Private room in Milwaukie
4.83 out of 5 average rating, 12 reviewsPrivate bed & bath in Portland 5min from Downtown
I had a wonderful stay at Sygarry’s place. The private bedroom and bathroom provided the perfect level of comfort and privacy. The location was ideal, as it was within walking distance to downtown/PSU and had easy access to transportation options like buses, street cars, and the Max. The host was incredibly friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this Airbnb for anyone visiting Portland!

5 out of 5 average rating, 20 reviewsLuxury Waterfront Townhouse
Brad’s Place is a fantastic spot that I would highly recommend! The location is perfect, with easy access to local amenities like grocery stores and cafes, making it convenient to explore the area without any hassle. The place itself is impeccably clean, with well-kept rooms and fresh linens, which made our stay very comfortable. Brad's attention to detail with cleanliness really stood out. Communication with Brad was smooth and efficient. He was responsive and available to answer any questions or address any concerns, even at a moment's notice. It’s clear he genuinely cares about his guests' experience. All in all, a great stay, and I’d definitely book again!
Rental unit in Washougal
4.7 out of 5 average rating, 43 reviewsOn the Washougal River, One Half Mile From Town
We adored the quiet with sounds from the river, the homey interior with such travel wanderlust, and the responsive host who made sure we could get in after a delayed flight. The scenery and location for the price cannot be beat! Thank you to Donna and Darylynn, we had a wonderful trip and hope to come back for longer next time.
Rental unit in Dayton
5 out of 5 average rating, 266 reviewsDale Farm Apartment on Hazelnut Orchard & Pond
Rick & Cathy have gone above and beyond with very thoughtful touches throughout the entire studio. When you think they have provided all the amenities, there is more that you didn’t realize you forgot. ;) You will be very comfortable. They are extremely generous hosts. We will be back. This is a very lovely location, near Domaine Serene, and many more lovely wineries are nearby. It is also very private. The kitchen is impeccable and set up to cook, if desired. We received many delightful treats, including a cozy bed for our little Zephy, and the hot tub was adjacent to the front door, complete with robes and slippers. You will not go without here. McMinnville is 10 minutes away, and there is a good eatery even closer by. We also enjoyed the kayaks on the pond.
Rental unit in Lake Grove
5 out of 5 average rating, 7 reviewsSpringCreek Townhome
Our hosts made us feel very welcome with nice touches that made us feel at home right when we walked in. The furniture is quite comfortable, and the location is great for enjoying the metro Portland area. The home is lovely with beautiful outdoor spaces for enjoying the wooded setting. The test of a great host is not that everything goes well, but how they respond when something happens. One of the appliances had a problem, and Andrew & Lori responded quickly and graciously to resolve things. They passed that test with flying colors. We really enjoyed our time in Lake Oswego, and this house helped make that possible. We absolutely would stay again if the occasion arose.
Rental unit in Brush Prairie

Eileen and her husband were fantastic hosts. Their home is beautiful, and it had everything that I needed. I could not have asked for a better place or host. Will stay again.
Rental unit in Troutdale
4.86 out of 5 average rating, 50 reviewsCozy craftsmen, at the Gateway to the Gorge
Excellent place to stay, right by the river with access to the State park nearby. Quiet and solid amenities, albeit the sauna wasn't operational. Sugarpine is right down the road (a must visit), and the space itself was perfect for my needs. Highly recommend this if you're staying in Troutdale.
Rental unit in Vancouver
4.98 out of 5 average rating, 45 reviewsUpscale Lakefront ADU w/ Access to Pickleball Ct.
Do not hesitate to book if you are a single, couple or small family that wants a peaceful, quiet stay at the lake. Wow. Such a great view, lovely private deck! The hosts were absolutely amazing and Lucy the dog was cute but she was scared of us so we never got to pet her. Other than that ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ all around! Will definitely book this one again!

Home in Tualatin
4.91 out of 5 average rating, 99 reviewsGorgeous Lake Front Home, Central Location
Many reviews state that the pictures online don't come near the experience of actually being in the space. We felt like we were staying in a palace. It is a very spacious, elegant, and well-designed home. The construction and materials used for this town home are pure perfection. (I want the name of the contractor!) The location was perfect for us due to its proximity to family. For the moment, the outside patio is not finished and the handrails were removed. For this reason, I would caution families with young children (children old enough to open a lock when you are not looking) to hold off until the work is finished. It was rainy and we were busy every day, so it did not matter to us. I am sure this work will be done soon. This home would be so amazing to host a family event or dinner. Absolutely perfect stay! It was fun to be onsite to watch the preparations for the local Fall Festival "Pumpkin Regatta." The location is amazing.
Home in Vancouver
4.92 out of 5 average rating, 24 reviewsLuxury Home in Heart of Vancouver / Quiet & Cozy
We chose this place for a wake after a quiet sudden death of a family member. It was spacious and bright with a well-equipped kitchen and a large table (seats 6), plus a cozy couch and chair. The setting was perfect for this memorable event. I want to thank Marcus for the care he took in providing it. My only note would be that, if you are staying with more than three people, the plates and glassware are rather limited. We bought some mason jars and paper plates across the street at the Safeway.

5 out of 5 average rating, 94 reviewsThree water falls, a river and a lodge.
Well worth the drive from Arizona this was my husband and I’s first time ever ever been to Washington and it is absolutely beautiful. This was a great spot to fall in love with the state and I know there’s so much more for us to see we will be back but next time with the kiddos! Every fall my husband and I take a fall trip just him and I to a new place and this is one of my favorite places!! So peaceful! We even added an extra day!
Home in Milwaukie
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 89 reviewsRiverside Living!
This house was everything we needed! The kitchen and house were extremely well stocked and the furniture was good quality. It really felt like a cozy home. The view was spectacular. Tons on wildlife and activity on the water. Seals, bald eagles and blue herons. Great location for easy access to Portland. Eric was very helpful and responsive. Enough space for the whole family to have privacy. The river access was easy. I could live there! We were sad to leave.
Home in Southwest Portland
4.93 out of 5 average rating, 176 reviewsSpacious Forest Retreat w/ Hot Tub & Views
We so enjoyed our time staying here. My toddler called it the treehouse and didn’t want to leave! Perfect for a family with kiddos, really beautiful surroundings and a very comfortable home. We slept comfortably, the living room was a dream to relax in after our outings and the kitchen did everything we needed it to. I would recommend this place to anyone staying with kids or just as a couple. We will surely be back for our next visit to Portland!

4.98 out of 5 average rating, 220 reviewsIncredible River House in the Columbia River Gorge
If you’re even considering it, do it! This place is just absolutely perfect, upscale and rugged at the same time. From the setting on the river, to the design of the house, to the amenities and thoughtful touches throughout, it’s all just awesome. The hot tub on the deck alone is worth the price of admission.

Absolutely wonderful time here! We booked it for a small corporate leadership retreat and it was perfect! So many spaces to collaborate and have fun! The kitchen is so well stocked and incredible, and the entire house was so clean and well decorated. They left a sweet goody basket and well stocked coffee bar as well, incredible honestly! We will absolutely be doing our next meeting here!
Waterfront condo rentals
Condo in Troutdale
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 38 reviewsQuiet Townhouse, 3 bed, 2.5 bath, 12 min to PDX
We couldn't have been happier! The townhouse was so comfortable, so clean, so well-appointed and so quiet that we immediately felt right at home. Helen is definitely a Superhost: she made every part of the rental easy and comfortable.
Condo in Southwest Portland
4.91 out of 5 average rating, 56 reviewsOne bedroom condo on the Willamette River Path!
I had a great stay! The condo was very comfortable -- it felt like a home away from home. The location was perfect for me, midway between downtown Portland (where I have friends living) and Lake Oswego (where my family lives). Very quiet location -- don't be concerned by its proximity to a train track, which is for the local trolley that runs seasonally. Willamette Park is less than a block away where you can enjoy nice outdoor strolls, and there are some great local amenities nearby, including Zupan's Market for groceries and some wonderful restaurants (incl. Cafe DuBerry, St Honore Boulangerie and Buffalo Gap Saloon). Thank you to Emily and Brian for their hospitality! They reached out multiple times during my visit to see if I needed anything. And I loved the little touches that showed their guest focus: a variety of power cords for charging devices, coffee machine (with coffee!), sets of earplugs next to the bed in case of snorers, board games, etc. Highly recommend!
Condo in Southwest Portland
4.93 out of 5 average rating, 86 reviewsLuxury Penthouse: City, Mountain & River Views
Beautiful split apartment, full kitchen is extremely useable, nice big bed, walk-in shower is fantastic. Very quiet for being close to Macadam Ave and grocery store, I can't remember hearing any street noise. The east-facing view is trees and sky, no towers blocking the sunrise, excellent. It's too nice for kids, and too many stairs for limited mobility folks, but great for me. Cozy and clean, with good communication from the owners. Will stay again when working in South Portland.
Condo in Lake Oswego
5 out of 5 average rating, 5 reviewsPeaceful Getaway in downtown Lake Oswego
Thank you Michelle and Sarah for a wonderful stay! Communication was excellent from start to finish. Michelle and Sarah were so accommodating with all of our requests, and were so kind to give us suggestions/recommendations since we aren’t totally familiar with the area yet. The place was so cozy, and a great location close to restaurants and shops! We will definitely be back, and will absolutely book with Michelle and Sarah again!
