Map & Owner's Profile
Garden Retreat: Near Mt. Tabor / Montavilla / Hawthorne
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Hawthorne
We chose to buy our duplex because it's location is central to everything. Just east of the Hawthorne District and Mt Tabor Park, the Montavilla neighborhood is very welcoming and the business district along SE Stark Street has developed into one of Portland's best kept secrets. In the past few years we have witnessed and been part of the revival of this wonderful neighborhood.
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment
Discover the charm of the Montavilla neighborhood and it's newly rejuvenated SE Stark Street Business District all within a few blocks of our rental.
You can feast at old favorites like “Flying Pie Pizza” or “Ya Hala Lebanese Cuisine”. Start your day at the “Bipartisan Café” and take in a movie at the “Academy Theater”. On Sunday treat yourself to fresh produce and local cuisine at the “Montavilla Farmer’s Market”(June – November) or brunch at the “Country Cat”. Join the locals for a beer and burgers at “Thatchers” or Cajun food and a game of pool at “Roscoes”. “The Observatory” features monthly art exhibits and offers a delightful dining experience... we call it upscale comfort food. And don’t miss out on “Miyamoto Sushi Bar” and the “Vintage Cocktail Lounge” or the newest addition, "Bangkok Bites Thai Cusine".
If you want a tasty treat, try the ”Pastry Girl”, “Immortal Pie and Larder” or the “International Market”. And you can shop for fashion from local designers at “Union Rose” and "Branch Birdie" or if retro is your thing try "Duds Resale Shop" and "Shag Mid-Century Modern". Relax at the “Portland Yoga Studio” and enjoy a soothing soak at “Portland Tub and Tan”. Or if you’re feeling adventurous you can get a permanent memento at “Raw Ink Tattoo”.
Venture a little further and you can experience the beauty and summer concerts at Mt. Tabor Park, shop for antiques “Monticello Antique Marketplace” and sample the local art scene and theater at "Mile Post 5"

Hello, we are glad you are interested in our vacation rentals. And we are certain you will find our accommodations very comfortable as well as the surrounding neighborhood. We have owned this duplex since 2005 and over time we have transformed a once ordinary rental into a beautiful garden retreat, with attention to detail on both the inside and out. We have tried to think of everything you might need to make your stay as pleasant as possible. As you can see from our guest comments, folks have been very happy with the end result.
We would be delighted if you would choose our rental for your next visit to Portland.
Thanks

Cozy retreat in a great neighborhood

Dan greeted us on our arrival and quickly showed us around and gave us some great tips on places nearby to eat, shop, and explore. Even though we had very wet and cold weather there were plenty of places in easy walking distance and easy driving distance to keep us entertained and happy in the knowledge we had our warm and comfy retreat awaiting our return. Dan and Ryan-Michael have a good collection of references too which we found very handy. We'd love to return sometime when we can enjoy the charming patio/garden area.

My wife and I loved this home as a Christmas gathering place for friends and family in the Portland area. We were greeted with fresh flowers on the table and provided with plenty of helpful information. The house is clean and comfortable and in a great location. For one gathering, we ordered in appetizers from Ya Hala and the next night we brought in pizza from Flying Pie Pizzeria and Stark Street Pizza. The house is convenient to I-205 and also to I-84. It is not far from the Hawthorne shopping area where I spent time at one of the smaller Powell's Books locations. We plan on returning in the Summer to enjoy the beautiful landscaped garden area!

Wonderful and comfortable place to stay

My son and I enjoyed my stay here. We stayed in the front unit and found the accommodations to be exactly as described with added elements of surprise. The owners went out of their way to make sure our every want and needs were met. Because of their "going above and beyond", what anyone would expect, our Thanksgiving dinner was truly a celebration of family. Thank you! I also want to let you know all your work in the renovations of the property was appreciated. The outside courtyard was beautiful and the landscape lighting allowed us to enjoy the garden at night as well. Giving thanks to the two of you. Charlene

Our Second Year In A Row

Review Submitted: 09/17/11
When deciding where to stay while visiting family in Portland, this was the only place we really wanted---Dan and Ryan's duplex. This was our second year in a row, and when we arrived we felt we were at home. Same great place: beautifully crafted private outdoor area; very quiet; comfortable furnishings and a complete modern kitchen. Close to all---downtown, Hawthorne District, freeways, shopping etc. Enough room to even have the grandkids do a sleep over. We highly recommend this VRBO.

We were in town for a wedding and to enjoy some time with our family. Our stay was great we had a good time. Your duplex was just what we needed. It was all so neat and clean and I loved the colors and comfortable furniture. All the information available for the area was very usefull. We all enjoyed the Lebanese Restrauant down the street from our place. I said I could move in tomorrow. Thanks for a great stay hope to do the trip again. Cindy and family
Owner response:We were happy to have this family rent our ENTIRE DUPLEX for their week long stay. Renting both units while in Portland for a wedding allowed them the privacy of individual apartments as well as a common gathering place for family and friends.

Comfortable and Peaceful Accommodation

We really enjoyed our stay in this apartment. It was very clean, quiet, comfortable and well equipped. The patio/garden area, where we spent most meal-times, is so lovely and private. The unit is easy to access via major highways and was a good central location for exploring both Portland and the Columbia River Gorge. The owners are extremely attentive and helpful - providing information on transit, directions to various sites, dining, etc. We definitely recommend this unit and would stay here again.

Charming Garden Retreat with easy access from airport
Guest: Mary from Westchester
(Hartsdale, NY)
Date of Stay: 06/17/11
Review Submitted: 07/04/11
We found this a very comfortable unit for 2 couples, 15-20 min by car from both downtown and PDX, an easy (and level) walk to reasonably priced restaurants, fast food, or basic food shopping, but still on a quiet street. We mostly cooked in the unit or did takeout. The private garden/patio was beautifully landscaped, and worked very well for just sitting peacefully as well as for dinner for 6 -- thrown together with no trouble in the surprisingly well equipped kitchen. We originally booked both units, but had to cancel one, and the owners were very accomodating. They also provided detailed and useful information about the neighborhood, access to shopping/entertainment and sightseeing. The unit was clean, well maintained and comfortable. It is far more attractive than the pictures would lead you to believe. We did not expect the garden to be so lovely or so comfortable for entertaining. The at-home entertainment options were decent -- a good-size TV/DVD with a reasonable selection of discs, and a radio/mp3 dock combo for music in the living room. Next time, we plan to spend some time exploring Mt Tabor Park, which is an easy walk.

From the onset we had a good feeling about this place, the service from the owners was excellent and in all our travels over the last two months this must be one of our favorite stops. Thank you guys once again for your hands on approach and making our stay an enjoyable one. The house was clean with a well maintained garden and close enough to everything that matters. Well run establishment and would recommend this to anyone from singletons to small families on a budget.

We were so happy to stay at this charming condo while visiting Portland for a week. It was clean and comfortable with all the amenities that you would ever need. The kitchen had been updated, comfortable beds, and a beautiful garden right off the kitchen with spring flowers blooming. We hope to make this our destination the next time we visit Portland.
