Our backyard guest home was built in 2019 and while it is on our property, it is quiet and private and set back from the front house. It is a 450 sf studio with a private patio. We get feedback that it is peaceful and lovely inside and out.
The space
There is room for 1-3 with a comfortable queen bed and an air mattress for kids as needed. We are in SW Portland, centrally located, near 2 bus stops and a 5 minute walk to charming Multnomah Village. You'll have a private patio, high ceilings, a full kitchen and bathroom, TV. My husband is a book collector so there are interesting things to read as well!
Guest access
1 floor, a few outdoor steps leading to front door.
Notes
Washer and dryer is shared with the main house in the garage.

Meganne's home in Portland is very comfortable and has a lovely garden to relax in. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here!
The location is close by to a few restaurants and cafes and a quick drive to almost anywhere in Portland. We also visited Canon Beach on the coast, which was spectacular. Meganne herself was an excellent host and easy to communicate with. Thank you, Meaganne!
Meaganne was a wonderful host! Her guest accommodation was modern, clean and super cute. She is a great communicator and generous spirit. We truly hope she comes up our way sometime. We highly recommend connecting with Meaganne if you are in the Portland area🤗
Meaganne and her family stayed in my home about two weeks in a non-sim exchange. They were terrific guests -- easy to host -- and very considerate of my home. Communication was excellent. They left my place spic and span, with careful attention to how I requested to leave linens, doors, locks, keys, etc. There was even a sweet note for me when I returned home. I'd be happy to have them stay again, and definitely recommend them as guests.
Meaganne and her family were excellent guests leaving our home in pristine condition and they were also very friendly to communicate with. Although they had to leave earlier than planned, we are hoping to host them again the future. They are always welcome to stay in our home.
Awesome person and the ideal house guest. Would be delighted to have Meaganne stay again. Very respectful of my property and just an all round lovely human :-)
My family and I were lucky enough to set up a non-sim exchange with Cam. She was incredible. She went above and beyond for us, with super organized, detailed notes about the house, and activities we could enjoy in San Diego. Her house was wonderfully located and very clean and comfortable. I know she will be moving, but if you get the chance to exchange with her, you'll be fortunate!
Thanks, Meaganne. Hosting your family was a great experience. I appreciate the care taken with my home and I look forward to visiting your place in Portland in the future!
Burcin and Yigit’s home in Edinburgh was lovely. We recently spent one night there out of three for a globe exchange; we had to change our plans due to mold in another home stay. Their house was wonderfully located in a beautiful neighborhood in Edinburgh, with a comfortable walk to most parts of the city or an easy bus ride. We were comfortable in their lovely high-ceiling home, and made excellent use of the outstanding café downstairs! We did not use the kitchen, but it looks like they had everything that a family would need :). Burcin was easy to communicate with and I highly recommend a visit!
Lisa really helped my family and I get out of a pinch when the other home we were staying in had mold. We did a lovely three day globe exchange in one of her apartments in Edinburgh, not this particular listing and it was perfect for our needs. She and her husband were super responsive and took care of us with a last minute notice the apartment was centrally located, and had everything that we needed. Edinburgh is an amazing city, and I highly recommend visiting. Thank you so much Lisa for your help and taking great care of us :).
Ian and Anna were wonderful guests. I didn't get the chance to meet them as I was traveling but the communication was great, they took excellent care of our two cats and home, and left the place spotless. Plus we came back to delicious maple fudge and a very sweet note. They are welcome back anytime and I hope to meet them in Vancouver sometime!
Leanne and Ken were delightful to host for a night as they made their way south. They left our guest home super tidy, and I was astonished that they even brought their own sheets! I would be genuinely happy to connect with them again, and perhaps in BC. Thank you for the delicious Canadian cookies and handy luggage tags. Warm wishes on your adventures!

My family (husband and 11 year old son) and I love to travel and we are ready to have more adventures! We met during an improv theater class and appreciate creativity through art, music, and exploring nature. I'm a retired makeup artist and my husband is a psychotherapist, and our son is an anime enthusiast.
*note: I don't have their photos on here due to the sensitive nature of my husband's work.
