About the host
Hosted by Jim and Shannon Fuhrer
We are local landlords, who accidentally embarked on the short-term rental business about 9 years ago when we started renting our vacation home in the Columbia Gorge. We love sharing our knowledge of the area with our guests - their families, co-workers, and friends. Shannon grew up in Portland and as a couple, we've been in Portland for 30 years. We love art, food and outdoor activities and are happy to share our personal favorites with our guests.
Why they chose this property
This neighborhood is a quiet, multi-generational neighborhood of duplexes. Located just off of HQY 26 and 217. Minutes from downtown Portland, premier hospitals (St Vincent's, OHSU, Legacy Emanuel, and Good Sam), and PDX industry (Nike, Intel, Columbia, LAM, etc.). We love that we are also 90 minutes to the Oregon Coast, Mt. Hood, Columbia Gorge, and Willamette Valley.
Public transportation is just a short walk from the home, but a car is advantageous.
Grocery stores and restaurants are nearby.

What makes this property unique
Modern and recently updated throughout, this home is clean, elegantly furnished, and sophisticated. We created the space with our guests in mind - comfy beds and linens, a deep couch, and an awesome kitchen for the traveler: quality dishes and flatware, a gas range, and a nice collection of cooking tools.
We also stock an ever-changing collection of morning items and snacks for arrival.
