Two cats, Suley and Angelina, live on the property. Guests often mention them as a highlight of their trip. Interaction is optional—they’re well cared for whether you invite them in or not. If you’re allergic or prefer not to be around pets, this may not be the right fit.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Dillan

Host profile image
Originally from the Bay Area, I have lived in the Pacific NW since leaving for college. Seattle was home for many years but we moved to Portland for its slower pace of life, great food, and charming neighborhoods.

I love making spaces feel modern, curated, and welcoming. Sharing what makes my home and Portland special with guests brings me a lot of joy.
