Our stay at the cottage was absolutely lovely! Bob personally showed us around the property when we arrived and was there for any questions we had throughout the stay.
The place itself is extremely cozy, and nestled into one of the quietest and most beautiful neighborhoods in the city. It was so restful, especially after full days of exploring.

This comfy basement apartment in the beautiful historic house was as advertised. We loved exploring Portland and surrounding areas then relaxing in the peaceful garden in the evening. Starting the day with tea and coffee in the morning was pretty good too. I have already recommended to friends planning trips to Portland.

Perfect respite after a long day of exploring! Cozy, comfy bed, beautiful neighborhood. Bob was welcoming and helpful. Offered not only side garden to relax but also large back yard. Thanks for your hospitality Bob and if I come back to Portland I will surely stay there!

Cottage was so cute, but the backyard is exquisite! So lovely to sit out there all times of the day. Bed was comfortable, quiet neighborhood, lovely area to walk. You would not be disappointed if you stayed her.
5.0
This property is very quaint and peaceful, although the apartment has no living room area - any lounging with a glass of wine has to be done on the patio which is very nice and full of plants and flowers, so it’s nice unless the weather is bad. If you are into old houses and architecture, this property is very cool.

We can’t thank Bob enough for your lovely stay. The location doesn’t get any better & easy access to freeways, shops, & restaurants. A truly charming, comfy getaway whilst enjoying PDX & every amenity a traveler needs. There are two types of STR owners. Those that enjoy providing a great experience & those that are only in it for the profit. This experience was the first!

Great location with easy in and out and access to major arteries. Nice quiet neighborhood. Only 5-10 minutes to our son’s house. Owner was easy to contact if needed and was helpful. The gardens were gorgeous. We had a very relaxing stay.

The guest apartment was perfect for me as i was in and out my entire trip. The apartment is on the side of the gorgeous home and was clean, well-stocked, comfy and quiet. Located in Laurelhurst, you are nearby everything you would need and only 15 min from the airport. Bob was a great host and I enjoyed chatting with him for the few minutes before I left to come home. Washer, dryer, kitchenette, plenty of towels, pillows, a few snacks, water in the fridge and although I did not cook anything, the kitchen is well-stocked. Highly recommend if you are traveling alone. Safe neighborhood and beautiful to stay in.

Had a nice time staying at this house. Laurelhurst is super pretty and was close to a lot of good food and neat stores. The neighborhood was nice to walk through and it was just a great break from the snow in my neck of the woods. House was as described, clean and cozy.

What a wonderful and quiet experience we had. We loved the vintage yet modern feel of this space. The place was close enough for a short trek to the train system where it was so easy to head into Portland.
A safe and quiet neighborhood was a welcome sight and would recommend this place highly!

Cute Retro
I loved the decor of this adorable place! It was very retro. We enjoyed our stay here. The owner was extremely nice and was available if we needed anything. We used Portland as a base to drive the Oregon coast and visit the Columbia River Gorge. This place was perfect and bigger than we expected. We would definitely stay here again.
