“Best property I’ve ever been to.”

“The location is unbelievable — like a mountain retreat in town!”
— Recent guest on other platforms

Welcome to The Old Barn, a truly one-of-a-kind retreat just minutes from downtown Portland. Tucked into the woods, this special space feels like a peaceful forest hideaway, yet the very best of the city is only a short drive away. It’s the perfect blendof seclusion, comfort, and convenience. Once you arrive, though, you may not want to leave.

The space

The Old Barn is full of character, creativity, and charm. Its eclectic design, warm atmosphere, and unique setting make it unlike anything else nearby. Surrounded by trees and nature, it offers the feeling of a mountain retreat while being just about 10 minutes from downtown Portland, Nike headquarters, the Rose Garden, the Japanese Garden, the Arboretum, Council Crest, and more.

Wake each morning to birdsong and enjoy the enchanting view from the deck. Keep an eye out for owls, eagles, deer, coyotes, and flying squirrels. It’s a nature lover’s dream. And yes… despite the wild feel of the place, there are still no elephants.

Inside, the comfort continues. The master bed is a luxurious king with a remote that allows you to raise the head or feet, plus a massage feature for extra relaxation. There is also a desk area with a foot massager, making it easy to unwind, work, or simply enjoy a little extra comfort during your stay.

Guest access

Guests have private access to the entire Old Barn, including the beautiful outdoor deck and hot tub, all reserved exclusively for you. The space is designed to feel peaceful and private.

Please note that there is another guest unit located down the hill, approximately 500 feet away, and that area is reserved for those guests only. For everyone’s privacy and out of respect for nearby neighbors, please do not wander beyond the designated area.

Other things to note

For the best hot tub experience, please rinse off before entering. To operate the jets, only use the blue spinning button to turn them on and off. The controls are sensitive and can be accidentally changed if other buttons are pressed.

For safety, please do not use the hot tub alone, avoid alcohol or drugs while using it, and limit hot tub sessions to 15 minutes at a time.

Pets are welcome with a one-time $58 pet fee per pet. For everyone’s safety and comfort, pets must be leashed whenever they are outside the unit.

    The natural beauty was amazing. My favorite moments were in the early morning. I would get up and soak outside in the hot tub. Just looking out at the forest and enjoying the sounds around me. The bed was comfortable and the shower was amazing. I truly enjoyed my quick stay. Will come back again.

    The host was friendly and accommodating. The location is great. There were a few things in the house that could be easily updated or improved that would make it better for guests, mainly the kitchen equipment.

    It's unique. Very nice and quiet and private. The bed is ectremely comfortable. And the hot tub on the deck was really fun. I loved the open barn doors at the entry but especially by the bed.

    Secluded location just miles from Portland. Quirky place with tons of charm and positive energy. Comfortable bed and lovely upper deck with great view. Kitchen could use more counter space and a proper oven if you’re planning to do any cooking but overall we enjoyed it!

    I liked the place. Was a super private place in the woods. Quiet and relaxing. Inside stairs were super steep but it was fine. Just don't get super drunk or high before you climb them and use the outside stairs if you feel it's safer. Had a wonderful time while on vacation in the Portland area

    it was a great little spot. The property management had good communication and even the best check in a little early. It was mostly private. And it was a nice little birthday getaway. thank you

    Yes the review about noises in the wall upstairs is true, but didn't bother us.. we had a good time.. my only suggestion would be a tension rod and curtain or blinds in the big open bathroom window to help make the girls more comfortable.

    We arrived Tuesday night of Thanksgiving week and our initial impression was positive in that the place was quiet, the interior was clean and the bed was comfortable. Wednesday morning I got a good look at the exterior and the back patio area shelving that is filled bottom to top with garbage, rusty old tools, single shoes, spilled cigarette ashcans, etc. Honestly we'd shrug this off and consider it part of the funky vibe, but with the addition of squirrels, opossum, or raccoons living in the ceiling it feels pertinent. More on that...we were kept up every night by loud scurrying and scratching in the ceiling and wall directly above our heads. The bedroom is in the attic space so the ceiling is directly above your head. This was disturbing to say the least. We tried to deal with it, but it proved to impact our sleep and my wife was, more than a little, freaked out. We tried to sleep downstairs on the air mattress that is mentioned in the listing and found that there were no sheets or blankets that fit it. There were some twin sheets that were literally balled up in a corner of a closet.We called Peter, the manager, after we got home to let him know the issues. He apologized and let us know that he was aware of the animal problem and basically told us there was nothing he could do about it. I can deal with quirky and even recognize the randomness of animal infestations. I can't accept being rented a property with a known issue that has such a big impact.

    It was a beautiful setting in the woods, but sadly the pillow smelled like urine and there were mice running in the wall right behind our heads in bed and kept me up. Yuck.

    Enjoyed our first stay at the Old Barn and knew it would be perfect for a quiet romantic getaway. It didn’t disappoint! Soaking in the hot tub in a cool gentle rain then warming up in the luxurious shower and cuddling up in the huge comfortable bed were exactly what we needed. And I loved the chance to serenade my husband on the baby grand! We’re already looking forward to our next stay!

    My husband and I enjoyed a fabulous romantic birthday weekend at the “Old Barn” and we definitely plan to return! We were delighted with the globally eclectic decor, super comfortable bed, private setting, deck and hot tub and incredibly large shower… everything we needed for a romantic weekend. Plus a baby grand piano! So I was able to serenade him with love songs. Thanks for creating such a lovely space and making our stay easy and comfortable.

    We enjoyed our stay at the Old Barn! We had close access to everything, and it was nice to come home to a quite and relaxing place. I'm giving only a 4 star rating because it's lacking bathroom facility on second floor with the master bedroom.
