The beds were soft and the back patio was very nice. The yard was nicely landscaped

We were originally looking for a hotel for a two-night stay, but everything around Portland seemed quite expensive, especially since we needed two rooms. Then Serene Vacation Home popped up on Booking.com, offering an entire three-bedroom house all to ourselves. We booked it immediately and never regretted the decision. The home is conveniently located near Portland, which was exactly what we wanted, as we preferred to avoid staying in the city itself while still being close enough to visit if needed. The neighborhood is quiet and pleasant, the house was spotless, and the fully equipped kitchen made it easy to prepare meals when we didn’t feel like dining out. We especially enjoyed the lovely deck overlooking a small rose garden—a perfect spot to relax after a day of exploring. The only thing larger groups should be aware of is that the house has a conventional tank water heater. If you have more than three people showering back-to-back, you’ll want to plan accordingly, as the water gradually becomes less hot. That said, it still remained comfortably warm and was a very minor inconvenience. Overall, this does not detract from the tremendous value of the property. You just need to be a little strategic with shower timing. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, found it to be an excellent deal, and are very grateful to have found such a comfortable and welcoming place to spend a few nights. We would happily stay here again.
