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.

Wonderful stay at the Multnomah Guest House

Our family had a wonderful stay at this comfortable home and particularly enjoyed the beautiful yard and decks overlooking the forested neighborhood. The sauna was very nice too! Dennis and Trudy were lovely hosts and stocked the house well with essentials and a generous supply of food staples. The location was very convenient for our stay. We all appreciated the kindness of our hosts and the peaceful atmosphere.

A lovely place for Christmas!

My husband and our three small kids stayed over Christmas. Trudi and Dennis were so welcoming, and the house was cozy and warm. The kids LOVED all the toys, and the house even got us started with milk, eggs, and bread in the fridge. We will be back!

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.

Wonderful Getaway

What a fantastic place! The hosts were so kind and made us feel right at home. We enjoyed The Guesthouse and would definitely stay again. Wonderful location in a quiet and beautiful neighborhood. Downtown Portland was super close by and very easy to get to. Great place if you want to get to the coast and Mt. Hood in the same trip.

Portland visit

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.
