Your Safe Haven in the Heart of Metropolitan Portland

About Wayne

We stumbled on this property in 1987. Through the blackberry brambles she sang to us, and we saw the unique character of the property. We have spent the last 30 years restoring the 1890 farmstead to the grace and beauty of another time by hand-building every detail of the house and grounds. We cherish our ability to live every day in a place that inspires us, and allows us to hone our crafts while living our ideals.

Why Wayne chose Woodstock

Lonesomeville is an artist studio located in the original Blampede farmstead of the Woodstock neighborhood in Portland. Originating from the 1890's, the farmstead features an acre of manicured gardens surrounding the main farmhouse, a lofted barn and original water tower - all providing a completely private, quite respite for our guests from the activity and hubbub of life in the urban core of the Portland. If you are looking for the best of both a rural and urban experience, there is nothing quite like this place. As one of our visitors recently said, "it's like entering another world." There are infinite ways to enjoy the tranquility and beauty of the farmstead, whether it's a quiet evening around the fire, or morning coffee on one of the verandas - inspiration is everywhere.
