A few steps down from the garden patio and yard is this unique space in the heart of Belmont/Hawthorne. A clean, modern place w/ 9' ceilings, solar energy and radiant floors--part of a beautifully renovated, 128 year old house. Easy to walk, hop a bus, or grab a Car-to-Go to get anywhere in Portland. Straight shot to downtown, bus stop half a block in either direction. Enjoy a short walk to Hawthorne's unique shops, or walk a few hundred meters to the Belmont Dairy Block where you find a new, soon to arrive grocery store, and a handful of popular, new restaurants. Food carts are sprinkled throughout this fun neighborhood! Division and the newly popular SE 28th St. restaurants are close by. Please note: this space is a bedroom and bathroom with it's own outdoor entrance off the stone patio.

Not only did they make us feel at home, the warmth exuded into the whole experience. Great people; great neighborhood; great weather and gardens; great city.
The location was great and there was plenty of parking. Deb was very responsive and helpful and the place was clean and comfortable. Would definitely book again.
Second time we stayed here while exploring Portland. Clean, comfortable and great location. Nice outside space and the neighborhood can’t be beat. Never an issue parking.
Property was very clean and well appointed. It had a good vibe and felt like a home. Location is great with lots in walking distance. Would stay here again.
Loved it here. Such a sweet little place to relax and hang out! It definitely feels like a sleepover when me and my friends were staying here. 100 for the water that heated up really quickly!!!
This was our first time spending our annual holiday shopping weekend in Portland and we will definitely be going back. Deb was a fantastic host and the apartment was super cozy and in a great location. We couldn't have asked for more, and at the price, it's an absolute steal!
Came for a night to see a friend's art show and check out Winter Lights Festival. Great location, could even drop off leftovers before going to the next event. Comfortable space. Warm floors! Great host
Skip the hotel, have a stay in the Belmont house! Gorgeous space, excellent location. Free parking, and lovely and helpful property manager (thanks Deb and Chuck!)
Great spot in walking distance of restaurants and coffee shops. Deb was very kind and accomidating. Basement apartment was clean, beautifully renovated, and the ac worked great! Would stay here again
This place was so cute! Two beds and a full kitchen but it didn’t feel cramped. Right next to some restaurants and close to downtown. Check-in was super easy and the host was very responsive. I’d definitely stay here again!

About the host
Hosted by Deb Grant
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.
