Great NW Stay

Great property that sits in the woods right on the Sandy River. Quiet and peaceful area that is a great way to get away from the busy city. Excellent communication from host Phil, would definitely stay again!

Wish we could have stayed longer!

We were only able to stay one night, but we wish we could have stayed longer. First, Phil is an incredible communicator - there was an issue beyond his control that he was trying to get fixed prior to our arrival, but he gave a head's up before we got there, communicated throughout, and everything was taken care without impacting our stay. He also responded quickly to inquiries leading up to our stay. This place feels like it's been redone and done really nicely. The beds and pillows are amazing, towels are abundant. The dishes and glasses are of nice quality (noticeably nicer than what we normally see in rentals). The bonus room off the garage has awesome amenities and would have been our kids' hangout if we had stayed longer. There are bikes (and helmets) and chairs and other fun things in the garage that we didn't have a chance to use. The river is a short walk away and my kids enjoyed wading around there. We will definitely come back if we're ever in the area again.
