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, you can purchase it (all artworks are for sale), or you can book an art class during your vacation with the owner, whose onsite studio is in the garage!

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 owner, Leah, is an artist and art teacher, who lives and works on the property -- her painting studio is housed in the converted detached garage and she lives in a separate apartment in the basement with three cats. She is available if you need help, and is always happy to tour you around the studio, but will otherwise leave you alone to enjoy a peaceful vacation.

Our short-term rental permit number is: 17-155434-000-00-HO


During your stay at this vacation home, you're just a quick walk from University of Portland. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the vacation home.

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.

Amazing stay, amazing house, amazing host
The Art House was everything we hoped for- older home charm, immaculately cleaned, and in a perfect location to access the entire city. Leah couldn’t have been more gracious and accommodating. Gorgeous, authentic art gives this home the character you look for in a Portland home.

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.

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”.

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.
