About this property

Guests love this delightful multi-level historic Victorian urban retreat full of eclectic charm in Portland's premier dining and entertainment corridor.

This 5-bedroom, 2-bathroom home with a living room, oversized den, walk-in kitchen with butcher block island, walk-in pantry, dining room, back deck, sun room will give your group ample space to spread out.

**BRAND NEW hot water heater as of August 2023!

On the main level, enjoy two bedrooms, light and bright living room, large dining room and a walk-in kitchen. Upstairs, you'll find a unique oversized den and three more bedrooms. Enjoy our BBQ grill, comfy couches, BOSE Bluetooth speaker and blazing fast internet. But make sure to leave time to shop, dine, imbibe, and catch some live music just around the corner. On top of that, we offer private, off street parking for two cars so you'll never need to circle the block. Pack the cooler for a great day exploring the more than 70 waterfalls , trails, and amazing scenic views of the Columbia River Gorge, the Oregon Coast, or one of the many other great close by Portland neighborhoods.

If you're not wanting to drive, you should know that Portland is known for its amazing public transportation options, and we're about a 10 minute walk from the closest light rail stop. See Trimet for more information on local buses and light rail. There's are also Biketown bicycles for rent within a few blocks, and we're well situated to get around Portland quickly by bicycle.

So many local gems to explore, from Portland's food cart culture, to local music venues, to arguably Portland's best BBQ joint and fish tacos, to the great coffee shop and bottle shop just at the end of the alley -- all just seconds to minutes away on foot.

While we don't have central air conditioning as is common for many historic homes in Portland, we do have several portable and window AC units as well as a ceiling fan in the upstairs bedroom.

We're happy to answer questions and provide tips for enjoying this amazing neighborhood, and all of Portland. Please contact us for great ideas on outings, hikes, and other local activities.

Great Portland Experience

We had such a great time! This house made our trip-we were with our three children under 5 and my in-laws in their 70s and this house worked for everyone. The location was also amazing! Such an easy walk to great restaurants, coffee, and bars. It was also fairly easy to get places around Portland from here. We will recommend for anyone going.

Good location

This was a cute old house that was well stocked! The location was great for restaurants and shops. The stairs were a little steep and there is no bathroom upstairs which could be difficult if you had little kids or older adults. We didn't need the upstairs bedrooms so it worked ok for us.

Great location, charming house

My small family had a lovely reunion here. The first-floor bedrooms were great for the elders; our 11-year-old loved the cosy little bedroom on the second floor. Fantastic location in a wonderful neighborhood with plenty of top dining, shopping, coffee/tea, and other walkable destinations, and not far from almost anything in Portland. The house is old and there are some idiosyncrasies (no bathroom on the second floor) -- we love an interesting house. The house is beautiful and the owner was always helpful.

Lovely home away from home

This house is charming and comfortable. Great upstairs for the teens and two bedrooms for adults on first floor. Kitchen well stocked and easy to use. Location was great - close to transportation, variety of restaurants, and shopping. We managed without a car pretty well for most of the trip. No problem with parking when we did have a car.

Great Stay in Portland

My three friends and I had a great experience staying at the Spacious Urban Retreat. It was very comfortable and in a great location for us to enjoy the local area and be able to branch out to the mountains and the sea coast. The kitchen was well supplied to meet our needs. All of the beds were comfortable and the bedding and towels were plentiful. Access to cleaning supplies and the washer and drier was very helpful. Great local eateries and nice shops to explore.

Nice large home with everything you would need that is located in a fun neighborhood.

The house is very spacious. There was plenty of room for the 7 adults and 3 month old baby. Bedrooms were a good size. The 2 bathroom/showers easily handled our large group. The kitchen and large kitchen table made for many big meals. Two coffee makers (pod and drip) were very nice to have. The kitchen is equipped with a nice supply of pots, pans, dishes, coffee cups, drinking glasses, etc. The large dishwasher worked great. The washer/dryer really came in handy during our 6 day stay. The property has a nice front porch and decent sized back yard deck with BBQ. There are two spots in the back for secure parking. Free, secured, high speed internet was a plus. Finally the neighborhood is really nice. The Mississippi shopping district is a block from the house and has many fine shops, bars, restaurants, and convenience stores. It is a short tip from the house to downtown Portland. Overall this is a very nice home in a great neighborhood.

Cozy home in a great neighborhood with lots of room

We were a group of 5 friends (professional women in our 30s) spending the weekend together and this was a perfect property for us. It has a full kitchen if you want to cook, and it's also walkable to tons of restaurants if you don't want to cook. There was plenty of space so none of us felt cramped. Everyone liked the place and we would definitely recommend it.

Wonderful Stay in a Charming Home

Thank you very much for our stay! The house is charming, and we loved being able to use the large kitchen to cook meals for many people. The house is very spacious and accommodated our group wonderfully. All of the details were worked out ahead of time, and there were helpful notes throughout the house with instructions. We especially loved the patio outside - many thoughtful touches from the owners! I absolutely recommend this property for your stay in Portland.
