My friends and I had an amazing three night stay here. We had a group of eight and we rented out both houses. We spent more time in the rear house which has the bigger living/kitchen area. This worked out well as we had plenty of space to hang out together, but also to chill separately when we needed to. I had great communication with Michelle throughout the entire process, and she was very quick to respond whenever I had any questions or requests.The houses themselves are well maintained and in a a perfect location. So many restaurants and activities within in a walkable distance or a short car ride away.I could not recommend staying here more highly.

Party of 11 in town for our daughter's senior college year showcase. Property is exceptional. TWO separate homes each with fully stocked kitchen. Spotless kitchen and bath areas. Walkable neighborhood with coffee shops and restaurants... the burrito/taco next door was exceptional. VERY convenient to highway. INCREDIBLE communication and flexible assistance from the hosts. Only item our party notices was some smells of dampness in a few areas of the property. If you live or travel to NW (rainforest in US, this is common. Opened windows and aired areas out to resolve. HIGHLY recommend.

Bachelor/ette Party

14 of us all had tons of room and bed space, no waiting for showers, everything we needed to cook and serve in the kitchen. Lots of storage in the bedrooms and even an option to drop luggage in storage before check in. We had places to park several cars. The walkable food, coffee, groceries options really sealed the deal for us and we had a ton of fun.

Great Location, Comfort, and Communication

My husband and I rented this pair of houses for a 35th anniversary celebration. The hosts were communicative, and the property itself was comfortable, spacious, and well designed. Most Portland sites that we wanted to visit were just a short drive away, and those who chose to explore on foot around the property found plenty to interest them, including a quirky taxidermy shop. We would definitely choose this rental again for a similar function.

Great Location

We had a large group (ten 18+, two teens, and two young toddlers) split between the two houses. The back house is the highlight. New, clean, fresh, and well-appointed. The outdoor living space between the two homes is great, too. The front house is older and it shows. There was a funky smell, particularly upstairs, that was fairly off-putting. Also, the beds could use some upgrading - they creak like crazy, so any movement by your partner is bound to wake all but the soundest of sleepers. But it does have two separate living areas, which allowed those of us in the front house to spreak out and never feel like we were on top of one another. Having parking and laundry available on-site was a definite plus. Altogether a great spot - would stay here again. Easy walk down to Mississippi street, which is full of shops/restaurants.

Amazing Getaway

We rented both houses for a four day family reunion and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! The property is clean and lovely, has an expansive supply of kitchen utensils, dishes, spices etc. along with everything you could need for linens and bathroom supplies. The outdoor table and seating areas between both houses provided a great additional area for relaxing and chatting while the dartboard and hula hoops entertained many in our group for hours! The decor is artful and lively adding to the charm of the houses. The neighborhood is walkable with many choices for dining and light shopping and the evenings were calm, and the nights were amazingly quiet! I wish we could have stayed longer and I was sad to depart from such a great stay - we would definitely rent this residence again from our great hosts Michelle and Klaas! Thank you for making this a most amazing getaway for our family!

Thanksgiving week with four generations

This was a great property for my extended group of kids, grandkids and great grandkids (20). There were enough beds and bedrooms, enough space to spread out and a great space to be together. With two kitchens our feast was easy to prepare. In the evenings there were games around the large table and kid movies on the second floor. With the airport being close, flights in and out were easy. We had a great, great time and hope to return in the future.

Beautiful House!

Great house, perfect for our work team. We had the whole property with one house for the guys and one for the gals. Grateful for the early check in.There was some heating issues when we first arrived, but prompt reply and solve. Parking was a little challenging since it's mainly street parking and two assigned spots, but we were expecting that. Maybe the website can show which rooms are in which house. Other than that, it was great and we will book again, especially since it's very close to our office.
