Lovely Location & Hosts

A beautiful guest house with a light and airy small kitchen, a pretty view out the back, and beautiful woodwork inside. The hosts are delightful and provided a stocked kitchen with starter food items that would work for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We loved our time here!

A lovely place for Christmas!

My husband and our three small kids stayed over Christmas. Trudi and Dennis were so welcoming, and the house was cozy and warm. The kids LOVED all the toys, and the house even got us started with milk, eggs, and bread in the fridge. We will be back!

Wonderful Getaway

What a fantastic place! The hosts were so kind and made us feel right at home. We enjoyed The Guesthouse and would definitely stay again. Wonderful location in a quiet and beautiful neighborhood. Downtown Portland was super close by and very easy to get to. Great place if you want to get to the coast and Mt. Hood in the same trip.

Super location in quaint Portland neighborhood

The property is charming and you feel as though you are in a tree house with all of the greenery outside. Hosts are friendly, accomodating and even had fresh fruit, cheese and lovely bread in the unit when we arrived, along with staples such as coffee, milk and cereal. We enjoyed are stay and conversations very much!

Portland visit

This home was the perfect stay for our family during our Pacific NW trip (7 people). The owners were lovely, the home was well cared for, and the location was quiet but close to so many things. We are so happy this place was a part of our family trip down the NW. Highly recommended.

Great place to stay

We loved our stay! The owners are very communicative. They left us some food items so we wouldn't have to go immediately to the store -- they left milk, eggs, fruit, coffee and some other basic items. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space for several people. The backyard was a great place to hangout. We will be coming back to stay.

Two thumbs up

The hosts went above and beyond to make the cottage comfortable and to provide some basic kitchen items so we didn’t have to go find a store late at night. I loved the two balconies and all the sleeping options and will be booking there again.

Multnomah guest house

Trudy and Dennis were most gracious hosts. They greeted us upon our arrival and bid us farewell upon our departure. They even stocked the refrigerator and pantry with essentials so we could enjoy breakfast and refreshments throughout our stay. Multnomah village is an eclectic enclave with great restaurants, funky stores and a great sense of community. Would definitely stay here again.

Weekend Getaway

Hosts Dennis and Trudy were VERY friendly. Easy check in/out. The home was stocked with everything needed. Not the newest property, but pretty clean and would be a good option for families with preschool and school aged children (lots of small bed space, movies, and toys). Some cobwebs, dust, etc. We were pleased with our stay for the price.

What a wonderful place.

This gem was everything we could hope for and more. Dennis met us when we got in at midnight and showed us around. They had some quality staples stocked (milk, eggs bread butter) and the kitchen is well equipped. Wifi was easy to access, sauna was dreamy and there are two secret toy filled rooms for yhe kids to play in. Baby gates on every staircase, cute little outdoor area in the back with more toys. Planty if seating for dining, comfortable furniture and all beautifully presented with the sweetest owners right next door, but not invasive. Highly recomend this for your next portland vacation!

Kind of a fairy tale experience!

We felt so comfortable and happy while in this beautiful 2 story guest house! Trudi and Dennis, hosts,are an absolute delight to meet.We loved the quaint, warm ambiance and the surprises that crop up at this home. Don't miss the upstairs bedrooms each of which have little play rooms for kids adjoining the bedrooms. Every kind of toy, doll, book can be found there, many are old fashioned and were sentimental to see. This place is a bit like going to your grandparents home in the old days. There are books in every room, something we enjoy. The kitchen is especially cozy and inviting. The host Trudi left beautiful flower arrangements in each room and even out on the patios table and chairs. We have never felt so well taken care of. They also left a few food essentials to tide us over that first night. We enjoyed the views and were very interested to learn the history of the two homes and the land surrounding. We should all be so lucky to have a VRBO experience such as this one. The hosts are wonderful and I found that I wanted to take them home with me.NOTE: For those of you over 65, (that includes us), you will want to sleep in the first floor bedroom as that is adjacent to the one bathroom in the home. Otherwise you will be going up and down stairs at night. The upstairs rooms are lovely and there is also a TV viewing area along with the sweet children's play rooms. Also one of the upstairs rooms has skylights to the stars over each of the twin beds. Enjoy!
