Two office "areas" for working from home, one in the living room, and one in the upstairs bedroom. You'll be in awe of the extensive book and game collections!

Planning retreat

This house is very well cared for and well equipped! The owners responded promptly when I had a question and were helpful. The house was very comfortable & homey, a true home away from home. The view with all the trees made me feel like we were truly away in a peaceful setting instead of just a planning retreat right in our hometown!

About the host

Hosted by Sheila Cox Dickinson

Host profile image
This is my parents house, and filled with their treasures from a lifetime of reading and traveling! The library is filled with books of all kinds - especially local geography, history, and exploring. I live just a few miles away, and it's a wonderful part of town - close to downtown Vancouver, Portland, I-5 and I-205.
