The property is fantastic! When driving in, the neighborhood does not impress. But when you go through the gate into the property, it is truly an oasis. Just a short drive from the city, which in the past we have found to be a little loud to stay in. But the Oasis was quiet and peaceful. Gardens, hot tub, babbling water feature...all so clean and restful. Spotlessly clean inside and out. Trouble with the TV was addressed quickly and personally by Dieter, who was a quiet host. Only saw him when we asked for help. Wonderful stay.

Pleasant and well done

I was in town for a short time on a visit. I found the the mini apartment to be charming and perfect for our stay. I'd stay there again on my next visit to Vancouver.

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!

Peaceful getaway

Dieter’s place is absolutely lovely— looks just like the photos! He has thought of everything to make the stay a cozy one—coffee, slippers, robes, to name a few. The design of the space is so beautifully curated and thoughtfully planned, you can tell a lot of care went into it. The garden is a gorgeous oasis right at your doorstep with a hot tub to enjoy it from. Communication with Dieter is thorough and thoughtful. I highly recommend this place and hope to stay again soon!

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.

Amazing Location, Great Amenities

My stay at Dieter’s property was lovely! From the moment I arrived I could tell the neighborhood was a quiet residential area. Short drive from PDX and easy commute to downtown Portland, and the Columbia River Gorge- does it get any better than that? He provided a Nespresso machine for morning coffee with all the fixings, robes for use with the wonderful hot tub, slippers, and most everything needed to cook. There were also waters available as well as a few little snacks. The TVs are used by Chromecast which worked well for streaming movies, shows, and music. Dieter was great at communicating in a professional and timely manner. I think what I enjoyed the most was relaxing in the back garden area- it really feels like a private oasis. There are string lights that turn on automatically when the sun starts setting, and beautifully illuminate the area. A few different seating areas depending on whether you want to relax steps away from the door, or a little closer to the waterfall to add the sound of trickling water to the peaceful ambiance. My goal with my stay was relaxation and that was definitely achieved with Dieter’s hospitality. I hope I am able to return soon!
