Close to city...but not too close. Relax in the comfort of a fully renovated "rear windows" apartment, overlooking towering cedars and Douglas firs. Birdwatching, urban hiking and easy access in all directions. Close to highest viewpoint in Portland. Kick back and relax in this calm, stylish space. During colder months, enjoy remote controlled gas fireplace while you read or binge watch your favorite shows in the living room.
Heatherâs cottage is so cozy and peaceful! Definitely enjoyed the fireplace, comfortable bed and beautiful bathroom. Quiet and very private.The only thing I would mention is that the home is located on a steep hill with a dead end. Parking and turning around is quite tight and challenging. There is a staircase outside down into the unit. These both were a bit of a surprise and a challenge for my nearly 80 year old mother that was traveling with me.
We had a wonderful stay in Portland! These accommodations were amazing! Cozy bed, great large shower, gas fireplace for cozy evenings, great location and comfortable seating area. Book your stay! You wonât be disappointed!!!! Would stay there again if we ever return to a Portland!!
The location and views were spectacular! A true escape from the city surrounded by cedars and doug firs. Everything from the blankets and pillows to the cookware was high quality, and despite the small size of the kitchen, it truly had everything I needed to cook a full meal. One thing to note is that there is a small, high window in the bedroom with no curtain, and while it wasnât a problem for me personally, if you are sensitive to morning/evening light, youâll want to bring an eye mask.Would definitely stay here again! Perfect for a solo stay or a romantic getaway.
Wonderful house with incredible forest view. Host was very kind and accomodating. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and hope the property will be available for our next trip to Portland.
A fantastic stay ! This little cozy forest retreat is perfect for you and someone else. Comfortable bed and AMAZING shower. Heather was extremely courteous offering any sort of help and or guidance about the city. 10/10 would recommend. Will be back. Additionally the cleanliness of this spot was also a 10/10 not a speck of dust, stain, frayed or torn anything. Thank you Heather !
We had an excellent stay at City Forest Retreat. The property was clean and modern, it was a perfect home base for a trip to Portland. The owner was easy to communicate with, timely and pleasant. We would definitely stay again.
Super place for adult couple who wants quiet accommodations
This was a great place for our stay while grandson graduated from college. Comfortable accommodations. FANTASTIC shower!!! Beautiful setting. We never saw any deer, but did see a coyote several blocks away. Easy access to Interstates, downtown, Multnomah Village. Did I mention the wonderful shower? (Worth mentioning more than once.) The owner even left some nice treats for us! We heartily recommend!
The house was immaculate and James and Heather were amazing hosts. We didnât expect to spend a lot of time at the VRBO while in Portland, but we ended up spending most of our mornings here drinking coffee and staring out into the beautiful forest. And when we did leave, it was an easy 10 minute Uber into the city. Such a wonderful place to spend a few days!
