About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Excellent Location, Close to Parks, Groceries, Single Level Detached Retreat, 15 Minutes to Portland

Rules note: This property is completely non smoking of any kind. It is an adult only rental so please no kiddos for the reasons mentioned above. There are also no pets, no firearms, and no fireworks. Pets of any kind cannot be allowed as this property is an allergy sensitive area. There is room for one vehicle out front so please limit yourself to that. "There is one security camera placed outside which is facing outward and not guest focused. Please ask if you have any questions regarding this."

This rental is intended for Adults. Due to the concrete floors, the owner does not feel it safe to have young children in here who may fall on the floor. There is also a small pathway up to the front door that has a pebbled walkway and step up, so we recommend those who can walk easily unassisted.

This is a bright, modern, one bedroom guesthouse sitting at 753 square feet. It comes with your own complete kitchen, entrance, parking space, and front yard on a quiet street. The guest house is behind the owners main home, which is roughly 30 feet away.

If you are in need of a peaceful retreat within a 15-minute drive to downtown Portland, 10 minutes to the popular Sellwood, Division, or Hawthorne districts of Portland, you have found it. The Woodstock neighborhood is great for biking, a walk to Woodstock Boulevard for stores & eateries, or a stroll in the park. Reed College is about one mile away, as are five different parks, and The Rhododendron Gardens.

The guesthouse sits behind the main house and the owners. They are wonderful caretakers of both properties and you may see them pop by for a quick hello. They will respect all the privacy you need but certainly want all guests to know they are available if anything comes up.

If you are looking for a longer stay, that is possible too. Whether a travelling nurse, a visiting professor, or someone looking to relocate to the area, the Under the Cedars Guesthouse will be quite convenient. It's a perfect fit for those commuting to OHSU, Providence Hospital, Portland State University, and so many more.

Please note that the address in the listing is our main house address, so in directions, you will be given specific directions onto 50th avenue where the guesthouse is located. You have access to the whole guesthouse and its own front yard. We want you to have a good time, but we would ask that you respect us and our neighbors by keeping your noise down; quiet hours are 10 pm to 7 am weeknights, and 11 pm to 8 am weekends. ONLY guests included in your reservation are able to be in or on our property, unless you make special arrangements with us in advance. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions at all.

The Wifi in the guesthouse is fully operational for watching movies, phone calls, and connecting to work websites. Bandwidth may not be adequate for gaming. Hosts are also on the network

The guesthouse is conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood and only a 10-minute walk or 2-minute drive to Woodstock where there are restaurants, shops, and stores to enjoy!

So easy to walk through the park and get to shops and restaurants, including food truck pod. Well stocked. If you're coming in winter, pack some slippers as the floor gets cold (heat works well, but floor is concrete).

Lovely stay
My husband and I were looking for a place to stay when we visited our child from out of state. This property was the perfect spot to come back to and relax after wandering around all day. I had one question before I booked the property, and it was answered immediately. We were able to get into the property easily, and we were thrilled to find it very clean, new and with everything we could possibly need. While we really only were there later in the evening, I loved how quiet and cozy the space was. We will definitely rebook when we come back.

Under the Cedars Cottage
Was a lovely place to rest our heads. The cottage was extremely well appointed and, as I’m an engineer, very well constructed. A few things that would really improve the stay would be a ceiling fan in the bedroom and laundering the bedding and linens in unscented detergents for those of us with sensitivities.

This is our 2nd time staying here… love the location…quiet and clean. I do suggest updating bedding. The pillows really need updating… the comforter & blanket don’t add much warmth. ( seen better days)😉 after a day of hiking or shopping you want to crawl into a cozy bed. The kitchen faucet does need tightening.. (it turns all over the place…)

The location was very quiet and nice. The home was well stocked with books, utensils, bathroom supplies, etc. The binder had tons of ideas for things to do and places to eat in the area. It was the perfect place to have a quiet getaway. The hosts were very attentive and checked in via text to make sure I had everything I needed. Great place, would definitely stay again.

Disappointed
When I arrived, 2 windows were open, the unit was freezing, and it smelled strongly of cleaning agents which remained during my stay. The heat took 2 hours to work but the management responded well about that issue. There were no hand towels and I thought that wasn't provided until I read the guidebook two days into my stay. I called and was brought 2 hand towels, the gray one was in poor condition with bleach stains on it. The bathroom carpet was ripped and posed a trip hazard. I have some photos if the management wants to see them.There is conflicting information about checkout. The sign in the bedroom says 11:00 am but was advertised as 10:00 am checkout. They need to update their information. Each morning, there was a very noisy machine in the neighborhood which woke me up. The outdoor light which comes on automatically did not work so I used my phone's flashlight to open and close the door at night. FInally, it would be nice if the owners provided coffee for the money that I was paying and not just the Maxwell house in the refrigerator that a previous renter left (the owners told me that when I arrived.)
