Gorgeous view with responsive owners
If having a view is important to you, look no further. Sipping coffee on my private balcony overlooking Lake Oswego was the highlight of my Oregon adventure. The owners Mack and Cathleen were very rapidly responisive to my inquiries yet allowed me the privacy crave,

Rustic. Attractive area. Friendly host. Well stocked except for coffee. Window ac blows directly across from head of bed. Be sure to ask how to get hot water in the shower.

Peaceful lake view apartment
We enjoyed our stay here. We needed a quite place to stay for a week and this was it. We enjoyed eating dinner on the porch while watching the lake.

Athey Creek church visit
We came to the area to visit our home church. We were looking for a quiet, relaxing place to stay between church services. We found this to be exactly what we were hoping for. We loved the little studio in a quiet, friendly neighborhood. The owners were very friendly but never intrusive. We enjoyed sitting by the lake watching boats passing by. We had a very relaxing 5 night stay.

Most relaxing place on earth!!!!
Absolutely beautiful property that's sure to provide endless relaxation, and is tended to by the nicest hosts one can imagine. It's difficult to articulate just how incredible, peaceful and quiet the area is. I got some of the best sleep I've had in years here. Ammenities provided were perfect for my stay. Looking forward to hopefully returning sometime soon!

Great Views
This property is in a great location and has nice lake views. However the property itself is quite run down. It was also not properly cleaned. It was very dusty with dead bugs in the window sills and the dishes were not clean, among other things. With some maintenance and thorough cleaning this would be a much better place to stay.

I think I need to explain the knotty pine walls in our apartment. I rescued the knotty pine from a house in North Portland. I brought it home and restored it and used it to cover the walls in this apartment because it was these kind of walls we had in our beach house on Balboa Island back in the fifties and it brings back fabulous memories. If that makes people feel like it's dated or needs a cleaning I'm sorry. This is the way it is. It's cozy, it's on the water and everything is clean. Please read the previous review where they said everything was comfortable and clean but a little bit dated hence the knotty pine issue. Both the kitchen and bathroom were updated 4 years ago. Yes the shower fits in the eaves and isn't normal but it has been updated. I don't know what dishes could possibly have been dirty AND I was on site so if there were any problems I would have appreciated a call that I could have fixed it for you. I have stayed in some interesting places across the world that wouldn't have been for everyone but I loved what each experience brought to me.

Great alternative to a hotel room!
This is a great little alternative to a hotel room! It is a little dated, but it has everything you need for a short or long term stay. The location is beautiful literally right on the shores of Lake Oswego. The small kitchen is well equipped for casual meals. The queen sized bed is comfortable. The heated Saltillo tile floor is very nice. The bathroom is certainly workable, although the shower is on the small side. We stayed here a week and for the price it was a fabulous alternative. The owner was gracious and communicated well. We recommend this property.

Nice view of the lake
Nice property. The owners were able to get us in last minute during the busy summer month of July, which was awesome. The property is right on the lake with a nice view, in a beautiful LO neighborhood, and a short drive to lots of fun places/activities.

Got me in last minute, an enjoyable stay.
Cathleen was very kind and communicative, she got me in the same day I messaged her to see if the property was available, due to having to leave my last rental because it was not safe. So I am very grateful to Cathleen I was able to easily move to her property, I felt much safer and it was a very nice quiet stay. The property is very beautiful, I spent a few hours in the morning on the deck it was very nice and calming. The bed was comfortable and the linens smelled fresh and clean. I enjoyed my stay.

Nice View - great location
Located in a great neighborhood. Nice view of Lake Oswego. Studio and property is very old. Poor lighting, almost unusable shower, ceiling fan only worked occasionally, no hair dryer as listed. A couple bar stools would be nice as there was no way to eat except stand. Was not clear where the washer/dryer were as listed. In the winter this could be a cold place as half of the weather stripping under door is missing and one of the kitchen windows will not shut. Nice TV. Bathroom a real issue. Lovely bench outside to sit on. Parking is also an issue. A tight squeeze and often no place at all to to park. Sweet setting but has some issues.

I'm so sorry that you were disappointed in your stay. We are a 5 star property. The house is over a 100 years and we advertise it as such. I just checked to make sure there is a hair dryer and it is there . You have air conditioning and a ceiling fan. The floors are heated for a cozy stay in the winter. There is plenty of parking on the street. Obviously we are not what you expected or your cup of tea. The only time I heard from you was when you asked if you could use the dock and to tell me how beautiful it was here and to tell me my plant wasn't doing well. If you needed or couldn't find something we could have remedied it with a quick text. The last couple that stayed here brought me an orchid they had such a great time.

Beautiful Oswego View
We explored the city and most popular attractions in Portland, then would relax on the deck watching the beautiful sunsets. The owners are friendly and made a nice studio above their garage with a little balcony. We loved the fresh crisp mornings and sipping on wine in the evenings. Such an amazing area with lots to see and do! Thank you Mack and Cathleen for a lovely stay!

Everything was smooth and easy with our rental. The location and space where just what we needed. Having the beautiful lake right outside was amazing. I highly recommend Cathleen’s property!

Pretty nice!
This was a nice comfortable studio over garage with beautiful deck view of Lake Oswego. No complaints except that it was unclear where we could park along the back of the property. Although there is room for two cars to park without obstructing the garage entrances, a car was parked in the middle of this space throughout our week long stay. Not a big deal, but would be helpful to clarify for future guests.

A Little Slice of Heaven
The Walkers were great hosts, laid back, and were friendly to chat with. The apartment is cozy and clean and provides a nice view of Lake Oswego. There are two paddle boards we took out daily to explore the amazing lake and canals. The LO downtown area is a nice place to walk around and eat some good food. Its an absolutely gorgeous lake and renting this small apartment would be worth twice the price!
