Beautifully remodeled historic home

Beautiful oasis in the city. The house is comfortable and well appointed with everything you could need, and the back garden area is magical.

The property was beautiful. The backyard was incredible. The beds and bedding were very comfortable. The kitchen had everything you could want and lots of silverware and cooking utensils. The bathrooms were a little small but it was not a problem for 5 of us. The location was very central to the whole city. I will use this property again when I come to Portland if it’s available.

A Beautiful oasis in a lovely Portland Neighborhood

This extraordinary Property was a lovely oasis for our family. It is very close to restaurants, shops, and activities. The interior was tastefully appointed, and every room was spotless. The property's highlight is the backyard, surrounded by lush plants, affording complete privacy. A place to gather with family and friends, this property will ensure your comfort inside and out. We highly recommend it. Thank you, The McLaughlins!

The home was immaculate. The beds were very comfortable and the linens were soft. There were plenty of blankets and pillows. Each bedroom was upstairs and they were all furnished in ways that were unique and classy. There were restaurants within walking distance. The backyard is amazing! The trees and other plants create a sense that you have left the city. Not sure about where the vineyard is, but we didn't need it.
