Sunny Stanhope Cottage is a sunny, spacious 120 year old Dutch Colonial Duplex in the beautiful, peaceful, historic Portland Heights neighborhood overlooking downtown Portland.

We are located in a quiet historic neighborhood, surrounded by nature, with plenty of space to go on walks and bike riding but close to downtown and restaurants. Bunnies, squirrels, chipmunks and deer can be spotted as well as many song birds. With our two outdoor decks and large kitchen and living room it isa perfect place to relax with your family.

The duplex is only 5 minutes (just over a mile) to the shops, restaurants and cafes of the Alphabet District (NW 23rd), downtown and Pearl. Close to OHSU and PSU. The 1400 square foot lower duplex is available year round for stays up to 5 weeks and features an open floor plan, two decks with site views up to Council Crest, southern exposure for sun all day long, two bedrooms with queen beds, a fold down couch bed for one more person in the living room, a beautiful dinning room for 8 people, a fully equipped kitchen (perfect for home cooked meals) and a very large living room. Great for family gatherings for holidays, showers, weddings, graduation, etc.

Please note that the bedrooms are organized in a tandem layout with a hall to the bathroom between them. So our place is better for single couples, families and groups of friends than for two unrelated couples who may want privacy during sleep hours. Per city regulation our max occupancy is 5 overnight.

The immediate neighborhood offers excellent walking, jogging and biking along tree lined streets filled with beautiful old Portland homes. Council Crest (Portland's highest point) and Washington Park Rose Garden are 20 minutes by foot. The Vista Spring Cafe is a 5 minute walk away and close to the bus stop for line 51.

The duplex also features a 7 foot Mason Hamlin Piano which is available to serious pianists with advance notice. A guitar is available to all. Keith and Rocio are your hosts. We live in the upper duplex. We are quiet and work full time but friendly and helpful if you need us. House is equipped with a stereo and smart tv with basic cable only (bring your books or tablet for streaming) and it has central heat and air conditioning via our new heat pump. Summers in Oregon tend to not be very hot with low humidity. We also provide both fans and space heaters in addition to the heat pump.

    Beautiful quiet location. Great deck for morning coffee. Lots of natural lighting. Whatever you need in a kitchen you’ll find there. Owner had many helpful recommendations for dining spots, places to see, and walks and hikes to take. Many brochures and maps to help with planning. Lots of unique pieces and artwork in the unit. No shortage of books to read/look through.

    The property was furnished comfortably and with much charm. It was homey and better than home in some ways, it felt like a retreat. The neighbourhood was fantastic, good walks to see homes with character, unique gardens and great views of the mountains. The host was personable and warm, making sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. As music lovers, our two sons were offered the privilege of playing the precious piano placed in the unit. Altogether it was a wonderful stay to remember. Thank you Keith and Rocio.

    Keith was responsive on the TV-it was unplugged haha. The house was very clean. I was able to check in a little early. And from the rain we had to wash our hoodies and and Keith worked that out for us. Overall recommend the property. Keith was a great host. Ohhh and parking was easy!

    The stay was very frustrating for my daughter. The owner failed to tell her about a PLANNED power outage, scheduled for the first day of her stay, until the night she checked in at 8:00 p.m. This was completely unacceptable. If she were told of this when the owner was notified by Portland Gas and Electric (most likely a couple of weeks prior to her arrival), she would have canceled the reservation and found another place to stay.There is a basic expectation by renters to have essential utilities available, such as power, internet if advertised in VRBO, water, etc. Going to a coffee shop to work was not an option due to the unsecure internet there.This caused tremendous issues for her as she could not work remotely that first day as planned. This resulted in work delays and her getting docked hours, thus a loss of pay. Honestly, we are furious about it.We feel VRBO should contact the owner and demand one day of rent be refunded.

    We stayed for a week with our family of 4 and the most useful things to know would have been that the bedroom layout is not traditional, bedroom curtains do not provide darkness, and laundry is coordinated through the owner (not truly full access to a washer/dryer). One bedroom is off a hallway but the other is perhaps a former office/study and in order to access the hallway with bathroom traditional bedroom you need to pass through the 2nd bedroom. It's a very sweet house in a good location and the owners are very nice.

    Wonderful location- in a quiet neighborhood with direct access to downtown (once you navigate windy roads and great views). Cotta coffee is just a few blocks over - a coffee shop run out of a house’s garage!Keith is a wonderful host and has appointed the apartment with the greatest assortment of art. The deck off the living room is a great spot. The bedrooms require a group that is friendly with one another - access from the back bedroom to the kitchen and front room is through the second bedroom - but it worked well for our group of collegiate runners in town for the Portland Track Festival.I’ll be ba k here again next time I’m in Portland - with or without a group of runners!

    Close to the hospital. House is spacious and equipped with a full kitchen. Parking is a bit of an issue. If you get there before the homeowner you have to move your vehicle so they can plug there car in. There are steps to get up to the house or a steep walkway coming down from the street above so probably not good for people that have mobility issues

    We felt very lucky to find this property in an area close to the apartment of the family member we were visiting and in such a nice area. The host was very accommodating and responsive and the property was as described or even better! The kitchen and dining room were fully outfitted and spacious so that we were able to host a small gathering of family and friends for brunch instead of having to go to a restaurant which would have been difficult for one of the attendees.

    This July we spent 4 days as guests of Keith and Rocio in Portland. The location of the apartment, its facilities and the hospitality and attentiveness of Keith and Rocio were just great. Almost like an oasis, we were able to relax in the apartment with its wonderful terrace away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Portland. There is even a great Italian restaurant within walking distance and within a few minutes by car you can be downtown or in Washington Park (the beautiful recreational area in the hills above Portland). We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back if the opportunity arises!

    The place was perfect for me and my two sisters. Very comfortable and safe. However it was difficult to find with the twisting roads and closeness of the homes. Also, the roads were very narrow and steep making it difficult navigating the area.
