Love this place

We loved the sculpture garden. The art is impressive! The location is perfect and the interior of the property is so charming and cozy. The use of reclaimed wood gives it such a warm, homey feel. We will definitely stay here again

Lovely cottage - could be cleaner

Very easy access to the Magic Barn. Was surprised to find that a “hot tub” meant a bathtub with running hot water. Lock on the sliding door stopped working when trying to lock from the outside. Cobwebs hanging off ceiling and plants everywhere!But otherwise cozy, close to grocery and thrift stores. On a VERY busy street but when I closed my eyes the noise sounded more like wind than traffic.

Best Portland Haven

Very sweet, otherworldly studio in the backyard of an older home. There is a very quiet, eccentric aesthetic in the place that was warm and welcoming. We'd be happy to spend more time there.

Great location

The traffic noise from Cesar Chavez was loud until after 11:30 or so, and the mattress/box spring was loud and uncomfortable. But the location can’t be beat, and the host was super nice and easy to work with. We dug the Magic Barn. It’s cozy and even has a claw-foot tub.

Just as pictured.

It’s a cozy little place to hold up in for a night or two. The host gives an accurate description of what it is like. I didn’t expect to see his artwork in the yard which was a treat.

Cozy unique

We enjoyed our stay at the Magic Barn. A few things: a small microwave would be handy for warming cold coffee, leftovers from dining out, etc. The one sided bed was hard to get in/out at night. We did feel safe and warm. No TV was kinda nice, but we did stream a couple of times on our iPad.

Not up to par

While cozy and cute, it was dusty and musty, had many cob and spider webs, stained hand towels (found a dead insect inside washcloth) and an unclean bath mat. Surprisingly quiet with the busy street.

Everything was “magical” during my stay here. My only complaint was the water pressure was so low, and the shower liners kind of crowd you when you’re showering in the claw tub. Other than that, it was great and 10/10 would recommend and stay here again. The lighting at night with the chandeliers while reading was my favorite.

Quiet, Charming and Relaxing

It felt like I was in a rural cabin right in the city! This was perfect for a couple nights and so cozy. Pretty quiet for being on a main road, it was well equipped and walking distance from lots of good things. Would stay here again! Thanks for having me!

Beautiful interior and ambience, romantic getaway!

The property was great, secure and thoughtful with everything they provide, the tub was very nice and the pothos plants and monstera plant was so cool! Definitely would recommend this property to friends and family. Only thing that we didn’t like was the mattress was not comfortable and woken up very early by a very loud dog barking at a nearby neighbors house.

not what is seems

I was so excited to come to the barn. Not only was checking in confusing, the property manger took I think 3 days to get back to me. The water was cold- and very hard to get hot water. The bed was so uncomfortable and lumpy. The garden was dirty. They had a party staying in the main house. The coffee and fireplace was nice. The place could be chraming if they did a deep cleaning of it and actually care about it.

I was locked in, unable to find the code to the gate

The place was great, except for too-too soft couch. . . the bath tub was lovely. My c/o is that the code to open the gate to the property was not posted anywhere in 'the welcome' packet. . ..I called the onset manager who was prompt, gave me the code, we both looked @ my emails = no code. He just kept saying 'this has never happened before' which I did not find helpful

Nice getaway for a witchy gal

Had a lovely time in the magic barn. It was so cottage-y and fairly like. Only thing I wished for was a TV. Other than that I had a great time with my sister. It was clean, cozy, and the hosts were available when needed. Best part, checkout was a breeze. No crazy hoops to jump through. Loved it and will return.
