May Many doors open for you this New Year.
Our family loves to travel and has done several postings overseas. My husband and I are both from the NW and love the area very much.
After traveling to some amazing places in the world we have found that the classic architecture of the older homes attracts us and we love to restore them to their natural state. My background is in hospitality and I have spent over 25 years in all forms of 5 star service. We are excited to offer you a very unique experience and a place we can share with you that feels like home.

Why they chose this property

This property was chosen by us because of it's awe inspiring views of Mt. Hood. It is a calming presence seen from most windows. We also loved the exquisite architectural design and craftsmanship.
It's a rare glimpse of the pasts unparalleled workmanship. The curved wood crown moldings around the doorways, the stained glass windows, the abundance of built ins are an unparalleled old style feature that can not be found in current construction. The warmth and character of the Jacobberger House made us feel right at home. We new immediately that this was the right choice for us.

Finish by stepping out onto our warmed tile floor and put on a nice robe to lounge in before going to bed.
