We gathered for a family reunion. The house is immaculate. There was fresh coffee and a bottle of wine waiting when we arrived. The layout was perfect for our family gatherings. Spacious and comfortable bedrooms. The family room was exceptionally laid out with a large dining table, lots of seating and even games and toys for the children. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we could want. Walking the neighborhood to parks and restaurants. Convenient to the airport as well as downtown. We couldn’t have asked for a better place.

Great stay

My large family stayed at the house for my daughter’s graduation from college. It was a wonderful home to accommodate such a large group. The home is beautifully maintained and was perfect for our large group. The owner was super responsive and accommodating when addressing a small issue that came up. Although the weather prevented us from using the yard and rooftop deck, those were wonderful features of the property as well.

Perfect house for a group get together

I organized a college reunion of 9 friends and Catie's house was by far the best option I could find in Portland. Every single member of the group was wowed by the home, the beds were comfortable and the main room was perfect for meals, movies and the addiction of the game of Risk provided. We were minutes away from many food options, breweries and a $10 uber ride to the middle of downtown. We would absolutely stay again in the future

Excellent Expereince

Our team booked this venue for a company planning session, and it was absolutely perfect! The space was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped for both work and relaxation. The layout provided plenty of room for breakout discussions, and the common areas were great for team bonding. The kitchen was stocked with essentials, making team dinners easy, and the outdoor space was a wonderful bonus. The host is incredibly responsive and accommodating, ensuring we had everything we needed. Highly recommend this place for any group retreat or business gathering or just a staycation—our team left feeling inspired and refreshed! Thank you, Catie! Looking forward to using this venue in the future.

Fabulous place to stay

My husband and I spent a wonderful week here with our adult daughter and her boyfriend while visiting family in Oregon City. We could not be happier with our choice. The spaciousness of the main level is just stunning. The plants and decorations were lovely. We slept extremely well in our beds and all of the furniture was equally comfortable. Nice weather allowed us to enjoy the rooftop deck. The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful to look at, gorgeous houses and flowers everywhere. Every day we took long walks around the area. Many thoughtful extras are provided which was appreciated as we had traveled from Baltimore. Having a driveway to park in was great for our rental car. Hands down the easiest check out procedures we have ever come across. The highlight of this place is the closeness to the shops and restaurants on Alberta Street. We could have happily stayed a month, just to continue dining out and trying more places!

perfect group getaway

we had a lovely stay at the villa, the house was perfect for our needs - a girls' weekend trip. the one thing to note would be that sound from upstairs travels quite a bit to the downstairs, so if you you have wildly different sleeping schedules and light sleepers it might not be the best, but it wasn't an issue for us! otherwise the house was nice, clean, and well stocked for our purposes. would definitely stay here again!

The hosts were quick to respond to any questions and needs. The location could not have been better for easy access to downtown, the zoo, coffee shops and restaurants. Easy trip to and from the airport.

Terrific Place for our 9 Family Members

The Villa is beautiful, with great spaces to cook, and gather together for meals, etx. The beds and rooms are all excellent (always important!) and all the amenities are lovely. Communications were always timely and check in a breeze! We could not have enjoyed our stay more. 9 family members had come west from the NYC area for a family wedding, and the Villa was perfect for a few days to relax before the big weekend.

The house was very good. We were looking for a roomy quiet vacation and this was it. Easley to communicate with the owner. The only issue really is the homeless situation /in Portland and the fact that there was a homeless camp directly across the street while we were there.

Caleb and I come from Ohio. So sure, we love Ohio - but love the PNW more. We are thankful that we now call Portland our home.

For fun - we hike A LOT, spending time in the forests with our dog around Mt Hood, in the Gorge, or on the coast. I enjoy practicing yoga and am a certified yoga teacher. Caleb plays and loves ice hockey.
We aim to be super considerate and delightful guests when we rent and to provide a clean, rad home when we host.
