Great location, cute and cozy!

My son and I stayed here two nights while touring some schools and enjoying Portland's delicious restaurants. It's a simple basement spot, low on light, but high on charm. Our hosts were responsive and the area is within walking distance to some excellent food. A fantastic place for the price!

Cozy and Cute Portland Property

I visited Portland during their historic snow event for the first time with my cousin and this property was the perfect base of operations for a multi-snowy-day-stay. It has everything that we needed, the host was very responsive, and heated floors were awesome! Across the street was a good Thai restaurant, down the block was an excellent breakfast nook (Cricket Cafe), and just a little further was a Korean grocery store and multiple food venues. I hope one day that I can visit Portland when I can take advantage of the bike share and explore even more. Would stay here again if so.

Mom with teens

We came to Portland to see a concert and do some shopping. It was me with three teenage girls. The studio was very clean and had some surprising touches. The beds where very comfortable. It has a wonderful patio that I was only able to sit on for about 10 minutes with my tea: it was chilly! Had it been warmer, I could have stay out there for hours. We definitely would rent again. Thank you it was perfect. Even my daughter wrote a note and left it. She loved it!

Deb's communication is top notch, I was informed that the suite was ready almost 3 hours early, and it is incredibly impressive how clean everything was! Originally when I arrived we ran into some technical difficulties which resulted in me being locked out upon check in, and unable to reach Deb(the host). These difficulties were outside of anyone's control or expectations, and Deb handled the situation with grace and kindness! She was able to get the situation fixed beyond my expectations, and she clearly had my safety and comfort as a priority. Deb's employees were able to help me out during my stay, and all of them were fantastic and so kind. The house is absolutely beautiful, private, with a great little backyard. It was 100 degrees when I stayed, and the AC kept everything nice and cool. Ample street parking, incredible thai food across the road, and so many coffee shops! I am sure that my partner and I will be back not only for the great place to stay, but the exceptional hospitality!! I stayed here on my own, visiting town for work, and I felt safe and secure the whole time. 10/10!!

Had to go to Portland to take my daughter to OHSU. This place was not quite what I had expected. It was very small and in an interesting part of town. But it was clean and cozy and had everything we needed. We were very comfortable here and it was conveniently close to the hospital and very close to stores and restaurants. I appreciated that there was a locked gate to the property so there was no worry of random people wandering through. There are stairs which was a little difficult to walk my daughter to the room right after eye surgery (just FYI). But we managed just fine. Like I said before, it was very cozy and had everything we needed and then some. We are happy with our stay here.

The perfect spot to enjoy Portland. Just a few blocks from Grand Central Bakery and Jam, where I had the most glorious breakfast. The darling little backyard was lovely. Super comfy beds and a great little kitchen for prepping snacks, and such accommodating hosts! Will definitely stay on my next visit.

About the host

Hosted by Deb Grant

Host profile image
The 'small city, big town' aspect of Portland is what drew us to Portland 25 years ago. I'm a Montana girl who loves the vibrancy of an urban atmosphere and the culture of both the countryside and the town. My husband Chuck and I have partnered on many projects through the years. He currently lives on site, and I live a mile away. We continue to enjoy working together and have put a lot of love into the Portland Belmont House. We now enjoy sharing it with others.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property because of its location, bones and vibes! 128 years of stories to tell. A diamond in the rough with unique character and hidden elegance made it a place worth putting our heart and soul into renovating. Solar panels, stagger studded walls, and ample insulation look to the future while the main floor 8' pocket doors, original fir floors, and intricately carved wood work reveal the past. All new electric and plumbing, and sound absorption channels between floors, help remove the unnecessary aggravations of the past to better enjoy the beauty of the space. Reminder: it is a one house duplex, and the sounds of people above can be heard. Some guests hardly notice. For a guest who is bothered by hearing movement above, the soothing sounds of the small noise machine will help.

What makes this property unique

The Belmont House provides a quiet, comfortable home stay within a vibrant, fascinating part of Portland. We are 3 blocks from the famous Sunflower Intersection at SE 33rd and Yamhill, a uniquely Portland part of Portland. The house charms people. The great yard, patio, barbecue, (and fire pit too!) make a person feel out in the countryside, yet, only a block and a half away are the shops, world class, affordable restaurants, gourmet grocery stores, food carts galore. Public transportation is a stone's throw away. Drive down the street and you are in downtown Portland in 4 minutes. Everything you need right out your door.
