About the host

Hosted by Steven Ellsberg

Host profile image
As a rental host for the past three years, my wife and I have had the joy of welcoming guests from all over the world to our home in Portland—a city I’ve called home for over a decade. We are both teachers and when we're not hosting, we're usually off exploring ourselves! As an avid traveler, we know how important it is to find a space that’s comfortable, clean, and a little bit special—and that’s exactly what we aim to offer every guest.

Why they chose this property

We reside in Portland's Cully neighborhood, just 5 minutes from PDX airport and 10 minutes from downtown Portland. We enjoy strong community relationships with our neighbors and love to frequent our local amenities and attractions.

Neighborhood Highlights:

Sacajawea Dog Park: Just at the end of our street, Sacajawea Park is an expansive shady park with a walking loop and an enclosed off-leash dog area.

Juniors Coffee: The best walkable coffee and food cart pod (Excellent coffee, several food options, mostly all open on weekends). Juniors turns into a brew pub in the evening and often is a gathering space for those wanting to catch the latest game on tv. Kid and dog friendly covered and outdoor seating.

The Grotto: A serene 62-acre sanctuary featuring botanical gardens and chapels, providing a peaceful retreat for visitors. Lower level gardens are free to access.

Proximity to PDX: Just a 5-minute drive from Portland International Airport, making arrivals and departures convenient.

What makes this property unique

We have poured lots of love into this space to create a private and tranquil getaway while still within the city.

The property is surrounded by tall lush laurel hedges and includes several shaded sitting areas amongst budding flowers, an outdoor dining area, propane fire pit and BBQ, as well as a seasonal garden and fruit trees that guests are welcome to harvest a bounty from!

Note: Hosts live onsite in the separate upstairs unit— there are no shared spaces beyond the yard and any interaction is optional!

We welcome kids and pets!! The yard is ~90% enclosed with openings only at the driveway - so we recommend supervising all kids and pets when outside. Also please don't forget clean up after pets!

Laurel House offers a spacious interior with 2 kings beds, 1 full bed/office, and 1.5 bathrooms. The kitchen is fully equipped and includes coffee/tea, spices, and cooking oil. The bathrooms include towels, hairdryer, and shampoo/conditioner. A 58" TV has streaming access.

You will also have your own private washer/dryer access outside the kitchen door.
