Graduation success!
Gary made our Covid Graduation celebration with our daughter seamless and quite enjoyable.
Thank you Lucia for your review. I am glad you and your family enjoyed your stay and were able to create wonderful memories with your daughter. Congratulations on your daughter's graduation!
Comfortable place with great hot tub!
The place was super nice and clean and such a cute vintage house. 8 of us stayed and all enjoyed it. Hot tub great-curfew of 9:30pm but wasn’t a problem for us. Gary, the owner, was super nice and considerate. I did not realize he lives on-site in a separate apt. with a shared back entrance so I think that’s good to note-but he is very sweet and made it clear it was our place and we could be as loud as we wanted. House equipped with all you could want and we will stay again. Location is in a cute neighborhood walkable to popular areas. Food in Portland is phenomenal! Have fun!
Thank you Katie, I am glad you and your friends enjoyed your stay. You are welcome back anytime!
Great home for family gathering
Our family met in Portland for a get together and this property was large enough for everyone to have their own space as well as great common areas for talking and laughing together. The property was well stocked with everything we could need. The owner went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed and even provided us with information regarding how to get around town.
Thank you Will, I am glad you and your family enjoyed your stay. You are welcome back anytime!
Very clean and in a great neighborhood.
We thought that Gary’s house was very clean and comfortable. We wished that the hot tub policy was longer than 9:30pm, as we worked long shifts on our work trip and would like to have used that benefit more. Also, we were not aware that Gary lives onsite next to the laundry area in the house. We would have appreciated a more clear disclosure on this in the description of the house rental. If you are looking for a great location and don’t mind the owner living on site during your rental, this is a great find!
Hi Maureen, thank you for your review. I am glad you enjoyed your stay. The hot tub rule is in place due to noise control since the home is in a residential neighborhood. Previously there were some issues with outside noise occurring after 9:30 PM and my neighbors subsequently requested hot tub use between the hours of 9 A.M. and 9:30 P.M. since they go to bed early. I have also updated the house description to mention I Iive in the lower level of the home (per the new Short Term Housing law in the City of Portland owners are required to live on site 270 days a year).
We enjoyed our stay at Gary’s home. Perfect for our family to attend our daughter’s wedding.
We enjoyed Gary’s residence as we gathered to attend our daughter’s wedding. It was nice to be close to the Safeway. We enjoyed our time visiting in the hot tub. Also, we fit 12 around the table as we hosted our new son-in-laws parents for dinner. It was a great place. Thanks for opening your home.
You are welcome Janis! Thank you for your excellent review. It was a pleasure having you and your family. I am glad you enjoyed my home and the close proximity to Safeway grocery which is one block from the home. You are welcome back to Piedmont Vacation Rental anytime.

Why Gary Beckler chose King
I purchased this property because the Piedmont neighborhood was up-and-coming in 2003. Now it is a vibrant neighborhood, close to downtown and many amenities. It is within walking distance of the Alberta Arts District, the Historic Mississippi Avenue district and the North Williams Corridor. This is a quiet residential neighborhood, great for walking and bicycling and close to the Peninsula Park Rose Garden.
What makes this House unique
The 1925 Craftsman bungalow has original charm including French doors, a unique wood-burning fireplace, a formal dining room, high coved ceilings and hardwood floors.
