About this property

Welcome to Tandem House! Family-Friendly, Southeast Portland Gem!

Tandem House is a perfectly-situated sweet little abode; excellent for families, couples, and friends! Very walkable and highly desirable Richmond neighborhood boasts close proximity to all of Southeast Portland's many coffee shops, world-class restaurants, plethora of lounges and bars, and restorative outdoor spaces. We're just around the corner from Clinton Park, which is an amazing outdoor space to take the kids or the pets!

We are only an 11-minute walk from the Hinterland Bar & Food Carts, an 8-minute walk to Benbear's Beers and all the food carts at The Lot on Division, a 3-minute car ride to the famous Bagdad Theatre and Pub and all the amazing restaurants, bars, arcades, and public spaces that the Hawthorn and Division streets have to offer! If you're feeling adventurous, a short walk or drive (it's 1 mile away) brings you to the base of Mt. Tabor; the 196-acre city park that is perfect for a hike, a picnic, or a bike ride.The 360-degree view of Portland from the top is incredible!

Our home offers enough space for everyone to feel at home, while also showcasing her 95-year-old charm. During your stay, you'll notice the original wood floors, the glass door knobs, built-in-place cabinetry with the original leaded glass in the dining room, and the coved ceilings. We think she's pretty great!

Welcoming you as you come inside, you'll see the comfortable seating in the living room. Please make yourself comfortable! Our smart TV allows you to access all your own streaming services easily. The dining room offers seating for 6 and is a great place to play one of the many games or puzzles we offer, or to enjoy a homemade meal prepared in our well-appointed kitchen. Our large picture windows offer views of mature trees right across the street, and they're beautiful in any season! You'll find two bedrooms with super comfortable beds and luxury linens that will offer a restful nights' sleep. They both offer king sized beds. **Please note: Access to the sitting room with space for an additional guest is obtained by walking through one of the other bedrooms, but it does have doors that close it off. This set up makes for a perfect "family suite."

Our backyard is fully enclosed and is a great space to play with the kids. While enjoying the private back yard space, you'll be able to see a variety of local plants and succulents lovingly planted around the perimeter of the yard. When you're outside, you'll undoubtedly be visited by the two juvenile crows that were born in the pine trees behind the house last year. Their names are Cheryl and Russell (get it? they're crows...) and they love peanuts. You'll find some in the kitchen cabinet above the coffee pot. You can throw them out or lay a few on the railing outside the kitchen door and watch them collect their treasures through the kitchen window. It's really neat!

The attic and basement are our personal spaces and therefore, access is not permitted. Access to the garage is reserved for the owners, as well. Thank you for your understanding!

We love our home and hope you do, as well! We also love our neighbors and our neighborhood. Please be respectful while you're here. While we don't have cameras inside our home (we respect your privacy), we do have cameras and noise monitors outside. Please limit your outdoor merry-making to reasonable hours and make sure you observe quiet time after 9pm. **Please understand that if you fail to be respectful of that rule, and our few other rules, you may be asked to vacate our home. Thank you for your understanding and thank you for visiting us at Tandem House!

Great dog-friendly place close to SE Portland highlights

This is really a charming older home. It was a comfortable place for us to stay while visiting family and exploring Portland. The owners have really prepared their guests for all things the dog owner might need, including gear and treats. We will definitely stay here again the next time we are in town!

Great stay

This house was charming and cute. It is in a quiet neighborhood, but not far from restaurants or other places (not close to downtown just FYI). The owner was quick to respond to any messages. Check in was easy breezy. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Very thoughtful about things. Labeled things to make it easier to find.

Great house in great neigborhood

Excellent SE PDX location. Walk to Clinton Park and use the playground, dog friendly and relax. Walk to 50th and Division for many restaurants and coffee. Home is clean and bright, off street parking and even central AC which seems to becoming a must in Portland.

What a lovely gem!

The house is absolutely adorable! So tastefully decorated and the beds and sheets were like sleeping on a cloud! Perfect size for our group of 6 adults and the keyless entry is so futuristic! I have never stayed in a rental home that had more kitchen supplies and utensils than even thought we’d need. It was stocked completely with spices and oils. Ashley was an amazing host! Very responsive with any and all questions. I’m giving this gem 10+ stars if I could! We’d definitely stay here again!

My introduction to living in Portland!

My stay in Ashley’s beautifully maintained two plus bedroom home couldn’t have gone more smoothly. Great host information on arrival….a local wine left on the counter…wonderfully comfortable beds…and off street parking…it was ideal. My 12 pound maltese appreciated the park near by and i appreciated how safe the neighborhood felt! The only slight issue was the one bathroom if more people staying…it was pretty tight! Oh…did i mention the private fenced backyard… for kids or pets..or a barbecue!

Tandem House

Hint: instruction booklet is not out in the open. It was in a cabinet. We did not discover it until our last night. It was very nice of the owners to leave snacks & the kitchen was well stalked. We had to reach out to the owner & she was very quick with a response. We would have preferred coffee to be stalked rather than snacks though. Great house.

Host profile image
We are a family that loves to be together! We travel, try new foods, play all the board games, and generally love making memories together! We hope your family loves our home as much as ours does :)

Why they chose this property

We love that we are in a quiet and safe neighborhood, full of families, but that when we're ready to hit the town, we needn't go far! All the hot spots Southeast Portland has to offer are a 2-minute car ride away. Or if you're feeling up to it, walking is great, as well! Our walk score is 88 and our bike score is 92, so you can accomplish much of what you want to without having to get into a vehicle!

What makes this property unique

Our home has been lovingly cared for over generations and across multiple families. We are honored to continue that tradition and are proud of her beauty and age. She isn't big or glamorous, but we think your time in our home will be one filled with really memorable moments.
Our fully-enclosed backyard is a safe and secure place for your kids to play and for you to make lasting memories together.
