University Park Garden Guest House

This beautiful newly built home is located in the quiet residential University Park neighborhood. Located within walking distance from a diverse offering of restaurants, bars, shops, and parks and only a short jaunt to the University of Portland makes this house a convenient place to stay while in Portland. It was thoughtfully designed with cathedral ceilings that allow for an ample amount of light. The light is easily filtered with motor operated blinds. When sleeping in the upstairs bedroom, you will awake to sounds of a variety of birds that dwell in the surrounding canopy of trees.
This is a 2 bedroom 1 1/2 bath home with a separate gated entrance and private garden. It is fully furnished with all new appliances, cookware, and linens. It has a washer/ dryer, air conditioning, and a dual fuel stove. This 800 sq ft home has been tastefully decorated and is very inviting. It is located 1/2 mile from the University of Portland and 1 mile from the quaint neighborhood of St. Johns with a variety of restaurants, cafes, pubs, and parks. The beautiful St. Johns Bridge and Cathedral Park are just a 1-mile walk from the home.
The nearest grocery store New Seasons is located just three blocks down the street and McKenna Park is just one block behind the home. Fred Meyer shopping is located just four blocks away. There is a designated off street parking spot for two vehicles .
The property is located just three blocks from the TriMet bus stops which connect to the city's Max light rail line which can transport you to all parts of the city.
We are often available to welcome you to our property and can assist you with questions or needs that you may have during your stay.
Julie, Jim, and McKenna

The home was extremely clean. The hosts left a bottle of wine and an assortment of snacks and sodas to share. Each bathroom had a hairdryer as well as toiletries: qtips, makeup wipes, shampoo, cream rinse and body wash. We traveled with our granddaughter. She enjoyed the basket of toys and books. The outside sitting area was very relaxing with the sound of the water pond next door The location was excellent

My wife and I had another great stay here. The small house is wonderfully maintained and is a great place to relax or have it be your temporary home while you explore. Also the hosts left many thoughtful snacks, drinks, and wine which was a nice surprise. We’ll be back.

Perfect Stay in St John’s

This is a wonderful property that met our every need. Beautifully designed, it allowed my husband and I to spread out. It is impeccably clean with a terrific kitchen. Most important for us, it’s an easy walk to shopping and getting around. Julie and Jim are fabulous to work with and very generous. Thank you for everything!

Amazing Little House

Julie & Jim were amazing host. We traveled from Florida for my daughter’s family weekend at the University of Portland and we couldn’t ask for a better location. The drive was less than 5 minutes and the house had everything you could need. Plenty of towels, toiletries, and snacks for my teenage son. My wife was astonished by the little details of the decorations. The communication with the host was the best, we came on a rare snow storm and they kept us updated on road conditions even offered the house for early check in and late checkout. Considering my daughter still has a couple years left @UP we will try and stay here again.
