About this property

Excellent Location, Close to Parks, Groceries, Single Level Detached Retreat, 15 Minutes to Portland

Rules note: This property is completely non smoking of any kind. It is an adult only rental so please no kiddos for the reasons mentioned above. There are also no pets, no firearms, and no fireworks. Pets of any kind cannot be allowed as this property is an allergy sensitive area. There is room for one vehicle out front so please limit yourself to that. "There is one security camera placed outside which is facing outward and not guest focused. Please ask if you have any questions regarding this."

This rental is intended for Adults. Due to the concrete floors, the owner does not feel it safe to have young children in here who may fall on the floor. There is also a small pathway up to the front door that has a pebbled walkway and step up, so we recommend those who can walk easily unassisted.

This is a bright, modern, one bedroom guesthouse sitting at 753 square feet. It comes with your own complete kitchen, entrance, parking space, and front yard on a quiet street. The guest house is behind the owners main home, which is roughly 30 feet away.

If you are in need of a peaceful retreat within a 15-minute drive to downtown Portland, 10 minutes to the popular Sellwood, Division, or Hawthorne districts of Portland, you have found it. The Woodstock neighborhood is great for biking, a walk to Woodstock Boulevard for stores & eateries, or a stroll in the park. Reed College is about one mile away, as are five different parks, and The Rhododendron Gardens.

The guesthouse sits behind the main house and the owners. They are wonderful caretakers of both properties and you may see them pop by for a quick hello. They will respect all the privacy you need but certainly want all guests to know they are available if anything comes up.

If you are looking for a longer stay, that is possible too. Whether a travelling nurse, a visiting professor, or someone looking to relocate to the area, the Under the Cedars Guesthouse will be quite convenient. It's a perfect fit for those commuting to OHSU, Providence Hospital, Portland State University, and so many more.

Please note that the address in the listing is our main house address, so in directions, you will be given specific directions onto 50th avenue where the guesthouse is located. You have access to the whole guesthouse and its own front yard. We want you to have a good time, but we would ask that you respect us and our neighbors by keeping your noise down; quiet hours are 10 pm to 7 am weeknights, and 11 pm to 8 am weekends. ONLY guests included in your reservation are able to be in or on our property, unless you make special arrangements with us in advance. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions at all.

The Wifi in the guesthouse is fully operational for watching movies, phone calls, and connecting to work websites. Bandwidth may not be adequate for gaming. Hosts are also on the network

The guesthouse is conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood and only a 10-minute walk or 2-minute drive to Woodstock where there are restaurants, shops, and stores to enjoy!

Very clean and cozy space. The guest setup on the tv, allowing us to temporarily log into our streaming services, helped the place to feel like home away from home. My partner and i really appreciated the laundry detergent pods left for us by the host. We briefly met the owner while he was walking his cat, he was nice and the cat was very beautiful. We would definitely stay here again when visiting Portland.

A great, well appointed place to stay while you’re n Portland. We used it as a place to branch out from, including visits to downtown, the coast, and areas around Portland. I would definitely choose to stay here again when we return!
