About this property

10/10! Traveler's Haven in Historic Kenton

Bring your families, friends, or colleagues together for work or play! This smartly remodeled and spotless sanctuary welcomes you with character and comforts for your Portland retreat. This 1911 house is loaded with character and thoughtful amenities. This animal-free, smoke-free space has been carefully designed to provide comfortable stays for guests on vacation or traveling for business.

Guests have private access to the entire house (except the basement), the front porch, the driveway, and the back patio. Guests share the use of the back garden with the hosts who reside in a tiny home in the back of the property as well as utilize the basement of the main house (as a note, there is no access from the basement to the main house where guests stay). The hosts enjoy the opportunity to meet guests and share helpful resources to improve your stay and also greatly respect the privacy of our guests.

The house is steps from quaint Kenton Park and business district with restaurants, taprooms, and coffee shops. 7-minute walk to the Max light rail station takes you downtown in 20 minutes. Also close to multiple bus lines. Convenient home base for excursions to the Columbia River Gorge, Mt Hood, and Vancouver, WA.

We stayed at this home for 6 nights. It was the perfect place to stay. It's a very convenient location and close to a grocery store and other great places to eat. The hosts were great and the house was very warm and welcoming. We 100% would book and stay here again.

Love This House!

Thank you, Jenny and Zak for providing us with such a wonderful place to stay . The house was easy to find and in a great neighborhood. The first floor is decorated nicely and the furniture is very comfortable. The bedrooms upstairs are perfect. We appreciated the extra touches like the fans in the bedrooms, the magnetic knife board and the Neutrogena face wipes. The towels were lovely and fluffy. When we come to Portland again we will stay at Traveler’s Haven.

Top Notch

I have been using short term rentals for vacations for years. This home was by far one of the best. The location was perfect for our extended weekend stay in Portland. Jenny & Zak went above and beyond regarding supplies. I really do wish I could have stayed here longer to enjoy all the fun amenities in the home! I have already recommended this place to so many friends & family!

The Right Choice

The property was correctly described on the listing. Everything we needed was provided. The house was super clean, new appliances. Everything in excellent working condition. The host is extremely attentive to detail and the only occasion in which I needed support he was super helpful and hospitable. Parking provided, easy access to the Highway and town. I strongly recommend this accommodations for anyone who wants to feel at home away from home. I will definitely stay here if I'm back on the West Coast. FYI I went to a Mariners game, Mount Rainier, Glacier Lake, Pike Market and Silver Falls State Park

Excellent accommodations!

I enjoyed my stay very much. Although I was travelling by myself this trip, I would definitely bring my family to this house when I next needed a place to stay in the area. Very clean and spacious with three separate bedrooms (very nice and comfy mattresses!), an updated and well-set up kitchen, and a nice living room and backyard for relaxation. I did not have a car but found the neighborhood peaceful and easy to walk to local restaurants and coffee shops. The local park has a playground that always had families playing and baseball practice fields - lots of dogs having fun too! The hosts are very responsive and helpful and they have created a welcoming space for their guests. Full disclosure: the neighborhood is by train tracks so you can hear trains coming through, including their horns for crossings. I personally find train horns in the distance relaxing, so it didn't bother me at all.

The house was clean and very comfortable. It was located in a beautiful neighborhood that was quiet and felt very safe. Access to public transportation was easy, only about a half mile from the property to the nearest Max station. Plenty of shopping and a variety of good restaurants nearby. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything that we needed. We will definitely stay here again next time!

One of Portland‘s best values!

This house is a 10 minute walk from downtown Kenton. About 11 or 12 minute walk to the MAX station. Beautiful Kenton Park is less than two minutes around the corner. Quiet neighborhood, clean and well kept.

Convenient short stay VRBO!

We were 4 mature adults visiting Portland for a quick weekend to see a theater production at University of Portland. The VRBO was meticulously cared for. Everything was clean and neat. The owners were respectful and responsive. It met our needs for a quick weekend in which we were not cooking a lot and/or hanging out at home. It met our needs near the University, but it was more convenient than cozy. The neighborhood was quiet, except for the trains, but we knew about those ahead of time so we expected that. There was a park within a quarter mile, but there were homeless camper trailers lining the street adjacent, so the park was not alluring as a place to walk. I may have missed it but there was no aluminum foil or plastic wrap or ziplock bags for leftovers. So just an FYI to bring your own. We really appreciated the cleanliness and convenience.

Jenny and Zak love the opportunity to host guests in their N. Portland and have been AirBnB superhosts since 2019.

The Pacific Northwest has become a very special and breathtaking place for us to call home, as we explore our newest midlife adventure - tiny home living!

We enjoy meeting new people and making new friends, as well as experiencing different cultures, landscapes, and foods! Jenny recently explored her 50th U.S. state - Alaska! - in her 50th birthday year. Next on the list? Morocco or Norway.

As hosts, we look forward to being part of your travel journey.
