Brick House Beautiful apartment is a wonderful place to stay when visiting Portland. I truly felt like it’s a home away from home. Everything I could’ve wanted or needed was there. Bob and Ann were most welcoming, giving a tour of the house and telling me of the history, which is fascinating.The location is perfect, and the neighborhood is great for walks.
Great place to stay! I will be back!

The hosts are very kind and accommodating. Without us asking for an early check-in, they called us to let us know that we could check in a few hours early and provided both written and verbal directions for easily entering the apartment. Bob suggested some places we could visit, and his choices proved to be excellent.This charming apartment in a beautiful, historic house has everything one could need: a complete, cute kitchen with a stove, oven, microwave, coffee pot, utensils, dishes, pots and pans, and more, a washer and dryer just for guests, soft linens and fluffy towels.The bed is very comfortable, and I noticed that we slept about two more hours than we do at home. (I guess it's time for us to get a new mattress at home.) There is plenty of room for bags and clothing, a TV visible from bed, and a glimpse of the lovely garden out back. A large variety of pretty plants on the property adorn cute seating areas.The beautiful home is in a leafy, upscale, quiet neighborhood that is only about 2-4 miles from scores of restaurants of all kinds-Thai, Indian, Seafood, Mexican, burgers, steaks, and more. It is also near all kinds of coffee providers and bakeries, Whole Foods, and Trader Joe's. It provides easy access (a short drive) to Washington Park (and others) the zoo, Japanese garden, Rose garden, and close enough for easy day trips to GORGEOUS Silver Falls State Park, other waterfalls, and more. You will not regret choosing this lovely property!

Staying at “Brick House Beautiful” was truly a joy! The English cottage apartment is decorated in a charming vintage style. We appreciated the well stocked kitchen, Keurig pods, very comfortable bed and all of the little touches that make you feel at home. The gardens and outdoor spaces are beautiful and lovingly cared for. Bob and Ann take great pride in their home, are attentive to their guests and easy to communicate with. Thank you for making our time in Portland so memorable.

Wonderful find and a great value for the money!

I had a last-minute opportunity to fly into the airshow at something fun in Lakeland and found that nearly every hotel within an hour was fully booked and the few remaining rooms were going for three to 400 a night.I was delighted to find this clean and cozy little camper RV trailer with plenty of room for myself another person and even two children if I had them along. It was in a nice shady drive right next to a wonderful families home and a quiet safe neighborhood. I strongly recommend and will certainly stay there next year when I’m in Lakeland in town for the same convention

Quaint and quiet

Had a lovely stay at the private cottage, I was in town for a practicum and was able to walk 30 mins each morning regardless of weather and Laurelhurst neighborhood was beautiful to walk. Bob was friendly and greeted me upon arrival. And once I settled in I had complete privacy, it was exactly what I needed after long days of social interaction. The courtyard is so peaceful and beautiful. Hope to visit again next time I make it to Portland.

Gorgeous property

I enjoyed my stay at this historic beautiful location in a lovely neighborhood in Portland. The owners were very responsive to any questions I had. The unit had everything I needed for a stay. The kitchen was outfitted with all you need to cook(not that I did!). Coffee and tea were provided, the spice rack was loaded, instant oatmeal and popcorn to pop were in the cupboards, and a small basket of treats was left on the kitchen table for me. I never rented a VRBO that was so organized with labels on all the drawers! Fans and heaters were available if needed. I only wish I was there when the garden was blooming. It looked so inviting with a lot of outdoor furniture to sit in. Hopefully I’ll be back!
