Featured in the Modern Homes Tour, the Skyline Skylab House in Forest Park is a one-of-a-kind Portland Airbnb.

This Airbnb in Southeast Portland is where you’ll find true serenity on an acre of hillside gardens. Sounds peaceful, right? We’re just getting started. Moss Rock Retreat is a tiny home tucked just behind the Leach Botanical Garden in the heart of the forest. The kitchen comes fully equipped with a gas stove, refrigerator, and country sink, while the bathroom is small but super functional.

Head a little past downtown and you’ll come across this idiosyncratic Airbnb in Portland. There’s nothing quite like a 48ft-tall treehouse in the middle of the forest to spark your interest, right?! The exterior of the Saul Zaik Treehouse is reminiscent of a futuristic spaceship while the interior is nothing short of spectacular. There are panoramic views over Portland from every floor-to-ceiling window and the national park it’s surrounded by makes for stunning morning walks by the river and evening strolls through the forest – if you’re up for the challenge. Oh, and the resident cat Bukowski will be there to welcome you to his humble abode. 

Follow the Japanese cedar bridge walkway to the entrance of this large artist’s cabin in the heart of the Multnomah Village forest. This contemporary Airbnb in Southwest Portland is perfect if you’re looking to get back in touch with nature while enjoying peaceful splendor. The interiors are clean and rustic, with chopped wood stored in an alcove ready for an evening fire and neutrally toned decor throughout the space. A special mention goes to the stunning master bedroom where a cozy library accessed only by a matte-black stairway is ideal for an afternoon read.

If you’ve got the time – and the budget – a visit to Lake Oswego is a must. While there are many Airbnbs in the area, Green Gables stands out. It’s an ideal property for a family holiday, and you’ll all feel right at home from the second you walk in. There are three bedrooms plus a games room fitted with a futon for an extra sleepy head or two, and two bathrooms (one is an ensuite with the master bedroom). The outdoor space is adorned with rows of string lights, a variety of outdoor seating arrangements, a large hot tub, and a fire pit for roasting s’mores as night falls. Hot cocoa, anyone?
