The Soaking Pool is a great option for those cold nights where you are sick of curling up in a…read moreblanket and want to relax for a bargain. The price is fair and the pool itself is spacious even when crowded. My only gripe about this place is each time I have visited (4 times now) there has been an individual or couple who get a bit too rowdy. I understand that this pool is part of a hotel where people come to vacation and relax but if you are going to drink too much and then make it an annoyance around a public space, please reconsider coming in. I am a little shocked that they let people in at times who are visibly drunk. Anyway, that was just my experience. I recommend bringing waterproof shoes and of course your own towel. The space and the Kennedy School itself are very interesting, given their history and vibe and even location in Portland. If you are looking for a more private space this isn't it but if you are down to share and relax surrounded by noise, this is a safe bet.

He was very timid and had trust issues with past teachers which would cause him to progress/regress depending on the teacher's approach. He has thrived since coming to the lessons at Hood.

Everyone I dealt with answered my questions and promptly communicated with me throughout the process. We were able to visit the venue twice to determine what we needed.

I appreciated having the option of clean up services for an additional fee. I also used their dishes and they are beautiful. The cost for this venue is extremely affordable for such a classy place. My daughter walked in and said it felt like she was in a dream! Thank you again for providing such a beautiful venue.

We stopped by Camp Angelos near Dabney State park on the Sandy River since my friends are planning…read morea wedding there. It looks like a great outdoor location. In fact, it's booked eleven months in advance on weekends already. (If you're interested it's worth a call to see if someone cancelled.) I love their idea to have a long weekend wedding. With people traveling from afar for the wedding, why spend one night together. Why not spend a whole weekend together? There are hotels nearby in Troutdale 10 minutes away for older family members that can't camp or those that don't care for camping. Within a thirty minute drive are lots of hikes and waterfalls or downtown Portland for visitors to explore. There are numerous spots that overlook the Sandy River and the beach on the river has a pavilion with a giant fire pit and warming log ovens. My friends are planning a whole pig roast here. Up at the main lodge is the big hall with a hidden kitchen area. It has high wood beam framed ceilings with tall windows. It also has a nice back deck for enjoying the fresh air and cocktails. Behind the lodge is an outdoor pizza oven pavilion next to a charming grape arbor. I can't wait to use that! To the side of the lodge is a cute fishing pond fed by a natural waterfall with a gazebo. It's undergoing renovations right now, but will be fantastic when finished. The gazebo is apparently an awesome spot to put the bar so adults can mingle and relax away from where the kids like to cavort. In front of the lodge is a large lawn edged with giant cyprus trees, perfect for large ceremonies. There are also a couple of other nice locations along the river or in a meadow for smaller ceremonies. There's so many great spots for wedding photos, the photographer will go crazy: the grand porch, the waterfall, the grape arbor with twinkle lights, the gazebo and pond, riverside on the beach, at the caboose, or, heck, even shooting on the archery court. We will be decorating with twinkle lights near outlets, candles in mason jars hung in the trees, banners, garlands, and flowers, just enough to make the natural setting pop. Oh, and we will whip up a special flag out of some nylon and paint for the flag pole. There's basketball, archery, baseball, volleyball/badminton locations. I think it may be bring your own equipment or rent it though. I will find out and post an update. There seems to be good hiking through the fern forest along the Sandy. There's two classrooms where day care will be hosted by family friends over the weekend in case parents want to adventure. Other than the wedding day, time will be spent larking about the property perhaps even doing a scavenger hunt. Camp-style bunk-bed cabins can hold 144 guests. It's communal bathrooms, camp style, but the maintenance is good. There's a few rooms in the main lodge with an extra entrance of their own. Also, a caboose with beds is tucked in the forest by the archery range. If an arrow goes awry, the steel will protect you. You are also welcome to pitch tents where you like. They also just put in new mattresses on all the beds. It's going to be an awesome camp adventure wedding weekend. Going old school for the wedding!

We rented the entire camp for the weekend, including all cabins and most buildings for our guests, and were blown away by the accommodating staff, gorgeous grounds and rustic experience.

This was the perfect venue for two Portland natives who love the outdoors. Thank you, Mary Jo and team, for a truly unforgettable weekend at your stunning property!

Andrew made it very special, he was attentive, and made sure we had the best time possible. We had previously done Alien Zoo, which was also fun, but Malice Manor was deliciously macabre. The area is not the best so I would recommend to go during daytime hours.
