Lovely home for a trip with family & friends
Kathryn’s charming home is very spacious for a group of up to 8 people. The dining areas are excellent for family meals, & the kitchen equipment is fully stocked. Both outdoor seating areas are idyllic, especially the covered front porch with rocking chairs. Great views of Mt. Adams & watching pear harvest taking place next door. The host keeps the grounds beautifully maintained, the towels & bedding are quite luxurious, & there is plenty of space with mudroom / sunroom / 2 sitting rooms / 2 large bathrooms & 4 large bedrooms. We were never crowded – multiple people needed to do some remote working here or there throughout our stay, & we could each find our own corners to take calls & get things done in the mornings. It left the rest of our day open to explore the best of PNW’s outdoors – whether driving a short distance to take in a beautiful hike up at elevation on Mt. Hood or hiking toward a stunning waterfall, doing wind sports downtown in the gorge, fishing on the Deschutes, or taking the local railbike excursion to fruit orchards & vineyards. Quick drive to town & restaurants. Quiet, safe, residential area set in nature. Very clean, well-appointed, & comfortable home. Kathryn is such an gracious & responsive host. She was very helpful & kind with any of our questions while we were preparing in advance for a longer stay. We really appreciated her hospitality, & we would love to return with a group of this size again. Look no further, this is your private & peaceful spot.
