River's Rest Riverfront Property
Nice property right by the River. Comfortable stay and a good value. Beds were comfortable. The hosts set up a fire in the fire pit for us which was a nice bonus. They were also flexible on check out time.

Private 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!

Luxury Waterfront Townhouse
Shower 10/10, bed 10/10. These are the most important to me and they were great! Good location with shops nearby. The only thing I didn’t realize was that it was in the flight path of airplanes and you can here them in the morning, but ear plugs helped that. Overall a great spot, would recommend!!

Indulge in Rare Riverside Retreat
We stay with Therese about twice a year and have done so for years. It is close to our adult granddaughter's apartment and is a great place for our family to hang out together for meals and movies and other family activities. We love the peaceful surroundings including many big, beautiful old trees and proximity to the river. And though we have been coming for years, we still discover new things. This trip two of the new things in the neighborhood include J&R Mexican Food on McLoughlin, which has very tasty and reasonably priced Mexican food, as well as discovering Stringfield Family Park only a few blocks away on SE Naef Rd. It is also along the Trolley Trail (another good things for fitness walkers to know about in the neighborhood. Stringfield is a lovely place to have a picnic or stroll along a creek whose residents include ducks and nutria, and if you have playground age kids, they will love the fun and creative play structures! We always love staying at Therese's!

Riverfront Sandy Retreat, Fish & Kayak On-Site
Our stay was lovely! So many thoughtful touches, such a lovely space. Would be great for use as a base for winter fun on the mountain or summer by the river. 10/10 no notes!

Waterfall retreat: Peace, spacious, tranquilty
Best experiance ever for an Airbnb!!! 5 stars is not enough. i am already making plans to come back again. The property is beautiful, the inside is perfection, and felt like a retreat the moment we stepped out of the car. we felt spoiled and enjoyed every moment we were there. the only downside was having to leave. the bar is now set so high for anywhere else we go its going to be almost impossible to match this stay. I will be back again soon for sure...

Sculpture Garden, at the Gateway to the Gorge
Amazing Airbnb experience. I loved the sculpture garden and sculptures around the space itself. I felt more invested in the art when I went across the street to view the art gallery. The place was very clean and comfortable. I would recommend!

Upscale Lakefront ADU w/ Access to Pickleball Ct.
Another perfect stay at what has quickly become my home-away-from-home when visiting Vancouver for work. I absolutely love staying here and hate to leave - you know, except for missing my family of course!

Great Fishing House on Wilson River
Was lucky to snag this place so close to the long weekend. Beautiful location right on the river and far enough away from any neighbors and the road that it feels like you are all by yourself. Well stocked kitchen and good water pressure/hot water. We were also successful in catching a couple of trout! Hope to be back soon.

Three water falls, a river and a lodge.
This home was so peaceful and welcoming!. The sound from the waterfalls was just magical! The pictures did not do it justice. The kitchen was stocked with great cookware and sharp knives. Hard to find that at most bnb’s. Every one of us said multiple times that this was the best place we have ever stayed. We will definitely be back. Thank you for being a great host, Foster!

Spacious Forest Retreat w/ Hot Tub & Views
Second time staying here and loved it. Great place, comfortable bed and couches. Perfect little kitchen for quick meals. Extremely toddler friendly!!

Incredible River House in the Columbia River Gorge
Truly a little slice of paradise! Our family and pups enjoyed every second of our stay. We spent the day by the river, cooked meals in the fully equipped kitchen, relaxed in the hot tub, and enjoyed the property and views. Cute town and friendly hosts! Highly recommend!

The River House
I cannot say enough good things about this place. It is stunning. The views are beyond excellent. Wonderful amenities. My husband and I loved it. My kids absolutely loved it. Wonderful hosts.

Waterview Oasis Cottage in Park-Like Neighborhood
We enjoyed our stay and spent most days on the back porch overlooking the pond, sitting on the grass under the tree and walking through the safe neighborhood on the pathways (our busy 3 year old boy had a blast). Older house but clean and equipped with everything we needed. If the place was available we would have extended our stay (we booked their other house in the same neighborhood though.) Thank you Son and Jessica!

2 Acre, Pond View Home, with Hot-tub & BBQ FOR 16
This was the perfect location for our stay during our son’s wedding weekend at Horning’s Hideout. We hosted a family brunch and the house was the perfect setting with everything we needed and more. Our guests loved the setting and felt right at home. We are grateful for our time at the house in North Plains and would not hesitate to visit again.

A River (stream) Runs Through It
the place is very cute and accommodating. The best part was watching the Nutria and Beavers!!! it was so cool to watch from the back porch!

Riverfront townhome
Great location for walking on the waterfront and playing in the river. Brenda was wonderful with communication and was able to get a high chair and pack n play for our little one during our stay. Very comfortable beds and living space.

One bedroom condo on the Willamette River Path!
I had great help from the hosts when I had trouble finding the building in the dark. Emily responded quickly to any questions. Overall this is a splendid apartment that sits close to a major park and bike path. Bus stops nearby provide excellent transportation to and from downtown.

Luxury Penthouse | City, Mountain & River Views
Phenomenal place to stay!! Easy access to downtown Portland and the highways, several good restaurants/bars within walking distance too. Willamette park being right across the street was great too, wish we could’ve stayed here longer! Will definitely be staying here the next time we’re in Portland, highly recommend to anyone.

Peaceful 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!

*10% Off* Cozy & Rare Riverfront Home with HotTub
Great home and a great place to kick back and wind down. Loved it so much I’ll be renting it again when I get back from work mid June! Thank you both Nico and Sarah!!
