The "Old Barn" in the woods. Peace, Romance, Ahhh

“Best property I’ve ever been to.”
— Recent guest on other platforms

“The location is unbelievable — like a mountain retreat in town!”
— Recent guest on other platforms

Welcome to The Old Barn, a truly one-of-a-kind retreat just minutes from downtown Portland. Tucked into the woods, this special space feels like a peaceful forest hideaway, yet the very best of the city is only a short drive away. It’s the perfect blend of seclusion, comfort, and convenience. Once you arrive, though, you may not want to leave.

The space

The Old Barn is full of character, creativity, and charm. Its eclectic design, warm atmosphere, and unique setting make it unlike anything else nearby. Surrounded by trees and nature, it offers the feeling of a mountain retreat while being just about 10 minutes from downtown Portland, Nike headquarters, the Rose Garden, the Japanese Garden, the Arboretum, Council Crest, and more.

Wake each morning to birdsong and enjoy the enchanting view from the deck. Keep an eye out for owls, eagles, deer, coyotes, and flying squirrels. It’s a nature lover’s dream. And yes… despite the wild feel of the place, there are still no elephants.

Inside, the comfort continues. The master bed is a luxurious king with a remote that allows you to raise the head or feet, plus a massage feature for extra relaxation. There is also a desk area with a foot massager, making it easy to unwind, work, or simply enjoy a little extra comfort during your stay.

Guest access

Guests have private access to the entire Old Barn, including the beautiful outdoor deck and hot tub, all reserved exclusively for you. The space is designed to feel peaceful and private.

Please note that there is another guest unit located down the hill, approximately 500 feet away, and that area is reserved for those guests only. For everyone’s privacy and out of respect for nearby neighbors, please do not wander beyond the designated area.

Other things to note

For the best hot tub experience, please rinse off before entering. To operate the jets, only use the blue spinning button to turn them on and off. The controls are sensitive and can be accidentally changed if other buttons are pressed.

For safety, please do not use the hot tub alone, avoid alcohol or drugs while using it, and limit hot tub sessions to 15 minutes at a time.

Pets are welcome with a one-time $58 pet fee per pet. For everyone’s safety and comfort, pets must be leashed whenever they are outside the unit.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a dryer, a fireplace, and an ironing board.

Super great spot

I liked the place. Was a super private place in the woods. Quiet and relaxing. Inside stairs were super steep but it was fine. Just don't get super drunk or high before you climb them and use the outside stairs if you feel it's safer. Had a wonderful time while on vacation in the Portland area

Private and secluded

We enjoyed our stay at the Old Barn! We had close access to everything, and it was nice to come "home" to a quite and relaxing place. I'm giving only a 4 star rating because it's lacking bathroom facility on second floor with the master bedroom.

Nice location for a book retreat..

Yes the review about noises in the wall upstairs is true, but didn't bother us.. we had a good time.. my only suggestion would be a tension rod and curtain or blinds in the big open bathroom window to help make the girls more comfortable.
