Slow and coastal
Twelve in a Craftsman, a Pottery Wheel, and a Three-Hour Dinner
A craftsman house in Alberta Arts, twelve beds, twenty minutes from PDX. The pottery studio is BYOB and takes fourteen, so it covers everyone with room to spare. Ox runs three hours and never feels long — book it before you land.

Questions
- Do we need to rent cars?
- One or two is plenty. PDX is about 20 minutes from the house, and the Alberta Arts neighborhood puts you close to most of it. The Willamette kayak trip and the Rose Garden both need a short drive.
- Half of us land at night. Where do we eat?
- Nostrana runs its kitchen until 11 PM on weekends, which makes it the reliable late option. Confirm when you book — hours move around.
- What's actually good to do with twelve people?
- The Powell's Books scavenger hunt takes 20 and gets more competitive than anyone expects, and the pottery studio takes 14. The International Rose Test Garden is at its best May through September and costs almost nothing.
