Cozy treehouse apartment in the West Hills

House in the Forest

We stayed here from July to Aug while awaiting relocation for my husband's job. Everything is taken care of in this quiet retreat. There is a feeling of coziness where woods meets modern convenience. The kitchen is supplied with necessities to take meals to the dining area to watch tv or out on the balcony overlooking the west hills of Portland. Birding out in the morning was a delight as well as watching the sky fade to night. A hidden hideaway in a coveted part of town. Excited to add to my list of Portland stays.

Comfortable, cozy and convenient

We stayed here for six weeks Oct-Nov 2025 while house hunting. It was comfortably warm and all the services worked well. It felt like staying in the house of a relative remembered from childhood. The kitchen is modern and works well. The furniture is well lived in but works. There is closet and drawer space. The sitting/dining room is delightful. It opens onto a deck high in the trees on a steep slope facing south. The myriad autumn leaf colours fell in a gentle snowstorm of hues until you could see through the wintry branches to a view across the valley to the countryside beyond. The squirrels bounce about their business, eagerly investigating the fallen sycamore leaves for the seeds. Crows discuss the world every morning and watch the squirrels in the afternoon and exchange comments. The street is quiet, narrow and has very few places to park. The neighbours are pleasant and helpful. The owner and their manager were always quick to respond to texts with help and advice.
