The home was very comfortable for my family of 4. The beds were cosy, the furniture well laid out, and the house/neighborhood was peaceful. 10/10 would stay there again.
A comfortable and spacious stay that allowed us to have a homebase while we explored the area, including the Oregon zoo and a comedy show. Great communication, as well as not too many tchotchkes that my kids could knock over. The driveway was steep as advertised, but it didnât present any kind of problem for us. Easy to get up!
Stayed two nights to break up a trip with my sons to a Marinerâs game. The driveway is very steep. Iâm glad we drove the car because my truck would not have fit under the carport and would have had to park on the street which wouldnât be ideal. If you have any mobility issues this property is not a good fit given the steep climb and the bathrooms are very small. It met our needs and for the price was adequate. The reviews are fairly accurate, just surprised nobody mentioned the driveway and steepness to the house. Great communication with the host. Good location. Cute little bungalow.
The property itself was clean. Everything worked. We enjoyed our stay. The only thing is the driveway is a bit steep and a little scary to back down. But we knew about it before we arrived. We were very happy that the heat worked as it got quite cold on our trip and it was a great location and very convenient for our stay. The host communicated well and we had a good trip.
This was a cute bungalow. House was clean, the back yard was great for the dog. Near lots of things and we found some walking trails nearby. Would definitely stay again.
I wrote to the owner with my laundry list of disbelief about his property yesterday, and he didn't respond back with an apology or acknowledgement, so I'll write the review. The house had ants throughout the kitchen and the bed in the back bedroom where I stayed. The ants were looking for water (and food). We kept all our food in the fridge. Any food on the counter was ravaged. The house has had updates, but it is far more rustic and DIY than photos show. The driveway parking is steep, dangerous and barely accessible. The street parking is also inadequate and difficult to maneuver into. The neighborhood is unattractive and not vacation worthy. The backyard butts up against an apartment building with tenants' windows looking into the backyard. There were no mirrors or nightstand lamps in two bedrooms, so no reading when getting in bed and no ability to get ready for the day without heading to the mirror in the living room. The bathroom is the size of a postage stamp with inadequate shelving. The toilet seat is your option. In the summer, they put in large loud blowers vented out the windows. Because they're vented out the windows, you can hear I-5 and Main Street traffic roaring by. There are not screens or window coverings on some key windows for privacy and ventilation. I'd like to say the price is right for what you get, but my family and I were not comfortable there no matter the price.
This was a lovely house with everything you need supplied. The kitchen is more than adequate for preparing meals. The best part of this house is the huge fenced backyard and the mid 20th century architecture. It's very close to the freeway so getting around town and into Portland was super easy. I would definitely come back if I'm ever in the area.
Perfect for visiting family in the area for the holidays
We loved our stay. Being located right off of I-5 and a great neighborhood to walk our dogs in up the hill from the place. The fenced back yard was also great. Very comfortable beds.
Limited cooking utensils for someone who cooks. Found it difficult to make a meal for a large family with the small pots and pans provided. A majority of the French is falling down, was held up by large stumps and, we found, so corn hole bistds that we thought were for our use. Nope they were holding boards in place. Our dog could have escaped. Lawn was dead. Otherwise home was nice and clean
This house was a perfect spot for our large family! The location is fantastic - close to the freeway, grocery store, and gas station. As has been mentioned by others, the driveway is quite steep, but definitely doable. Colin was very responsive and was an excellent host. Although the home does not have central air conditioning, there were three portable units which were essential and cooled the entire home really well! The fenced backyard was perfect for our pup and the back outdoor area has lights, a large patio table, and a gas fire area. We had a great stay!
