A Gathering Place - Spacious Family Home & Hot Tub | House in Milwaukie

We are new to VRBO! But, we have a 4.73 star rating on other platforms! Here is what some of our guests have to say about our house:
"Great little place and actually bigger than most we’ve stayed in. There were several little “conversation spots,” which worked out great for our stay. The teens had their own space to hang out and talk, some adults gathered in other areas, and the kids had another spot to play. It made it really comfortable for everyone to spread out. Thanks for hosting us!"

"The house was more spacious than we expected, easily accommodating the 4 adults and 3 kids. The multiple sitting areas allowed one area to be designated as the play area, perfect for wooden trains and matchbox car tracks. The kitchen was very well supplied, making it easy to cook and easy to clean up. Everyone reported comfortable beds, sheets, and pillows."
