Quaint private cottage apt. in highly desirable area, close to everything

This quaint 1 bedroom furnished apt. is located downstairs in our historic brick English tudor home. You have a separate key, private entrance, and courtyard. The space is well-lit with two windows and has a back door to a beautiful garden and patio in the backyard as well as a side door to the courtyard. We also use very careful required sanitation procedures between guests!
Our home is located Laurelhurst, a registered historic district. Laurelhurst is one of Portland's oldest and most beautiful planned communities. We are located on a quiet, tree lined street within 10 minutes of the city and 15 min. from the airport. Major shopping, wonderful restaurants and one of Portland's most beautiful parks are all within walking distance. This ideal location is only two blocks from a several bus lines and 5 blocks from the MAX (light rail train) The MAX can take downtown in the matter of minutes . It is also within walking distance of favorite east side shopping and dining areas, including Hawthorne, Belmont and 28th street.
When you enter this charming mid-century decorated apartment you will immediately feel at home! You will find a comfortable queen sized bed, overstuffed chair and desk with mesh internet service. Good size TV Roku access, DVD player(some DVD's available) in the bedroom. The nicely tiled bathroom has a tub and shower. Although there is not a separate "living room" you will find the apartment very cosy and comfortable. The kitchen has a dining space, there is a pantry that is furnished with everything you may need to make your own meals if you choose (i.e. microwave, gas stove, refrigerator, blender, coffee maker, dishes, pots/pans, spices, condiments, etc.). Other amenities include a private courtyard, and your own large washer/dryer in the apt. Easy walking distance to several bus stops, light rail train (MAX), restaurants and shopping.
More information on our historic home can be found on Oregon Encyclopedia website. Search for "Brick House Beautiful". Our home has also been in "Better Home and Gardens" magazine and has been twice on the cover of "Old House Journal". If we are home when you arrive and your interested, we are happy to give you a tour of our home. During the warm weather months we maybe hanging out in our back garden area and you are welcome to join us if you like. If you prefer you can hang out in the side courtyard without our presence. But you are always welcome to check out the backyard English gardens, hangout around the firepit or use the barbecue during your stay.

Beautiful Home

The owners are kind, welcoming and communicated with us every step of the way. This property is very pretty, inside and in the outdoor space. We were very comfortable and there wasn’t a need that we didn’t have met! We will be back, and will also recommend to others.

The cottage is adorable! It fulfilled all of our needs and was in a great location!

We had such a great experience at the cottage! From the moment we got there, Bob and Sue made us feel very welcomed. My husband and I came here for our honeymoon and were greeted with champagne and roses! The cottage was amazing in all aspects! It was in a great location and we felt at right at home. I would definitely recommend staying here and will be back the next time we visit Portland!

Wonderful find and a great value for the money!

I had a last-minute opportunity to fly into the airshow at something fun in Lakeland and found that nearly every hotel within an hour was fully booked and the few remaining rooms were going for three to 400 a night.I was delighted to find this clean and cozy little camper RV trailer with plenty of room for myself another person and even two children if I had them along. It was in a nice shady drive right next to a wonderful families home and a quiet safe neighborhood. I strongly recommend and will certainly stay there next year when I’m in Lakeland in town for the same convention

Excellent stay in a historic area

The guest apartment was perfect for me as i was in and out my entire trip. The apartment is on the side of the gorgeous home and was clean, well-stocked, comfy and quiet. Located in Laurelhurst, you are nearby everything you would need and only 15 min from the airport. Bob was a great host and I enjoyed chatting with him for the few minutes before I left to come home. Washer, dryer, kitchenette, plenty of towels, pillows, a few snacks, water in the fridge and although I did not cook anything, the kitchen is well-stocked. Highly recommend if you are traveling alone. Safe neighborhood and beautiful to stay in.

Gorgeous property

I enjoyed my stay at this historic beautiful location in a lovely neighborhood in Portland. The owners were very responsive to any questions I had. The unit had everything I needed for a stay. The kitchen was outfitted with all you need to cook(not that I did!). Coffee and tea were provided, the spice rack was loaded, instant oatmeal and popcorn to pop were in the cupboards, and a small basket of treats was left on the kitchen table for me. I never rented a VRBO that was so organized with labels on all the drawers! Fans and heaters were available if needed. I only wish I was there when the garden was blooming. It looked so inviting with a lot of outdoor furniture to sit in. Hopefully I’ll be back!

Staying at “Brick House Beautiful” was truly a joy! The English cottage apartment is decorated in a charming vintage style. We appreciated the well stocked kitchen, Keurig pods, very comfortable bed and all of the little touches that make you feel at home. The gardens and outdoor spaces are beautiful and lovingly cared for. Bob and Ann take great pride in their home, are attentive to their guests and easy to communicate with. Thank you for making our time in Portland so memorable.

Quaint and quiet

Had a lovely stay at the private cottage, I was in town for a practicum and was able to walk 30 mins each morning regardless of weather and Laurelhurst neighborhood was beautiful to walk. Bob was friendly and greeted me upon arrival. And once I settled in I had complete privacy, it was exactly what I needed after long days of social interaction. The courtyard is so peaceful and beautiful. Hope to visit again next time I make it to Portland.

We loved the spot, super cute with vintage furniture! It was a little difficult finding where we supposed to go when we first got there, but that’s only because we showed up very late at night and got a bit lost in the fairytale-esque courtyard.

2nd Time I Stayed Here

This has become my go-to place when I visit Portland. It's good to be familiar with a place and know what you'll find. It's in a historic brick home. Laurelhurst is a great neighborhood and close to where my son and other friends live. The retro furnishings and reproductions take me back to the 1950s when I grew up. The kitchen has everything you need. It's a great space for a single or couple. It wouldn't work for active kids. The owners live upstairs and are available for any questions, but they are unobtrusive and you'll have privacy. The floors are made of tasteful tile. This is good. My 1950s home had the most grotesque linoleum in the world. I'm so glad not to see that again!

Adorable apartment!

Stayed 3 nights during a relocation. The apartment has everything needed for a comfortable stay, and the decor is thoughtful and retro. Everything ties together so well. Kitchen has a small gas stove, full size refrigerator, and in the “pantry” area has a toaster, microwave and coffee maker. Very convenient for making breakfast in the apartment. Bathroom is well appointed, clean and large. Bedroom has a comfortable bed, and a Roku tv with streaming for entertainment. On street parking was easy, and no problem finding a spot near the property. Highly recommend this apartment!
