Garden Oasis in the City

Lovely host and property We had a wonderful time in this oasis. The host is fantastic, helpful, and so thoughtful in the design of the indoor and outdoor spaces.

ABSOLUTELY ENCHANTING! So beautifully appointed outside and in! Dieter thought of every possible need for an incredibly relaxing and enjoyable stay. The yard is definitely an oasis and the Chalet possessed the ambiance of an upscale boutique hotel! I will definitely stay here again when I come back!

Everything about this property and the owner exceeded my expectations which were already pretty high! It's a beautiful retreat atmosphere and the owner has a wonderful heart for design both in the home and in the landscaping. I cannot say enough good things about my experience here and plan to return as often as I can!

Visit with family Location was perfect to where my son’s home is. We will definitely be back!

So peaceful The property was exactly as represented but better! The unit was very clean, but did not smell like cleaning agents. The various sitting areas around the property were divine, we spent a couple of hours every morning on the front porch. The sectional was super comfy and enabled 4 of us to dine outside. The spa was great, always hot and clean! We stayed 2 weeks and by the second week realized there are no noises in the house..no squeaking doors, cabinets are all soft close, owner above was super quiet, just the most peaceful spot inside and outside. Appreciated having the basic spices along with salt, pepper and napkins provided. We will definitely stay here again when in Vancouver! .

10/10 Exceptional accommodations and grounds The host remodeled this home, guest quarters & spacious garden area in Mediterranean style. Everything, from the decor to the amenities to the amazing back garden were exceptional -- the pictures on the listing illustrate what's available and the landscaping, water feature and cozy outdoor seating areas are sublime. The host, Dieter, is a designer, and it shows. Well equipped kitchen & amenities such as robes are included. Our communications were easy and Dieter accommodated my request to leave my car at the property before check-in time on the day I arrived. I was in Vancouver to visit someone but visitors to Portland should also consider this property. A photo book documents the transformation from a ho-hum property to a little Mediterranean oasis in the city. Thanks, Dieter, for providing such a special place for my stay.
