Perfect stay in Portland!

We were so happy to find this adorable house just two blocks away from the friends we were visiting in Portland. The house is impeccably decorated and spotlessly clean.

Loved the Dragonfly House!!!

This was the perfect place in a cute neighborhood and exactly what we needed for our short stay in Portland. Loved the character of the house which just added to the relaxing and welcoming feel. Andrea was a great hostess... she even checked in to make sure we had arrived and were able to access the property all right. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again the next time in we are in Portland.

Awesome location

I had an amazing stay at the Dragonfly House! I loved Kenton and the surrounding area. I had a rental and parking was ALWAYS available right out front which was my main worry and though a little up north for everything I was interested in the house was in the perfect location. Clean throughout and you can tell it’s kept that way! Definitely will try to book this same place for the next Indycar Portland GP

Perfection!!!

I had to come into Portland for business and always prefer to stay in a house rental over a hotel. This by far is the absolute best place I’ve stayed in to date! From the luxury linens; super comfy bed; kitchen amenities - the owners make a concerted effort to ensure the comfort of their guests, and their attention to detail is both impeccable and thoughtful. I couldn’t have been more comfortable or happier with my stay. A huge thank you to the owners for making a business trip such a pleasure. 10 stars! I’ll def be back… Kindest Regards, Lisa Postl Campbell

This was a lovely cottage with everything you would need. It was clean and cozy warm and close to the grocery store and restaurants. The neighborhood is very quiet and I felt very safe here. My son lives only a mile away, so it was very convenient for us to meet up. I had a very relaxing week.

Portland Graduation Weekend

The Dragonfly House was a perfect home base for a busy graduation weekend. It had everything we needed. It would also be a great place to stay for a relaxing trip to explore Portland. There was a very well-stocked full kitchen. Andrea has thought of everything!

first time Portland

Andrea was a joy to deal with, no problems with communication. Dragon Fly was as the pictures showed very nice. Lots of windows for natural light during the day time which we really like. All of the bedding's as well as the bed were fine. The kitchen was very well stocked. Very quiet neighborhood, did hear the train once and awhile no big deal. Grocery store and Starbucks were very close which was nice. The Dragon Fly is very well decorated and plenty of room for my wife and I. Lots of street parking even though the street is rather narrow. Would stay here again.

Our favorite

The Dragonfly House is probably the best ABnB we’ve ever stayed in. Super cute little house that is so well decorated it’s pretty hard to beat. This was our second stay, and certainly won’t be our last.

Great little house that was super clean and inviting! We didn't use the kitchen but as I nosed around it appeared to be well stocked, we could have cooked up meals easily. For us, it was a good location, close to our kids, for others maybe not so much. Located in the Kenton area it is in a quiet neighborhood with adequate parking. Way comfortable bed and nice shower!

This is an excellent choice to stay if you’re visiting the area with a spouse or partner. It had just the right amount of space for my wife and I. Andrea and Brad make sure the house has all the amenities you may need. There is plenty of things to do in the area. We enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to be back.
