Beautiful art filled home 15 minutes to downtown

This comfortable and newly remodeled home sits on a quiet residential street in the Ardenwald neighborhood a few blocks from the Portland border in Milwaukie. We are Superhosts with a 5 star rating and have been hosting this home since mid 2018.
It's thoughtfully decorated throughout with local original artwork that's been curated by us, also artists! The trendy Sellwood and Woodstock neighborhoods are a little over a mile away filled with locally owned shops. We have put a lot of care into remodeling and have made the home welcoming and relaxing, perfect for your Portland getaway!
As a fine art printmaking studio owner and ceramic artist, we're excited to fill the home with local art we love, and our own art including some handmade pots.
The beds are comfortable queen size mattresses with nice quality linens, and there are plenty of bath towels and washcloths.
All of the cleaning products are natural and earth friendly and we never use anything strong or artificially scented.
The air conditioning and heating units are new and keep the entire house very comfortable.
Parking is available in the driveway, long enough to easily park two vehicles.
The 850 sq ft house is on a large lot with two homes on the property. The neighbors in the other house are friendly and respectful.
The landscaping is mainly in it's infancy and we have been putting in native plants as well as flowers that attract pollinators and birds. You can watch the hummingbirds from the front window!
There are two bedrooms in this single story home. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots and pans, microwave, coffee maker and grinder, blender, and tea kettle. Filtered water and ice are on the refrigerator. The sunroom is where you’ll find the washer/dryer, ironing board and also has access to the deck and backyard.

This is the second year that we've stayed at this delightful little house. Myself, my husband, our daughter and her fiancee stay for a week in December to be near family for Christmas. Chris is amazing as a host, and the house is perfect for us. We'll be back next year :)

I love art that makes you smile. In this case the whole house and everything in it is a work of art Plus a very well equipped functional vrbo. Thank you Chris. If you want granite countertops, a 50 inch tv, and covered parking may not work for you, but for us it was the best ever. Neighborhood is great for walks. Milwaukie rocks.

Chris and Cynthia's home is in a nice, quiet neighborhood. We walked in the door to a cool home on a 90 degree OR day. Which was very much appreciated by my pregnant friend whom came with us. The 3 of us had a hard time getting out of the bed's they were so comfy! We loved all the options for the TV. We also liked the cold filtered water from the fridge. We will definitely be back when we are in the area.

Extremely Nice Place
After arriving at the property, we didn't know what to expect. But we were really surprised. The house was very organzed and clean. It was not that difficult to locate. The kitchen was organized and we were able to find everything we needed to make ourselves a meal. Bathroom hat on the toilet train products that we needed. Really, we didn't have to bring anything with us. Just about everything was provided for us except our toothbrush and hair brush. How would consider returning to this house again if we're in the area. I'm sure you will enjoy it as much as we did.

A Hidden Oasis
Our GPS seemed to be playing a practical joke, with all the convolutions it dictated to get us to the house. Set in a bit farther from the street than the ones on either side, we didn't recognize it until we were right in front. Once inside, we found that there was ample space, more than you might guess from the outside in front. The interior was immaculate and attractive, as well as subtly stylish. The two bedrooms were comfortable and far enough apart to make privacy possible. And the kitchen was attractive, large, and well-equipped -- including with high-quality coffee our host made available to us, and was great to wake up to. At the back of the house, beyond a utility room with washer and dryer, was the door to the back yard, which is complete with patio deck, table and chairs,and even a charcoal grill, which we put to use cooking salmon steaks and brats. Although its houses are fairly close together, the neighborhood was quiet during the two days we were there; and the back yard seemed somehow sequestered, giving us peace and also a feeling of assurance that we weren't bothering others. My wife walked into the room just now. When I told her I was writing this, she said of this property, "Yeah, it was wonderful. It had all the details." With that succinctly accurate observation of hers, I think I'll end my review.

WONDERFUL!
We are so tired of walking into a rental and being overwhelmed by fragrance. It happens so often that we are considering buying an rv to avoid it. This home was great.& just smelled clean. It was a small home but it had been remodeled and decorated with love. Very comfortable.Thank you to the owners for offering such a nice stay.

The house is super cute and was perfect for our stay! The second bedroom had enough room for our pack n play and the bed we slept in was very comfortable. I loved that they had all the streaming services so we could watch whatever without logging into our own. The kitchen had everything we needed to make breakfast and included coffee. It was only a short drive to museums and restaurants. Everything was very clean and comfortable. Would absolutely recommend!

We only stayed here for one night but it was a pleasant stay. The home had everything we needed. The kitchen was really cute and had everything we would have needed if we were to cook during our visit. We will definitely keep this home on our favorites for when we come back to Portland to visit.
