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.

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. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda V., San Antonio 23 May 2015 #### Cozy & perfect for two! We stayed in Grandpa's Bunk for 5 nights and enjoyed the comfortable queen bed, large rain spout shower, and full kitchen. The bunkhouse is actually the family's garage & workshop converted into a studio apartment w/all the amenities needed to provide a warm and welcoming environment. Jean has decorated with her family's heirlooms, including family pictures and her grandfather's workshop tools and lots of travel brochures for the area, as well as plenty of books & cookbooks. She had left a homemade appetizer on the table to welcome us as well as seltzer water to refresh us after our drive in from the coast. When she arrived shortly after, she oriented us to the area, provided valuable information about what to visit and how to get there, as well as tips about area restaurants and the neighborhood. The neighborhood is very eclectic with plenty of small Asian and other ethnic restaurants within walking distance. The property is close to the Hollywood district, which also has lots of shops and restaurants to wander around and within a couple of miles of other neighborhoods with charming Craftsman style homes and beautiful architectural icons, such as the Baghdad Theater. It is also about a 10-15 minute drive from the airport, which was great when we returned our rental car and met our flight. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Portland and plan to go again. We will certainly contact Jean to see if Grandpa''s Bunk is available for our stay. It was perfectly located and charmingly appointed for our stay. ##### Linda V. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tracy M. 27 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful Host Our host Jean was wonderful. My husband and I experienced such a relaxing visit here. EVERYTHING you could possibly need when going on vacation, Jean provides in this cozy space. Her garden and outside patio added a “spiritual touch.” I also must mention the AWESOME shower! When we visit Portland again, we’ll definitely stay here!!! ##### Tracy M.

I really only slept there but it was a very peaceful, cozy spot. Jean, the host, is lovely and accommodating. I would definitely stay here again and hopefully spend more time enjoying the property! ##### C B.

Jean was such a lovely host and met us right away to show us around. You can tell she puts a lot of care into her place. I must say the tile shower she put together herself was absolutely devine! Jean also gave us advice on where to eat which was so nice considering this was our first time visiting the area. We thoroughly enjoyed Kens Artisan pizza, its worth the wait! Thankyou for making our mother son trip an amazing experience that we will always remember! ##### Teaira K.

I really appreciate the ability to travel with my pup. The cabin was very clean, the garden is beautiful and Jean was a delightful host. Will definitely return when visiting friends again. ##### Joanne N.

Jean is a perfect host, only sad I didn’t get to meet her kitties (they are shy and it was raining). Did get to meet the very friendly nextdoor kitty though! ##### Bix W.

We visited in mid-October, when the many trees lining the streets were filled with colorful autumn leaves, and several homes were decorated with creative Halloween designs. Jean, the property host, was friendly and great to work with. The location was convenient and the price was terrific. We would stay here again. ##### Connie Z.
