Steve was wonderful and readily available for any of our questions or just helpful recommendations! Made our stay so much more pleasurable!! We enjoyed 3 meals by their on staff chef. She also did an amazing job. We travel with 17 so needless to say it’s a lot but we had more than enough space for everyone. Also, have to mention the outdoor space was delightful!

The house was absolutely perfect for an elevated 40th birthday "girls weekend" with 14 guests. The bedrooms were spread out so it didn't feel like we were on top of each other, and the living room and backyard were great spaces for the group to gather. The historic touches made the house especially fun and unique. Steve was responsive and thoughtful as a host, for everything from stocking the pantry to troubleshooting during the weekend. It's a great, walkable Portland location. Adding on a private dinner in the "barn" space was truly the icing on the cake!
