This is a new private residence on a wooded acre only a short drive from downtown, short walk to great restaurants and miles of paths begin just down the block. Clean and tranquil, our goal is to provide a 5 star experience in a fully furnished home.
The space
The Guest House is a 900 square foot independent and fully furnished dwelling located next to our home on a forested acre in the outskirts of NW Portland (about 5 miles over the hills of Forest Park from "the" NW Portland neighborhood). Our neighborhood is quiet and full of wildlife from deer, a blue heron, and wild rabbits. At night you may hear the coyotes however you will rarely see them. The neighborhood is nestled between busier neighborhoods which bring small restaurants and shops close by as well as easy access to great running & biking paths. There are large windows in all of the living spaces that look out over the green space and trees. The bedroom has blackout shades should you need to sleep in or during the day.
The Guest House is an ideal home away from home for someone working at Daimler, Nike, Intel, or any local company. We have upgraded our internet to 1 GIG to accommodate working from "home." It is an ideal space for relatives or grandparents who are in town to visit, but would like their own space. The dwelling also serves as a wonderful vacation spot for people who would like to explore the greater Portland area. It is a location from which you can take day trips to the coast, Mt. Hood or wine country.
Guest access
The Guest house is a fully equipped one level house with an attached garage (space for up to a midsized vehicle). The Guest House will be the guest's private space during their stay. It is a separate space connected to the primary residence only by a covered patio. A garage door opener and keys will be provided during the stay.
No access to the primary residence is allowed.
Other things to note
Having a car is recommended.
We have what would be an underground pool on our property that is functionally a fish pond. It is not beautiful, however it does attract a blue heron who will sometimes stay all day and feed on the goldfish (hopefully not catching the koi). Eventually, we will have a pool with hot tub;-)
