House was great, very comfortable. Owner lives in the basement unit, nice guy. Some issues with communications with iTrip, like being told we didnât have a reservation the night before we left. Overall, this is a great house, very comfortable beds. 7 of us were here.
In spite of a terrible ice storm and coming in one day late our experience was top notch all the way! The management was great. Would highly reccomend!
House is gorgeous, clean, well stocked with everything you need. Neighborhood is just as impressive. One lovely perk that is not mentioned is the sound of the rushing stream/river that you can hear from the bedrooms if you sleep with your window open. Even though it was raining and chilly it was complete blissâŠ. The owner Jim was prompt and especially accommodating. Canât thank him enough for his kindness. Highly recommend this home!
The first night got off to a bumpy start. But after I reported the issue. The owner was understanding and fixed the issue. The house is BEAUTIFUL and very spacious. The little extra attention that was shown for my stay helped make the week nice. The location was close to my son's college and the owner had no problem allowing me to host a small dinner party. I will mark this property as a favorite to stay.
The house was very nice in a very nice neighborhood. Clean, comfortable, and quiet. We liked the Roku TV in the living room, so we could stream shows when we were home. It was a good location for us, as it was about halfway between Portland and family events in Aurora. The loft location is a little odd since it opens into the master bathroom, but we made it work for us. All in all, we enjoyed our stay.
We stayed here to be close to my parentsâ house in West Linn and it was perfect. There were only four of us, but it was cozy, clean, and very quiet. The kids loved sharing the bedroom with three beds, and it made it easy for us to have them so close to our main bedroom. My only suggestion would be to add pathway lights on the steps down to the front door. Since you canât park in the driveway, you have to use those steps and in the dark it was a bit nerve wracking with the kids.
Thank you for a wonderful and easy stay!
We were recently displaced due to our home flooding. We attempted hotel stay, however with 3 daughters being home schooled it wasnât right for us. So we looked into renting a home and found Apollo Heights (we found a slice of heaven) home. It was perfect for our needs, in a great neighborhood, very clean and close to work for us. Nothing like waking up to deer walking down the road or the yard. If I ever have to rent a home again or family coming in for a stay I will definitely be coming back. Thank you to Jim and Corey for the pleasant stay in our families time of need.
A Clean House in a Quiet Neighborhood With a Beautiful Forest View Out Back
Pros:
Very clean house
Comfortable furnishings
Two large tables which worked perfectly for us - one to eat at and one for a puzzle!
Quiet neighborhood - we didn't hear a peep!
Gorgeous forest right out the back window complete with adorable and acrobatic squirrels.
Cons:
The upstairs kitchen could use a few more basic pots and pans.
The hot water heater cannot support 10 guests, let alone 14 as advertised. This would be a key upgrade to making the house a five-star destination.
Due to winter storm, all plans were changed & had to stay at the house vs going out. The VRBO description didnt tell us the owner lived onsite & downstairs. 1 bed had dog hair (we think) in it, found sheets & able to change the bed. The furnace wasnt working 1/2 the time we were there & house was only 63-64 degrees (during a winter storm), it was 15° outside, freezing rain & snow. Owner & Property managment was responsive & brought extra blankets & 2 space heaters. Needs a few things such sponges orsomething to hand wash dishes as well.
We were very disappointed in the layout of the house. The 4th bedroom does not have a door to close, it attaches to the master bath, and it provides no privacy. This did not work for us at all and we were shocked to see this. Although it states that there is a huge deck, it looks directly into the owners windows which we felt uncomfortable with and it is quite far from the kitchen so it felt like a huge hassle to lug all of our food down there to eat. The BBQ did not work so we never were able to cook outside. The management company was very responsive, but in most cases told us there was nothing they could do to help with our situations that arose. The house was not equipped with basic kitchen tools (ex cutting boards) so we found it challenging to cook often. We requested a late check out (we had young kids and it would have made our travel day infinitely easier) but we were denied and told our only option was to pay for an additional day (therefore it wasn't because new people were checking in).
We met the owner on numerous occasions and he was extremely friendly and we were gracious that he allowed us to stay in his home. I only wish that he would have been the contact person rather than the management company.
Loved our stay. Very clean, plenty of towels, comfortable spaces for six of us. Nice location for getting to Portland and neighboring areas. I only suggest adding TVâs to the two bedrooms without them, for private viewing to unwind after the day or mornings. Thank you for making our family time very enjoyable!
The house is similar to the photos. The house was very clean. The beds were super comfortable. The kitchen is very well stocked. I would not want to stay here with as many people as this house could hold (12-14) because the public spaces would be very crowded. The room with the 3 queen beds is sort of a loft and can hear anything happening in the kitchen and living room. For 8 or 9 people this house is fine. Especially, if you are getting out during the day. The property managers were very helpful. You can find lots of parking on the street, but the driveway was full of large trucks owned by the people who live in the downstairs apartment. Also, the deck is part of the downstairs apartment and was full of their belongings and would feel super weird to use, as it is connected to the downstairs apartment. So really there is no outside space to use.
We had 6 adults for a long weekend. The house was very clean . The kitchen was well stocked w dishes and utensils, we loved having 3 bathrooms. The neighborhood was very interesting for walking.
We could have used more kitchen towels and paper towels.
Otherwise, I would love to stay here again. âïžâïžâïžâïžâïž
House was very clean and beds were very comfortable. I may have missed the part of the owners living in the downstairs of the property. We have stayed in many VRBOs and we thought this was quite interesting. Never heard them or saw them. Sparse pots and pans but we made do
Location was good for us. Management and host responded promptly to needs ie not having a pitcher on site, difficulty getting heat to come on, etc. Location was clean enough; comfortable beds. Sofa in living room was broken and Should be replaced. Carpet on steps needs cleaning. Fireplace was not operable.
This property was absolutely perfect for our group! It was clean, the sheets and beds were wonderful. The kitchen had the basics, which was great for us. The neighbor is beautiful.
One suggestion is the need for a full length mirror.
Place was clean, quiet and set in a beautiful neighborhood. Comfy beds, well stocked kitchen and it was clean. One of the couches could stand replacing but it didn't stop us from enjoying our weekend.
