About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Secluded large home. Wooded setting. Easy commute to downtown.

Fully furnished and decorated, this house is very secluded Victorian on 45 Forested acres built in the 90's perched over a hillside with great views on acreage. It's 6 bedrooms are able to accommodate 12 guests with more space to spread out if needed. There are nearby birdwatching, hiking, and natural areas. Sauvie Island is just a 4 minute car ride away. Heading into downtown Portland for dinner or attractions will take you 17 to 20 minutes door to door in most cases.

•For larger gatherings:
•This home is a great place to feel like you're a hundred miles from the city. Very private and quiet.
•Most rooms set up with Web TV (ROKU) devices.
•Fully stocked kitchen. Bring your own food, replace what you use from the pantry.

Guest Access

Guests have access to the entire home but for a storage room. This includes the main floor with two suites (own bathrooms), living, dining rooms and kitchen, the second floor with two bedrooms, shared bath, loft, and a third floor tower for storm watching, star gazing, or pretending you're a pretty pretty princess (kids LOVE it). The daylight basement level has a pool table and TV lounge, two more bedrooms, wet bar, laundry, and a family bath.

Interaction with Guests

I may meet guests for check in or provide door code and communicate via email or text. My presence is very minimal and apart from being available via phone, I may be doing maintenance on the grounds, but try to reserve that for when visitors are not present.

The Neighborhood

McNamee is a quiet rural street in the hills just beyond Forest Park. The house is set back far from the road. You will have a sense of being nestled in the forest on a perch with a great view Northward.

Getting around

The nearest public transit is the city bus that goes as far as Sauvie Island, just 2 miles short of the house. You will certainly need a vehicle.

For pets: Single pets for shorter term stays. Must not be left unattended

Wonderful 4 Night Stay in October ‘24 with Family
We had an enjoyable stay at this charming home! I recommend this home to all, especially if you have a large group as there is plenty of space!!! Secluded, yet within 15-20 mins to anything you need. The views kick off during the drive in. Our adult kids loved the different floors, especially the basement! Views are gorgeous at any time of day or night. Star gazing is amazing in the back deck too. Lots of sunlight through the windows, yet not a bit cold. The home is very cozy! Open a few windows for a little breeze and outdoor sounds at night. Thank you Brian for being very attentive from the beginning through the end!

Beautiful Views
6 of us stayed in this Home. Positives are great views, very stocked kitchen, towels and blankets. For us the furniture is very dated. And knowing the home is in the mountains in a wooded area we understand the spiders just did not appreciate them. Also some areas need a bit more cleaning, i.e. the upper window ledges and floors. all in all, we enjoyed the stay and the beautiful Oregon landscape.

Pics don’t do it justice
Absolutely loved this property. Most VRBOs feel empty, like a fake movie set but Brian’s rental felt so homey and authentic. The decor was beautiful. Everything was stocked. The place was massive with beautiful, secluded grounds. I felt like a millionaire staying here!! Communication was amazing. Loved everything. 10/10

Amazing property & great stay experience!
We loved this place - location, views, tucked into nature but still accessible based on the places we were traveling to from the place as our home base, and Brian the property manager was super communicative & easy to work with. We ended up requesting a late checkout because we needed a bit more time to get our ducks in a row with a few friends leaving at different times and he got back to us within the hour and extended our checkout time to accommodate. Clean property & charming interior. Will definitely stay here again if we have the reason to be in the area!

Great place for a family reunion
We booked this property for a 12 person family reunion. Ample sleeping, showers, and bathrooms. The large kitchen was awesime, and the outdoor grill a bonus. Awesome views of the mountains was a surprize for my out of town family. The host was great and resolved a small issue we had early on. I'd stay here again.

Wedding/Vacation
The owner met us for check-in. He is gracious and easy to talk to and responsive to questions/requests. Our group of 12 was very comfortable and found ample space to spread out. The kitchen is well stocked with plenty of cook/bake ware, cutlery, flatware, various glassware and dishes. The house is fun to explore with a lighted moon phase graphic built into the dining room floor. It is a very private and quiet location.

Portland area golf trip with friends
This property worked great for the 8 of us traveling from the Seattle area to the Portland area for a full week of golf in the region. There are plenty of golf courses within easy driving distance. We brought and cooked our own food, so I can't comment on the nearby eateries, but I've been told there are several nearby. The house is great, with plenty of room for all of us, and the amenities like the pool table and TV room were great. Brian and Kathie were easy to work with. The setting is very secluded, and the views from the turret were worth the effort to climb the stairs.

Perfect Fit
We stayed at this property with all of my husband's siblings and their spouses. There were six rooms with either a King or Queen bed in them. It was a perfect fit for all of us and we enjoyed the property very much. We even were able to pick some wild blackberries that we enjoyed with some vanilla ice cream. We had no problems with the property. We enjoyed the views from the back porch, but the trees could use a trim for an even better view. I would highly recommend this property if you are in Oregon.

Group stay for wedding in Portland
A group of us stayed here a few days while in town for a wedding. Its quiet and peaceful. Perfect for the mornings, with a great view, to relax and get ready for our days in the city. Everything we needed to do was no more than 20 to 30 minutes away. We prefer to be away from the city when its time to shut down. Its an older house but clean. Improvements are constantly being made so expect this place to only get better beyond this review. Brian was really friendly and gave good advice on some good tourist places to adventure to. There were no problems to have him attend to but we knew he was there if we needed. They even let us extend checkout after making sure there was not another guest right behind us, very grateful for that! Very happy with our stay!

Nice quiet and secluded lodging
The house was quiet and secluded, which was very nice for 10 people to stay at and not worry about being too loud. The house does need some minor upgrades and repairs but it is still was very nice. The house does not have central air conditioning. It does have one window air conditioner, but leaving windows open at night does cool down the inside well.

Beautiful house!
This house was so beautiful and had so much space for our two families. The house could use some kids dishes and there were no towels hooks in the master room, which was a little strange. But otherwise, no complaints. Would recommend and stay again.

Enormous home with lovely views
The house was terrific for our group of 12. Plenty of space to spread out and to gather too. Could use some maintenance, such as replacing the damaged carpets in the upstairs bedrooms. A second refrigerator would be a terrific addition to the home. Easy access to St. John's and Hillsboro too. We wanted to make use of the tower room but it was a little dirty with limited seating options. Overall we would consider booking this property for our next gathering
