We accept dogs & cats guests in both studios. Our pet guest fee is $75 per pet guest per stay. We are fragrance free here and ask guests to use no air deodorizers or scented laundry products.

MORE INFORMATION ON OUR HOME AND NEIGHBORHOOD We Johnson's are of the mind that life is art, and we've had this property since 1950\. So whether you choose our more affordable lower level basement suite with galley and stunning shower (Auntie's Hideaway) or our lovely stand-alone backyard studio with vaulted ceilings (Grandpa's Bunkhouse), expect to walk into charm and history--as well as quality. We are of relatively humble means here, but what we do, we try to do right. \*The Grounds: This home is reminiscent of a Tuscan garden. Between the back beds and the front curbside gardens, your host Jean Johnson, grows much of the family's own organic produce year round. Our LL Bean picnic table seats 6\. A flower garden and fountain make for an exceedingly inviting scene. \*The Neighborhood: We are 10 minutes from the airport and 20 to downtown. Also 3 of Portland's hip neighborhoods--The Beaumont, Alberta Arts, and Mississippi Avenue--are 15 minutes away. We're also on the east side of the city, where it's easy to hop on the freeway to the Columbia River Gorge, which is listed as a National Scenic Area. We are in walking distance is Noodle Flat, where many of Portland's Asian restaurants line Sandy Boulevard--and Otto's Wood-Fired Pizza packs 'em in nightly. A major grocery is 3 blocks away, as is the historic Fairley's Pharmacy where you can sit at the lunch counter from the 1920s and order malteds made on the old fashion green machines. Annie's Doughnuts is just around the corner, and their fresh French crullers with maple icing are well worth the stroll. And for those interested in meditation, Dharma Rain Zen Center is 10 minutes by car, as is the Grotto. Espresso and croissants worthy of Portland's food culture are also 10 minutes by car over at Grand Central Bakery and Jim and Patty's on Fremont, as is Black Bird, an excellent unpretentious wine bar. Our neighborhood is safe to jog in and walk at night. Families with young children grace our block, and parents are often out with their charges for happy hour in the evening--spontaneous street gatherings at which guests are always welcome. Happy trails...We hope to see you soon.

Jean welcomed us and our two cats back. She went above and beyond to make our stay as pleasant as possible. We stayed two weeks spending a lot of time with our son and his family who live nearby. The Bunkhouse was a cozy and safe home base for us and the cats. I have no doubt we'll be staying again on our next visit from Minnesota. ##### Brenda S.

I was looking for a short stay where I can experience life like any ordinary American living in their home and city. Jean was a great host for Grandpa's and she has a nice touch with the interior of the cabin, which is well maintain as well as applying some essential upgrades so that it's modernized while still retaining the originality of Grandpa's structural integrity. Jean also have her garden fill with seasonal farm produce which she grown herself. I had a great experience in picking some raspberries myself, that's a first experience for me too. The cabin is just nice and cozy enough for two persons, but I have it for myself, which was great\~\~ Furthermore, Jean also introduced me some aspects of the surrounding areas in the neighborhood, where supermarkets like Safeway is just less than 5 min walk. Great for people who likes to cook their meal, where I did just that, very satisfying. And if you prefer to get more, bus 12 can take you to whole food markets too. Overall, the neighborhood is safe and quiet, as I have no trouble roaming either day or night. Last but not least, the cats are a little shy (to me) but they are definitely cute! ##### Fwu Cherng S.

Jean was a pleasant, thoughtful, and caring hostess who clearly takes amazing care of the property with attention to all amenities. There was an amazing and seasonal garden that truly felt like a paradise, a well-stocked kitchen with all necessities (multiple types of coffee pot, oven/fridge/new microwave/etc.), and additional, modern amenities like a good ac unit to help cool down during the summer. The rainhead shower with italian tiles and a skylight bring you to a tuscan countryside... add those factors to a hammered copper sink, historic photos of the area, and abundant arching sunflowers, and I felt like I was in a charming oasis! The host, Jean, was readily-present, as she lives adjacent, and she was very kind and helpful during checkin+in case we needed anything, like the time when she forewarned me about a neighborhood filming event that required I move my car a house up to be safe! She was a gracious host, and I also felt very safe in the neighborhood as a LGBTQ+ person--even alone through day and night. Plus, the cats in the garden just outside the sunlit patio were absolute delights! My stay was complicated as I was renting alone but renting for two, due to a friend who was helping me move out of the PNW for personal reasons--I can honestly say that if I had stayed in this neighborhood and an apartment or standalone like this lovely cabin earlier in my 4.5 years in the area, I would have had a harder time leaving! I highly recommend this rent ##### Ryx T.
