Perfectly Comfortable

We came in for a concert but did a number of other things. This is a great location central to lots of downtown Portland. Much bigger than we expected and our family of 5 adults was very comfortable. Host is friendly and responsive. Lovely yard and neighborhood at its peak in spring. We loved it.

Wonderful stay. Everything went smoothly. The area is incredibly beautiful. We had family both in Beaverton and Northeast Portland...this location was perfect for both. The house is updated with comfy amenities like brand new washer/dryer, dishwasher, fridge. Bathroom was great. Plenty of water pressure and hot water. Warm and cozy atmosphere throughout. Bedrooms were a nice big size with ample closet space and plenty of hangers. I appreciated the computer monitor and HDMI cable to plug into my laptop sooo much! We are coming back to Portland next summer for a wedding, and this home will be the first place we try to stay in if it's available. Price was more than fair. The game closet is PACKED with fun retro games. Amazing forest view out of the back sunroom!

The lovely hills outside of Hillsdale with many trees. Everything was great in the home. My only problem was with vrbo and the lack of clarity about the check in process. Great hosts respond to my confusion about this. Highly recomend

Nice Spot to See Portland

This is an older 3-bedroom 1-bath house, but it's very comfortable for a small family. It has a modern kitchen well-equipped for cooking dinners and/or breakfasts. It's within five minutes of downtown Portland and all the city has to offer, and it's also conveniently located near freeways that lead out of town either east to the Columbia River or west to the ocean. The owner is very responsive to emails. He replaced a washer and dryer while we were there and turned on the air when the weather started to warm up. HIllsdale offers good amenities, including grocery shopping, gas, ice cream, a wonderful Caribbean restaurant and an organic grocery store. The neighborhood is quite beautiful and very dog friendly. If you're looking for a Portland-based vacation, this is a great spot to start.

About the host

Hosted by Ryan Vaterlaus

My name is Ryan, I recently graduated college. I enjoy tutoring math, intelligent conversation/discussions, gaming, exercise. My family owns this big wonderful house. I live in the newly remodeled daylight basement, which has a separate entrance, with my father. Because my father has terrible allergies we have special filters on the house. We are fortunate to not be allergic to our friendly standard Poodle, Corky. We all love action movies, nature, reading and good food.

Why they chose this property

My parents purchased our Hillsdale home in 2013. At that time only the upstairs was finished. My parents and I lived through remodeling the backroom that has many purposes (game room, queen size murphy bed, laundry, sun porch). They also remodeled the daylight basement where we live now. We decided to make it a vacation rental as our location is amazing!

What makes this property unique

The neighborhood is older homes like ours and people use our street for walking and riding bikes. It is so close to over a dozen amazing restaurants and parks. Every Sunday during the summer, and every 2nd Sunday in the Winter, there is a farmers market just down the end of our road. We recently remodeled the daylight basement. We put in some major insulation so we can't hear our guests except for hard shoes and everyone tells us that they find our place to be very quiet.

The property also includes a Tesla Wall Connector and a NEMA 14-50 outlet for free EV charging.
