As a VRBO host myself I feel there are a few things that could be better maintained. I’ll just lists the pros and cons. Pros: Beautiful scenic view from inside and out, great location to walk to restaurants & activities, lots of seating inside and out, off street parking, main bed in living room area was comfortable, good selection of board games, good quality toilet paper. Cons: Shower curtain had a lot of mold on it, tub shower situation very awkward and hard to get into, lots of cobwebs on deck porch entry way, cushions outside are very old and weathered with mold spots from getting wet every time sprinklers come on and are hard to dry for use. I’m not familiar with the type of hot tub but it did have green algae and we just didn’t feel it comfortable using it, towels had a sour smell when wet as well as the kitchen sponge which we had no replacement for, we were unable to locate the arcade mentioned in the property highlights, some yard games would have been nice.The house inside definitely needed a good thorough cleaning there was lots of cobwebs inside as well. Overall our stay was okay.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review and for sharing your perspective as a fellow VRBO host. We truly appreciate both your compliments and your constructive feedback. We're so glad you enjoyed the scenic views, convenient location, comfortable bed, ample seating, board games, and even the quality of the toilet paper! We sincerely apologize for the cleanliness and maintenance issues you encountered. The stain on the shower curtain, cobwebs, weathered outdoor cushions, towel odor, and the condition of the hot tub all fall short of the standards we strive to provide. We've shared your comments with our cleaning and maintenance teams so these items can be addressed immediately. We'll also look into the missing arcade game listing to ensure our property description is accurate and consider adding yard games as you've suggested. Thank you again for your honest feedback. It helps us improve the experience for future guests, and we hope we'll have the opportunity to provide you with a much better stay in the future.

This is an excellent property! Beautiful setup! Great river front property. They supplied paddle boats, canoes and offered the use of a boat if needed. It is a property that provides everything that you need. Hotbut, three fire pits, gas grill and charcoal grill. The property owner also offers access to spa experiences so you have the complete relaxing experience. The view is amazing and breathtaking views of the river and Million dollar homes on the other side of the river! We are talking about homes with over 8,000 sq ft of living space. It reminds me of the homes on Lake Geneva in Wisconsin!The host is awesome and very accommodating. The property has five different outdoor sitting areas.There is a Fred Meyer’s store is about 3 miles away and the famous Voodoo Donut shop is about 3 miles away!!! So of course we had to grab a dozen of them for the week!Great experience, great host, great property, and great price!!! We will definitely keep this as our first option whenever we return to Portland area! We have a party of five and had plenty of space to relax and to entertain. We did s’more and wine at the fire pit in the evening.I promise you will not be disappointed with this spacious cabin like rear privacy unit! We were on the river everyday! We woke up early to see the sunrise and laid out by the river during sun down! Postcard like views!Sara, is a fantastic host!

Disliked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
While this listing is crafted so that it appears to be for a house, it is actually a lower level apartment. It’s dark inside and the river view is overgrown by the landscaping (we could not see kids at the water from inside the unit). The host lives above the rental and we could hear them walking around. The host states that they leave the property when guests are staying but I can’t confirm. The driveway is shared with the host and has a number of vesicles and an RV parked in it. The photos of the yard are older and don’t reflect the current wear and tear on the landscaping. It also appears that, like many in Oregon, they don’t water the lawn so in summer it becomes weedy and dry (not like in pictures - bad for playing, good for bees). Patio furniture is warn and there was a dirty sun bleached indoor sofa (not patio furniture) on the deck. The hot tub was not heated or fully covered and therefore dirty when we arrived.Full disclosure- after seeing the place in person we decided we could not stay at this listing. The host disagreed and felt that claiming the unit is a “house” (instead of apartment or guest house) and “entire home” was acceptable and not misleading. They argue it’s a duplex. To us, that wasn’t at all obvious from the listing at the time of our booking. Hopefully this review will help you determine if this is the place for you and decide if these are the kind of people you want to give your money to. Us guests need to stick together

Thank you for taking the time to share your review. We’re sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations, but we’d like to clarify a few points for future guests. The VRBO rental portion of the home is located at ground level and has large windows overlooking the river, which provide abundant natural light. It sounds as though the blinds may have been drawn during your stay, which would significantly change the brightness of the space. The host lives in the home when it is not being rented and happened to be leaving as you arrived early. We understand that seeing the host may have been unexpected, but the rental is a private, designated portion of the home. The landscape and views naturally change throughout the year, particularly here in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, where we experience four distinct seasons. Although the property is extensively irrigated and we work very hard to maintain the landscaping year-round, by late summer lawns throughout the region naturally begin to lose some of their green color. The hot tub is natural-gas heated and warms very quickly with the push of the jets button. It is cleaned and treated before every guest stay. The cover is intentionally lightweight to make it easier and more convenient for guests to remove. Regarding the outdoor furniture, the couch and loveseat chair on the deck do show some sun fading because they receive afternoon sun. They are otherwise protected from the elements. We have kept them because they are exceptionally comfortable, and many guests have specifically commented that they are much more comfortable than typical patio furniture. There is also plenty of additional patio furniture located throughout the yard. Finally, as with most vacation rental homes, guests do not have access to every room in the house. The rental space is clearly designated, and we’re sorry if this was not what you expected. We truly appreciate your feedback and are always looking for ways to improve the guest experience. We’re sorry we were not able to provide the stay you had hoped for.

The property is beautiful!! The view and backyard alone is worth the stay. We were able to have a great wedding weekend and the house was very accessible/amenable to even have grandparents join us to help babysit a toddler and a baby for the actual wedding evening. Also, we were able to walk to a playground and nature trails just down the street. It was an easy drive to downtown.
