Jewel in the Sky: Modern, Private, Luxurious Loft + EV Charger!

*We offer a 15% weekly stay discount and 20% monthly stay discount.
*Photos of all businesses in this listing are < 1.0 mile away.
*All Races, Gender Identities, Sexual Orientations, Religions Welcome.

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 40” 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!

Fantastic
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!

Pleasant Place, Great Location!
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.

Just right
Angela's Jewel in the Sky is nestled in a quiet neighborhood lush with amazing yard landscaping and gardens. The space was very clean, very modern and very comfortable. It also affords a good deal of privacy as it is not connected to the house. Our stay was only 3 nights but we could have easily stayed a month, for us this little jewel was just right.

Better than advertised!
We selected this property based on other’s reviews, as many do. What stood out to us was the hosts attention to detail and we were not disappointed! Angela goes above and beyond to provide her guests with a fully stocked, relaxing, rejuvenating experience in their home away from home. No detail, big or small, was overlooked. And, when we thought we may have found the one thing not provided for us (a scale to make sure our overstuffed luggage was fit to fly) one was waiting for us at our door the same day. We found the stay to be better than advertised. It’s not only modern, but also homey and comfortable. We’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

Exactly what we expected!
My Fiancé and I enjoyed our stay. The unit was very clean and was stocked with everything we needed. We even cooked a meal for ourselves one evening with ease. Bed was very comfortable, Bathroom was a nice size equipped with everything a hotel would have. Great use of a small space. The host was very welcoming and let us know when we met her on the sidewalk to just ask for anything we may need. We ended up not needing a thing that wasn't already provided. We would stay again on our next trip to visit our family.

Family Holiday Visit
If i could rate this property with a 10 star rating, I would. From the excellent communications with Angela and the fact that the studio, and its amenities exceeded our expectations, we couldn't have been happier staying anywhere else. The studio was well appointed and updated. The instructions for "how to" were easy to follow. The neighborhood is very quiet and accessible to all that Portland has to offer. Thanks Angela for being such a top-notch host. I know we would definitively put in a request to stay there again when we are visiting family in the Portland area.

Home away from home
I can’t say enough great things about our stay! Angela was communicative throughout our stay and checked in regarding anything we may have needed to make our stay more comfortable! As someone that often forgets a necessity when packing for a trip- I really appreciated all the thoughtful extras around the Loft (ex. Soaps/makeup wipes/local coffee). I also NEED to comment on how comfortable the bed was- I have never experienced such restful sleep while traveling! Would definitely recommend to anyone traveling to Portland!

Exceptional Studio Rental
My adult son and I stayed 3 nights at this lovely studio while in town for a family wedding. The location was perfect for our needs. The host was out of town during our stay but she was in touch the whole time and all our needs and more were met from instructions to kitchen and bathroom essentials. The unit was incredibly decorated and clean, the bed and the pull out couch were both amazing and we slept great! We loved everything about our stay. The weather was very hot or we would have enjoyed the charming garden that was adjacent to us. This was my first time arranging a rental so I was unsure about what the owner expectations were for us even with the handy list of closing requirements so I truly hope we left the place to their standards. I would stay there again and recommend the rental 100%

The owners took a great deal of care in setting up this VRBO. She literally thought of everything. You’re welcomed with snacks and a beautifully decorated space. The space seems huge and is extremely clean. It’s in a great neighborhood and you get to enjoy the owners beautiful yard and chickens! Everything is labeled and provided for you, instructions are super clear, and she even has a binder with walking distances to some of the best spots in the area. I cannot give this place enough praise, and I would highly recommend it to anyone coming to Portland!

Perfect stay! Absolutely everything one could think of or ask for at a rental property was included! Super crazy clean. Everything seemed new. Fresh fruit and a whole bag of coffee! liquid creamers! First aid kit! We did not cook so cannot speak to that but it seemed as if there was everything there- even bags and wraps etc. Great A/C. The host was beyond helpful even when we had some unusual needs/requests. The yard and the chickens ( no noise from them) it all was just quaint and beautiful. Blackout shades made the place super dark. Extremely responsive host. Will stay agin if I'm in the area.
