Staying at the Cedar House is the perfect way to experience Portland. If you’re looking for the best bars, restaurants and breweries, quick downtown access (10-15 minutes by bike), walkable streets in quiet neighborhood, then this is your spot! Cedar House is located on a beautiful tree lined block with colorful 1900’s bungalow and craftsman style homes iconic to Portland. The house is a newer build, designed thoughtfully by the owner’s, Andrew and Dharma, with the help of some local architects and contractors. The space has all the modern amenities you could need to feel at home and cozy — from heaters in every room (including the bathroom) to a full on gas range stove (not a dinky electric griddle). The hosts, Andrew and Dharma, are the some of sweetest people you’ll ever meet. Dharma provided us with so many delicious herbs from her garden for cooking. Andrew gave me a lot of great advice about buying a home in Portland and he knows a lot about trees. We stayed for a month, but I wish it would have been longer.
