About this property

Historic Guest House Located in Central City

Welcome to Multnomah House, a classic Portland guest home located in the central city. Built in 1904 this home maintains all historic charm but with the amenities of a modern home. Perfect for visitors who want the convenience and close proximity to all Portland has to offer with the quaintness of one of Portland’s oldest historic neighborhoods.

Multnomah House is located in near the Oregon Convention Center, the MAX Lloyd Station and shopping and entertainment along NE Broadway.

Whether you’re in Portland for a vacation, convention, wedding or other event, you and your group will feel right at home. During summer months, you can enjoy the front porch and Mediterranean garden or in the winter sit in the living room and enjoy the gas fireplace. The main house is where you’ll be staying while the ground level unit is occupied by the owner.

The kitchen is large and classic with subway tile wainscoting and beautiful fixtures. Completely stocked with all the items needed to prepare your meal de jour. Modern feature like a dishwasher and microwave also provided for real life demands.

There are two bathrooms. On the main floor, experience the life of the modern Turkish bath house. Toilet, sink and large double shower. Upstairs is a toilet, sink and a large claw foot tub/shower.

Formal dining room, living room and tv room will make you feel right at home.

There are 4 rooms, with two full and two queen size beds. One room with a queen size bed also has a full futon.

Summers can be enjoyed on the full size front porch, enjoying the Mediterranean garden.

We have a no pets policy and outside noise after 10pm is not allowed in keeping with our good neighbor agreement. Being a two unit home, some sound will travel between the ground level unit and the main floor of the house similar to staying at a hotel or living in a condo. Getting to the main home requires climbing 18 steps so this may be a consideration for some in your group. All bedrooms are located on the top floor of the house.

Parking is on street only. Some of the amenities mentioned in older reviews may no longer be available.

We want you to have a memorable trip so please ask for recommendations or items that you’ll need during your stay. We’ll do our best to accommodate you and enjoy sharing our city with visitors.

This is a beautiful historic home filled with quality furnishings and kitchen items. No yard sale junk like many other rental homes supply. Beautifully decorated and in keeping with the historic charm. Lovely host as well.Only criticism is everyone slept a bit cold. Only coverlets on beds and no access to extra blankets. There are electric heaters provided in bedrooms, but we were all worried to leave these running throughout the night. The bedding and mattresses were very comfortable, however. This host did not skimp on interior design and/or furnishings. Its a steep price, but very well maintained.

Amazing weekend in Portland!

Wonderful and well decorated home in a safe and quiet neighborhood

I stayed here with a group of 8 women for a weekend getaway. The bathrooms are fabulous - I love the wall paper and one of the showers is practically a room!! I don’t know how easily it could sleep 10 adults as that would entail some couch sleepers or sharing a Full size bed. Overall it was great!!

Hidden Oasis in Portland

My large family of 8 and I visited Portland this summer, and truly couldn’t have asked for a better home for our stay. The rooms were clean and beds comfortable, bathrooms large and with plenty of amenities, and the kitchen fully stocked with everything you need. The location was also very close to everything we needed in town, and was extremely quiet even while appearing to be on a main thoroughfare. There was even a neighborhood cat who came by a few mornings on the porch to say hello. I so appreciated Will’s communicativeness and willingness to let us check in early for our stay; he even told us to grab any veggies from the garden that were ready to eat! We all said one of our favorite things about this vacation was not only all the amazing things to do in Portland and beyond, but how beautiful the home was as well. If we return as a family, or even with smaller groups, we will be renting from Will and his family again.

Quaint and comfortable stay

This beautiful, well-appointed house was perfect for our gathering of "old" friends. It was spacious enough that along with a bedroom for each of us and two full baths, there was enough living space that one of us could close herself up in a common room to work remotely while the rest of us could still gather and visit normally.While we didn't cook there, it seemed as though it would have been easy enough to do with what the kitchen had to offer. It was also a little too chilly to spend much time in the outdoor spaces, but they looked to be very inviting.We all enjoyed the interesting decor, plants and landscaping that set off the authentic features of this older house. It was great to have puzzles available. The details about parking could have been a little more clear (such as specifically stating that it's street parking). We were able to find parking within 2-3 blocks every time it was needed.

The best host and everything we could ask for in a property. Easily a full recommend!

We had family of all ages coming to Portland for a family reunion during our 2022 Christmas vacation and got hit with ice rain and freezing temperatures on one end and dangerously high winds on the other. Our host, Will, was a great communicator before we arrived and during our stay. He thoughtfully set out extra bedding for our group and when the weather went haywire and some of our party got stuck indoors during the high winds at the end of the stay, he generously gave them extra time to leave when it was safe for travel again. The property itself had everything we needed. A great kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, a variety of spaces to socialize, fun & functional bathrooms, and we loved the decor (especially old maps of Portland). The location was perfect for us - centrally located and close enough to everything we needed. Thank you again, Will, for making a complicated family trip full of possible pitfalls one filled with happy memories and memorable experiences. 5 stars!

Great house in great location

We had a great stay here as a mini college reunion for a friend's wedding! The location was perfect with most things either walkable or only a short ride away. The house itself is a bit older but in great condition. The kitchen and downstairs bathroom were both fantastic - we all wanted to wait to use the downstairs bathroom to shower because it was so nice. Will is very nice and responsive and left clear instructions for us as well as helpful guides. The only critiques are small and wouldn't stop us from staying here again at all: 1) the sound travels through the house with some creaky doors and floorboards, 2) there was only 1 futon although the listing says 2 (we thought we would need both when we booked but someone canceled so it didn't matter so we never said anything), and 3) the TV is limited to very basic options (we just wanted to have some ESPN on while hanging around and couldn't). The front windows are very large and open and we had some concerns they could allow people to see in easily so we just made a point to try not to leave anything that looked valuable in the living room. We never got the sense that the neighborhood was dangerous or anything though. Overall, great stay at a great house!

Beautiful home for a holiday!

We stayed in Will's home for Thanksgiving this year and it was an excellent place to host. The kitchen was outfitted with everything you'd need (including a Kitchenaid mixer and extra large oven) and the location was close to several supermarkets, great coffee spots, and some bars and restaurants. Will was super helpful and welcoming and took extra care to ensure we'd have a pleasant stay. We were 7 adults and one child and everyone was very comfortable.
