Kerri's home is beautiful. It's a turn of the century grand home. It's been updated in all the right places and is maintained very well.It's a short car ride (or moderate walk) to some of the great restaurants that Portland has to offer.Our family of 5 was very comfortable in the house. My son and his wife stayed in the upstairs apartment and it was perfect for them.It was my first time to Portland and it was enhanced by staying in this home. Thank you!

Close to everything

On a relatively steep hill with terraced stair entry from the street. Very close to freeway, Portland State University, and downtown. Has AC, which really came in handy for us.

Home away from home

We gathered our family from different parts of the country to celebrate our daughter's graduation from Law School. It was an amazing 5 days of togetherness, feeling like home. It allowed our large group to be close, yet everyone had space to be at their own pace ( family ranging from 22 to 84!). A wonderful experience with great memories!

Comfortable and quiet

Our family of 8 stayed for a long weekend. The house is spacious, comfortable and quiet and we all enjoyed the peaceful night sleep. We walked everywhere and the few times we needed a ride, Uber delivered. Saturday farmers market is only a few blocks away. We cooked meals and at the end of each night, gathered on one of the patios with a view to watch the sun go down over Portland. Thankfully, we also enjoyed the World Cup games on the TV. Great family reunion vacation!

Beautiful place within walking distance of downtown

Fantastic architecture and views. Great place for four lifelong friends to have a reunion. Very pleasant outdoor areas for conversation while enjoying the views. One observation: there are four nice bedrooms upstairs but only one full bath. No rooms are en suite. One half bath downstairs. Not a problem at all for us but helpful for larger groups to remember this. Without question we’d stay here again.

Thank you for your review. We will be happy to host your group again. Please note that this group cancelled the upstairs portion of the home offering the second full bathroom. The listing has been updated to include 2.5 baths and 5 bedrooms. Please see the photos and the description of the listing. Thanks

Gorgeous home, incredibly well maintained!

I live here in Portland, and rented this beautiful home for a weekend with 7 of my college friends. We were all thrilled with the home, the beds, the bath, the shower, the beautiful deck outside the breakfast room, the warm and cozy living room, and the spacious kitchen and dining room. Oh, and the soft silk rugs! Seriously, we've stayed at a lot of properties around the country in our annual girls weekend, and this house was definitely the best. So comfortable and luxurious and obviously lovingly cared for. The location is also ideal. PSU farmers market only a few blocks away. Just walk down 13th to the Pearl, and then easy access to the Alphabet district. Streetcar and Max are close by. We didn't get to enjoy the beautiful views of the city and mountains because of nearby wildfire smoke, but that would have been the icing on the cake. We hope to come back for another trip, hopefully this is still a VRBO for their next visit to Portland!

Best views in town!

This house is on a hill and has lots of stairs- if that doesn't intimidate you, you will be rewarded with a beautiful, vintage yet modernized home with fabulous views from many levels! Kitchen is updated and spacious and all the main floor entertaining spaces are large and roomy with comfortable seating and beautiful large windows. The woodwork and built-ins are gorgeous. The only negative is the dishwasher is very noisy so don't start until you are going to leave for awhile. Bathrooms have been updated as well and the towels are thick and fluffy and the water pressure in the shower is great. Bedrooms are spacious as well with great closet space and plenty of light. The master bed is due for a switch out- high center so it's not as comfortable as it should be. The location can't be beat- close to everything.

Thanks for your review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and that our home could be a place for everyone to gather for your daughters wedding. It truly looked like everyone had a great time. I am sorry you did not sleep well. I like very soft, but understand If you preffered a firmer one. It was only 1.5 years old but comfort to all our guests is important to me. I have purchased a brand new Seally Heartwarming mattrress to meet more of everyones needs and comfort. We want to insure everyone gets a fantastic nights sleep and wake rested to the view of the mountains and downtown Portland. The dishwasher has been checked and taken care of as well. Thanks again.

Wonderful house in SW PDX

We had five people stay at this very spacious house over the Thanksgiving holiday. It has been beautifully maintained, preserving lots of charming details. Bathrooms are remodeled very nicely. . Heating system very effective. The kitchen was very well stocked. We were able to cook several meals here. The location is excellent. There are amazing views on a clear day, easily walkable to Portland State University and downtown. There is highway noise, but none of us found it bothersome and we all slept well each night. Great contact with host. We were able to drop off luggage before check in which we really appreciated. We were asked to clean the kitchen, (or be charged an additional cleaning fee) which was a bit unusual. There was not access to a washer or dryer, nor could we find outside garbage cans. These were minor inconveniences that did not detract from our excellent experience. We would not hesitate to return the next time we are visiting Portland.

Thanks for your lovely review, we are so glad that you had a wonderful holiday and that our home was a perfect fit for you. To address a few comments: We have the garbage cans in the garage down the stairs and instead of asking our guests to take it down, we handle that for them. To maintain our high kitchen standard we spend a lot of time cleaning and detailing the kitchen between guests so we do ask those who use the kitchen to tidy up after themselves. Our washer and dryer are available upon request and we woudl be happy to share them when asked. We stirve to meet the needs of all guests and appeciate your feedback and hope to see you again soon.

A charming slice of 1914 Portland history!We had a wonderful 3-night stay at this beautifully maintained 1914 house. The character and details throughout were a treat!. You can tell the owners have taken great care to preserve the home's charm while keeping it comfortable and elegant.The kitchen was a real highlight for me. We were finishing up cakes for a wedding reception at a family member's house, and it had everything we needed to get the job done without feeling cramped or improvised.Beyond the baking, it was just a great space to relax in as a group. Plenty of room to eat together, catch up, and enjoy the details of the house. The location was ideal too, with quick and easy access to downtown, the Eastside, and Multnomah Village, which made getting around for our various stops simple.Highly recommend this house for a family gathering or special occasion stay!

Early 20th Century Charm and Views of a 21st Century City

We enjoyed 6 days in the home and acclimated to the robust steps to get fantastic views facing north-east over Portland. The classic yet open family and dining areas invited stay-in meals for all, with easy access to a modern kitchen. The private rooms were very comfortable. We hope to return!

Beautiful house - great location!

Loved the house and the location. Was perfect for our group of five friends meeting up in Portland. Everyone got their own bedroom which was great. Nice walking distance to stores and restaurants. Only limitation is small number of bathrooms but that’s common in older houses and we made it work just fine. Owner was good to work with - would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful home; fine location; wonderful on-site manager

The house is a testament to sensitive updating and the careful maintenance of a gracious and comfortable historic home. The property was spotless, walkable to downtown and a nearby MAX light-rail station, and offered wonderful views from its hillside location. If that weren’t enough, you won’t find a nicer or more helpful manager than Alyssa, who lives on-site in a separate apartment. We were a group of 4, all of whom would happily return to the Jacobberger house.
