This beautiful newly built home is located in the quiet residential University Park neighborhood. Located within walking distance from a diverse offering of restaurants, bars, shops, and parks and only a short jaunt to the University of Portland makes this house a convenient place to stay while in Portland. It was thoughtfully designed with cathedral ceilings that allow for an ample amount of light. The light is easily filtered with motor operated blinds. When sleeping in the upstairs bedroom, you will awake to sounds of a variety of birds that dwell in the surrounding canopy of trees. This is a 2 bedroom 1 1/2 bath home with a separate gated entrance and private garden. It is fully furnished with all new appliances, cookware, and linens. It has a washer/ dryer, air conditioning, and a dual fuel stove. This 800 sq ft home has been tastefully decorated and is very inviting. 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. We are often available to welcome you to our property and can assist you with questions or needs that you may have during your stay. Julie, Jim, and McKenna

It was a wonderful place to stay. The property was just as described with extras I don’t usually find, like a basket of snacks and the most comfortable robe I’ve ever seen. The hosts were so friendly and helpful. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Hosts were helpful and friendly. The house was charming, clean and cozy. We had everything we needed as well as extra welcoming items like snacks and oil diffuser. We loved our experience.
An absolute gem of a place. The neighborhood is superb. The hosts are fantastic. The family and I thoroughly enjoyed our short stay and being able to walk to a craft pub that has loads of food trucks to watch the world cup was the best.
What a charming house! It is well stocked with all the comforts of home. It was immaculate and a great location. Jim and Julie were great hosts. We look forward to fitting stays with them!
Tidy, spacious, yet cozy house with a lovely little front yard. Felt very private and secluded, while also in a great location in the city. Kitchen was super functional, bathrooms and rooms were great, and there were 4 nice chairs to sit in and relax outside. Very nice stay, would definitely recommend !
We stayed for 2 weeks for a family visit. The place was perfect for our needs as we were able to easily visit our kids and also to have them visit us for an occasional overnight. The living area was comfy with the reclining sofa and the bed was great. Nice bathroom and kitchen, very clean and well-equipped. Jim and Julie were great hosts and added some thoughtful touches like snacks and a delicious bottle of wine. We would definitely stay with them in the future.
Beautiful furnishing and intentional touches throughout. What a peaceful space with windows and light while simultaneously private and cozy. We'll be back!
The place was perfect for us!Great location, near family and stores, but quite and cozy at night. Would recommend this wonderful guest house to any other family.
The place was outstanding literally only needed your toothbrush! The host were very friendly and checked in with us more then once to make we had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable and the recliners a huge bonus! I would definately stay there again!

About the host
Hosted by Julie and Jim White
We are two educators with a high school daughter. We purchased our home in 1996 and love this neighborhood. We recently took the leap and built this accessory dwelling unit-ADU in our backyard. It has turned out to be a beautiful and welcoming space. We look forward to hosting our guests.
