Inviting home in Portland

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this spacious and picturesque home nestled in the forest. Surrounded by nature and in close proximity to Portland's attractions, we had a wonderful time during our weeklong stay. Our host was amazing and ensured that we felt right at home. We would definitely recommend visiting this property if you are ever in the Portland area.

Tree House

Staying in this house was a delight! We felt like we were in a tree house, with the back deck and surrounded by trees. Getting into Portland was easy and quick. We also used Uber and door dash when we didn't feel like driving. The house is very clean and well appointed, and there is room for 3 vehicles. Very happy with our choice!

Portland stay

Overall the facility was the perfect size and location for our family trip. This was the first VRBO we have stayed at that we felt like a little uncomfortable, like we were intruding. It was apparent that someone lives there. The dishwasher was full of clean dishes upon arrival. We had to move things around in the fridge, bathrooms, and bedrooms to make room for some of our things. If you looking for a facility that is a true rental, I would not recommend this location.

A spacious, lovely house in a quiet wooded neighborhood

The spacious house had three bedrooms and a fourth room to be used as a bedroom. There was plenty of space to spread out. The kitchen was well furnished and a pleasure to use for our meals in. The house is in a residential neighborhood near parks. It was beautiful for walks though a steep grade for older people. The house had everything we needed for our stay, and Julia was an excellent and communicative host. We would love to stay again.

Perfect house for family

My husband and I rented this house for a visit to our family in Portland. Our plan was to have a perfect place to get together with them and cook and have fun. This was the PERFECT house for us! The kitchen was spacious enough for the family’s 2 dedicated chefs and the dining table big enough for us all. The living room was fully visible from the kitchen so the 3 kids could be seen and there was a tv room off the living room that they could hang out in but still be close enough to us. The yard is great with a badminton net and trampoline and picnic table and it’s completely fenced in. The bedrooms are all on the lower level. The neighborhood is sort of magic in a very wooded area with tall trees and deep valleys - very interesting and beautiful. It’s located close to 2 great parks and close to downtown Portland. We will definitely stay there again

Portland Heights Pickar Home Review

The Pickar home was in a beautiful, quiet, secure neighborhood. The property was a very comfortable size and layout for our stay. I was disappointed in the cleanliness of the entire home, but particularly the bathrooms and kitchen. The mirrors in the bathrooms were very dirty and lavatories and tubs needed to be cleaned. I was also a bit surprised at the amount of open/partially used food containers left in the refrigerator. The yard was completely overgrown so we couldn’t enjoy the outside area. All in all I would rate the stay as satisfactory but would recommend that the owner find a company to deep clean the entire property and possibly remove or lock away much of the personal items left in closets and bathroom cabinets and drawers.

Hello, I'm a writer, gardener, tennis player, and traveler. I love my adopted hometown of Portland, Oregon, and hope you do too!

Why they chose this property

Simply put, this home is open, spacious, tranquil, convenient, and absolutely gorgeous! It is totally ideal for groups of friends or families that want to be together in a comfortable, homey, setting with quick access to the city of Portland (5-minute drive from Alphabet District, Zoo, Japanese Gardens) or a quick drive to waterfalls, coast, or mountains. The kitchen is completely stocked with top-level appliances. There is a large dining table for everyone to gather. Four queen bedrooms and four bathrooms. Totally comfortable.

What makes this property unique

This stunning house is the *ultimate* gathering spot. If you want a spacious, private, tranquil getaway--just minutes from the city--this foresty hideaway is your place. If you want Portland hikes, shopping, or nightlife, it's right down the road. Everything is at your fingertips. Great for adults. Great for kids.
