Kandra was super responsive to all our questions as well as a couple of changes we needed to make prior to our stay. Was definitely a cute & quaint cottage as described, fun games, nice patio with firepit & spa, felt nice and secluded yet close to everything!

Thank you so much for hosting us! We had an amazing girls weekend and even made friends with a raccoon that visited while in the hot tub 😍 will definitely be back!

The Fern Cottage was absolutely perfect for us! My husband and I were visiting for a wedding and planned on lots of hiking and site seeing. The rain put a bit of a damper on that, but we really didn’t care in the end because the cottage was so cozy! We watched movies, ordered food and had the best time. The hot tub was a great addition, the bed was so comfy, and the skylights were dreamy with the rain. Kandra was incredibly proactive and helpful with an internet issue. We had it resolved in probably five minutes. She has supplied everything you’ll need for your stay. Would absolutely stay here again if we visit the area!

This spot is such a gem. After a long week of camping and backpacking fern cottage had absolutely everything you could ever want to just kick back and relax. I especially appreciated the gated back yard, washer/dryer, and the well stocked kitchen. I will be coming back here next time we pass through town.

Loved this beautifully decorated home with a peaceful outdoor area to relax in. Enjoyed the shuffleboard, hot tub, and spa shower too. Close to great restaurants - enjoyed our morning walk to the local coffee spot.

This cozy cabin was everything we wished for and more. It was so nice to stay here! Kandra was extremely responsive if we needed anything and it was a great peaceful home base for us as we explored washington and oregon! Would definitely stay here again and will be dreaming of returning. Couch is SOOO cozy for movie nights after long days!

We absolutely loved our stay at Kandra’s Airbnb. The property felt like a dream cottage—peaceful, cozy, and full of charm. The hot tub was clean and easily accessible, which made it perfect for unwinding together. Inside, we found everything we needed: games for fun nights in, remote-controlled AC and fans (which we really appreciated), and a fully stocked kitchen with a microwave, stove, silverware, and dishes that made us feel right at home. The bathroom was one of our favorite parts—modern, clean, and super relaxing. The location was also a huge plus: it was close to a dispensary, a store, and a gas station, which made everything super convenient. You can tell so much thought and care went into the space. This was truly the perfect place for us to relax and recharge. Thank you, Kandra!

Fern Cottage was a wonderfully tranquil little retreat during some work travel. Its former life as a yoga studio definitely shined through and overall was just a very peaceful stay. With a couple dips in the hot tub and the beautiful shower inside, any stresses of the day just melted away 🧘‍♂️ Whole space really is privately fenced off from the main property/house, and other than a shared driveway Fern Cottage is really a private standalone space Would absolutely recommend a stay for visiting Vancouver, or even Portland if you’d like to see the city but struggle to find somewhere not so chaotic (which is what we did - the drive into PDX in peak traffic/work hours was only about 20-30mins, after peaks 15-20mins!!) 😊 We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider booking again should we find ourselves back down in the area❤️

This spot was lovely, I wished I could stay longer after my visit was up. Excellent choice if you like privacy and nice hosts. The accommodations are top notch, Kandra has thought of every possible thing one may need. Lovely!
