Great location
Such a cute place and a great location for exploring Portland. Easy access to freeways to visit wine country, the Gorge, and everything in between. Thanks for a great stay!
This was a great location for us. We were visiting our family who live only minutes away. Cozy place, nice big yard for Easter fun.

Nicest VRBO we have ever had
Wife loved it and said it was the nicest place we have ever stayed. Picked because it is near Reed College (where niece is studying) while we explored Portland. Very comfortable with all the usual amenities and little extras like boxes of tissues. Felt more like housesitting for family than staying at some stranger's condo. Will definitely try to stay again next time we are in the Portland area..

Great Stay!
We really enjoyed our stay here, the house was clean, beds and couch are extra comfy, the yard is a great size and the house was really well stocked (pantry, plenty of extra towels, etc. ). The host was so quick to respond to our questions and so accommodating.
We had an amazing experience during our stay in this Space .The location was fantastic, spacious, clean, equipped kitchen and owner was always responsive to any questions. Overall our stay at this property was outstanding. I would honestly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable place away from Home.

Comfortable and clean
This house is in a nice , quiet neighborhood where you see people out walking their dogs or just walking to enjoy some fresh air. We were easily able to use the orange Max line (just down the hill) to get into Portland and home again without fighting road traffic. The house itself has an ample living room, solid Wi-Fi, and three bedrooms. The upstairs bedroom has the king bed, a TV, and a little “chill” area, but we let our teenager have that space for some privacy, and because we wanted to be on the main floor near the one bathroom. We didn’t use the third bedroom at all (but it has a bunk bed and would be great for kids!)! A nice surprise was that there was a small liquor cabinet, and my husband was able to mix something interesting when he arrived. Everything was clean, and we enjoyed our stay! It’s definitely a place we would come back to.

Perfect For Our Family Trip!
This home was beautiful and spotless! It was perfect for our family trip to Oregon. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the couch was great to lounge on after a long day. The property was easy to access via door code and the neighborhood was nice. We took the kids trick or treating on Halloween and felt right at home. Hosts were easy to communicate with and provided more than ample necessities. I would highly recommend this home!

Beautiful residence close to Portland
Our family was pleasantly surprised to discover this quaint and clean house south of Portland and a five minute walk to the light rail.
All of the beds were very comfortable everything is updated. You have everything you need to enjoy your stay in the area. The owners are very communicative and we will definitely be staying again!
