We stayed at this property as a retreat-type trip. It had a great space for hanging out as a group indoors and outdoors as well as enough bedrooms to find a quiet space. The neighborhood was great, walkable restaurants and coffee spots.
We had an amazing time staying at this property! We rented both houses and it was set up so perfectly. Everyone had lots of space and the communal spaces to gather were great. Walkable to lots of restaurants, cafes, etc. We had a fantastic time!
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.
We were in town for a wedding. Many of the brides family stayed here. We could walk to all the wedding venues as well as numerous bars and restaurants. The kitchen in the back house was great for family dinners and games. Everyone loved it. So much better than a hotel.
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.
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.
This is a perfect setup for large groups. We had members of 5 different families in town for a wedding. There are great kitchens in each house and an excellent Mexican food truck next door. Had a wonderful time many bathrooms and beds. Michelle the host is very responsive and even sent some items we left behind. Highly recommend this property. We rented both houses but you can rent them separately.
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.
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!
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.
Wonderful setup for a large family. Very comfortable seating areas with multiple bedrooms. Property well located. Manager very friendly and responsive. Check in and check out seamless. Central place to hang out around kitchen both indoors and outdoors. We loved our stay. Highly recommend it.
Really great space for our large group. All the rooms were very clean and amenities were thoughtful. It’s a very ideal location in Portland, especially to great local restaurants, bars, cafes, etc. Highly recommend.
I loved this property. The thought in the design and amenities was perfect. We have enough private space and communal space for everyone. I highly recommend this rental. Very well done.
This was a perfect gathering place for our Medical Office’s Weekend get away. Home is clean and well maintained. Location is great with several food carts within walking distance.
Terrific homes to celebrate with friends & family!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Indoor and outdoor spaces offered plenty of room for gathering for meals, games, & conversations. Michelle, thank you for superior hosting and a beautiful property to finally celebrate our marriage two years later! Tracey & Tom
Two awesome buildings that were clean and very accommodating. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. Close to just about everything interesting in Portland, after a 5-10 minute Uber ride.
