Eclectic for sure. Close to shopping with a great creek in the back.

Mary met us at check in and made us feel incredibly welcome. She is such a warm and kind person. The cabin had everything from goodies to filtered water to bagels and eggs from her and Don's chickens. When we asked for a recommendation to a nearby food pod, Mary knew exactly where one was, and it did not disappoint! We would happily stay here again!

The good: Don and Mary will jump through hoops and knock themselves out to make sure you're happy. The bad: Everything else. For starters, these other reviews are just NOT accurate. We understand that people may not want to hurt Don and Mary's feelings in the reviews, and we understand that having this property is important to Don and Mary...but if you're going to spend your hard-earned money, just be warned: Nothing about this listing is accurate. The ad says it sleeps 5. It does not. Downstairs is a kitchen area with a fridge, stove, sink, overly cluttered counters, a coffee table and a futon frame overloaded with oversized mattresses. No place to really prepare food unless you stack up all the stuff they've loaded onto the counters, or put it all on the floor. Once you've prepared your food, there's no place to sit and eat. The futon is made up like a bed, and the mattresses flop over the side so there's nothing steady to sit on. No table or comfy chair. Plus, the entire futon tilts in towards the room so you can't sleep on it. Upstairs is a queen sized bed. That's fine. Then there's a stuffed chair with its ottoman-mate shoved up against it, all made up to look like a sleeping area. You can't get comfortable on it. It's not a bed. SO, the ad says it sleeps 5, when it really only sleeps 2. Next, the clutter is everywhere. EVERYWHERE. VRBO won't let us upload photos, so we can't show you what it's like. Outside, there's no room to really walk around on the "lovely wooded acreage" because it is overwhelmed with a disturbing amount of clutter, garbage, and knick-knacks, piled on top of each other. It starts at your door and keeps going. Inside, the bathroom counters are overloaded, the kitchen counters are overloaded, the two small side tables are overloaded. The coffee table isn't, for what it's worth, and the clutter is just starting to spread upstairs.. Lastly, we opened the fridge to find a 1/2 gallon of milk and three rolls of bagels. Very thoughtful, but we don't drink milk and we don't eat bagels. Don brought us MORE of each. We also found a lot of food that previous guests had left behind -- opened containers of dip, sauce, salsa, etc. First, that's against Health Department Code. Second, it's just gross. We bolted after one night, as we suspect many others have. This place is NOT AS ADVERTISED. PERIOD.

Great location. The house had everything I needed. The fresh fruit and flowers were a nice touch. The coffee was good and the pastries, and breakfast items were a nice suprise.

Don and Mary were very pleasant and helpful. The living quarters were very cozy. Their property is a very eclectic place and having the creek made it very special. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Mary and Don were great hosts! Lots of towels and linens, with a great assortment of breakfast items, with coffee! Very nice place close to where we needed to be. Will definitely consider staying again.

It is located at a rustic farm and yet is very close to civilization. Shopping Mall is just a mile away! A pair of friendly and helpful hosts who would accommodate our needs. Great place to stay and enjoy the surrounding!

We loved our stay with Don and Mary. Everything was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. We ate Strawberries and tomatoes from the garden, walked along the creek and enjoyed the natural surroundings. We will definitely be back!

We enjoyed our stay. Cute, quiet and comfortable.

Kind and attentive hosts. Beautiful nearby creek and close to the city. The home was quirky and is great for artists. We would definitely return!

Cozy place with super comfortable beds. Little forest area with creek in the backyard was a great plus and usually quiet at all times.

Always something interesting to look at here! Mary and Don were accommodating and easy to work with. Wish our weather would have been better because the nature preserve was beautiful

The hosts were awesome, very responsive, and communicated quickly. The bed was comfortable and it was very pleasant that the fridge was stocked with breakfast items.

Unique and fun place to stay. Hosts had every thing covered. Showed us everything beforehand. Always available if needed.

Good communication

My husband and two of our grown up sons stayed for at this small cottage. It is very convenient, clean and comfy. It offers morning snacks, delicious coffee, and plenty of linen and blankets and everything for a restful and peaceful stay. Will definitely consider it for next time we visit Portland OR. Thank you!

Mary and Don were very communicative and flexible with our changing arrival time at the end of a "road trip." They greeted us on check-in, gave a brief tour, let us know they were there if we needed anything, and we didn't see much of them after that. It was a welcome balance of personal service and privacy. AC was on to pre-cool the room before we got there. Bed was comfy. The bathroom is oddly placed, but does have doors on each entry for privacy if needed. There is not much "living" space inside (a futon that was made into a bed, coffee table and one chair), but I feel that was well represented in the pictures, and was sufficient for this trip, where we mainly just needed a place to sleep. Overall a lovely experience. We would happily stay here again.

The hosts were very responsive and kind. Linens were ironed! Breakfast food was provided and appreciated. The main drawback was the bathroom. You walk through it to enter and privacy was difficult to achieve. Maybe if it was just a single person or at most a couple, it would work but for our group of five, it didn’t. Beautiful surroundings with lots of interesting ‘art’.

All reviews that we looked over, were totally true and accurate! Our expectations and needs were more than met. We wished we could have stayed longer, Don and Mary did a great job making the property feel like home!!!

This B&B is such a great place! The owners are super friendly, open and love gardens and nature! Super near Clackamas Mall and any other needs, and just a hope skip and jump to downtown portland, TOTALLY worth it. Enjoy morning walks with your coffee (or tea lol) on their little trails in the back along a creek and other nice areas!

Owners very welcoming, definitely would stay again

Very nice cottage that had a continental breakfast, tea, and all of the amenities we might have wanted. The upstairs bedroom was very spacious, the bed was comfortable, and there was a great tv for watching movies. We would stay here again for sure.

This separate garage apartment is very charming. The couple who own it, and live in the house next door, are very kind. They answered my email and accepted my last minute request to stay with a pet, immediately. The unit includes an upstairs large bedroom, with a comfortable bed and direct TV. The downstairs includes walking into the full bathroom with a tub/shower and toilet. Unlike what I read of other reviews, there are doors to shut make the bathroom/toilet private. The bathroom includes items such as shampoo, toothbrush etc. if forgotten. The kitchen and living space is nice, with a slider door to a nice patio overlooking the yard over Scott Creek. The full kitchen includes a stove/oven, microwave, mini-frig, coffee pot etc., and is stocked with everything needed for cooking and preparing food. The sitting area includes a futon, for more people to sleep. There are a lot to look at with old-European knickknacks, and makes the experience unique. The very best part is the property backs up to Scott Creek, and there is access to a nature trail. I enjoyed my time there. The couple and their three outdoor-cats were very hospitable.

We enjoyed our stay and would stay again in the future. I would suggest that since there is not a door to close off the toilet, a curtain in front of the toilet would be nice for privacy.

Don and Mary were very flexible with our ever changing arrival time. The personal welcome was very warm and we felt comfortable exploring the property.
