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!

Great stay at Owls Nest

We had a great stay at the Owls Nest. Billy and Carol have thought of everything. The outdoor activities were so fun. Especially loved the corn hole, darts and swings over the woods. The house is in an easy location for getting to Portland and the Columbia River Gorge. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.

One of the best!

Perfect location, 15-20 minutes to airport and downtown Portland. Surrounded by trees in very quiet neighborhood, and only 5 mins to the excellent Springwater bike trail. Super clean and comfortable. Hosts are very gracious and stocked the fridge with some breakfast fixings as well as coffee & teas. Hot tub was a major plus. Will definitely book this again if we’re back in Portland. It was one of the best short term rentals we’ve stayed in!

Carol and Billy Have Thought of the Traveler's Experience

Billy and Carol, hosts of the Owl's Nest, have done so. Bagels, cream cheese, eggs, spaghetti noodles and sauce in the apartment for those who may be too tired after day's driving to go out for food! Carol's remarkable artistic flourishes add character and interest to the rooms. The outside deck, tables and furniture were very clean for a building on the edge of a greenspace, with multiple places to enjoy meals and coffee while watching the wildlife. The ravine setting was beautiful with multiple places to sit and enjoy the scenery. Unobtrusive labels made it easy to work in the space, identifying where the kitchen's trash and recycling bins are. There were coat hooks near both entrances, outside the bath, and in the bedrooms. Also plenty of space for all a traveler's stuff. Yes, you will hear footsteps above you on occasion, overall it was very quiet and peaceful. One quibble with the Evolve service that confirmed the reservation. We wrote twice with a specific request and never received a communication acknowledging request. However, our request was honored. Communication with Billy and Carol was very prompt and pleasant. These hosts have really thought of everything!

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.

Idyllic Oasis of Calm

Billy and Carol (and their family) are wonderful people who graciously share their beautiful home and property with visitors. The location is perfect; quiet and peaceful yet close to shopping and activities. The space is creatively/artistically furnished and ultra well-stocked with all the comforts of your own home (plus more!). Clean and comfortable...it was very tough to leave.
