Sunny 1400 SQFT Dutch Colonial in Portland Heights - 5 min to downtown, NW 23rd

Sunny Stanhope Cottage is a sunny, spacious 120 year old Dutch Colonial Duplex in the beautiful, peaceful, historic Portland Heights neighborhood overlooking downtown Portland.

We are located in a quiet historic neighborhood, surrounded by nature, with plenty of space to go on walks and bike riding but close to downtown and restaurants. Bunnies, squirrels, chipmunks and deer can be spotted as well as many song birds. With our two outdoor decks and large kitchen and living room it is a perfect place to relax with your family.

The duplex is only 5 minutes (just over a mile) to the shops, restaurants and cafes of the Alphabet District (NW 23rd), downtown and Pearl. Close to OHSU and PSU. The 1400 square foot lower duplex is available year round for stays up to 5 weeks and features an open floor plan, two decks with site views up to Council Crest, southern exposure for sun all day long, two bedrooms with queen beds, a fold down couch bed for one more person in the living room, a beautiful dinning room for 8 people, a fully equipped kitchen (perfect for home cooked meals) and a very large living room. Great for family gatherings for holidays, showers, weddings, graduation, etc.

Please note that the bedrooms are organized in a tandem layout with a hall to the bathroom between them. So our place is better for single couples, families and groups of friends than for two unrelated couples who may want privacy during sleep hours. Per city regulation our max occupancy is 5 overnight.

The immediate neighborhood offers excellent walking, jogging and biking along tree lined streets filled with beautiful old Portland homes. Council Crest (Portland's highest point) and Washington Park Rose Garden are 20 minutes by foot. The Vista Spring Cafe is a 5 minute walk away and close to the bus stop for line 51.

The duplex also features a 7 foot Mason Hamlin Piano which is available to serious pianists with advance notice. A guitar is available to all. Keith and Rocio are your hosts. We live in the upper duplex. We are quiet and work full time but friendly and helpful if you need us. House is equipped with a stereo and smart tv with basic cable only (bring your books or tablet for streaming) and it has central heat and air conditioning via our new heat pump. Summers in Oregon tend to not be very hot with low humidity. We also provide both fans and space heaters in addition to the heat pump.

Owner had many helpful recommendations for dining spots, places to see, and walks and hikes to take. Many brochures and maps to help with planning. Lots of unique pieces and artwork in the unit.

Lovely property in a desirable area

We felt very lucky to find this property in an area close to the apartment of the family member we were visiting and in such a nice area. The host was very accommodating and responsive and the property was as described or even better! The kitchen and dining room were fully outfitted and spacious so that we were able to host a small gathering of family and friends for brunch instead of having to go to a restaurant which would have been difficult for one of the attendees.

Comfortable bungalow

The place was perfect for me and my two sisters. Very comfortable and safe. However it was difficult to find with the twisting roads and closeness of the homes. Also, the roads were very narrow and steep making it difficult navigating the area.

This is a beautiful place with a grand piano, lovely art and furniture and in a great neighborhood. The owners were friendly and walked us to the door, came to say goodbye, and helped us figure out parking. The neighborhood is quiet and full of wonderful homes and trees. They have an incredible selection of books. It was a bit cool inside, which we like, especially for sleeping. It was snowing in early March, which is unusual. Would definitely stay again!

Just amazing

This July we spent 4 days as guests of Keith and Rocio in Portland. The location of the apartment, its facilities and the hospitality and attentiveness of Keith and Rocio were just great. Almost like an oasis, we were able to relax in the apartment with its wonderful terrace away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Portland. There is even a great Italian restaurant within walking distance and within a few minutes by car you can be downtown or in Washington Park (the beautiful recreational area in the hills above Portland). We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back if the opportunity arises!

Outstanding Vacation Apartment

We stayed here for a week at the start of our visit to the Pacific Northwest. Congratulations to Rocio, who decorated the apartment beautifully and made it feel like a home! Loved the artwork. Nice, quiet section of Portland. Fully equipped, we had absolutely everything we needed. Large, comfortable patio area. Don't miss the Japanese Garden or the Saturday PSU Farmers Market. Our friendly host Keith was always readily available with assistance and recommendations. Thanks especially for recommending Papa Haydn and the superb Boccone Dolce! We would happily return.
