It is located 1/2 mile from the University of Portland and 1 mile from the quaint neighborhood of St. Johns with a variety of restaurants, cafes, pubs, and parks. The beautiful St. Johns Bridge and Cathedral Park are just a 1-mile walk from the home.
The nearest grocery store New Seasons is located just three blocks down the street and McKenna Park is just one block behind the home. Fred Meyer shopping is located just four blocks away. There is a designated off street parking spot for two vehicles .
The property is located just three blocks from the TriMet bus stops which connect to the city's Max light rail line which can transport you to all parts of the city.

Wonderful repeat stay

My wife and I had another great stay here. The small house is wonderfully maintained and is a great place to relax or have it be your temporary home while you explore. Also the hosts left many thoughtful snacks, drinks, and wine which was a nice surprise. We’ll be back.

Perfect Stay in St John’s

This is a wonderful property that met our every need. Beautifully designed, it allowed my husband and I to spread out. It is impeccably clean with a terrific kitchen. Most important for us, it’s an easy walk to shopping and getting around. Julie and Jim are fabulous to work with and very generous. Thank you for everything!

Amazing Little House

Julie & Jim were amazing host. We traveled from Florida for my daughter’s family weekend at the University of Portland and we couldn’t ask for a better location. The drive was less than 5 minutes and the house had everything you could need. Plenty of towels, toiletries, and snacks for my teenage son. My wife was astonished by the little details of the decorations. The communication with the host was the best, we came on a rare snow storm and they kept us updated on road conditions even offered the house for early check in and late checkout. Considering my daughter still has a couple years left @UP we will try and stay here again.

Portland Family Visit

This is a lovely property and Jim and Julie have thought of everything! I had to work, the WiFi and small desk were up to the rigors of Teams meetings. When I needed to make dinner, cabinet spices went beyond salt and pepper and the stove was top notch. When I had to do laundry, there was detergent. In short, it was like being at home but in a lovely small house. Will definitely use again.

This is our third stay at Jim and Julie's guest house and that says it all. They are always so welcoming and accommodating and the house is always spotless.
