Cozy craftsmen, at the Gateway to the Gorge
this is a beautiful place to stay at. the grounds are well kept and beautiful art pieces inside and out. I loved it

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!

Upscale Lakefront ADU w/ Access to Pickleball Ct.
It’s a lovely home with an awesome view of the lake. It’s very clean and peaceful, and we felt right at home. Downtown Vancouver is just a short drive away. Host Laurie and her husband Van are very nice and friendly. We’d definitely stay at Laurie’s place again.

Luxury Waterfront Townhouse
Beautiful townhouse with all the amenities you need. Great location to the Vancouver waterfront. Love that you can park a car in the garage. Gorgeous kitchen, comfy beds, we felt right at home!

Santiam Valley Farm Retreat
It’s been one of our best time this year so far (and we travel a lot). Felt right at home. My fiancé did not want to leave and cried when we did, that’s how heartwarming was Kathy, her family and her farm. The fact that you can interact with the animals, pet them, feed them if you want to and help participate to the farm life makes this place beyond any standard Airbnb we’ve visited. It’s a whole relaxing experience. Also perfect for remote work with one of the fastest WiFi we’ve got on Airbnb for the last 10 years. ✌️

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!

On the Washougal River, One Half Mile From Town
We adored the quiet with sounds from the river, the homey interior with such travel wanderlust, and the responsive host who made sure we could get in after a delayed flight. The scenery and location for the price cannot be beat! Thank you to Donna and Darylynn, we had a wonderful trip and hope to come back for longer next time.

Luxury Home in Heart of Vancouver / Quiet & Cozy
Great location and value! Marcus was a great host and even recommended a wonderful restaurant. The place is nice and clean. Close location to downtown and private. Only noise we heard was a few dogs in the neighborhood! Would definitely recommend to all!

Great Fishing House on Wilson River
This property was just as described. Perfectly situated right on the river. If you like to fish this is the place. It is not however a place for small children. There is not a yard and the steep stairs to the river could be problematic for older guests. There is a nice deck. Two of the bedrooms are upstairs and open to the great room. The stairs to one of the bedrooms is a ship’s ladder. The one bathroom is on the main floor and it is nice. There is another bedroom right across from the bathroom on the main floor. It has bunk beds but the bottom bunk is probably a double. The kitchen is well equipped, but no dishwasher. Joseph gives a lot of instructions around the very steep drive. Please read carefully he is not exaggerating! We have an all wheel drive SUV and had no issues. Joseph is very responsive. I had a perceived issue and he immediately was trying to resolve the problem. He was kind and understanding. This property is in a beautiful setting and very private. Would stay again.

Riverside Living!
This was, by far, the most amazing Airbnb. Super comfortable, beautiful view, amazing amenities. Eric was very responsive and accommodating with our check in and check out. We wish we could rate this 10 stars!!!

Spacious Forest Retreat w/ Hot Tub & Views
This woodsy retreat is one of my favorite airbnbs I’ve ever stayed at. Not only were the views picturesque, but Garrett takes care to make sure all the little details are thought of - from house slippers for guests, to cozy hooded towels for the jacuzzi, to a fully equipped kitchenette. He was very responsive and accommodated an earlier check-in for us. Other highlights were the comfortable firm mattress and a wonderfully eclectic vinyl collection for our perusal. Location was a 10/10 as well, with quiet neighborhood walking paths and a quick drive to downtown. We would definitely book with Garrett again!

Incredible River House in the Columbia River Gorge
This was one of the most beautiful stays we’ve had at an Airbnb. The amenities were thoughtful and showed they truly cared about what guests would need. The kitchen was well stocked, they had everything you’d need for kids and the decor was also so beautiful. We had a peaceful and restful experience.

The River House
We have stayed at the River House multiple times in the past, now the house has been beautifully updated with a new deck, hot tub and furnishings. The home is even more comfortable than before. It was very hard to leave and we look forward to our next visit.

2 Acre, Pond View Home, with Hot-tub & BBQ FOR 16
Stayed here for a bachelorette party. The house was stocked with coffee/creamers and some fridge condiments along with little snacks which was so nice! We had plenty of space and all the furniture was comfortable. Everyone enjoyed the peaceful backyard and hot tub too.

A River (stream) Runs Through It
A very quite and peaceful neighborhood. Away from the city but close to it. The only distraction is the freeway outside the patio but not intrusive. We did see a few beavers too. Everything was in good shape and worked smoothly. You'll enjoy the hot tub at the end of the long tiring journey!!
Waterfront condo rentals

One bedroom condo on the Willamette River Path!
responsive host and thoughtful touches throughout the home. fireplace was great, warm lighting, comfortable bed, washer/dryer were helpful. would definitely stay again.

Luxury Penthouse | City, Mountain & River Views
What I appreciated the most was how accurately Taylor described his home as well as how complete yet easy to digest his instructions were. I also appreciated the swift response to some questions. Really beautiful condo! We're so happy we chose Taylor's place!

Creekside View - Large 2 Bedroom 2 Bath Condo
Our family enjoyed our stay at this lovely condo! The bubbling brook provided a restful atmosphere, especially while enjoying a meal in the dining room or coffee in the balcony. Beddings and linens were plush and smelled clean. Our host was friendly and proactive, reaching out with instructions regarding check in and check out, and kept in touch with us. We also appreciated having a designated off street and covered parking spot. We highly recommend this condo and host. And would love to stay here again the next time we’re in the Salem/ Portland area!

Quiet Townhouse, 3 bed, 2.5 bath, 12 min to PDX
We couldn't have been happier! The townhouse was so comfortable, so clean, so well-appointed and so quiet that we immediately felt right at home. Helen is definitely a Superhost: she made every part of the rental easy and comfortable.
