About this property
Tranquil Forest Escape-Extended Stays Welcome
The Stonehouse is truly unique and rare. It is a perfect blend of city life and woodland serenity. From your private patio, you can enjoy the enchantment of the forest. Spring and summer there are boulders covered with emerald green moss and flowers blooming, fall is vibrant with maple leaves everywhere, winter has its snow and frost. Just imagine sitting on a large mossy boulder engrossed in a good book, or swinging on an adult-sized swing and feeling like a carefree child again. Turn on the patio party lights and invite your friends over for a delightful dinner outdoors, sit by a crackling fire roasting marshmallows. After dinner, take a short walk up the path, located just above the driveway, to the lookout over Oregon City This gem is inside Waterboard Park, just above historic Oregon City (which won the 2018 Great American Main Street Award!). A garden path leads you to your private entrance. The living room has comfortable chairs perfect for curling up with a good book or watching your favorite show. If you’re into cooking or barbecuing, the kitchen is well stocked to get you started, including a convection oven and a full-size refrigerator. We think you’ll especially love the quiet and comfort of your bedroom. There’s no road noise to disturb your sleep, and we’ve got blackout curtains, pristine white sheets, lots of pillows, and extra blankets to ensure you have a great night’s rest. If you want to explore the city, take the bus to Portland or stroll to downtown Oregon City by elevator. You’ll find wonderful restaurants, bars, and shops there. It doesn’t get much better than this! Come see why we call Oregon home. We’d love to hear from you!

Great hosts, very responsive. The apartment is very comfortably and attractively furnished. The kitchen is well stocked. The yard and neighborhood is so inviting - great views and a hiking trail right at the top of the driveway.
Hidden little stay in beautifully manicured woodland garden! Hosts Steve and Marlaine were so friendly and hospitable! Near a walk to an overlook to Portland and the mountains.
The accommodations were very nice. Welll equipped kitchen, nice living room and bedroom and the yard was beautiful. The outdoor scenery cannot be beat. The hostess was very friendly and helpful.
We truly felt the Stonehouse was our home away from home! From the beautiful outdoor area to the comfort of the home, we enjoyed everything! We highly recommend this property. We also appreciated the warmth and hospitality of the owners! Thank you!
The address says it all. Cleaved out of an old quarry and on the brink of a gulch, every facet of this expansive and comfortable retreat is a pleasant surprise. An accessible private wilderness in the heart of things.
”We are in our happy place”. The sign in the bedroom describes exactly how we felt when we stepped into this slice of heaven in Oregon City. A warm and friendly greeting from our hosts at a cozy and well appointed cottage, and an outstanding outdoor space that can’t be rivaled. We look forward to our return. Thanks for everything.
From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that made us feel right at home. The property was clean, comfortable, and equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The thoughtful touches and attention to detail were evident throughout.
The homeowners were incredibly friendly and responsive, always available to answer questions and offer recommendations. Their kindness truly made our experience even more special.
The VRBO was great. The kitchen was fully equipped and the location was perfect. It was a quiet neighborhood and easy walking distance to the historic town. Owners were very accommodating when we needed the table extended to fit my kids to have dinner with us and when the automatic lock malfunctioned at 10 pm so we could get back into the unit.The only minor issue was that my wife and I are very light sleepers and eventhough the Owners were very quiet, we were still able to hear their footsteps. Would completely recommend this VRBO to anyone who needs to stay in this area.
We were looking for a cozy reading retreat/ getaway and this was the perfect place! The area around the house was a beautiful, quiet forest, which we really appreciated. The fire table was really cozy to relax outside and read!
We throughly enjoyed our stay at The Stone House. It was just as pictured with a beautiful yard and fabulous patio area. I appreciated how clean everything was in the house. The owners were very responsive and friendly. We would stay there again!
What a treasure! The stone house is in a beautiful setting and is thoughtfully designed. Marlaine and Steve were helpful and gracious and always ready to go above and beyond. Can’t think of a better place to stay!
The rental is secluded and quiet, clean and well equipped. The outdoor environment is astonishingly beautiful. The landscape is amazing. Marlaine and Steve made everything easy for us.
