About this property
Jewel in the Sky: Modern, Private, Luxurious Loft + EV Charger!
*We offer a 15% weekly stay discount and 20% monthly stay discount. *Photos of all businesses in this listing are < 1.0 mile away. *All Races, Gender Identities, Sexual Orientations, Religions Welcome.
Our family welcomes you to a slice of our Portland life. We live in a quiet residential neighborhood where the sounds you are most likely to encounter are the distant squawks of our backyard chickens, the pitter-patter of raindrops on the skylight, or the occasional children's squeal or dog bark.
Jewel in the Sky in Portland, OR is a converted loft above our garage using all new construction and furnishings to give you a truly luxurious and modern get-away experience. The interior style will make you feel refreshed, energized and comfortable. The 340 sq. ft. space resembles a studio apartment that offers an open floor plan with a vaulted ceiling. You have your choice of flooding light or blackout darkness with our flexible window options/features. The central skylight offers a partial view of mature Douglas Fir and Western Red Cedar trees off to the west. To the east, you have views of the top of our nearby extinct volcano, Mt. Tabor (which also happens to offer numerous hiking paths and a gorgeous view of downtown Portland and the sunset).
While we know many people will be out adventuring for much of your stays, we wanted a cozy place people could use as a respite from a busy day of adventuring (or to enjoy for an extended-length stay). We have tried to incorporate as many of the little amenities we could think of (and fit in) so that our guests are not wanting for anything.
IMAGINE YOUR STAY Ease into your first morning with complimentary Stumptown coffee, Starbucks Hot Chocolate, Stash tea, bubbly water, fresh fruit, oatmeal, yogurt (and usually some other surprises).
Then, get a fresh start to your day in the private full bathroom that boasts a tiled shower/tub, a bidet washlette, complimentary toiletries, hair dryer, curling iron and more.
If "chef'-ing is on the agenda, the full kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator/freezer, stovetop range, microwave, dishwasher, coffeemaker, toaster, and state of the art Multi-Pure water filtration system. A tasteful selection of dishes and cookware will make your experience fun and inspiring. Of course, if you're in the mood for a fancy dinner out, a food cart specialty or anything in-between, you'll have plenty of mouthwatering options to choose from in this gastronomic hub of Portland.
Alternatively, you can also order takeout, sink into the couch and catch up on your favorite shows or movies at home with our 40” flat screen Smart TV on wheels (watch from anywhere in the unit). We offer Satellite DIRECTV with 150+ channels plus apps (like Netflix, Hulu) to stream your favorite shows (using your personal subscriptions).
Finally, unwind at the end of your day in the plush queen bed topped with a memory foam mattress. It is so comfy you will curl your toes in delight and feel the bed give you a big, warm hug! Turn on the sound spa machine for a variety of nature sounds to put your mind at ease. The queen bed is constructed with headboard shelves to easily contain personal items including electronic devices, C-Pap machines, reading materials or that soothing evening glass of wine. Adjustable and dimmable bedside lighting allows late-night reading without bothering your partner. Ceiling height wardrobe cabinets can store your clothes and shoes in an organized fashion. While our space is most comfortable for two people, we can accommodate up to four people utilizing the queen-sized sleeper sofa as needed.
If you must break the fun and do some laundry, we offer an ALL-IN-ONE washer/dryer machine. This is a common space-saving machine used in Europe, in which one machine does both the washing and drying. This means one load can take hours to complete (ideal for starting a load before you head out for the day and coming back to a finished load of laundry, but not ideal if you will have many loads of laundry to clean). We have a nearby laundromat for bulk laundry, if you have that need.
Enjoy the ease and comfort that consistently earns our property 5 star reviews, usually praising the extreme cleanliness, unique amenities and high-touch hosting. Guests appreciate our thoughtful labels and comprehensive printed guidebook, making it easy to navigate and enjoy the amenities we provide. Guests also love the free high-speed Wi-Fi, heat & A/C, adjustable ceiling fan, dimmable lights, indoor air-purifying plants and a quiet air-exchange filtering system.
We live on-site and are always eager to assist you with any needs or recommendations. Whether you're here for a birth, birthday, graduation, wedding or other fun event, we strive to make your stay an excellent one, so book with us today!
GUEST ACCESS You will access the garage loft by walking up our driveway toward the garage and entering through a side door of the garage. A keyless touch-screen deadbolt allows for easy access and security (a personal code will be assigned to you based on the last four digits of the phone number on the reservation). You will then ascend one flight of indoor stairs to reach the loft.
OTHER THINGS TO NOTE *We have ability to speak in limited conversational Spanish and Japanese.
*If you need to use the sleeper sofa or EV charger, please notify us in your reservation request so that we may have it ready for you.
*Our unit is not safety-enhanced for young explorers.

Very nice property in a quiet neighborhood close to many shops and eateries Angela, the host, is very thoughtful in equipping the vacation rental with everything needed for a convenient and comfortable stay. I often sleep poorly on travel but not here.Angela is also very responsive.I recommend this VRBO and would seek to stay here again when traveling through Portland.

Wow, thank you Peggy! I am glad you enjoyed your stay. We worked very hard to include lots of amenities and a fun atmosphere to boot. It paid off dividends. We welcome you back anytime!
Great stay in the studio loft. Way above other short rentals we previously stayed in the area. Angela was a pleasure to deal with.

Thank you, Lucila! I'm so glad we could provide a convenient home base that exceeded your expectations and experiences with other rentals. That makes my heart sing!
This was one of the best layouts of any place that we have stayed. It's just very well thought-out and executed, and they did a great job maximizing the space. It's perfect for a couple.
Really hard to find any complaints - we would gladly stay here again.

Why, you are very welcome! I really enjoy trying to seek out and add little touches that surprise and delight. I'm glad to hear I was successful! We'd love to host you again.
Angela has a wonderful property and has thoughtfully anticipated everything you could need for your stay. The property is so convenient to all of the shops on and businesses on Hawthorne. Restaurants, coffee shops and even a yoga studio are just a short ten minute walk or less. Definitely looking forward to a return visit.

We are so glad that your only disappointment is that we are already booked for your next return trip! I hope your visit to the tulip farm was outstanding and we hope to see you again. It was a pleasure to meet you.
The property and host were fantastic. I was able to eat well, while I had an extended stay in the city without having to eat out all the time. It was perfect and the host had everything I could possibly need!!! This will definitely be the first place I look for any additional stays. I have in the city.

It was so great to host you, Karina. I'm glad you enjoyed making the most of our kitchen for your longer stay, since I outfitted it with as much as could fit! We'd love to have you back anytime - thank you for taking such great care of our space.
The space is beautiful and really does have everything you could need for a vacation stay. Angela is also really great. She genuinely cares about people and is always up for helping recommend places to eat or visit. If you’re traveling alone and are looking for a host that’s open to interacting with you, then I highly recommend you stay here.

Thank you Rachell! I'm so glad I got to help you with your project - I hope it turns out great. You were such a trooper with the snow and ice storm here in Portland. I wish you the best!
The property is very very nice. It has all the basics you could possibly need for your stay there. Everything is labeled so finding what you need is quick and easy. The hosts are very friendly and communicative. The location is also perfect for exploring the Hawthorne area with so many amenities nearby. It is very worth it and I highly recommend!

Thank you Brad! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay with us, and happy you liked some of our newer amenities. It was great to meet you and we hope you made some wonderful memories during your time here.
This is the second time we've stayed at this property and our second visit was as good as the first. Angela, the owner, is easy to reach, personable, and has thought of everything one might want or need during a stay. The space is attractive, comfortable, and spacious, with privacy and nice natural light and views. The neighborhood is cute and within easy walking distance of many restaurants and a grocery store. We hope to return again!

Lovely studio in a walkable neighborhood near restaurants
This studio is on top of the detached garage. It’s super clean with everything you need for cooking. The host is very friendly and responsive. The room is spacious and beautifully decorated. Tons of good restaurants within walk distance.

A great neighborhood to explore and a perfectly appointed place. I usually leave a little note about nice items to have available but this host thought of everything. A sweet a welcoming space.

Well, thank you Barb! I'm so glad you couldn't think of anything missing... I'm always trying to think of another fun little thing to add. I'm glad I got to wish you all safe travels this morning - it was great to meet you.
Angela's Jewel in the Sky is nestled in a quiet neighborhood lush with amazing yard landscaping and gardens. The space was very clean, very modern and very comfortable. It also affords a good deal of privacy as it is not connected to the house. Our stay was only 3 nights but we could have easily stayed a month, for us this little jewel was just right.

Aw, totally warms my heart! And I love that you used the new name, Jewel in the Sky, in your review. Full circle for me! I'm glad you appreciated the cleanliness - I'm a bit of a stickler on that, but I believe it's part of being able to truly relax. And you came at the perfect time of year - the gardens are definitely bountiful right now - so nice you enjoyed it. We welcome you back anytime (the chickens enjoyed strutting their stuff for you too)!
A great place to stay, easy walk to the shops and restaurants. Angela was very personable and when the power went out she sent her husband with a small battery pack. Fruit and a few breakfast items were available.
I would highly recommend 1915 47th Street

Awesome neighborhood with terrific bars and restaurants and super safe areas for walking, running and even tennis.
The host Angela is beyond wonderful. She’s thought of everything her guests might need. In addition to being incredibly clean and aesthetically pleasing, every single inch of the space is functional.
Best Portland stay ever!

Aw, wow, that's quite a compliment! There's a lot of competition out there but we do our best to stay above the fray in lots of little ways. It's a good little slice of life here and we love sharing it. Thank you!
I can't say enough about how great this property is. It's the perfect size and location for staying in Portland. Best of all, the amenities are well marked and all the information in using them is provided.
The owner is a true gem. We had an unforeseen issue that no one could control; but Angela went above and beyond what one would expect.
I would certainly recommend this place to others. I will definitely stay here again.

Response from VrboOwner on 14 Nov 2022
Thank you again, Brandon, for your understanding about our unexpected neighborhood power outage. There was a massive fire at our local electrical substation the week prior to your arrival, and unfortunately, the repair process caused the electricity to go down a second time, the night of your arrival. I was so thankful for your "roll with it attitude" and was glad to make it right for you. You're a gem too!
I can’t say enough great things about our stay! Angela was communicative throughout our stay and checked in regarding anything we may have needed to make our stay more comfortable! As someone that often forgets a necessity when packing for a trip- I really appreciated all the thoughtful extras around the Loft (ex. Soaps/makeup wipes/local coffee). I also NEED to comment on how comfortable the bed was- I have never experienced such restful sleep while traveling! Would definitely recommend to anyone traveling to Portland!

Oh my gosh, I'm blushing, this is such a heartening review! I really do care about my guests having an amazing stay, and I'm glad it's working! I'm so sorry we didn't run into each other in person - my boys have me going in many directions, so I'm glad my occasional check-ins over your extended stay sufficed. I appreciate all your kind words!

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication
It is a wonderful VRBO. The communication is great, the apartment is bright and cheerful. The kitchen is well stocked with anything you need to make a nice meal. The shades are remote controlled so you can easily close them to feel cozy at night time. Felt very safe. I'm sure if there's anything you'd need besides all that is provided, Angela would make it happen. We feel fortunate to have had our stay in Portland at Jewel in the Sky and if we have the opportunity, we will return there. Great walking nieghborhood, too. 5 stars!

About the host
Hosted by Angela Kockler
Pronouns: She/Her I am a proud mom of two boys, and lover of adventure! A midwestern girl at heart (grew up in Illinois), I now have a Pacific Northwest flavor swirled in. While I have an advanced degree, my favorite job is raising two young humans and teaching them the importance of trying to make the world a better place. My passions include food, culture and the environment, and I stay busy working as a health coach and a volunteer extraordinaire. Being a vacation rental host has created a lifestyle for me that allows family to come first and for that, I am most grateful. I hope to be able to meet you during your visit and say "Hi!” My motto in life is to "live without regrets."
Interaction with guests: All Races, Gender Identities, Sexual Orientation, Religions & Hair Color Welcome at Jewel in the Sky. We will assume a preference for privacy and self-check-in. We have our rental manual loaded in this profile (viewable after you reserve) and we also have a comprehensive binder of information available for you upon arrival. If you would like to be greeted in person when you arrive, just let us know. I am often at home in the main house and available to help answer questions, but am also responsive to messages through the app, calls or texts. We tend to be busy during the school-year with after-school and weekend activities, but there are also times we might spend the entire Saturday working in the yard. During the summer, the children may be at home or at day camp and our family might be gone camping on the weekends. As such, we leave casual interaction up to the ease and flow of everyone's schedules.
