About this property

Historic Guest House Located in Central City

Welcome to Multnomah House, a classic Portland guest home located in the central city. Built in 1904 this home maintains all historic charm but with the amenities of a modern home. Perfect for visitors who want the convenience and close proximity to all Portland has to offer with the quaintness of one of Portland’s oldest historic neighborhoods.

Multnomah House is located in near the Oregon Convention Center, the MAX Lloyd Station and shopping and entertainment along NE Broadway.

Whether you’re in Portland for a vacation, convention, wedding or other event, you and your group will feel right at home. During summer months, you can enjoy the front porch and Mediterranean garden or in the winter sit in the living room and enjoy the gas fireplace. The main house is where you’ll be staying while the ground level unit is occupied by the owner.

The kitchen is large and classic with subway tile wainscoting and beautiful fixtures. Completely stocked with all the items needed to prepare your meal de jour. Modern feature like a dishwasher and microwave also provided for real life demands.

There are two bathrooms. On the main floor, experience the life of the modern Turkish bath house. Toilet, sink and large double shower. Upstairs is a toilet, sink and a large claw foot tub/shower.

Formal dining room, living room and tv room will make you feel right at home.

There are 4 rooms, with two full and two queen size beds. One room with a queen size bed also has a full futon.

Summers can be enjoyed on the full size front porch, enjoying the Mediterranean garden.

We have a no pets policy and outside noise after 10pm is not allowed in keeping with our good neighbor agreement. Being a two unit home, some sound will travel between the ground level unit and the main floor of the house similar to staying at a hotel or living in a condo. Getting to the main home requires climbing 18 steps so this may be a consideration for some in your group. All bedrooms are located on the top floor of the house.

Some of the amenities mentioned in older reviews may no longer be available.

We want you to have a memorable trip so please ask for recommendations or items that you’ll need during your stay. We’ll do our best to accommodate you and enjoy sharing our city with visitors.

Wonderful and well decorated home in a safe and quiet neighborhood
I stayed here with a group of 8 women for a weekend getaway. The bathrooms are fabulous - I love the wall paper and one of the showers is practically a room!! I don’t know how easily it could sleep 10 adults as that would entail some couch sleepers or sharing a Full size bed. Overall it was great!!

Fabulous house and location
Beautiful house - it was the perfect place to stay with family and friends! We also really enjoyed the neighbourhood of interesting houses and gardens, fun restaurants and pubs and cocktail bars within walking distance, and easy access to wider Portland attractions. The host was also really nice and available if we needed anything!

Great house in great location
We had a great stay here as a mini college reunion for a friend's wedding! The location was perfect with most things either walkable or only a short ride away. The house itself is a bit older but in great condition. The kitchen and downstairs bathroom were both fantastic - we all wanted to wait to use the downstairs bathroom to shower because it was so nice. Will is very nice and responsive and left clear instructions for us as well as helpful guides. The only critiques are small and wouldn't stop us from staying here again at all: 1) the sound travels through the house with some creaky doors and floorboards, 2) there was only 1 futon although the listing says 2 (we thought we would need both when we booked but someone canceled so it didn't matter so we never said anything), and 3) the TV is limited to very basic options (we just wanted to have some ESPN on while hanging around and couldn't). The front windows are very large and open and we had some concerns they could allow people to see in easily so we just made a point to try not to leave anything that looked valuable in the living room. We never got the sense that the neighborhood was dangerous or anything though. Overall, great stay at a great house!

Amazing weekend in Portland!
The house was everything our group of 9 needed! It was spacious with lots of places to gather our group as well. It was within walking distance to everything we wanted and bus access to downtown for everything else. The city and transit were easy to navigate and Will was a fantastic host!

The best host and everything we could ask for in a property. Easily a full recommend!
We had family of all ages coming to Portland for a family reunion during our 2022 Christmas vacation and got hit with ice rain and freezing temperatures on one end and dangerously high winds on the other. Our host, Will, was a great communicator before we arrived and during our stay. He thoughtfully set out extra bedding for our group and when the weather went haywire and some of our party got stuck indoors during the high winds at the end of the stay, he generously gave them extra time to leave when it was safe for travel again. The property itself had everything we needed. A great kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, a variety of spaces to socialize, fun & functional bathrooms, and we loved the decor (especially old maps of Portland). The location was perfect for us - centrally located and close enough to everything we needed. Thank you again, Will, for making a complicated family trip full of possible pitfalls one filled with happy memories and memorable experiences. 5 stars!

Beautiful home for a holiday!
We stayed in Will's home for Thanksgiving this year and it was an excellent place to host. The kitchen was outfitted with everything you'd need (including a Kitchenaid mixer and extra large oven) and the location was close to several supermarkets, great coffee spots, and some bars and restaurants. Will was super helpful and welcoming and took extra care to ensure we'd have a pleasant stay. We were 7 adults and one child and everyone was very comfortable.

Lovely House
We really enjoyed staying in this home. We arrived late on our first night and had a little trouble finding parking due to our arrival time but had no problems checking in. Parking near the house was easier during the daytime hours. The house had everything we needed and the owner was very friendly and easy to work with.

Beautiful home in Portland
A group of us from work stayed here to attend a conference at the Portland Convention Center. It was a lovely home and in walking distance to many restaurants, cafes, and bakeries. The house was very clean, the kitchen was well stocked, and plenty of towels and blankets for our group. The host Will was very friendly, responsive, and helpful. I would love to bring my family to stay at this home in Portland next time.

Great family vacation
Having never been to the Portland area, I researched for weeks to find the right place for our family of 10 adults to stay. I can say I most certainly picked the right place for us. It was roomy enough for all of us, close enough for us all to walk to food/drinks etc. Close proximity to the mall was a plus. The front porch was a very popular gathering spot. Will was a fantastic host with suggestions and was very responsive. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to experience Portland's neighborhoods either by foot or by car. Street parking was plentiful I wouldn't change a thing. Thanks Will!

Beautiful home, centrally located
We loved this historic and comfortable property, within easy walking distance of many interesting spots and destinations. Will, the host, was very helpful and responsive. Definitely a great choice for our larger family group - we especially appreciated the big, vintage feel kitchen (plus dishwasher, yay!). The living room had generous seating options, and the big front porch was a definite plus. Thank you, Will!

Spacious and comfortable
Five of us stayed here while attending a conference at the convention center. We each had our own room and enjoyed the shared spaces as well. It's a comfortable walk to the convention center. I thought it might be noisy so close to a busy road, but it was surprisingly quiet. Will was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Really lovely and comfortable. Highly recommended.

This Victorian house was perfect for our large group traveling to Portland. The house was very clean. Although we didn’t get to meet the owners we were able to keep in touch via messaging if we had any questions and he was very helpful. Uber was super convenient since we were so close to everything. Thank you so much and maybe look forward to renting this beautiful home again.

Great for Groups
I rented this house to throw my childhood best friend a bachelorette party! The house is decorated so well and it’s really quite large! Everywhere we went that needed an uber was only about 10 minutes max. There is a lot of stuff walking distance and we even drove to the beach one day which was only about 30 minutes. You can’t beat this location. Our bride had an amazing time and all of the guests fit very comfortably. Would definitely stay here again. Will was a very pleasant host and even stopped by to welcome us. Really love the vibe.

We loved this house, Will, and Portland
A group of us rented Will's house for a conference. Its close proximity to the conference center meant we could walk to and from each day, which worked well. The house is so charming. Everything is restored and decorated tastefully. Will made sure we had everything we needed--extra blankets, another table, a bottle of wine--to feel at home. As in so many areas in Portland currently, there was construction across the street which woke us up early one morning. Will talked to the crew and came back with details of what we could expect the next few days, which were much quieter. I am a light sleeper and Will offered to refund us all our money if we needed to move which I appreciated but am SO thankful we didn't need to move because staying here felt special. All week my friends spoke glowingly about how beautiful the house was, how attentive Will was, and what a good job I did in finding it. I couldn't agree more!
