Thanksgiving trip to see our family
We rented this house to spend a long weekend over thanksgiving break with our family in Portland. It was a wonderful location, cool artsy vibe, and plenty of room for everyone. The owners have done a wonderful job remodeling this classic Gem. We will be back. Thank you!

Cute location in heart of Alberta arts district
Adorable place right in the Alberta art district near to one of my favorite sushi spots. Clean property. Lots to do in the area. Safe neighborhood. 4 stars because I wish there was some coffee available in the morning.

Great place
Everything about the stay was great. The overall security of the facility give me peace of mind. The interior was clean and well-maintained. It was within walking distance to many points of interest. I would stay here again if I were in Portland.

About the host

Hosted by Michelle Ruber

Host profile image
Myself and my Dutch husband, Klaas, are obsessed with travel, design, nature, hiking, and biking....We have combined all of these things into our vacation rental business. During our travels we constantly note what makes things feel unique and special and then incorporate them into our location. We want our guests to feel super comfortable. We can do this by making sure the kitchen is fully stocked, linens and towels are high quality, internet is high speed, the house is super clean. We also want people to feel that they are in Portland, not just anywhere. We do that by using locally made materials in the construction (tiles, flooring, art work), providing lots of info and books about the area, creating an insiders guide of our favorite places, and we have collaborated with locally owned shops who give discounts to our guests.

Why they chose this property

I think our rental has many unique areas- from a large side yard filled with interesting kids structures to corn hole which is a game that friends can play and enjoy for hours. Inside the house has bike themed interiors from hanging tricycle lights to handle bar coat racks. We wanted the house to be comfortable for guests, so details such as reading lights above the beds were put in every room. We hope you love your stay!

What makes this property unique

This amazing rental is located in the heart of Portland's most unique neighborhoods, the Alberta Arts District. With 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a large living room, and all of the amenities you need to feel directly at home.
