    What a great place and people! This is one of the more top notch places I have stayed in terms of the people hosting it. They definitely know what they are doing. The forethought put into the amenities is probably the best out of all the places I have stayed over the years. I come to Portland often to see my kids and sometimes get a VRBO. Billy was just a text away for anything we needed and super quick response. This place will be my first choice from now on.

    I want to first say that the home was incredibly cozy, which is exactly what we wanted. I believe we would have had a different experience during a different season because we could have enjoyed more of the outdoor amenities. The home was well-stocked with just about every convenience you can imagine to stay in and enjoy yourself. I chose the “house” and entire place to yourself” filters. The view was gorgeous and the fireplace gave us the perfect atmosphere. That said, we intentionally searched for a home that we could enjoy peace and quiet. This was a super last-minute trip because we wanted some time to decompress before the holidays and end of year workload. While we appreciated the communication with the hosts, the listing did not clearly state that they live in a unit above the property. We heard footsteps, snoring, and even the TV and/or people talking through the duration of the trip. I’m not at all upset because that’s their home, however, it would have been nice to have that clearly stated in the listing. That made it difficult to enjoy a truly private stay because of we could hear them, they could likely hear us. We’re not loud, but it definitely made us more self-conscious.

    We were so happy with our accommodations at The Owl’s Nest. Billy and Carol could not have been more welcoming or more thorough in every detail of our stay. We really appreciated the thoroughly stocked kitchen, and the many forms of entertainment for our 9 year old, including board games, darts, corn hole, and her personal favorite, the rope swing! We definitely plan on staying here again for our next visit to Portland!
