General overview
*Looking for Porto, Barcelona and maybe a few days in France in August of 2025.* Have a globe or can discuss sim or nonsim.
The perfect central base for all of your Pacific Northwest explorations, our home is located in a quiet, safe, friendly community and an easy, approx. half-hour drive to Portland, with all of its shopping, nightlife, art and cultural opportunities. We are also at the gateway to Oregon wine country, famous for its Pinot Noir and home to dozens of wineries. A 1.5-hour drive southwest brings you to the beach with its gorgeous coastline, kite shops and quaint restaurants, while a 1-hour drive east takes you to the ski slopes of Mt. Hood or the waterfalls of the Columbia Gorge. Take a morning walk to our small town coffeehouse, or try one of several charming restaurants and wine shops. Bring the kids to the public library (and the donut shop next door). On a sunny day, dip your toes into the water fountain or enjoy one of several neighborhood parks and playgrounds. On the outskirts of town, you’ll find all the bigger shopping and essentials you need.
The space
Ours is a comfortable family home with a large great room and dining table that seats 6 (and we have extra folding chairs if you need more). The great room features large picture windows and has a sofa and loveseat and TV with Xbox and Netflix, Amazon Prime and more.
Upstairs you'll find the bedrooms. The master bedroom has a king bed and en suite bathroom with an updated tiled tub/shower combo. There is another full bath with tub for kids. The guest bedroom has a full size bed. If needed, our son's room offers an additional twin bed. We also have an inflatable Aerobed that can sleep two people if you need another bed.
A washer and dryer are available for your use, with laundry soap and dryer sheets provided.
We have a large outdoor patio with plenty of seating including a fire pit table, plus a grassy backyard perfect for playing or relaxing with a glass of local wine or one of Portland's famous microbrews.
Guest access
Minimal entry steps to front door. There is one flight of stairs to the second level.
Notes
We do have three cats that are indoors only. They are easy maintenance but we will ask that you give them food and water and are careful to keep them inside the home.
We also have a dog (mellow 6 year old black lab) that we may like to bring with us on our travels but if we can’t then she can stay with family or at a boarding home.
Sorry, but no smoking or vaping of any substance in or around the house.
