We loved the location and felt it was easy to access the things we wanted to do in the city and out. The dedicated parking space was a huge plus. The property is as described and pictured but much more. The space is in a beautiful neighborhood. It was tastefully decorated, clean, quiet, and comfortable with attention to detail. Hiking, shops, and restaurants are close by. Highly recommend!!

What an amazing and peaceful stay! The hosts are a lovely couple who warmly welcomed me upon my arrival. They were very attentive, offering helpful suggestions for restaurants and waterfalls, as well as some homemade, delicious gluten-free English muffin/bread. The home/space exceeded my expectations! It’s situated in a beautiful, artsy community overlooking Portland and close to a great area with loads of cafes and restaurants. The guest level was very tastefully and peacefully decorated with all the little extra touches along with a very comfortable couch and bed with ultra soft sheets/comforter. The extra bonus was the balcony overlooking the trees -- it was like staying in a treehouse! All in all, I give my stay a 10 :)

We loved our stay. Very clean and comfortable for 2-4 guests (if using the extra room.) We particularly enjoyed how peaceful and cool it was on the balcony, even in the heat of July. You feel like you are in a forest yet the city is right there. We will book again for sure!

Great location- with attention to detail

This is a perfect spot to refresh and restore before and after you explore Portland and beyond. This is indeed a Zen retreat - in the hills of NW Portland feels like being in the trees. Includes meditation room with infrared sauna. Easy walk down hill to great restaurants and shops or up hill to Forest park trails.

Great Location, Lovely Apartment

We had an amazing stay at this cute apartment in a lovely Portland neighborhood! We enjoyed waking up each morning and taking in the view of the woods. The space itself was very comfortable and spotlessly clean, making it easy to unwind. Mary and Terry were very welcoming and made us feel at home. Everything was exactly as described (if not better), and you can tell that they really care about creating a welcoming experience. We would absolutely come back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful getaway!

We came to Portland for an alumni event at the University of Portland. Our VRBO stay could not have been better! The host was very welcoming and helpful. The space itself has everything you need to be comfortable and it could not possibly be more clean!! So impressed with this stay we will definitely be back for another stay!

Portland Paradise

The apartment was even better in person than in the pictures. Beautifully appointed with a gorgeous view, it had so many little niceties as well: multi-plug chargers in both bedside end tables, a towel warmer, a few snacks and an incredible Zen meditation room.Mary-Yoko and Terry couldn't have been friendlier and more welcoming. We had tea and croissants with them one morning. They are world travelers who have led very interesting and successful lives. It's at the end of a dead-end street so it's very quiet but still near to the Pearl District. Loved it!

This place is tucked away in the trees making it a delightful little getaway while still being close to all the bustle Portland has to offer. The host really took the time to stock the apartment with all the things you might need with additional thoughtful touches to make it feel cozy. The sauna js a real big perk as well!!

Lovely Zen lodging

We came to Portland to visit our daughter for 7 days. This Zen Retreat VRBO was a fabulous find! Located up windy roads the drive there was lovely. The living area room is spacious with great interior design, lovely furniture, indirect overhead lighting and a compact kitchenette. Spacious lovely bedroom. Great natural light through large windows overlooking one of the many steep oregano forested areas. Attached to these rooms is an incredible, beautiful, authentic Japanese meditation room with an innfrared Saunna to one side of the meditation area. A highly recommended place to stay!

Excellent west side location, very private.

Great west side location, close to Washington Park. Comfortable ground floor 1 bedroom with upscale furnishings and a deck. Felt very private and secluded, perched on a steep hillside. We chose the rental based on its location to Washington Park and its neighborhood. The area has the wired Portland vibe without the accompanying dystopia. Our only problem was arriving late while the hosts were on a vacation - this is a hard place to identify in the dark!
