About this property

The Multnomah Guest House

A fully furnished two-bedroom, one-bath cottage. Old World charm, with knotty pine throughout, beamed ceiling, hand-scraped birch flooring, Persian rugs, antiques and original art. Two decks, upper and lower, with a propane BBQ, table and chairs for "dining out." A yard in back with regulation horseshoe pits. An exterior sauna for four! (see more below.) A city park with playground 300 feet from your door. A ten-to-twelve-minute walk to Multnomah Village, with its charming coffee shops, restaurants and pubs, antique shops, art galleries, boutiques and gift shops. And all within a ten-minute drive of downtown!

The house is filled with the things required for living: bedding, towels and washcloths, soap and shampoo, toothpaste, shaving cream, a filled
medicine cabinet, hair dryer, dish and laundry detergent, and so on. Three TVs, two with DVD players and one with a VCR, a classic movie collection of over 200 films (DVD and VCR), WiFi coverage throughout.

The kitchen (see picture 3)is a working kitchen, with everything that you have in your kitchen at home: a double sink, stove refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, coffeemaker, toaster, pots and pans, bread and butter, jam, vinegar and oil, sugar and spices, condiments, coffee and tea, on and on. It is meant to require of you only that you bring the main ingredients of the meals you plan to prepare. The table and space available will seat six.

For families with small children, we have: a cradle, two cribs. stair gates, a stroller, highchairs, and lots of toys, playthings and books for all ages. The side closets are child-scale play areas.

The main floor living area has a leather couch/hide-a-bed, table and easy chair. Also on the main floor is the large bathroom, wheelchair accessible, and the garage, which has been semi-converted into a bonus room with a convertible couch and a wall-mounted 40" television.

On the second floor are the two bedrooms. The east bedroom (see pictures 9-11) has two single beds in an alcove and a queen-size futon in the main area which, during the day, can serve as seating for TV watching. Off the east bedroom is a deck (see picture 12), facing east, which makes a great spot to sit with your coffee to watch the morning sunrise. The west bedroom (see pictures 7 & 8) has a queen-size bed and desk, and a TV with built-in DVD player/VCR.

"They're nice buckets!"
Property was nice and as described, but the first red flag was the repeated calls from the hose before arrival to make sure they were there to greet us for checkin. One call, sure, but they were at 3 or 4 before we even got there. The first morning, we discovered the toilet wouldn't flush. We alerted the host, they said they'd get a plumber while we were out, still no big deal for us. We get the call that the toilet is fixed, great. We get back to the rental and the toilet still doesn't flush. We alert the host around 6pm, host says they'll call a plumber again and provides us with buckets (which she filled and we appreciated) for dumping water into the toilet to force a flush, indicating to us that this is not their first time dealing with this problem and that this solution was known to work. Suboptimal for 4 people and 1 toilet. They tell us that a plumber is going to return the same night, which we were fine with. Host lingers, asking us personal details to tell to her grandchild, etc. Not inappropriate in content, just, like, an unreasonable amount of contact with hosts when we've expressed that we want to be left alone to our trip. The host returns, this time letting herself in, citing knowing that my wife is asleep as her reason for not knocking or ringing the doorbell. Plumber comes, we go to bed. Second morning, toilet still isn't working. At this point, we've started just using public bathrooms. Wildly inconvenient. Host comes back ver, we express t

The property is charming and you feel as though you are in a tree house with all of the greenery outside. Hosts are friendly, accomodating and even had fresh fruit, cheese and lovely bread in the unit when we arrived, along with staples such as coffee, milk and cereal. We enjoyed are stay and conversations very much!

Great place to stay
We loved our stay! The owners are very communicative. They left us some food items so we wouldn't have to go immediately to the store -- they left milk, eggs, fruit, coffee and some other basic items. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space for several people. The backyard was a great place to hangout. We will be coming back to stay.

This home was the perfect stay for our family during our Pacific NW trip (7 people). The owners were lovely, the home was well cared for, and the location was quiet but close to so many things. We are so happy this place was a part of our family trip down the NW. Highly recommended.

The hosts went above and beyond to make the cottage comfortable and to provide some basic kitchen items so we didn’t have to go find a store late at night. I loved the two balconies and all the sleeping options and will be booking there again.

What a wonderful place.
This gem was everything we could hope for and more. Dennis met us when we got in at midnight and showed us around. They had some quality staples stocked (milk, eggs bread butter) and the kitchen is well equipped. Wifi was easy to access, sauna was dreamy and there are two secret toy filled rooms for yhe kids to play in. Baby gates on every staircase, cute little outdoor area in the back with more toys. Planty if seating for dining, comfortable furniture and all beautifully presented with the sweetest owners right next door, but not invasive. Highly recomend this for your next portland vacation!

Trudy and Dennis were most gracious hosts. They greeted us upon our arrival and bid us farewell upon our departure. They even stocked the refrigerator and pantry with essentials so we could enjoy breakfast and refreshments throughout our stay. Multnomah village is an eclectic enclave with great restaurants, funky stores and a great sense of community. Would definitely stay here again.

Hosts Dennis and Trudy were VERY friendly. Easy check in/out. The home was stocked with everything needed. Not the newest property, but pretty clean and would be a good option for families with preschool and school aged children (lots of small bed space, movies, and toys). Some cobwebs, dust, etc. We were pleased with our stay for the price.

Great area, cute place, very nice VRBO owner
The location was perfect and the home is quaint, however, it felt a bit cluttered for my tastes. In that sense it didn’t feel like the pictures represented the home accurately because it was a bit overstuffed. We couldn’t watch tv because the signal was poor/fair. Worked on my tablet but not the tv. We had to set up our Roku account on the tv which is the first time we’ve had to do that. The owner told me he wouldn’t be able to greet me but told me the door would be open, but it was not. After a long drive that was a bit bothersome since I had 30 minutes to drop the rental off. The owner was VERY nice and responsive but that doesn’t make up for the experience of what we got for the money. It was not worth $185 a night in my opinion. It was stocked with some food, which is thoughtful, but for someone with a child with a peanut allergy was a bit concerning because they left cookies out that might have had peanuts or processed in a peanut facility so had to waste those and throw them away. There was also a peanut butter jar in the cabinet which then prompted me to clean all the surfaces. Additionally, the coffee pot was dirty when I arrived which made me wonder if the sheets and blankets were freshly laundered so I washed all of those too. They had plenty of food but left only 2 coffee filters. I only raised the tv to the VRBO owners attention and there was no resolution. He reset the router but it did nothing. I do think the owner as a human is 5 stars.

Fantastic hosts - we had a wonderful time. All 5 of us were able to have beds to ourselves (one futon converted into a bed, I believe). The house was lovely and located in a beautiful neighborhood. Several of us also had a chance to enjoy the sauna during our last evening there. It was also easy to call Ubers whenever we needed to get to downtown Portland. Would definitely recommend this place!
