An absolutely fantastic stay in Portland! We felt so safe and taken care of and the kids loved the chalk board. It truly felt like more than a vacation rental but more like Bed and Breakfast. Truly adorable and homey and the property was beautiful. Wish we could’ve stayed longer!

Loved this property very much! Very well taken care of and loved. An oasis right in the city. The owners are clearly thoughtful, sweet, joy seeking environmental lovers. The only slightly confusing aspect was communicating with the vrbo “host” and the actual property owners. The “host” was more demanding and far less flexible whereas the actual property owners were delightful and super responsive. If there could be a mainstreamed form of communication (ideally with just the real owners and hosts) rather than with both that would be ideal. Would totally love to visit again at some point! Definitely recommend.

I booked the Owl's nest for my grandson's graduation present. It was his first time visiting Oregon and he LOVED it.The Owl's Nest was the perfect place, with all the amenities provided for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. All the different sitting areas to enjoy the beautiful views. The hot tub was much needed after our hike on the Trail of 10 waterfalls hike.The host/owner Billy was such a pleasure to talk to.If/when we plan another trip to Oregon, we will definitely book again.Thank you, Billy and Carol for sharing.

A beautiful place in the forest, with superb amenities throughout the rental. In the city AND in the country, with interesting wildlife, quiet, and great views. Nice hosts and many fun things to do, in a well maintained downstairs apartment with full access to a gorgeous deck and large backyard. Comfortable and cozy, yet spacious. The hosts were welcoming when we arrived and then we had the backyard to ourselves to enjoy. We loved it and hope to vacation there again.

We had a wonderful stay at the Owls Nest. It is clear that Billy and Carol have put a lot of thought, time and effort to make you feel welcome. Our flight was delayed 3 hours and we didn’t arrive until 1:00 am so we had no time to shop for groceries but we awoke to not just coffee but also eggs and bagels and cream cheese and had and half. All of the amenities described in the listing were very accurate and we were fortunate enough to have great weather to enjoy all of the ones outdoors. We have stayed at dozens of properties and Billy and Carol are by far the best hosts we have ever had the pleasure to rent from. We will be back for sure!

We were so happy with our accommodations at The Owl’s Nest. Billy and Carol could not have been more welcoming or more thorough in every detail of our stay. We really appreciated the thoroughly stocked kitchen, and the many forms of entertainment for our 9 year old, including board games, darts, corn hole, and her personal favorite, the rope swing! We definitely plan on staying here again for our next visit to Portland!

What a great place and people! This is one of the more top notch places I have stayed in terms of the people hosting it. They definitely know what they are doing. The forethought put into the amenities is probably the best out of all the places I have stayed over the years. I come to Portland often to see my kids and sometimes get a VRBO. Billy was just a text away for anything we needed and super quick response. This place will be my first choice from now on.
