We were a group of 7 adults attending the 4 Days of Aloha 2026 at Esther Short Park. The accommodations were perfect. Everyone had their own space. The common areas were great. There were so many activities available in the home for all ages and the treats throughout the house were very much appreciated. The kitchen was fully stocked with anything we needed.We hope to be back again to explore the neighborhood in this great location.

Cute house just north of Portland. We stayed for a week and had everything we needed between going out for site seeing and competing at fencing nationals. Clean safe and homey.
