You'll have no end of sightseeing choices when visiting Southwest Portland. Hoyt Arboretum is a good place to kick off here, but there are many other worthwhile spots to check out. Oregon Zoo, Portland State University, and Portland Japanese Garden are not far from the nature reserve and will top off your day nicely.

Lindsey at the property was wonderful to our family, we were celebrating our boys birthdays and took them to ride quads at sandlake. Stayed here after and they were over the moon. We had a great comfy dome, lovely fire pit, s’mores delivered to us and blankets to keep us warm around the fire. We couldn’t be more pleased with our experience at two capes.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (1,411 reviews)

Stayed for 2 nights and loved it. Was about the same price as the hotels in the area for a 1 bedroom condo with upstairs and downstairs. I really enjoyed the jetted tub. It was probably the fanciest bathroom I've been in with heated mirrors, a heated towel rack, and the tub had several jet settings. Also very short walk over to the beach. The beach was very nice, there was a little creak to cross and lots of small dunes. My only complaint is the curtains in the bedroom did nothing to block out light, but there was blackout curtains upstairs in the living room, just wish they were in the bedroom.
