Stephen has created a lovely, historic spot for you to enjoy the gifts of Portland. The house is vintage Victorian, with an eye to detail, when he was restoring this "painted lady." I live in Portland, but wanted to stay here to celebrate my birthday, specifically because I love Victorian houses. Stephen has recreated my of the historically accurate touches, while adding the extra ingredient of Portland eccentricity. He has an impressive collection of interesting art and light fixtures and lamps. (My personal favorite was the stage coach lamp....) The location is great; close to all the offerings of SE Hawthorne. Stay here. You'll love it!
