To guests who value their privacy: no parties will have access to or view their IDs other than me in my one-person, one-location operation, as they are stored in an encrypted server that only I have access to, and no biometric scanning or analysis are ever conducted on any of them.

VISITORS. For this property to maintain its short-term rental license, it is required by the City to limit the total number of guests and their visitors on the property.

Because of this, visitors of registered guests may possibly be permitted onto the Property ONLY after guests have first checked with me about it. This includes any person(s) you may wish to come visit you or to assist you with checking in or out.

MAIL AND PACKAGES. If Guest wishes to receive mail or packages during their stay, they must have them sent to another address and not to this property.

CANNABIS. Consumption of medical and recreational marijuana (cannabis) is legal in Oregon. If you would like to smoke or vape cannabis, you may do so outside on the patio after first checking with me, in order to ensure that no other guests staying on the property at the time have expressed sensitivity to the scent.

Smoking or vaping of cannabis is not permitted inside the rental.

If you are sensitive to cannabis smoke, please let me know when you book so that I can ensure that other guests will not be smoking it on the property while you are here.

“Patio Sweet”
A very nice hideaway walking distance to the Alberta Arts restaurants, coffee houses and bakeries, Scott is a wonderful host and the Patio Suite was sparkling clean, quiet and comfortable. Loved the garden patio for hanging out. While we didn’t take advantage of the fire pit, we know it would have been an added plus to our weekend stay. It’s nice to know we have found the ideal spot for future visits to Portland.

Lovely stay in a very clean safe space! I was traveling by myself and I felt really at ease knowing that I could contact the owner with any questions and he responded promptly.

Clean quiet stay in a safe neighborhood
I stayed here at Portland Ecohouse for 5 days and loved every minute of it! The host is courteous and very responsive answering all my questions over text. The patio suite itself is nice and cozy. Nice clean linens and bathroom, great shower pressure, comfortable bed, fast internet. A nice bonus is the water purification system. I truly enjoyed every night i was there.

Pleasant stay in NE Portland
Spent five comfortable nights at Portland Eco House Cottage. Walked everywhere or used Uber. Delighted with cleanliness, everything I needed for my stay was at hand. Cottage is just as described by Scott, my host. Scott was available when I had questions. So many good restaurants in the area, I tried many of the suggestions In the handbook.

My comfortable 2 week stay
I stayed in Scott's patio suit during the blizzard while my home was being renovated. It was so cozy, and quiet, very private and much larger than I expected. It's also decorated very nicely, It felt like home immediately. It's right off Alberta so I took advantage of the square mile surrounding it full of neat shops, galleries and restaurants. Bring your bike if you have one, there's plenty of room for it in the large back yard behind a secure gate paved with beautiful stonework. The bathroom is huge, with a bougie shower, beautifully tiled with glass doors and accommodated with quality, natural, healthy soaps and shampoos. Scott was a great host, provided fresh towels and coffee when needed. He keeps the whole property meticulously clean. I'd rate my whole experience 5 stars, I wish I could have stayed longer

Treading lightly in a quiet, comfortable, friendly way. Great value.
If you're looking to relax and be comfy in quiet, private surroundings while treading lightly during your Portland visit, this is the place. The great value price comes with expectations: That you'll be mindful of your impact on the planet, on other guests, and on those who clean up after you. The owner has made it as easy as possible to do this. Beautifully furnished indoor and outdoor "hanging out" spaces. Very comfortable bed. If this is your mindset you'll love it here. Will most definitely stay here again if I can.

Fantastic Design and Location
I needed a place to stay last minute in Portland, and stumbled on this absolute gem. Specifically the Patio Suite, which suited my needs perfectly. Not only did the host, Scott accommodate my late night reservation, it's clear this is a labor of love for him and he cares deeply about providing guests with an unforgettable stay. The location was also awesome, within walking distance to many of my favorite spots in Portland. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to get a proper taste of this wonderfully weird city.

A welcome last-minute find
I was coming back from a shortened backpacking trip with my partner, and we just happened to luck into Scott's Patio Suite. It was a perfect place to stay for two nights and visit our old Portland Haunts. The AC worked well. The bed was very firm (just be aware - I personally loved that). Even though we didn't get to backpack, this suite was a good consolation prize and I would recommend it to anyone who has the opportunity to stay.

I Didn't Want to Leave
Thank you, Scott, for a delightful stay. I was so comfortable and relaxed at the patio suite; I was disappointed to leave. Next time I’ll stay longer than two nights. Some highlights: • The bed is cozy! • I felt safe to leave the door and windows open at night to let the breeze cool the room. • The bathroom is beautiful. • All the directions in the binder were clear and thorough. • I loved sitting on the porch in the mornings to drink my coffee and write. • Even though you weren’t home, your texts were kind and helpful. • I could park my car right in front of the house. • I walked to several places for food, used books, and coffee. You have designed such a sweet space behind that gate! It was quiet and secluded and beautiful. As a woman traveling alone, I take care to find places where I feel safe. This spot was just right.

My wife and I were only in town for a couple days for a wedding and loved the Patio Suite. Very clean, very nice. Close to some very cool restaurants, highways and the airport. Scott was very attentive and checked on us throughout our stay to make sure we had all we needed. Perfect for a couple looking to get away and explore Portland. Thank you Scott for everything!

Awesome Place
We stayed in the Patio Suite and had a better time we could have hoped for. Its description of quiet and secluded is 100% accurate, entered from a big beautiful sunny patio, and it's located right by every neighborhood bar-restaurant-shopping experience we could have wished for, too, allowing us to walk everywhere and leave the car behind. Scott is an awesome host, making sure all is well while not being overbearing, and his guidebook in the suite contains a lot of great info about the neighborhood, and he provides a lot of magazines and brochures of things to do in town and in surrounding areas. We plan to stay in the Portland Eco House again - thanks Scott!

Host profile image
A Warm Welcome To You!

I’m an easy-going guy with some world travel under my belt who very much enjoys hosting guests arriving from all over the country and globe to explore magical Portland and its environs.

While natural and sustainable living is a work in progress, it did become part of my DNA from an early age and it sits at the fore of what I try to bring to the Portland Eco House.

So it can’t help but give me immense pleasure knowing that my guests are relishing this eco-oriented effort at the heart of the safe, secure and peaceful solitude that the Portland Eco House accommodations are here to provide.

Having lived in Portland for a long time, I know the city and region well. While giving you all the space you need, I am friendly and welcoming and, if you ask, I am always happy to provide tips on whatever local sights or activities you may be in the mood for, or to help you figure out logistics. So please feel free to ask if you see me around doing maintenance or yardwork, or text or call me.

If you are vegetarian, vegan, or just curious about or enjoy plant-based cuisine, I have been vegan for decades, and being tuned into the plethora of plant-based shops, restaurants, bars, and food carts in town, I will be glad to point you towards where you can grab the kind of plant-based grub you might be craving.
