About this property

Dragonfly House-One Bedroom Craftsman in Trendy Kenton

Live like a local in our beautiful one-bedroom craftsman home that blends modern design with century old architecture. This private space is located in trendy Kenton on a quiet street. The lushly landscaped front yard is a great place to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee, local beer, or a glass of wine. Cook your purchases from one of Portland’s many farmer’s markets in the full kitchen. Then get a great night’s sleep the comfy queen bed. Come see what makes Portland uniquely Portland!

Enjoy the living/dining room combo, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom as well as the outdoor spaces including the front porch bistro table and the side yard with two Adirondack chairs.
At the back of the kitchen there is an exterior door with a deadbolt separating the front portion of the home with the back of the home where we live. There is only one partial shared wall between the two spaces allowing for maximum privacy.
The neighborhood is dog friendly and we have a small dog in our living space but in order to keep the rental space clean and enjoyable for all guests, we don't allow dogs.
The location is on a quiet street and convenient to many of Portland's unique neighborhoods (Kenton, Alberta Arts, Mississippi, St. John's) and five miles from downtown. There is easy access to many conveniences like Columbia Park (3 blocks), bus stop (two blocks), U. of P. (one mile), and Green Zebra Grocery (6 blocks).

Perfect stay in Portland!

We were so happy to find this adorable house just two blocks away from the friends we were visiting in Portland. The house is impeccably decorated and spotlessly clean.

Portland Graduation Weekend

The Dragonfly House was a perfect home base for a busy graduation weekend. It had everything we needed. It would also be a great place to stay for a relaxing trip to explore Portland. There was a very well-stocked full kitchen. Andrea has thought of everything!

Our favorite

The Dragonfly House is probably the best ABnB we’ve ever stayed in. Super cute little house that is so well decorated it’s pretty hard to beat. This was our second stay, and certainly won’t be our last.

Perfect Little Dragonfly

This is an excellent choice to stay if you’re visiting the area with a spouse or partner. It had just the right amount of space for my wife and I. Andrea and Brad make sure the house has all the amenities you may need. There is plenty of things to do in the area. We enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to be back.
