A beautiful place in the forest, with superb amenities throughout the rental. In the city AND in the country, with interesting wildlife, quiet, and great views. Nice hosts and many fun things to do, in a well maintained downstairs apartment with full access to a gorgeous deck and large backyard. Comfortable and cozy, yet spacious. The hosts were welcoming when we arrived and then we had the backyard to ourselves to enjoy. We loved it and hope to vacation there again.

What a great place and people! This is one of the more top notch places I have stayed in terms of the people hosting it. They definitely know what they are doing. The forethought put into the amenities is probably the best out of all the places I have stayed over the years. I come to Portland often to see my kids and sometimes get a VRBO. Billy was just a text away for anything we needed and super quick response. This place will be my first choice from now on.

We were so happy with our accommodations at The Owl’s Nest. Billy and Carol could not have been more welcoming or more thorough in every detail of our stay. We really appreciated the thoroughly stocked kitchen, and the many forms of entertainment for our 9 year old, including board games, darts, corn hole, and her personal favorite, the rope swing! We definitely plan on staying here again for our next visit to Portland!

Idyllic Oasis of Calm

Billy and Carol (and their family) are wonderful people who graciously share their beautiful home and property with visitors. The location is perfect; quiet and peaceful yet close to shopping and activities. The space is creatively/artistically furnished and ultra well-stocked with all the comforts of your own home (plus more!). Clean and comfortable...it was very tough to leave.

This property is cute, comfy, homey, relaxing and tucked away for privacy, while being close enough to pop into the hub of the city. The hot tub is a bonus- very clean.
