About this property
Welcome to Tandem House! Family-Friendly, Southeast Portland Gem!
Tandem House is a perfectly-situated sweet little abode; excellent for families, couples, and friends! Very walkable and highly desirable Richmond neighborhood boasts close proximity to all of Southeast Portland's many coffee shops, world-class restaurants, plethora of lounges and bars, and restorative outdoor spaces. We're just around the corner from Clinton Park, which is an amazing outdoor space to take the kids or the pets!
We are only an 11-minute walk from the Hinterland Bar & Food Carts, an 8-minute walk to Benbear's Beers and all the food carts at The Lot on Division, a 3-minute car ride to the famous Bagdad Theatre and Pub and all the amazing restaurants, bars, arcades, and public spaces that the Hawthorn and Division streets have to offer! If you're feeling adventurous, a short walk or drive (it's 1 mile away) brings you to the base of Mt. Tabor; the 196-acre city park that is perfect for a hike, a picnic, or a bike ride.The 360-degree view of Portland from the top is incredible!
Our home offers enough space for everyone to feel at home, while also showcasing her 95-year-old charm. During your stay, you'll notice the original wood floors, the glass door knobs, built-in-place cabinetry with the original leaded glass in the dining room, and the coved ceilings. We think she's pretty great!
Welcoming you as you come inside, you'll see the comfortable seating in the living room. Please make yourself comfortable! Our smart TV allows you to access all your own streaming services easily. The dining room offers seating for 6 and is a great place to play one of the many games or puzzles we offer, or to enjoy a homemade meal prepared in our well-appointed kitchen. Our large picture windows offer views of mature trees right across the street, and they're beautiful in any season! You'll find two bedrooms with super comfortable beds and luxury linens that will offer a restful nights' sleep. They both offer king sized beds. **Please note: Access to the sitting room with space for an additional guest is obtained by walking through one of the other bedrooms, but it does have doors that close it off. This set up makes for a perfect "family suite."
Our backyard is fully enclosed and is a great space to play with the kids. While enjoying the private back yard space, you'll be able to see a variety of local plants and succulents lovingly planted around the perimeter of the yard. When you're outside, you'll undoubtedly be visited by the two juvenile crows that were born in the pine trees behind the house last year. Their names are Cheryl and Russell (get it? they're crows...) and they love peanuts. You'll find some in the kitchen cabinet above the coffee pot. You can throw them out or lay a few on the railing outside the kitchen door and watch them collect their treasures through the kitchen window. It's really neat!
The attic and basement are our personal spaces and therefore, access is not permitted. Access to the garage is reserved for the owners, as well. Thank you for your understanding!
We love our home and hope you do, as well! We also love our neighbors and our neighborhood. Please be respectful while you're here. While we don't have cameras inside our home (we respect your privacy), we do have cameras and noise monitors outside. Please limit your outdoor merry-making to reasonable hours and make sure you observe quiet time after 9pm. **Please understand that if you fail to be respectful of that rule, and our few other rules, you may be asked to vacate our home. Thank you for your understanding and thank you for visiting us at Tandem House!

Great little house on a quiet street. The owner has thoughtfully stocked the house with all your needs. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others.
Lovely place to call home for a few days in Portland. Access to parking in the driveway was much appreciated. We also truly appreciated the special touches to make our stay comfortable.
Ashley was a great host! Very responsive and easy to communicate with. Checkin was seamless and the property is great. Excellent location in a cute Portland neighborhood -- we especially enjoyed exploring Division Street. Lots of cute restaurants, a brewery, and wine shop all within easy access.
Great dog-friendly place close to SE Portland highlights
This is really a charming older home. It was a comfortable place for us to stay while visiting family and exploring Portland. The owners have really prepared their guests for all things the dog owner might need, including gear and treats. We will definitely stay here again the next time we are in town!
Great place to stay with young kids. Used as a home base for exploring the different neighborhoods. Clean house, nice neighborhood! Felt right at home! Thank you!
Tandem house was a convenient location for us to explore the city of Portland and the Columbia River Gorge. The house was comfortable and the listing is accurate. Ashley communicated well and made check in and check out very easy. The kitchen is well-stocked and the goodie basket provided by the hosts was a nice touch. The linens were good quality and well stocked. Beds were comfortable and a variety of pillows were provided.
Property was in very good shape especially since it has been around for over 100 years. It was very well maintained. Items in the house worked better than I have seen in many of the newer homes.
Tandom house was perfect for our family. A very comfortable home that is VERY dog friendly!!! The kitchen is well stocked and had everything we needed to prepare Thanksgiving dinner!! Beds were very comfortable. Neighborhood is perfect for walking dogs. Hosts are very responsive!!!
Excellent SE PDX location. Walk to Clinton Park and use the playground, dog friendly and relax. Walk to 50th and Division for many restaurants and coffee. Home is clean and bright, off street parking and even central AC which seems to becoming a must in Portland.
Came to relax, shop, go to the zoo and just simply have no plans. We did just that, and this home was perfect for it. Centrally located, everything we had planned to do was within a 10-20 min drive. I did get a little anxious about parking at first because I drive a big SUV, but there was a driveway and instantly felt better :-) Loved all the children toys, my girls utilized all of them!
This house was charming and cute. It is in a quiet neighborhood, but not far from restaurants or other places (not close to downtown just FYI). The owner was quick to respond to any messages. Check in was easy breezy. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Very thoughtful about things. Labeled things to make it easier to find.
My stay in Ashley’s beautifully maintained two plus bedroom home couldn’t have gone more smoothly. Great host information on arrival….a local wine left on the counter…wonderfully comfortable beds…and off street parking…it was ideal. My 12 pound maltese appreciated the park near by and i appreciated how safe the neighborhood felt! The only slight issue was the one bathroom if more people staying…it was pretty tight! Oh…did i mention the private fenced backyard… for kids or pets..or a barbecue!
Hosted a family get together, the home was so cozy and pretty. Everyone felt at home. There were two bunk beds that we didn't know where there in the "kids room". My grandson kept gravitating to the cozy space. It was a little colder than I hoped so we didn't get to spend too much time in the back yard space, but it's very welcoming. Easy check in, big garbage cans (thank goodness). Lots of towels, and comfy blankets. I slept in the smaller room and the bed and bedding were great. The kitchen was very well equipped, including small appetizer dishes and spices. All in all a great place with responsive hosts. Thanks again for sharing your lovely space. My family had a great time. There's a small market less than two blocks away.
The house is absolutely adorable! So tastefully decorated and the beds and sheets were like sleeping on a cloud! Perfect size for our group of 6 adults and the keyless entry is so futuristic! I have never stayed in a rental home that had more kitchen supplies and utensils than even thought we’d need. It was stocked completely with spices and oils. Ashley was an amazing host! Very responsive with any and all questions. I’m giving this gem 10+ stars if I could! We’d definitely stay here again!
The Tandem House was exactly what we were looking for - a nice, quiet, clean place to stay while we scoured the SE neighborhoods for our permanent Portland home. Access was easy, location was central to all the places we wanted to check out and when we were done for the day, could sit out in the back and relax. A magnetic shower curtain liner could help future guests not getting water on the bathroom floor - that's the only suggestion needed - we literally had everything we needed.There was no need to communicate with Ashley while we were there but that's b/c we were all squared up before we got there and the house had everything ready for us.If we need to go out for another visit before moving to Portland permanently, the Tandem House will be an option for our next stay. Thank you!!
The owner was so pleasant and accommodating. The beds were comfy, lots of cozy blankets, and great shower pressure. Nice snacks and was well stocked with the essentials. Great stay for our family.
The little touches really matter....good coffee, well stocked kitchen, doggy covers for couches, dog supplies...we'll definitely stay again next time in Portland!
My Mother and I could not have been happier with this accommodation. We traveled to Portland for a visit with our lifelong friends and residents of the Tabor neighborhood. The location of this house made it a breeze to walk or take a very short drive to not only our friends’ house, but also Division shops and restaurants. This will be our go-to for future visits!
Ashley was a highly responsive host, friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed staying at the property. Our only disappointment was not meeting Russel and Cheryl- the two crows they provide peanuts for!
