This spacious, comfortable well-appointed two-bedroom, one bath home is the perfect place to land in Portland! A short four-block walk from the University of Portland, the Art House is a convenient launching pad for any neighborhood you’d like to explore in the city – just to start, you are near the St. John’s, Alberta Arts, Mississippi/Boise, Overlook and downtown neighborhoods.

Called the Art House, the 1924 bungalow showcases art and designer furniture by some of the area’s best artists. You can simply enjoy the art, you can purchase it (all artworks are for sale), or you can book an art class during your vacation with the owner, whose onsite studio is in the garage!

There is plenty of space and all the amenities you need to make the Art House your home away from home. The home is fully air-conditioned and heated.

One off-street parking space is available, and there is plenty of street-side parking in this peaceful and quiet neighborhood. You will sleep soundly!

- "10/10" - "5/5" - "This location was so close to all of the things we wanted to do in Portland, we will be trying to stay again in the future. Perfect size for 2 adults and 2 kids, clean , cozy and so accommodating! Thank you for the treats!" - "Jim & Julie are outstanding hosts, ever responsive, but not overbearing. The complementary wine, chocolates, etc. made the tiny house feel like a boutique hotel, but without neighbors on the other side of the wall! The decor and furnishings were luxurious, too. We are a family of four good size adults (tallest 6' 4") with luggage and groceries, so two nights in this petite home was just right for our needs. A longer stay would be just perfect if you have two smaller kids. Thank you, Julie & Jim!"

Portland Short Term Rental Permit #17-224543-HO

- "Very nice home" - "The size of this VBRO is impressive for how little the nightly price. Communication was beyond impressive and probably one of the best I have received in all the years I have used VBRO. The beds were super comfortable, and the assortment of games allowed us to have a one of a kind enjoyable family night. Overall this place is a true hidden gem. I use the word hidden because the only downfall I had was, wasn’t actually the VBRO itself- its was how far it was from downtown. It’s not necessarily close to downtown at least with the directions it took us to get there. A long road of switch backs at a very slow speed."

- "I'd strongly recommend this spot to anyone looking to stay near the University of Portland. It's a short walk to the university, or an even shorter walk to a number of restaurants and bars. The space was immaculately clean, check in could not have been easier, and communication with the host was nearly instantaneous. It's a good amount of space with just about any convenience you could want. In-unit laundry and plentiful charging cables were especially nice touches. The weather was also blazing hot during our stay, but the unit stayed cool throughout."

Your cozy getaway awaits in Portland at this marvelous apartment. With a serene bedroom featuring a comfortable king bed and a gorgeous bathroom with a refreshing shower, guests will feel right at home. Whether you're staying for a weekend or an extended trip, our place is equipped for both long or short stays to make your holiday one to remember.

This is a quiet and incredibly comfortable home with all the bells and whistles to make your stay enjoyable.

Your privacy Is Important

I give you all the space you need. Some areas are shared (kitchen and garden).

Designed With Comfort In Mind

If you have not slept on a Tempur-Pedic mattress with adjustable bed frame you are missing out on the best sleep of your life. Seriously. I had a guest say, “I never sleep till noon.” Another guest, “The mattresses are oh soooo comfy.” The sofa bed is just as comfortable. I have had guests comment, “The sofa was so comfortable I did not have to use the bed.”

The Bedrooms

There are two in all. The first is an extra-large master bedroom with two huge closets, luxury firm mattress with adjustable bed frame, dedicated office space and a full length mirror in the closet you can move anywhere in the room. There is, also, a glam mirror with adjustable lighting.

The second room is a living room/ bedroom with a kitchenette (two refrigerators and a microwave), a closet with shelves and clothes rack, a wall mounted 42” Sony Smart TV and coffee table.

Kitchen Is Fully Loaded

It has everything you need for cooking and includes a coffee and tea station and small appliances like a toaster, bread machine and rice cooker.

Bathroom

This has a shower with tiled walls and river rock on the bottom for a bit of a foot massage. While you are massaging your feet it is a good time to take in the fragrance of fresh eucalyptus.

Laundry Area

Has a full size washer and dryer.

Garden

Large private garden perfect for pets or just relaxing. I have had guests meditate, enjoy their morning coffee while getting some work done, sip wine while enjoying a fire and just hang out.

Entrance

As you open the door you will enter a mud room where you can hang jackets and backpacks. The door has a code for entering and auto locks when shut. The weather stripping at the bottom of the door is snug to the floor to keep debris, rain and snow from coming inside.

Parking

Free parking on street or driveway.

Your Host
Loves animals and has two small poodles, Buddy and Lulu. They are older dogs. Two bunnies, Patches and Snowball, are kept in host’s private yard.
