PDX Launching Pad - 2 bedroom house in a close-in, quiet Portland neighborhood

Our duplex home is in a residential neighborhood - minutes from downtown, the Pearl District, and Portland's old-school Nob Hill. Our location is a perfect launching pad for all that Portland offers: great restaurants, our famous food truck scene, and the Pacific Northwest outdoors.

As vetted Hosts, we've created a space using our knowledge of what travelers look for when booking their next vacation - comfy beds and linens, updated throughout, private working space, and a small backyard with outdoor furniture.

Our rental is in a duplex next door to full-time residents in a quiet residential neighborhood- just a few miles from the city center. Easy access to the mountains or beach - only 90 minutes in either direction.

Recently the home was updated from top to bottom with our future guests in mind. We are set up to provide a great night’s sleep. We have super comfy mattresses, high-count cotton sheets, fluffy down comforters, and pillows. Each bathroom is stocked with thick cotton towels, soaps, and shampoo. Take a long shower or soak in the tub - you have access to both!
Here for work, we have a nice workspace set up in the primary bedroom with task lighting and a large desk. Or you can spread out in the dining room. High-speed internet is available throughout the home.
If you need to do a load of laundry, we have a washer and dryer on site and plenty of soap. A small iron and ironing board are also on-site to freshen up your packed clothes.
Our home is a great place to connect with your local family and feel like part of the community. We are located near Portland's prestigious St Vincent’s Hospital and the home is a perfect place to support a loved one - just a short drive or walk away.

This is not a party house or a place for large gatherings. We are respectful of our full-time residents and have quiet hours in place from 10 pm - 7 am. Ring camera enforced.

Our guests have access to the entire right side of the duplex - no shared space. The home has a small, private backyard through a sliding door in the dining room and primary bedroom.

We look forward to welcoming you to our place.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a desk and a microwave.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like onsite parking.

Comfortable stay in a great location

Just outside of Portland this home had everything my family and I needed. A stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and living room, clean bathrooms stocked with shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Jim and Shannon were very communicative for the check in process and let us check in early. The backyard was also private and peaceful with a hammock, table and chairs and fire pit. We couldn’t have asked for anything better!

Beautiful and serene

What an adorable place. I came to Portland for a surgery. The duplex was a 2 minute drive to the hospital which was ideal.The place is well laid out with a beautiful private yard. The perfect place for recovery.

We had a great time and got out and explored just as planned. Tillimook Forest, Cannon Beach, Pearl and Alphabet Districts, Japanese Garden, and so on. Thanks for the great home base!
