About this property

Beautiful University Park Art House In N. Portland, Near U. Of P.

  • This spacious, comfortable well-appointed two-bedroom, one bath home is the perfect place to land in Portland! A short four-block walk from the University of Portland, the Art House is a convenient launching pad for any neighborhood you’d like to explore in the city – just to start, you are near the St. John’s, Alberta Arts, Mississippi/Boise, Overlook and downtown neighborhoods.

    Called the Art House, the 1924 bungalow showcases art and designer furniture by some of the area’s best artists. You can simply enjoy the art or you can purchase it (all artworks are for sale).
    There is plenty of space and all the amenities you need to make the Art House your home away from home. The home is fully air-conditioned and heated. The two bedrooms -- one with a king bed and one with a queen bed– are outfitted with luxurious 100 percent cotton linens. The bright full-size bathroom sports an extra-long tub and shower. WiFi is available throughout. The living room has a working fireplace and hosts two sitting areas, including a television with cable and DVD player. The dining room seats six at the handcrafted, curly maple table, and is the perfect place for romantic dinners or family and friend gatherings. The spacious kitchen has everything you need for cooking.

    The Art House is a non smoking household - all smoking must be done outdoors.

    The Art House sleeps four people in comfort. There is also a comfy foldout cot if you need another single bed. It is perfect for city visits, romantic getaways, visiting relatives (including students at the University of Portland), visiting faculty, family holidays, weekends with friends, or solo travelers and professionals who crave a more homey atmosphere than a hotel can provide.

    The Art House is pet friendly – well-behaved dogs and cats are welcome with pre-arrangement and a deposit. Shared with the owner is a sideyard with a quiet patio, and a ready BBQ for grilling.

    One off-street parking space is available, and there is plenty of street-side parking in this peaceful and quiet neighborhood. You will sleep soundly!

    The onsite owners, Leah and Rob, live in the house in a separate basement apartment. Leah is an artist and Rob is a stagehand. They are available if you need help, and are always happy to chat, but they respect your privacy and will otherwise leave you alone to enjoy a peaceful vacation.

Charming House near University

This was a terrific spot for my wife and I to stay with our pup on a short trip down to Portland. The house has lots of charm, and the proximity of the University of Portland made for a great place to walk around with our dog. Will definitely look to stay there again next time we’re in town.

Quiet neighborhood and friendly and responsive host. The Art House is close to grocery stores, restaurants and food pods. Also, close to major highways and airport. If you enjoy the character of an older home and are looking for peace and quiet, this home might just be for you.

Great Stay At a Great Location

Wonderfully warm, well-appointed 100 year-old home in a beautiful Portland neighborhood. The owners were welcoming and available without being obtrusive in any way. The art throughout the house is amazing and much of it is for sale by the home owner. The location is perfect - we were visiting family - and all attractions were easy to get to without having to worry about the hustle and bustle of the major thoroughfares. We would certainly stay here again when we visit Portland.

Wonderful stay.

The property is very central to all activities we had planned. It is in a very quiet neighborhood. The owner who lives on site in the basement was wonderful, and we loved visiting her artist shop in a building on the site. The king bed was excellent. We did not prepare meals there but the coffee was outstanding. We plan to return everytime we visit our son in St. Johns.

Paradise in University Park

What a beautiful gem of a home this is. Nicely decorate, lots of local art and very homey. Close to everything and yet so private and quiet. We loved being able to bring our pup and have our daughter and partner over for dinner. Leah delivered everything as promised and we will definitely be back! Thank you so much.

Comfortable work-cation at the Art House

The property is in a nice location and was well appointed. I personally did not make use of the kitchen much but it seemed well stocked. I wasn’t left wanting for anything during the stay. Home was comfortable for work-cation, the WiFi worked well and A/C was a bonus on warmer days. One last note for taller people, the shower was plenty tall for at least up to 6’6”.

Short visit with family

The house was clean. It is in need of freshening up with the paintwork as everything seemed a little worn. The outside needs some clean-up- garden overgrown with bicycle parts and chair parts laying around. Owners tried to hide this by having all of the window blinds drawn but this made it quite dark inside. Cats were delightful.
