Charming Remodeled Home in SE

Unique, charming 1930's home, just minutes from Portland by bike or car, fully remodeled, w/custom handmade furnishings made w/local hardwoods. New high efficiency gas furnace and nearly new central air conditioning
Our cozy home has a fully loaded gourmet kitchen.
We have been listed on another site for over 4 years, with mostly 5 star reviews, occasionally something will malfunction, thus the near perfect score.
Master suite w/king bed and a top of the line Stearns and Foster mattress, a walk-in closet and a desk and office chair dedicated to working.

2nd bedroom w/brand new queen nectar mattress.
King sleeper sofa w/memory foam mattress.
New Coleman high efficiency gas furnace to keep you toasty warm on cold winter mornings, and cozy down comforters for cold winter nights.
Covered patio, plenty of outdoor seating, natural gas BBQ, and firepit.
Fenced yard for pets.
Local fav cafe across the street.
The space
Our home is an enjoyable space to relax with family or friends.
It has a very functional kitchen with a 4 burner gas range, oven with convection, a 4 slice toaster, an under cabinet microwave oven, very nice heavy stainless steel cookware, ceramic coated frying pans, as well as cast iron, blender, coffee maker, coffee grinder, mixer, barware.
Laundry is located in the basement and soap is provided.
Relax outdoors in the 4 seat outdoor table, 6 outdoor chairs, and 2 loungers, cook on the natural gas BBQ, nice fenced yard and garden and a large covered patio and deck. In the summer enjoy fresh tomatoes, blueberries, raspberries and fresh herbs from the garden.
There is a fire pit, it is new and runs on propane.
Guest access
The guests will have access to the entire house with the exception of a closet off the master bathroom, a closet in the basement and the garage interior.
The house will all be yours as will the large driveway where you can park up to 3 cars on site, and 2 on street, and private fenced yard.
Other things to note
We have no dining room in the house, but we just purchased a small dining table and 4 chairs.
There is also a bar area between the kitchen and living room that seats 2, as well as seating in the living room for 5, a wicker pouf, and a 4 seat umbrella table outdoors.

There are guys who mow the lawn on thursdays, so you may want to keep an eye on your dogs that day because the gates will be open for half an hour or so. It’s usually in the afternoon.

Our home is dog friendly, and you can bring your canine friends along with you. We would limit the amount of dogs to 3 small dogs or 2 larger dogs.
There is a simple fee for bringing your pet friends along with you of $50, you will check the box for pets when you book, or i will request it after you check-in. This is to offset the cost of lawn repair, and hair removal. We provide towels and sheets to cover the bedspread if your pets like to sleep on the bed with you. We also have a doggie door suited for small to medium dogs, 2 sizes of dog beds, as well as food and water bowls located in the basement. Please pick up after your friend with the provided bags.
If you have allergies to dogs and cats our house may not be your best choice, as most of our guests have dogs, and some have cats.
Its a great neighborhood for walking or cycling, with bike paths every direction, and to downtowns waterfront. Nearby Sellwood has Oaks amusement park, a great place to take the kids. Sellwood Riverfront Park, a great dog park on the Willamette river, great for swimming with your pups and kids in the summer, and a nice place to bring the beach chairs and a cooler (all provided).
Sellwood has many wonderful restaurants as well, and many smaller parks and playgrounds. In summer the local parks sponsor free concerts.

Great backyard

There was a glitch when we arrived in that the housekeeper got the dates mixed up and it had not been cleaned yet so we had to stay in a hotel. But the host promptly refunded our money for the first night and it was clean upon our return the next morning. This house has all the amenities you could ever want and is well stocked as far as food and bathroom supplies.

A month in Milwaukie

We stayed at Kate’s home for a month while transitioning from a move overseas. It was the perfect place to call home while we looked for our own. It’s so comfortable, from the solid build, beautiful back deck and cozy beds and furnishings. It’s well stocked and the location is great for reaching different areas of Portland. Kate is very responsive and overall made our first month back in the US as easy as could be. Highly recommend!

Lovely and Interesting Home

We loved this house! It was clean and warm, the beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well-stocked. Communication with our host was easy. An extra bonus was the interesting things in the home itself. It was nice to have a fenced area for the pooch. We definitely plan to stay here next time we're in the Portland area for a few days.

The property worked perfect for us. The house was used as home base for our day trips. Having the full kitchen (and bbq) made for easy breakfasts and dinners. The backyard and deck area was perfect for relaxing in the evening. Highly recommend this property if you’re staying in the Portland area.

Perfect Property/Location

This house is such a cute property, located in a quiet neighborhood. This location is prime for trips into and outside of Portland. The house has all the modern updates and is equipped with everything you could need for your stay. There is a convenience store located across the street for any last minute items you may need, or if you just need a snack or drink. I highly recommend eating at Milwaukie Cafe across the street at least once. The food and coffee are great. I think we grabbed breakfast there three days in a row!! Kate the host is easy to get a hold of and answered all questions quickly, and offered great sight seeing and food recommendations. She was in Spain during our stay and her neighbor Brenda was available for anything we needed. If I’m ever in Portland again, I would absolutely book this property again.

A Little Piece of Heaven

Maps found the location easy and it was exactly as it looked on line, only pictures of the inside did not do it justice. The cabinetry and furnishings are beautiful, and make it feel so comfortable and homey that relaxing is instant. Kathleen has thought of everything and then some. We tend to like cooking our own meals and there seems to be double of each utensil which is a dream as some of us are gf and others are not. She had pots n pans, vegetable steamer and pasta pot, seasonings, plenty of hot pads and an Apron!!!! We utilized one of the small coolers to keep water cool on our day trips, the washer & dryer were so handy as we had 7 days along the coast where washer n dryers seem to be elusive before arriving at our next stop in Lafayette, CA. The only regret, not staying longer. Thank you Kathleen.
