About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Secluded large home. Wooded setting. Easy commute to downtown.

*temporary note* I will be re roofing sometime this winter 2025 to summer 2026. I will avoid any work when guests are present, but you may see scaffolding on one portion of the house at a time. *end note*. Fully furnished and decorated, this house is very secluded Victorian on 45 Forested acres built in the 90's perched over a hillside with great views on acreage. Its 6 bedrooms are able to accommodate 12 guests with more space to spread out if needed. There are nearby birdwatching, hiking, and natural areas. Sauvie Island is just a 4 minute car ride away. Heading into downtown Portland for dinner or attractions will take you 17 to 20 minutes door to door in most cases.

•For larger gatherings:
•This home is a great place to feel like you're a hundred miles from the city. Very private and quiet.
•Most rooms set up with Web TV (ROKU) devices.
•Fully stocked kitchen. Bring your own food, replace what you use from the pantry.

Guest Access

Guests have access to the entire home but for a storage room. This includes the main floor with two suites (own bathrooms), living, dining rooms and kitchen, the second floor with two bedrooms, shared bath, loft, and a third floor tower for storm watching, star gazing, or pretending you're a pretty pretty princess (kids LOVE it). The daylight basement level has a pool table and TV lounge, two more bedrooms, wet bar, laundry, and a family bath.

The Neighborhood

McNamee is a rural street in the hills just beyond Forest Park. The house is set back far from the road. You will have a sense of being nestled in the forest on a perch with a great view Northward.

Getting around

The nearest public transit is the city bus that goes as far as Sauvie Island, just 2 miles short of the house. You will certainly need a vehicle.

For pets: Single pets for shorter term stays. Must not be left unattended

Beautiful home for family

This house was spectacular for a weekend graduation trip. There was sooo much space- the view is unparalleled, and the property owners were so kind! You definitely need a car to stay here- as it’s about a 20 min drive to things- but it feels so safe, welcoming and wonderful!

Great place for a family reunion

We booked this property for a 12 person family reunion. Ample sleeping, showers, and bathrooms. The large kitchen was awesime, and the outdoor grill a bonus. Awesome views of the mountains was a surprize for my out of town family. The host was great and resolved a small issue we had early on. I'd stay here again.

Amazing property & great stay experience!

We loved this place - location, views, tucked into nature but still accessible based on the places we were traveling to from the place as our home base, and Brian the property manager was super communicative & easy to work with. We ended up requesting a late checkout because we needed a bit more time to get our ducks in a row with a few friends leaving at different times and he got back to us within the hour and extended our checkout time to accommodate. Clean property & charming interior. Will definitely stay here again if we have the reason to be in the area!

A Wonderful Christmas Was Had By All

This three story, 6 bedroom home is located on a hilltop overlooking the Columbia River. We were a group of 15 - adults and kids. There were plenty of beds, several different living spaces which provided multiple options for noisy kids, game loving adults and quiet readers and a huge table for dining. The management was very helpful, quick in response to inquiries yet not invasive. This was our second time staying here and it worked perfectly for us!.

Magical getaway

This place is an oasis that provided an amazing escape for my group of friends from portland. Feels like you’re in another world. Only complaint is a few quirky lack of ammentites: bring your own ice… and no disposal in the sink. Small gripes in the scheme of things. The reviews about the well stocked kitchen (for appliances) wer 100% true. Beds were comfy and lots of towels

Absolutely loved this property. Most VRBOs feel empty, like a fake movie set but Brian’s rental felt so homey and authentic. The decor was beautiful. Everything was stocked. The place was massive with beautiful, secluded grounds. I felt like a millionaire staying here!! Communication was amazing. Loved everything. 10/10

Beautiful house!

This house was so beautiful and had so much space for our two families. The house could use some kids dishes and there were no towels hooks in the master room, which was a little strange. But otherwise, no complaints. Would recommend and stay again.

Beautiful Views

6 of us stayed in this Home. Positives are great views, very stocked kitchen, towels and blankets. For us the furniture is very dated. And knowing the home is in the mountains in a wooded area we understand the spiders just did not appreciate them. Also some areas need a bit more cleaning, i.e. the upper window ledges and floors. all in all, we enjoyed the stay and the beautiful Oregon landscape.
