PLEASE NOTE :

✹We love families! We accommodate all of our guests, and each counts towards the total.
✹It looks as though VRBO has changed the way they word their fees. The cleaning fee is now being called a "host fee" The other fees belong to VRBO and lodging taxes go to the city. However, we do not have sales tax here. So, you can plan on buying "all the things."
✹ Nightly prices are set by a third party program. Each guest over the base rate of 5, including infants, is an additional $25/each night of the reservation.
✹While VRBO strongly recommends you use the platform for all communication, due to the size of the house and the multiple parties who stay here altogether, I use a rental agreement and welcome letter via email to make it easier for the person who books to disseminate information about the house, including how to get in.
This puts all of my guests on an equal footing, and they love it for its ease. You can see that reflected in the reviews.
We are not side -stepping VRBO for your booking, as it is already made/paid through this portal.

We have Ring video doorbells out front for security purposes.
We are looking forward to hosting you. Thanks for choosing The Ginkgo House.

Great family gathering home.
We joined our family of 6 people in Portland for a memorial service for our beloved grandmother. The house was big enough to host a pre-ceremony brunch for 15. Plenty of dishes etc. Great location for everything we did including trips to the airport.

Perfect place to explore Portland
The house is in a perfect location 15 mins from the airport, Portland downtown, and close to many shops, restaurants, etc. Plenty of street parking available as well. The house itself has lots of thoughtful touches for travelers (luggage racks, shaving mirrors, etc.) and the neighborhood is very charming. Would love to stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Belladonna

Host profile image
I’ve lived in, and loved, Portland since 1995. My children and I love exploring greater Portland and especially our own front yard: the creativity and vibrance of Alberta Street – the restaurants and food trucks, galleries and shops, gricery store, pharmacy, coffee shops, and YOGA! and more just around the corners.

Of course, we love sharing Alberta Streets with other families, too. And, we hope, with you!

Why they chose this property

Northeast Portland and, specifically, the Alberta Arts District offers the best of the The City of Roses: so many incredible eateries (restaurants, food trucks, street carts, cafés, breweries, and more!), shops, museums and other creative outlets, just minutes from our front door.

You can walk to the grocery store. We have access to several public transportation routes and highways to downtown, the coast, and to the Gorge, Wine Country, Hood River, and Multnomah Falls. And Alberta Street is also close to downtown, very convenient to the airport, Moda Center, and the Oregon Convention Center (all under 15 minutes drive).

What makes this property unique

This is one of the very few large permitted homes in Portland – and one of the largest in the Alberta Arts District. It’s about more than our number of bedrooms, though: the Ginkgo House is a newer building in a lovely residential neighborhood. And it has the amenities you need. Over the years, we’ve learned from our guests and gone beyond the basics to add bells and whistles – everything from hip furnishings and washer/dryer, right down to complimentary toiletries and a fully equipped kitchen.
