About this property

A garden view hideaway in the Irvington neighborhood

Beautiful 1908 Craftsman home (Garden view basement apartment) in the heart of one of the most sought after neighborhoods in Portland! Beautiful historic end homes, gorgeous tree lined boulevards, wonderful people, and extremely close to many wonderful restaurants and shopping. Many wonderful and energetic neighborhoods surround Historic Irvington, but she is the Grand Dame of them all!

Irvington Neighborhood is on the national register of historic places, and it is very central. You can get anywhere in Portland within 10 minutes. A car is not absolutely necessary, walk to the MAX (transportation system - 10 minutes) and the bus line is around the corner. You are a 5-10 minute walk from literally 20 restaurants! 5 minutes walking to Lloyd Center and 8 minute walk to the Rose Quarter. Downtown is a 7 minute drive or 9 minutes on the MAX.

Your basement unit is almost 500 square feet and has been completely restored. The sofa folds down to sleep a total of 4.

Some vacation rentals in Portland operate illegally, but this house has the coveted 'Conditional Use' permit ( # 08-175882-000-00-LU)that the city requires in order to run a vacation rental for short term stays.

Our caretakers live onsite, tucked away in an apartment on the main level. Feel free to ask them for help at anytime.

This apartment is extremely well furnished, with everything you need to make your stay wonderful, giving you maximum comfort. Large windows ensure the unit is well lit, and a hydroponic heating system ensures warmth on cold nights. Stainless steel appliances, travertine countertops, wireless internet, a 55" flat screen TV, DVD player and a Bose Stereo give you the luxuries that you have in your own home! Your own illuminated, private entrance on the side of the house guarantees you complete privacy.

The backyard is available for the guests of this unit. It comes complete with an herb garden(for your cooking pleasure) pergola and built in stainless steel BBQ and sink. Enjoy Portland's weather in complete privacy.

A raised herb and vegetable garden on the south side of the house is available to you. We do have Security Cameras at Front door and looking out into the street and side yard. There are NO cameras inside the house or in the backyard.

You will get our personal recommendations for shopping, dining and activities and complimentary coffee and tea.

This is our part time home, and we absolutely love it. We guarantee you will feel the same. Come and be part of our family as you sample all that Irvington Neighborhood and Portland have to offer!

Great stay at Irvington House

We had a wonderful stay in the garden apartment at Irvington House. It is very clean and comfortable. We took advantage of the beautiful backyard several times by having dinner or a glass of wine on the patio. If you get a chance to say hi to Mark (the owner), please do! Not only is he extremely nice and fun to chat with, he is very knowledgeable about Portland and the Irvington neighborhood. Let's just say that our list of "must visit" restaurants is longer now than when we arrived! Although there are many, many amenities within walking distance, we were thrilled to discover the bus stop on the corner of the block. We were able to get to just about anywhere in the city using this bus or combo of busses/light rail. And don't miss the cutest coffee shop at the end of the block to the north. Choice of Safeway or Whole Foods within walking distance (for us). The apartment itself is comfortable, clean, and has all the necessities. We will definitely stay with Mark again!

Needed a comfy place to stay a couple nights while visiting my daughter. There was a small leak issue, which was handled right away once reported. The back patio was wonderful with blooming roses and a grilling area which we took advantage of.

An excellent stay in Portland

My sister and I have nothing but great things to stay about this place. The space was perfect for the two of us and had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable, the appliances worked well, the location was great (so close to cute coffee shops, cafes and grocery stores) and the hosts were so helpful, kind and really helped make our stay a great one. They were quick to respond to any of our questions and so accommodating. If I'm ever in Portland again, I would absolutely stay here again.

The most relaxing location.

It was a very lovely location. The gardens were so beautiful and tended with care. It was very quiet and I was greeted by the neighbors cat which made my visit very special. The coffee was there for me, if I so wished. This is a very special place and I hope to visit again. Mark was available if I had any questions and very kind. Thank you for sharing your property with me. It is so much nicer than staying at a Hotel.

so-so basement suite

Great location. Concrete floor. Bedroom was stuffy with poor circulation unless the door is open, which you'd rather not do with others sleeping on the pullout couch. Pullout couch is fine but no linens or blankets. When asked about it, owner blamed us for not calling for help, but it was very late. Then blame us for not reading the "Welcome email" from Vrbo. Nothing there. Scanned the code later. Not there. Kids slept without linen but found a blanket on the laundry floor. The "house rules" required renter to clean up the unit, which no other Vrbo host asks for. So what's the "service fee" and "host fees" for which doubles the upfront cost?

We stayed for only one night, but it was the perfect little spot. The backyard was a nice place to relax, and it was right down the street (walking distance) from a good coffee place. The bed was so comfortable, we slept perfectly throughout the night. We hope to come to Portland again for a longer stay, and if we do, we will definitely be looking for availability here before anywhere else.

We spend a lot of time in Portland, and we certainly want to welcome you to our home!

Why they chose this property

I have always loved the Pacific Northwest, though my daughter, family and my business are in Phoenix. Most of my maternal family is from this area, and many relatives still live near here.

My mother was born in Vancouver, WA and used to come down to the Lloyd Center to shop with her mother when she was very young. She has fond memories of this place. When she first saw this house and this neighborhood, she literally cried.

I have always had a great time here. I love the neighborhood. I love my neighbors and the general vibe that Portland has. I love the people, and even the weather(most of the time) I love the fact that you can go hiking or biking in the AM, and be back in time for lunch at a great restaurant. I love that nothing looks the same, that everything is unique.

What makes this property unique

I guess I could go on and on, but I really like the urban lifestyle. You can walk anywhere from the Irvington Neighborhood. The gardens and yards are just unbelievable. There are tons of great restaurants and coffee shops everywhere you turn. Portland is such a great destination in every way, and I think Irvington neighborhood is the crown jewel of it all.
I have put tons of money and my heart and soul into this property, and I think and hope it shows. I hope you enjoy this house as much as I do.
