Our family welcomes you to a slice of our Portland life. We live in a quiet residential neighborhood where the sounds you are most likely to encounter are the distant squawks of our backyard chickens, the pitter-patter of raindrops on the skylight, or the occasional children's squeal or dog bark.
Jewel in the Sky in Portland, OR is a converted loft above our garage using all new construction and furnishings to give you a truly luxurious and modern get-away experience. The interior style will make you feel refreshed, energized and comfortable. The 340 sq. ft. space resembles a studio apartment that offers an open floor plan with a vaulted ceiling. You have your choice of flooding light or blackout darkness with our flexible window options/features. The central skylight offers a partial view of mature Douglas Fir and Western Red Cedar trees off to the west. To the east, you have views of the top of our nearby extinct volcano, Mt. Tabor (which also happens to offer numerous hiking paths and a gorgeous view of downtown Portland and the sunset).
While we know many people will be out adventuring for much of your stays, we wanted a cozy place people could use as a respite from a busy day of adventuring (or to enjoy for an extended-length stay). We have tried to incorporate as many of the little amenities we could think of (and fit in) so that our guests are not wanting for anything.
IMAGINE YOUR STAY Ease into your first morning with complimentary Stumptown coffee, Starbucks Hot Chocolate, Stash tea, bubbly water, fresh fruit, oatmeal, yogurt (and usually some other surprises).
Then, get a fresh start to your day in the private full bathroom that boasts a tiled shower/tub, a bidet washlette, complimentary toiletries, hair dryer, curling iron and more.
If "chef'-ing is on the agenda, the full kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator/freezer, stovetop range, microwave, dishwasher, coffeemaker, toaster, and state of the art Multi-Pure water filtration system. A tasteful selection of dishes and cookware will make your experience fun and inspiring. Of course, if you're in the mood for a fancy dinner out, a food cart specialty or anything in-between, you'll have plenty of mouthwatering options to choose from in this gastronomic hub of Portland.
Alternatively, you can also order takeout, sink into the couch and catch up on your favorite shows or movies at home with our 40â flat screen Smart TV on wheels (watch from anywhere in the unit). We offer Satellite DIRECTV with 150+ channels plus apps (like Netflix, Hulu) to stream your favorite shows (using your personal subscriptions).
Finally, unwind at the end of your day in the plush queen bed topped with a memory foam mattress. It is so comfy you will curl your toes in delight and feel the bed give you a big, warm hug! Turn on the sound spa machine for a variety of nature sounds to put your mind at ease. The queen bed is constructed with headboard shelves to easily contain personal items including electronic devices, C-Pap machines, reading materials or that soothing evening glass of wine. Adjustable and dimmable bedside lighting allows late-night reading without bothering your partner. Ceiling height wardrobe cabinets can store your clothes and shoes in an organized fashion. While our space is most comfortable for two people, we can accommodate up to four people utilizing the queen-sized sleeper sofa as needed.
If you must break the fun and do some laundry, we offer an ALL-IN-ONE washer/dryer machine. This is a common space-saving machine used in Europe, in which one machine does both the washing and drying. This means one load can take hours to complete (ideal for starting a load before you head out for the day and coming back to a finished load of laundry, but not ideal if you will have many loads of laundry to clean). We have a nearby laundromat for bulk laundry, if you have that need.
Enjoy the ease and comfort that consistently earns our property 5 star reviews, usually praising the extreme cleanliness, unique amenities and high-touch hosting. Guests appreciate our thoughtful labels and comprehensive printed guidebook, making it easy to navigate and enjoy the amenities we provide. Guests also love the free high-speed Wi-Fi, heat & A/C, adjustable ceiling fan, dimmable lights, indoor air-purifying plants and a quiet air-exchange filtering system.
We live on-site and are always eager to assist you with any needs or recommendations. Whether you're here for a birth, birthday, graduation, wedding or other fun event, we strive to make your stay an excellent one, so book with us today!
GUEST ACCESS You will access the garage loft by walking up our driveway toward the garage and entering through a side door of the garage. A keyless touch-screen deadbolt allows for easy access and security (a personal code will be assigned to you based on the last four digits of the phone number on the reservation). You will then ascend one flight of indoor stairs to reach the loft.

Very nice property in a quiet neighborhood close to many shops and eateries Angela, the host, is very thoughtful in equipping the vacation rental with everything needed for a convenient and comfortable stay. I often sleep poorly on travel but not here.Angela is also very responsive.I recommend this VRBO and would seek to stay here again when traveling through Portland.
The photos of Jewel in the Sky truly don't do it justice! The stay was everything, & more. I don't believe we've ever stayed somewhere so immaculate. I'm unsure how Angela does it, but everything presents as if it is brand new. Every drawer, every nook, every corner, EVERYTHING is spotless. Her amenities are endless, incredible & rare, from the water & air filtration systems, to the sound machine & flawlessly stocked kitchen. I could go on & on forever. It's very obvious she put her heart & soul into planning & staging the best stay for her guests. Her decor is beautiful & welcoming, making for a perfect match to her personality. The night we checked in, we had the pleasure of meeting her & talking with her for a bit & then she offered to help carry some of our luggage back with us! Who does that?! Her communication was impeccable. As first time Portland visitors, we had a million questions & her suggestions for everything were spot on, making for an overall outstanding experience. Angela is the epitome of what it means to be a super host & Jewel in the Sky's location allowed us to explore the cutest neighborhood with the best food & shops! We are so appreciative.
The property and host were fantastic. I was able to eat well, while I had an extended stay in the city without having to eat out all the time. It was perfect and the host had everything I could possibly need!!! This will definitely be the first place I look for any additional stays. I have in the city.
It is a wonderful VRBO. The communication is great, the apartment is bright and cheerful. The kitchen is well stocked with anything you need to make a nice meal. The shades are remote controlled so you can easily close them to feel cozy at night time. Felt very safe. I'm sure if there's anything you'd need besides all that is provided, Angela would make it happen. We feel fortunate to have had our stay in Portland at Jewel in the Sky and if we have the opportunity, we will return there. Great walking nieghborhood, too. 5 stars!
Jewel in the Sky is a lovely loft space located over a garage (so one flight of stairs involved if that's an issue for you) in a quiet residential section in the Hawthorne neighborhood, filled with cute Craftsman's and bungalows. It is between Hawthorne and Division streets, both of which have many restaurants (we tried several, which were all very good to excellent), bars, bakeries, shops, etc. It's a very walkable neighborhood -- just a short jaunt to Mt. Tabor Park -- and centrally located for getting around in Portland.
The unit has a very well equipped kitchen and was stocked with nice amenities like coffee, tea, some snacks, filtered water, and such. The same can be said of the bathroom. It was a quiet space and we never noticed any noise from the street or the neighborhood. Parking is on the street, but we never had a problem finding a spot more than a few yards from the address.
The owners clearly take pride in their place and are very accommodating. We would certainly stay here again when in Portland.
The property is very very nice. It has all the basics you could possibly need for your stay there. Everything is labeled so finding what you need is quick and easy. The hosts are very friendly and communicative. The location is also perfect for exploring the Hawthorne area with so many amenities nearby. It is very worth it and I highly recommend!
This was the perfect spot for a quick little girls trip to Portland. Host is very communicative and helpful if you need anything at all. Lots of things to do within close proximity.
