Family-friendly holiday rentals in Mount Scott - Arleta, Portland

Absolutely beautiful location and friendly & kind hosts! We had everything we needed & more. We truly felt like we were staying with family! The space was perfect for our family of four, and the hot tub was a great bonus after a day of hiking & sightseeing in the area. The location was serene and quiet and perfectly located for the activities we had planned.

Gem of SE is right. Walkable to coffee shops and all of Hawthorne without being in the hussle. Air conditioning during a Portland summer, oh ya, theve got it! Very peaceful backyard. Felt secluded in the hot tub. This place is great! The shower is missing a door but other than that, everything was amazing.

An absolute gem of a place to stay. Do not hesitate to book. Beautifully designed. Wonderful wolf gas rage in a state full of electric stoves. A wonderful place to stay with friends, we didn’t want to leave. We will be back. Bigger than I expected from the photos. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Melissa was friendly and a wonderful host! The place was just as described. It was in a great area with many things to do within walking distance. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you!!!

It is very peaceful and beautiful. The hot tub on the deck adds a feeling of luxury. The internal stairs are quite narrow but manageable (we went up and down these all the time), and if you are not limber you should take the external stairs that are nice and wide. VERY comfortable bed. Overall highly recommend and will likely come back

We had a truly wonderful stay! The space was incredibly clean, peaceful, and beautifully decorated—with thoughtful touches throughout that made it feel extra special. It was private and quiet, yet perfectly located for exploring the Portland area. Parking was easy, and the neighborhood felt safe and welcoming. The hosts were extremely kind and communicative—we felt well taken care of from start to finish. We were very impressed and would absolutely stay here again!

We were in Portland for our son’s graduation and Arlene’s place was one of the best we’ve stayed at. The garden was peaceful and magical, the home spotless and well-equipped. Arlene was super responsive and even helped with our laundry. Highly recommend!

Adorable little adu. Beautifully designed and impeccably clean. I had a lovely stay. And it was so fun to see the chickens!

Pat and Heather were very helpful and friendly. The cabin was peaceful, clean, and quiet. It was perfect for a little weekend retreat. Loved hearing the birds and the chickens on the property. I brought my dog with me and Pat was very accommodating since my dog is reactive to dogs he doesn't know. I highly recommend!

A repeat visitor and it was the peaceful respite I look forward to when visiting Portland. Proximity to the city with a quiet and dream of a location for tranquility. Thank you Shaun for the warm welcome.

My friend and I had such a lovely stay! The loft has beautiful large windows letting lots of light in as well as curtain that could block the light to keep the place cool. Both the bed and the futon were quite comfortable with nice quality linens. The place was quiet, peaceful and clean and both of us felt right at home. We ran into the host (and their adorable pups) coming out of the loft. They were kind and asked if we needed anything. Such gracious friendly people! Overall it was a great stay! Will be booking again in the future! Thank you so much!

We really enjoyed the privacy. The porch outside was really nice to hangout on. We bbq'd. Had room to prep inside. We had our kiddo (our dog) and she was also really happy to be there. We didn't notice the tenants in the house. Wouldn't have mattered. They were very respectful sharing the space. There was a privacy fence between us. We found everything we needed.

This was my second stay with Andrea and it didn’t disappoint. Cozy and calm retreat within walking distance of all the Mississippi fun. Loved having morning coffee with my dog on the outdoor patio space. This is earmarked on my Portland list for my future trips.

This was a wonderful spot to stay. The place was very clean and no weird smells (has been a trend lately with Airbnbs for my partner and I). I think it had a wonderful ambience and the neighborhood is one of my favorites in Portland, it was nice to be able to walk around and enjoy it. Easy drive to areas like Sellwood and Woodstock too. I very much recommend this Airbnb.

I’ve stayed at several airbnbs over the years and this was my favorite! We wanted for nothing. It’s a great, tucked-away location within walking distance of amazing coffee and restaurants. I’d recommend to anyone interested in visiting Portland!

This is our 5th time staying at Susannah's! We always look forward to coming 'home' when we get to Portland.

The Avion was delightful! It felt so homey and relaxing. I loved all the extra touches you provide- like the caravan coffee (with instructions), your wine glasses and complimentary ear plugs. Along with having each trailer themed from the rugs, pillows, couch, and blankets. It just made it feel special and personal. I look forward to coming back in the summer to fire up the grill and take advantage of the bikes and pool!

Our magical vintage trailer getaway was pure cozy bliss! Tucked away in a charming little spot, the rain only made the weekend feel more enchanting. With our pups snuggled beside us, we spent the days playing board games, sipping warm drinks, and listening to the soothing patter of raindrops on the roof. The trailer’s retro charm added to the whimsy, making it feel like we had stepped into a dreamy little hideaway. It was the perfect mix of nostalgia, relaxation, and fun—proof that sometimes, the best adventures happen indoors.

The trailers were fantastic! Some friends and I stayed as a last minute weekend get away and we could not have asked for a better time. I can't wait to come back. Wineries are close by, and the scenery is beautiful. Highly recommend!

Very clean and well kept space! Would definitely stay again, we loved it. Bridget was very kind and responsive as well!

Very clean. Very cool. Peaceful and campy.

This is the second time we've stayed at Shelley's place and it was just as good the second time around. While there are a lot of posted rules and guidelines around the house, they have obviously helped keep her home immaculate for guests. She communicates incredibly well and is more than accommodating to any special needs or requests. She invited my group to come up a night early due to her previous renters checking out early and offered us a check-out at any time of the day, not rushing us out at all. The pool and view are unmatched and I highly recommend this location to others. If we're in need of a rental in Sherwood again, Shelley's place will be our first choice.

Julie was a generous host. It was a peaceful place for my family to stay and easy for our local family to come for meals and visit. Every morning we had coffee on the large private deck. We sat on the deck some evenings and enjoyed the fresh air and complete lack of mosquitoes. The two full bathrooms for the five of us were essential. We booked this house to have a great place to stay-in and have local family over but it was also close to many things in Portland. The zoo and the science museum were two of them. Julie was responsive to requests and just a very kind person.

Wow, what a great experience! We weren't exactly sure what to expect going in, but couldn't have been happier with how it turned out. So cozy and comfortable, you will not miss out on any of the comforts of home when staying in an Airstream Bambi. Enjoy your outdoor seating area, take the bikes for a few laps around the park, this place has it all! Large fridge inside, comfortable bed, shower and bathroom is plenty big and works just fine, awesome surround sound system, and the air conditioning is powerful enough to keep you cool in 100 degree weather, which it was! You can walk across the footbridge into Dayton for dinner, and this is the perfect location for exploring the wine region. A very memorable weekend. Will never think of trailer living the same.
