About this property

CIty Forest Retreat

Close to city...but not too close. Relax in the comfort of a fully renovated "rear windows" apartment, overlooking towering cedars and Douglas firs. Birdwatching, urban hiking and easy access in all directions. Close to highest viewpoint in Portland. Kick back and relax in this calm, stylish space. During colder months, enjoy remote controlled gas fireplace while you read or binge watch your favorite shows in the living room.

Cozy forest bungalow outside Downtown Portland!

The house was immaculate and James and Heather were amazing hosts. We didn’t expect to spend a lot of time at the VRBO while in Portland, but we ended up spending most of our mornings here drinking coffee and staring out into the beautiful forest. And when we did leave, it was an easy 10 minute Uber into the city. Such a wonderful place to spend a few days!

Super place for adult couple who wants quiet accommodations

This was a great place for our stay while grandson graduated from college. Comfortable accommodations. FANTASTIC shower!!! Beautiful setting. We never saw any deer, but did see a coyote several blocks away. Easy access to Interstates, downtown, Multnomah Village. Did I mention the wonderful shower? (Worth mentioning more than once.) The owner even left some nice treats for us! We heartily recommend!
