers to stay - if you want a unique experience and comfortable stay in a great part of North Portland - do not miss your opportunity to stay at this place! :)
