Cozy Forest Retreat near Downtown

The apartment felt like home away from home. Located in a quiet family orientd neighborhood and close to many restaurants, shops, the Zoo, and many, many hiking trails. This was our 2nd stay here, and look forward to future stays!

Property was as advertised. Good location.Only issue we had was accessing property using steep rock path. Constant rain contributed to having to tread carefully getting to street. Host did mention the path in the listing, but was just a little more difficult than thought it would be. Otherwise, great stay.

We were in the basement of the home. It was exceptionally hot and uncomfortable. They were friendly and kind. There was a heat wave that week. The path to the dwelling was difficult for my husband.

Kelsey and Quentin put a lot of love and care into their space and it shows. The space is very cozy and cute, we had everything we needed for a long weekend stay. The local recommendations were great! Unfortunately it was rainy and a little chilly so we didn’t get to enjoy the private deck space as much as we would have liked to but the views from the windows were just gorgeous. We’d love to come back and would highly recommend Owl Creek Retreat to anyone else!

Very rustic and enjoyed the views from all rooms. The only problem was the street parking on a steep hill and the path to the back was very uneven. The stones were not at all level. No problem for most people, but I am a senior with trouble walking on uneven steps. This is completely my mistake because I didn’t ask about this beforehand. We had complete privacy. When inside, the walk was worth it.

We stayed for a week and we loved the decor and location. Great instructions that were easy to follow and great communication

Quiet, clean, and safe neighborhood. It happened to be in the same neighborhood where our family lives. Owners went over and beyond to make sure whoever stays here has everything they need. They were easy to communicate with in coordinating our arrival and departure. It was definitely a home away from home feeling. We will book again on our next visit!

I have been a host of multiple vacation properties for 25 years and I can not speak highly enough about this charming studio and great hosts. Communication before our arrival was timely and helpful. The check in process was clear, even with our arrival in the middle of the night. Kelsey and Quentin have clearly put a lot of effort into the charming ascetics of their place with lots of books and decorations. The towels, linens and kitchenware was all very comfortable and ample. Most magical however was the feeling from the master bedroom of being right in the trees, as if you were in a treehouse with large windows on two side. From there you could watch the sunset and the studio would fill with stunning golden light. Really lovely and look forward to staying here again!

This VRBO was tucked into a very quiet residential neighborhood but nearby to any shopping you will need. We were visiting family nearby and this place was a great place to come and go. It is a fully appointed basement apartment with a separate entrance. Everything was clean and a modest kitchen was more than adequate.

Spacious, quiet and cozy.

Overall, we liked this place a lot. The view out of the windows is glorious. It was very hot the day we arrived and there is no A/C available in this basement apartment. The first evening we did not sleep great and were sweating! I also did not realize it was a basement apartment, which is my fault. The neighborhood was very safe and nice. The bed was very comfortable. Just wish I would have known about the A/C situation.

My wife and I visited my family in Portland. Our choice was to stay here near my sister. It is a lovely, quiet and secluded spot with everything we needed.

Great property that is well described on VRBO. Comfortable, quiet, convenient, lots of on-street parking and surprisingly large. The place could use a towel rack in the bathroom and a paring knife in the kitchen.

The hosts were very helpful. The location and view were spectacular. It felt like we were staying in a tree house as the views were spectacular. It was so nice to return to this home each evening. The last evening we were serenaded by an owl. We will return here again.
