Absolutely wonderful property and some of the nicest and most gracious hosts that we have met in Billy and Carol in our many years of "VRBOing". They have thought of their visitors every need, and the nice pictures at the website truly match the natural beauty of the property. Top of the line, and we would love to return someday!

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.

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!

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!
