The "Old Barn" in the woods. Peace, Romance, Ahhh

"Best Property I've ever been to."

"The location is unbelievable, like a mountain retreat in town!"
Recent Guest on other platforms

The "Old Barn" is a gem just minutes from downtown. You will feel as if you are in a forest yet, minutes away, is the best of Portland. It's all at your fingertips. Yet, you might not want to leave the "Old Barn." The NEW door code is 2215.

The space
The old barn is incredibly unique in its location and eclectic, creative Decor. It is nestled in the woods yet ten minutes to downtown Portland, Nike headquarters, the Rosegarden, the Japanese gardens, hiking at the Arboretum and Council Crest and so much more. You will wake to the sound of birds chirping, and the view from the deck is enchanting. Keep an eye out for the owls, eagles, deer, coyotes, flying squirrels, and elephants - Okay, there are no elephants :-) The master bed is as good as they come. It's a king with a remote that lifts the head or the feet and it has a massage option. There is also a foot massager next to a desk.

Guest access
You will have access to all of the old barn including the wonderful outside deck and hot tub, exclusively for you! It's very private. The back area, down the hill about 500 feet away, has another unit on it and is reserved for those guests only. Please DO NOT WANDER OFF. There are neighbors nearby, though you can't see them. Thanks for understanding.

Other things to note
Please rinse off before using the hot tub; only touch the blue "spinning" button to turn on and off the jets. The controls are very sensitive and can accidentally turn it off. Do not hot tub alone. Do not use alcohol or other drugs while in the hot tub. Do not exceed 15 minutes in the hot tub.

There is a one-time $58 charge for each pet. Pets MUST be leashed when out of the unit.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a dryer, a fireplace, and an ironing board.

Secluded location just miles from Portland. Quirky place with tons of charm and positive energy. Comfortable bed and lovely upper deck with great view. Kitchen could use more counter space and a proper oven if you’re planning to do any cooking but overall we enjoyed it!

Super great spot

I liked the place. Was a super private place in the woods. Quiet and relaxing. Inside stairs were super steep but it was fine. Just don't get super drunk or high before you climb them and use the outside stairs if you feel it's safer. Had a wonderful time while on vacation in the Portland area

Nice location for a book retreat..

Yes the review about noises in the wall upstairs is true, but didn't bother us.. we had a good time.. my only suggestion would be a tension rod and curtain or blinds in the big open bathroom window to help make the girls more comfortable.

Critters living in the ceiling and walls

We arrived Tuesday night of Thanksgiving week and our initial impression was positive in that the place was quiet, the interior was clean and the bed was comfortable. Wednesday morning I got a good look at the exterior and the back patio area shelving that is filled bottom to top with garbage, rusty old tools, single shoes, spilled cigarette ashcans, etc. Honestly we'd shrug this off and consider it part of the funky vibe, but with the addition of squirrels, opossum, or raccoons living in the ceiling it feels pertinent. More on that...we were kept up every night by loud scurrying and scratching in the ceiling and wall directly above our heads. The bedroom is in the attic space so the ceiling is directly above your head. This was disturbing to say the least. We tried to deal with it, but it proved to impact our sleep and my wife was, more than a little, freaked out. We tried to sleep downstairs on the air mattress that is mentioned in the listing and found that there were no sheets or blankets that fit it. There were some twin sheets that were literally balled up in a corner of a closet.We called Peter, the manager, after we got home to let him know the issues. He apologized and let us know that he was aware of the animal problem and basically told us there was nothing he could do about it. I can deal with quirky and even recognize the randomness of animal infestations. I can't accept being rented a property with a known issue that has such a big impact.

Yikes! Mice in the walls

It was a beautiful setting in the woods, but sadly the pillow smelled like urine and there were mice running in the wall right behind our heads in bed and kept me up. Yuck.
