Great stay in Milwaukie

Nicest VRBO we have ever had

Wife loved it and said it was the nicest place we have ever stayed. Picked because it is near Reed College (where niece is studying) while we explored Portland. Very comfortable with all the usual amenities and little extras like boxes of tissues. Felt more like housesitting for family than staying at some stranger's condo. Will definitely try to stay again next time we are in the Portland area..

Great Stay!

We really enjoyed our stay here, the house was clean, beds and couch are extra comfy, the yard is a great size and the house was really well stocked (pantry, plenty of extra towels, etc. ). The host was so quick to respond to our questions and so accommodating.

Great Place to Stay

I came to Portland for a long weekend to visit my grown kids. This place was just right. It was roomy, clean, and comfortable. It had ample living room seating for a family get together (with 4 adults and one teen). There was a small liquor cabinet, and my husband enjoyed making himself a cocktail when he arrived. My husband and I took the downstairs bedroom with the queen bed because we didn't want to climb up and down the stairs, but my teen was really happy with the king bed upstairs and private little "chill area." (There is another room with bunk beds, but we didn't use that one.) The kitchen table only had four chairs, but we rolled a computer chair in from another room and were able to all sit down together for a dinner. The neighborhood was quiet, and I liked seeing people out walking their dogs or just getting a little exercise. To get into downtown Portland, I didn't have to fight traffic--all I did was take the Max. This house is within walking distance of the end of the orange line, but you can park in the covered parking garage if you prefer. It's really convenient: a train leaves about every 20 minutes or so. It wasn't the right time of year for grilling or enjoying the back yard, but I could definitely see being able to enjoy a nice summer evening outside. This is definitely a place I would come back to!

Comfortable and clean

This house is in a nice , quiet neighborhood where you see people out walking their dogs or just walking to enjoy some fresh air. We were easily able to use the orange Max line (just down the hill) to get into Portland and home again without fighting road traffic. The house itself has an ample living room, solid Wi-Fi, and three bedrooms. The upstairs bedroom has the king bed, a TV, and a little “chill” area, but we let our teenager have that space for some privacy, and because we wanted to be on the main floor near the one bathroom. We didn’t use the third bedroom at all (but it has a bunk bed and would be great for kids!)! A nice surprise was that there was a small liquor cabinet, and my husband was able to mix something interesting when he arrived. Everything was clean, and we enjoyed our stay! It’s definitely a place we would come back to.

Perfect For Our Family Trip!

This home was beautiful and spotless! It was perfect for our family trip to Oregon. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the couch was great to lounge on after a long day. The property was easy to access via door code and the neighborhood was nice. We took the kids trick or treating on Halloween and felt right at home. Hosts were easy to communicate with and provided more than ample necessities. I would highly recommend this home!

Beautiful residence close to Portland

Our family was pleasantly surprised to discover this quaint and clean house south of Portland and a five minute walk to the light rail. All of the beds were very comfortable everything is updated. You have everything you need to enjoy your stay in the area. The owners are very communicative and we will definitely be staying again!

Nice place!

We were in town for a concert in Portland, and this house made more sense than paying for hotel rooms. So many amenities! Blazing fast internet, office w/ desk, well-stocked kitchen, central A/C, super comfortable beds and sofa, what appeared to be an OLED TV, and a large back yard complete with a deck, BBQ, dining table, and fire pit.
