We took a guys trip down for a brewery tour, and their house was perfect for us. Plenty of sleeping arrangement options, GREAT updates to an older house, and has a very cozy feel. The piano and pond were my highlights! Even ended up meeting John and his wonderful family upon our departure! If the area fits your needs like it did ours, I recommend this home to anyone! Thanks again guys!

Ok, so I absolutely loved it & the owners, BUT.... [I hate to leave this review but as I personally saw that corrections were made from the previous review... it needs to be done, plus once corrected it will show how great the owners are!] I DO RECOMMEND staying at this wonderful house! I believe the next visitor can post a review stating that MY issues were not THEIRS. Just like the previous issues were not ours. I know with everything there is a learning curve, so don't let this review stop you!!!! It's a beautiful, upgraded, 100+ year old house with gorgeous wood floors, nice relaxing back yard with a short walk to Sellwood Park (3 houses down), & lots of shopping, restaurants, plus a cute little movie theater. It is truly an amazing area with kids playing everywhere. Definitely a family neighborhood. ***I think my favorite thing about the house was that every room was a different vibrant color! ***Favorite thing about the neighborhood were the signs that most of the houses had in their yards. 'In Our America' which is about how All people are equal, black lives, love wins, women, immigrants/refugees, disabled, diversity & the planet! Very welcoming & loving sign! Now for the [correctable] 'issues' I had... *** The floors... no shoes in the house, so I felt every piece of dirt and could not find a broom or a vacuum. *** The dishes... every dish (no exaggeration) plus the pots & pans were filthy! There was no way I would/could let my family eat or drink off of any dish until I washed them. That I couldn't understand at all! *** The windows... screens would've been wonderful! The room that looks out to the backyard has so many windows but NO screens! ????? What an amazing breeze you could get if you could open all the windows. [No screens = flies & moths, which we had some] I was really wanting to open those windows but couldn't. Especially the upstairs windows to let out the hot air that accumulated there. As I said before ~ the owners were AMAZING & the house was AWESOME. Only a few minor things that are easily correctable! I am sorry to post this, but since I don't know you personally ~ to keep you honest about the corrections, posting is the best way. With the corrections, you will be one of the best rentals on here!

Great location and nice home, but owners need to put more effort into the rental. Towels and sheets were clean but we'll used. Soap was used and had hair on it. Kitchen and glasses needed to be cleaned.

The house was perfect for my family trip to Portland! It fit my family with the added benefit of being right next to a park which was great for my son to burn off some energy after the flight. Sellwood is a fantastic neighborhood with lots of cool shops and cafes, just around the corner from the house!

We enjoyed our 4 night stay in this very nicely completely renovated home in the Sellwood. It is a nice walk to the old town area of this historic community, and to a park nearby. This home is the personal residence of the owners. Therefore everything we needed was there, as we did some of our meals there. Being senior citizens, we did find going upstairs to the master suite a little challenging, but very manageable, as the stairwell is narrower and steeper than new construction. The heated floor in the master bath was very nice. Take your slippers as all the floors are wood, and the owners park their shoes at the door. We did too! We will definitely rent the house again when the need arises.
