Sandwiched between the mountains of the Pacific Northwest and the ocean, Portland, Oregon, is known for its wide variety of outdoor recreation and downtown attractions, drawing in millions of travelers every year. From skiers seeking an isolated retreat near Mt. Hood to foodies looking to stay in the heart of Restaurant Row, Airbnbs in Portland complete the experience by allowing guests to experience the region outside the traditional hotel.

Portland Airbnbs can allow outdoor adventurers to retreat to a secluded forest or, for city seekers, the option to experience the heart of the city like a local. Airbnbs also offer a more varied, eclectic travel experience, from sleeping in a converted double-decker bus to glamping at the foot of Mt. Hood. For other travelers, having multiple bathrooms for a large group or even a full kitchen pushes the decision away from traditional hotels and toward renting an entire cabin, guest house, or apartment.

Whether you want to experience the area's mountains, trails, wineries, art, music, or restaurants, these Portland Airbnbs create a unique travel experience.
