Hi Dane,
Thank you so much for your kind review and thoughtful words! It was an absolute pleasure hosting you and your family.
We really appreciate your support and would love to welcome you back if your travels bring you to the Pacific Northwest again.
Warmly,
Doreen & Nick 😊
The location and the house were perfect and the hosts were the best hosts I have ever met. This property will forever be my top choice anytime I have to travel to WA.
Nick and Doreen work tirelessly to make the stay amazing! We were in Edgewood for my daughter's wedding, and having an incredible home to stay in enhanced an already great trip. The house was beautiful, and the neighborhood was quiet. It was cozy and impeccably clean! We knew a little about Washington, but Nick and Doreen offered us some advice to improve our visit. I would definitely recommend staying in this house!
We absolutely loved this home. So comfortable and every attention given to detail. The hosts were really great, friendly and warm people. The home is situated on a beautiful piece of property with so much room to roam and play. It slept seven of us, including 3 young children most comfortably. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything to put together a lovely family meal. The rooms were beautiful and most comfortable. A very peaceful place. Everything about this property is top notch. I give the hosts and their property the highest recommendation. The picture I’ve included is the backyard in the early morning. Beautiful!

The property was just as described and fully fit our needs. The few steps made it accommodating for the grandparents who stayed as well. The beds were comfortable, the linens wer amazing, the kitchen had everything we needed, and we loved the outdoor space! We were there for my daughter's wedding and there was space in the garage for storing ALL of the flowers! Doreen and Nick were very helpful and accommodating with our questions and anything we needed! Highly recommend!
I absolutley love this property! The owners are some of the nicest people you could ever meet and the house is so cozy, clean and comfortable! We will definately be staying here again when we can.

Hello Jennifer...
We are so glad that you loved our home and are happy it worked out for you and your family get together. Please come see us again in the future and thanks again for choosing Forest Grove.

Doreen & Nick
This property was as advertised. Clean, quiet, comfortable. There was nothing lacking and if there was, the owner would have been sure to take care of it. Owners were very friendly and thorough through the check-in process and genuinely wanted to make sure that everything was perfect for our stay.
This house worked great for our reason of visiting. Right amount of space and not too far from where we needed to be. Beautiful property. Would highly recommend.

Angela and her family were lovely guests and we would gladly welcome them back to our home! Communication, cleanliness and overall attention to our house guide were perfect... we would highly recommend them to other hosts!
My stay here was phenomenal. Doreen and Nick were lovely hosts, they met us at the house at check in to make sure we had everything we needed. 10/10 will stay here again next time I’m in town!
Nick and Doreen were the best hosts I’ve ever had the pleasure of communicating with during our stay. The home was beautiful and was well stocked with linens, towels and kitchen supplies! I recommend this home to all groups, small or large, young and old!
Nick and Doreen are very welcoming and their property is unmatched. Clean and comfortable and located near great restaurants and attractions. We’ll be back.
This is a beautiful home that met all of our needs, the yard, landscape and flowers are a work of art! Quiet neighborhood but very accessible. We used this as a home base for day trips but could have just stayed and enjoyed the quiet and beautiful yard and hummingbirds. We would stay here again!
Doreen and Nick are perfects hosts of a idyllic property with everything you need for a multigenerational visit. The kitchen is well stocked and we enjoyed our mornings chatting in the living room while doing a puzzle. You will not regret renting this house.
We came for our daughters wedding at Farm 12. The house and property are just as advertised, simply beautiful. Doreen and Nick were great hosts and the house was filled with all the amenities we needed. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Jennifer… It was a pleasure meeting you and your family and we are so happy our home met all your needs! Thank you again for choosing Forest Grove and please come see us again in the future!
This house was a dream. We always travel with a bag of supplies because we cook every meal. This is the first house we've stayed in that we didn't need those supplies (scissors, dish rags, tongs, stain remover spray, air fryer, etc). Plenty of space in the house lead to fun times for my granddaughter (there's a small tote of kid things & we found some books as well). The backyard is beautiful with bunnies and hummingbirds daily. Doreen & Nick are the most welcoming hosts we've come across. They had great recommendations for us when we asked. No hoarding of towels from them either. We had an abundance to use at our lesiure. Garage parking included. Quiet area. No issues what so ever. We definitely recommend staying with Doreen & Nick!

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! We’re truly honored to hear that our home met your needs so well—especially since you usually travel fully prepared! It’s wonderful to know the little details, like having kitchen essentials and kid-friendly touches, made your stay more comfortable and enjoyable. We’re so happy your granddaughter had fun, and that you enjoyed the peaceful backyard wildlife too—those hummingbirds and bunnies are favorites of ours as well.
It was a pleasure hosting you, and your appreciation means the world to us. Thank you for treating our home with such care. You’re welcome back anytime!
Warmly,
Doreen & Nick
The property was perfect for our family. We came from multiple states just for the weekend for a wedding. The property was clean & spacious. The host were amazing! We only wished we could of spent more time at the property.
Our family came to the area for a wedding and had a great stay at this home. It was an absolutely beautiful and relaxing place to stay. We enjoyed having our morning coffee on the patio while watching hummingbirds in the shrubs around us. Doreen and Nick were wonderful to work with, very friendly and accommodating. We look forward to returning to Forest Grove for another vacation in the future.

Immaculate, well appointed, private, pastoral-fitting for our family’s visit to the NW.
We have been frequent VRBO customers with varied experiences. This property and owners have set a new high bar!
Very clean, good location for us, and they had EVERYTHING we needed or wanted for our stay, right down to the coffee in the morning, and fans for sleeping comfort. They also made sure that if we needed anything else, to let them know.
