About this property

Private, comfortable, Hillsdale Apartment

Light, airy, and cozy apartment, with separate bedroom, with Queen Size Bed, can become your oasis away from home. Whether you need to relax from a day of sightseeing, decompress from a stressful work experience, enjoy a necessary respite from life's challenges, or just kick back after visiting family, this comfortable apartment will help you find the peace and solace you seek. Located in a very quite residential area in Portland's west hills, you will enjoy both expansive vistas and the sense of a forested preserve around you. While only 10 minutes from the center of a large bustling city, you may awaken to the sight of deer sauntering outside your bedroom window.

The fully equipped kitchen is complete with a double-filter drinking water faucet, a Keurig coffee maker, Krupps Drip coffee maker, and a French Press coffee maker. An outdoor grill is available. You may wish to enjoy sitting or dining on the fully covered and secluded patio or enjoy the open patio/ rock garden with fire pit.

The Apartment now has all LED lighting, new high-efficiency and low-flow toilet and shower, recycling and composting available, and ensures that your stay has a low environmental impact. Cleaning supplies that are used to maintain the Apartment, and supplied personal cleaning supplies, are organic and allergy sensitive products.

Amenities include: off-street parking, high-speed WiFi, HDTV with 31+ local stations, Blue-ray/DVD player with Unlimited Netflix Included, linens and toiletries, hair dryer, and iron/board.. The neighborhood shopping area includes a natural food store, several restaurants, Sunday farmer's market, salons, banks, and a public library. National chain food stores are just a few minutes away.

There are private and public recreational facilities only 5-10 minutes away; day memberships are available.

(Limited to 2 adult occupants. There is only one queen-sized bed.)

NOTE: Bookings for 31 days or more are exempt from the lodging tax.

(We keep the calendar current. If the calendar shows availability, please submit your booking request.)

Wonderful stay

Carol and Arnie are wonderful hosts. Our 20 year old daughter had an internship nearby and it was the perfect spot for her to live for the summer. Their gardens and hummingbirds are beautiful, and they took the time to make sure our daughter had everything she needed. The apartment is the perfect size for a couple or individual to live comfortably. Their artistic decorating adds a special touch. Highly recommend!

Lovely, comfortable apartment!

This apartment was perfect for a stay of over a month. Small but completely comfortable for a single or a couple. Kitchen had good amenities except missing a usable freezer and counter space is limited, but no problem for shorter stays. The hosts are wonderful, attentive and accommodating people - 10 star rating for them!

Best Home Away From Home Ever!

It would be hard find a better place than this Hillsdale charmer. Tucked in the hills of Portland, this beautiful apartment is only enhanced by the wonderful grounds that surround it and the incredible hosts, Carol and Arnie. Flowers, trees, views on the outside and all the amenities inside make this the perfect place to tuck in and feel like home. I was even treated to an owl hooting hello in the night! Comfortable and clean, the apartment had everything I needed for my five week stay as I waited for my new home to be completed. I'm local and this was only nine miles from where I lived but it was a new neighborhood to me and I'm so glad I found it! Don't miss this gem.

AMAZING!!!!

Carol and Arnie are wonderful, always willing to help, absolutely adore them, and loved my time staying with them. I stayed at their house for almost 3 months during an internship and could not have asked for a better experience.

Beautiful property in a fantastic location

This apartment is in a quiet residential neighborhood and the property itself has amazingly beautiful gardens to enjoy. The location is perfect for anyone visiting Portland or the surrounding area. We used it as our home base while visiting family and taking in the sights of Portland and the surrounding countryside. Arnie and Carol have done a great job outfitting this apartment with everything you might need during your stay. Super clean and comfortable. I highly recommend this property.

Whether you are traveling for a visit to OHSU for business, health services, education, or simply to take in all that the amazing city of Portland has to offer, Carole and Arnie's Hillsdale retreat is a place of comfort, quiet, beauty, and safety. I will stay again.

Great place

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful spot. The garden area around the house was amazing. This place is in a great neighborhood in a hilly area and the apartment is in a private spot on a hill. The area was quiet and there were places to sit outside if the weather allowed. The apartment was great and had everything we needed. A perfect place to unwind and relax. Everything was clean and well kept. The kitchen had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable. The living room area had comfortable chairs for relaxing and reading. The owners provided lots of material to read about the area and on what to do around Portland. There are lots of beautiful parks close by for hiking and it was an easy drive into downtown Portland. The owners were very responsive and made sure that we had what we needed. Thank you for a great stay in Portland! Julie and Bruce

Excellent location, great smaller sized home away

The problem with a positive review is that you don't want to not be able to book a great place if you plan to return. We plan to return, but I'll go ahead and state the truth. This is a wonderful, quiet, comfortable place for two to escape and relax. We used it as a home base while visiting a family member in Portland for medical reasons. Easy access to OHSU. Off street parking. Smaller but more than adequate. Has a nice living room to relax in the morning, especially if one of you is still sleeping in the separate bedroom. Smallish but very well designed bathroom and kitchen that function quite well. Feels very separate from the main home, so not crowded nor intrusive in any way. The location is in the hills just off Hillsdale, so incredibly easy access to several restaurants minutes away and very close to Beaverton or downtown Portland. If you hate driving in Portland, this is an easy "get too" location. While we were gone most of the time and did not interact much with the hosts, they made directions and support very clear. They were incredibly kind enough to text and warn us that the snow was getting heavier and to be aware. They shared better alternative routes and did everything possible to make sure we were comfortable and safe. For the record, snow was minimal and we had absolutely no issues, but sincerely appreciated the thoughtfulness of the hosts. So, excellent overall. Now, please, just don't book it for when we need to travel back to Portland.

Had everything we needed. We spent a week over Christmas. Very nice, peaceful and quiet location. Most of our time was spent with family away from the apartment, but when we were there, we were comfortable and slept very well. Thank you and Happy New Year.
