We'll perhaps stay again if we decide to vacation again in Oregon as we live in Washington. The owner that we did meet was very friendly and accommodating. The place is beautiful and a lot of work put into it is paying off.
The property is well manicured and very lovely. There is a table on the property that overlooks the sandy river, which is beautiful. It’s a steep decline to the river and I wouldn’t recommend people who have balance issues attempting going down into it otherwise it’s a tranquil and nourishing environment.

Peaceful retreat
This was a beautiful location, tucked away on the Sandy River. We relaxed at many of the outside seating areas and enjoyed the garden and view of the river. We were only a short drive to amazing trails and to local restaurants and coffee.We were looking for an opportunity to get away and relax, and that is just what happened.The apartment is modern, beautiful and comfortable. The bed was so comfortable, I slept in longer than I have in years!Highly recommend
It’s definitely a beautiful place, secluded , quiet, surrounded by nature. The host was welcoming and so easy to contact.It’s a 5. But the address is hard to find that’s the only downside… the GPS said arrived, have to keep driving, would need a bigger sign or lighted address at the gate. Would totally book here again.

Very private. Incredibly beautiful location. Extremely well thought out place to fully rest and recharge. Every detail inside and outside of the cabin was carefully planned for the guests's comfort and ease. Gracious invisible host even though this is in the lower half of the their house. Reassuring and friendly . Never felt more safe and secure in any other hotel or BnB around the world. Actually, the BEST all around place in which I have ever had the pleasure of living for a few days.
