Evermore Guesthouse

I have stayed at the Evermore Guesthouse twice and each time was pleased by the place. It is very convenient to the southeast section of Portland and near a biking street. The rooms each time were clean, contained comfortable beds with nice bedding, and had roomy bathrooms. The room facing the street was noisy and I recommend ear plugs. A room facing the back was much quieter. The arrangement for breakfast was perfect for us. We don't eat much and just want a cup of coffee. There was fruit, breads, coffee, tea available in the kitchen and if guests wish, food could be brought in and prepared, with the caveat of cleaning up after oneself. Refrigerator space and labels were provided for guest food.

This is a place we would stay at anytime we were in Portland. The charm of staying in a converted grand house cannot compare to the anonymous alternatives of typical hotels. In-laid wood floors, arts and crafts built-ins and rich, dark wood banisters all give a feel you have gone back in time a hundred years ago. We also appreciated the low key way of interacting with the owners. You have access to the kitchen to compose your (simple) breakfast yourself, much like you are in a real home.

I stay at Evermore whenever I'm in Portland visiting my daughter. I think I've stayed there 4 or 5 times now. I think it's wonderful. And it's the only place I stay now, after several stays at a high-priced hotel. I'm thrilled to have found it. It's a lovely, gracious environment, a beautiful old home.

I wish I had known beforehand there wasn't a tv in the room, and it would have been nice to have some kind of protein in the breakfast, but other than that I love this place. I would definitely recommend it and would definitely stay there again.

Very pleasant stay. Rooms are quite comfortable. Claw foot tubs are great. Aesthetic of the house very pleasing. Gluten-free breakfast options present, but minimal.

Beautiful, comfortable, impeccably appointed and clean room in an absolutely gorgeous house. The staff is hands-off (I don't think I saw a single one of them during my entire two-night stay), which is unusual in my admittedly-limited experience with B&Bs. I would have liked to say "hi" and ask them a bit about the house, but given it was a pretty busy weekend for us, I didn't have time to miss it much. I had breakfast plans both mornings, so I didn't eat breakfast there. Everything looked tasty, though, and the other guests seemed to be enjoying the offerings. I really appreciated the use of the basement freezer. I was visiting a friend who'd just had surgery and brought some frozen homemade food with me. It was nice to have someplace to keep it until I could see him on Sunday.

Beautiful rooms and property. Location is great. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone.

Outstanding accommodation, excellent location

Staying at the Evermore Guesthouse was a great experience. A beautiful, comfortable, and clean home.

Lovely B&B. Comfortable and convenient.

Very comfortable convenient B&B. Chris and staff were friendly and full of good info. Lovely rooms.

Lovely place to stay in an excellent location. If you are looking for a chatty host, this is not the place, but if you want lovely rooms, and a peaceful setting, this is it.

This 100 year old home is much larger and more beautiful than it appears in the photos on line. We were enchanted with the lovely details in the house, lots of built in cabinets, stained and leaded glass, wood inlay floors. It is not a B&B where you have a sit down breakfast served to you and you feel you are staying in someone else's home. This is a guest house and the kitchen is available for you to cook. Plenty of lovely breakfast items, including gluten free, are left for you to eat whenever you would like. Normally a B&B serves things I can't eat, so this was really very nice for us. I would absolutely stay here again.

the house was beautiful, our room warm and comfy -- also quiet, continental breakfast lavish, location perfect for us, plan to stay there on our next trip to Portland

A perfect getaway that feels like home!

Evermore Guesthouse is a wonderful place to stay in Portland. Easy access to SE Portland neighborhoods, restaurants and shopping. After reading the review of others we were not expecting daily room maintenance or a prepared breakfast. It was very clean, open, and quiet. Off street parking was a plus. We would stay here again.

Great location, easy access to SE Portland and beyond. Beautiful house with lots of space and charm. Well stocked continental breakfast kitchen.

This B&B was affordable, clean and simply, but tastefully decorated. Comfy beds. It was a self serve breakfast, which is a little different, but it was nice to have use of the kitchen too.

Evermore is charming and efficiently run. Spacious and comfortably appointed room and self-service breakfast that is available at any time. Off-street parking was a major plus for me as was the separate heat controls for the bathroom. I would definitely recommend it. On the down side, my room faced a busy street and the traffic noise woke me in the mornings.

We were in town to visit my brother in the Hawthorne area and stayed in the studio apartment which was perfect. The set up is great, it is a convenient location for either driving or walking places, and the pricing was extremely reasonable. My only suggestion would be if you want more than one smallish towel per person, I would ask ahead.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Evermore Guesthouse. The room was spacious, the bed comfy, the bathtub luxurious, and my time spent there restorative. You do not see many staff around the place. In fact, my first evening there I was the only person in the entire house. The breakfast is made available at your convenience in the kitchen downstairs. It is well stocked with delicious breakfast foods, and I found the set up to be quite nice. My one complaint was that there was a dirty towel left in the bathroom, to the side of the bath. Everything else seemed quite clean, however, so it appears to have been a simple oversight. Overall, I enjoyed my stay here and would stay again if I need accommodation in Portland!

This was a fun time for the two of us to be able to stay on Portland and yet feel at home . It was convenient to be in the neighborhood and the two restaurants nearby were just great food. The beds were really comfortable too.

Delighted to find great muffins and breakfast items from local bakeries, instead of Costco fare.

We spent a week with our sons at the Evermore Guesthouse and had great time at this wonderful old house in a pleasant part of Portland that has been lovingly restored. The weather was rainy so we frequently stayed in and played games and cooked meals together.. The selection of breakfast foods was fabulous, with lots of organic, gluten free treats, sweetened with agave. Each room was different with its individual charm. The staff was prompt in responding to any requests, such as printing out boarding passes. The only problem was with the heating which had to be turned off in order to sleep comfortably at night. Room temperatures were always higher than the numbers reflected on the thermostat.

We were there in early December. I think there was only one other couple staying in the place so it was a bit lonely in the big house. Help was there in the morning and both were delightful young women. Bagels were on the stale side - I assume because there was no one there to eat them. But I'm not saying I didn't like our experience - I would come again at a busier time of year. We really liked the neighborhood, we walked all over just enjoying it. PS: I can't rate the dining because there wasn't any - just a serve-yourself continental breakfast, which was fine with me.

Lovely well kept old house without the overly frue frue decor and hovering hosts. Just right for our style, comfortable and casual.

Exceeded all expectations -- incredibly comfortable bed, spacious, well-appointed, immaculately restored, beautiful view of dramatic trees, excellent selection of breakfast and snack items. Will definitely return!

We loved our stay at the guesthouse. The location was superb and the house and room comfortable and beautiful. Thanks so much. We hope to return.

Very impressive setting...lovely home but sparsely decorated. Interesting self service breakfast. Veryclean but few towels and amenities. No TV but WiFi! Very nice residential neighborhood.

Much enjoyed my stay. The accomodations/rooms were charming.

What a wonderful time we had at the Evermore Guesthouse. We were in the top of the mansion. Our room was elegant and restful. The staff Diane helped us find the Cup and Saucer Cafe. We are looking forward to stay there again.

I enjoyed my extended stay at Evermore. It is a lovely home. The simple self-serve breakfast was fine. My only wish was for the addition of yogurt and/or eggs. The offerings were very carb-heavy.

Beautiful old home, very simply and tastefully decorated. Self-serve breakfast so low key. I was traveling for work and there was plenty of great space to work. Overall a great stay.

We found Evermore after having been overcharged and disappointed elsewhere. It is on a main street in Southeast Portland, which is where our son lives. We were pleased with the hospitality and informality there. We plan to revisit Evermore each time we return to Portland. Bill

Our daughter found this B& B for us. It was a great place to stay ~ comfortable, great value for the price and nice and quiet. It is close to bus lines, which was very handy as we didn't rent a car during our stay.

I recently stayed at the Evermore while attending a workshop in Portland. The house was very cozy and comfortable, the room was spacious, clean and very comfortable. The self-serve kitchen was convenient, I could help myself to coffee or a late evening plate for my take out or even cook if I wanted to. Staff were friendly and helpful when I phoned for a couple of questions, and helped me find dining in town within walking distance. I would definitely stay there again.

Lovely substantial old house with many original features. Convenient parking and easy access to downtown Portland by bus. Helpful but unobtrusive staff

It was quietly staffed by friendly locals. The place was beautiful, comfortable, convenient. I will definitely stay there again.

The private deck with chairs and tables was perfect for an afternoon spot to read. We enjoyed the quirky floor plan, and the bath was nice, but a shower might have been a better fit for us. Breakfast was adequate, not stunning. The bed was comfortable, and everything was very clean and well kept. We would go again!

My husband and I loved the Evermore Guesthouse! It was easy to find and the door code made check in so easy! We stayed in the third floor skylight room. Our room was beautiful and perfectly clean. The bed was very firm, which wasn't ideal for us. We loved the little balcony and the beautiful bathroom with a claw foot tub! We are active so it was easy for us to walk to the Hawthorne District and around the area and admire the beautiful homes. The DIY breakfast was interesting but we enjoyed the freedom to rise when we wanted and having access to the fridge came in handy. We always found something to eat like cereal or bagels and the coffee was good. We would definitely recommend the Guesthouse though we would probably seek out a room where the bed is less firm!

We like the comfort of the bedroom and bathroom and the relaxed ambiance. We were able to prepare lunches in the kitchen for our daily outings. The wireless set up is great. So is the nice long dining table that encourages socializing with other guests.

Caveat - I am completely insane for writing this as it's going to make it harder to stay here. When I stayed at the sister property, Bluebird Guesthouse, it reminded me of a Reed House, just nicer, quieter, and cleaner. With muffins. After scoping out their site for this trip for Reed Leadership Weekend, I thought I would treat myself to a step up, Evermore. And when I rolled in at 10 pm it blew my mind because THIS USED TO BE A REED HOUSE! It was called the Wedding House, rented out to students who, I believe, froze the pipes over a cold winter break, leading the landlord back to renting it for weddings. I have actually attended a Reed student's wedding there. Anyway, it's the typical deal, you get a passcode for the door, never see the owners, and the room I picked was great because it had a private kitchen and dining area. All guests are welcomed to use the main kitchen, but the private kitchen was sweet. The Studio Apartment was silent and I had a very relaxing stay. They offer free WiFi in every room. The rooms are, in my opinion, nicer that Bluebird Guesthouse, which I also like quite a bit. I'm looking forward to trying out the 3rd Floor Suite next year. -Jessica B.

Sleeping in the third floor suite with door open and wind wafting through was a great experience!!!

the staff were very helpful, answered all my many questions about Portland. The bed was comfortable and I loved the beautifrul stained glass windows and 'welcoming' ladies in the front hall!

We recently stayed, for the second time, at the Evermore. As on our first visit, everything was fabulous - room, food & beverages provided, helpfulness of staf, etc,. We recommend the Evermore to anyone staying in Portland, OR. We hope to get back to it again.

I stayed at the Evermore for two nights recently while visiting my daughter in Portland. I loved the Guesthouse and the suite I stayed in was wonderful. It had a separate sitting area and also a large deck off the bedroom. Plenty of windows if you like the fresh air & light. The decor was a mix of old antique-style furniture, and modern bedding. Bathroom was old style but extremely well-kept just like everything else in the building. I'd recommend this B & B to anyone visiting the area.

I thoroughly enjoyed my two nights at Evermore. Room was very clean, bed was comfortable, breakfast spread was outstanding, it's the perfect neighborhood location. I've also stayed in their sister guesthouse, The Blue Bird, and had an equally positive experience -- the Evermore is just a tad bit more upscale in size of rooms, etc. I did not meet the owners but am very impressed with the obvious pride of ownership because the property is exceptionally well maintained and thoughtfully furnished to provide the guest with a perfect experience. I will definitely return here.

Room was spacious and clean. Breakfast consisted of bagels or pastries and coffee - decent for a continental breakfast. No room service but the staff was friendly when they were around. Overall I'd recommend and stay there again - a good value.

This is a unique spot in SE Portland with offstreet parking, easy access to I-84 and arterials in all directions, and is in a super bikeable/walkable neighborhood. The evening we stayed around the hotel we just wandered and found all manners of food, drink and fun. Breakfast is a health foodie-oriented continental breakfast, and high quality (they don't skimp on good bread, baked goods, fruit, nice coffee, etc.). We were really pleased with our stay, and the check in/check out was super simple. Would totally recommend this to friends and family!

We will be back again and again!!! Exceeds the Bluebird Guesthouse experience. The combination of modern conveniences and stately architecture is stunning!!! We love being able to prepare our own food. The porches are a treat, too'

I stayed in the house on my wedding night, so unfortunately I was only there for about 8 hours. But the bed was extremely comfortable, and the room was so beautiful. The neighborhood and surrounding grounds were also lovely, and it made for a very pleasant walk home.

Gorgeous and well appointed, Evermore exceeded our expectations. From the fun nooks and crannies in the 3rd floor skylight room to the excellent equipment in the compact and stylish kitchenette in the Studio, we enjoyed everything about our stay and look forward to the next time.

This a beautifully maintained old craftsman style house. We stayed in the studio and would gladly stay there again. Much attention has been paid to details which we admired; high quality window coverings, super quiet and efficient cooling system, special closing latches on cupboards and drawers, lovely bed linens, etc. Also, we liked that we checked ourselves in and out, had breakfast when we chose to, and generally felt like we were at home. I think our only suggestion is that there needs to be a shower guard installed to prevent water from splashing onto the floor. Thank you for a pleasant stay and we'll be back.

We didn't need the big fancy-shmancy breakfast as we just wanted to be able to grab a quick bite and go. Coffee, bagels and fruit worked for us. Some other guests even made pancakes for themselves. We enjoyed a walk around the area one morning and checked out a food pod and a yard sale and watched all the bicycle traffic flow down Clinton street. The room was comfortable, spacious, and quiet, despite being located on a busy street. There was usually someone around if we needed more towels or had a question. I have family in Portland and usually visit once a year. We will definitely make plans to stay at Evermore Guesthouse again.

Evermore is a lovely historical home, though hard to see the driveway from the street, but I understand the overgrowth acts to shield the noise from the main street. The rooms were bright and clean and beds were very comfortable. I especially enjoyed the honor system for breakfast. You were given a variety of breakfast foods and beverages to choose from without actually having to sit with a stranger at breakfast. Overall, this B&B exceeded my sisters and I expectations.

Stayed 8 days. Was told linens/towels would be changed after every 3 days- this only happenned once. They need to provide access to more towels particularly. Parking lot should be striped to allow for better parking. Signage out front lacking, so finding the property initially was very difficult. The self-serve breakfast isnt bad and was pretty good. The house itself is realy nice and my room was very comfortable and clean.

The Evermore Guesthouse is the perfect location for us, near our daughter. We have stayed there 3 times and love going back to the same room. The workers were helpful and very courteous.

Very nice rooms. Good continental self serve breakfast. Great access to dining and shopping Division St. as well as other neighborhoods in Southeast. I will definitely be back!

One of the best guesthouses we've stayed at. Room was large with a private balcony, which was a great place to bring the help-yourself breakfast up to and to have guests over. Everything was clean, well-appointed, and it was quiet, even on a somewhat busy street. We had one little problem with the A/C, but it was fixed ASAP and we got a little discount on the bill. I'd stay here again definitely.

Great stay in the attic room, amazing house, great breakfast, nice relaxed hosts - also close to public transportation - within a short blocks walk. Overall really nice stay. Didn't want to leave.

Great old treasure of a house but they have neglected the exterior - it is aging badly and the grounds do not appear to be even on the list, much less a priority. We had a private balcony with chairs but the area was not kept up to a level that would make you want to rest there. A good sweep and a clean of the patio furniture would help - more attention would be great - a little paint and a couple of plants maybe? Room was clean and neat - arranged in a way that allowed movement and use. The house is located on a major street and the traffic noise level is noticeable well into the night. Service personnel was nonexistent. They did put out self-service breads and cereals for breakfast, but one morning my husband had to get the things out of the fridge - he was apparently first up but it was well after 8AM. Coffee was plentiful and adequate. If you call for assistance with reservations, the answering machine tells you NOT to call the 'special number" unless you are checking in on that day - makes it seem as though they cannot be bothered with anyone but today's clients. They do return calls, but I would not consider the response prompt nor particularly considerate. You just don't get the impression that you are much more than a revenue stream - no special care, no special attention to detail - just the bare minimum for a standard to above average price. In a city full of stellar B& B's in glorious old homes, as well as stunning boutique hotels, and funky hipster digs - the Evermore is going to have to try harder (much harder) in order to get any returning business. Nevermore for us.

Thank you for your review, we will take to heart the feedback regarding the yard and patio. Our on-call phone definitely is available to anyone "currently checked in today", as it states, apologies that you misunderstood the message. Regarding the service, we are a guesthouse and have never advertised as a high end bed and breakfast, and our rates reflect that. We are about the house all day, sometimes in the office and sometimes cleaning rooms or doing laundry, etc. We carry the phone so are available to meet up with you within 30 seconds, and are happy to assist with anything you need. As the majority of our guests want a unique Portland neighborhood experience on their own terms and schedule we strive to not be over-bearing, and our apologies if you took this as anything else.

What a great find! My wife and I stayed here during the week of the Brewfest and were surprised by how few guests there seemed to be. It's a charming old house, comfortable and very well maintained. The kitchen is well-stocked for diy breakfasts. If you prefer something special La Petite Provence is just up the street on Division. Parking is off the street and a direct bus to downtown is a block away. The young ladies who are there in the morning and cleaning during the day are very helpful. We'll definitely return.

We'll be back. Great place on the eastside, nice to be able to avoid hotel/motel with this great alternative to traditional B&B.

We've never stayed in a B&B where we had to make our own breakfast!!! It would have been interesting to have a history of the house available.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you for the review and the suggestion to have a house history available, I will put one together from what we've been able to learn! Regarding the breakfast, we do try to make it as clear as possible in our listings that the breakfast is continental, and our website goes a step further by detailing the offerings.

The common areas are lovely, but our room (the studio apartment) was very ordinary. The bathroom sink didn't drain well, and we could have used more towels. If you want a warm and fuzzy B&B experience, this isn't for you. We didn't mind making our own breakfast and taking care of our own room. It would have been nice to have clean towels at midpoint in our 5-night stay. Close to public transportation to downtown Portland.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
We will get right on the drain immediately, please don't hesitate to let us know during your stay if anything is not working properly. Regarding the towels, etc., we put in detail on our website, as well as the welcome letter left on your bed at check-in, that while we do not automatically perform daily room service we are more than happy to provide any cleaning or towels/linens upon request. We have found this helps keep costs down significantly, which we would otherwise have to pass on to the room rates, while still providing a level of service that all our guests are happy with.

A beautiful room in a beautiful house - gorgeous historical details throughout. Options for the self-serve continental breakfast were limited. More fruit choices and yogurt would have been appreciated.

We enjoyed our week at Evermore very much. The room was comfortable and quiet, the breakfast company was interesting, and the location was perfect for our needs! We hope to stay there on our next trip to Portland.

The 3rd floor suite was very spacious with a separate living room area, two windows that opened to the treetops, and a luxurious bathroom. The bed was very comfortable. The guesthouse is conveniently located with ample parking as well as a bus stop across the street to the airport and another bus stop a couple of blocks away that takes you down town in about 20-30 minutes. It was very peaceful. I hardly saw anyone else. The breakfast available was grab and go which worked for me because I had to be in the city each day.

First, the place is hard to find, no sign. The old mansion is elegant but cold in an emotional sense. We saw no one except other guests during our stay. Breakfast was "make your own" from carbs; no protein available. The expected breakfast with hosts and other guests was conspicuous in its absence. And, it is overpriced. I would not recommend it as a B&B; as a highway stop over motel, it would do.

Evermore is conveniently located to the bus stops. Although there is ample parking available, if you want to avoid the hassle of parking in downtown Portland, the bus trip is quick 20 minutes to SW Main Street and SW 2nd Avenue. The public transport to and from the airport took about an hour. On a different note, the 3rd floor suite is extremely spacious and comfortable with a fabulous modern bathroom.

The room was beautiful and the location was central to a great many restaurants and shops.

My husband and I spent one night in a lovely 2nd floor suite which included a comfortable bed, sitting area with fireplace and a balcony surrounded by beautiful, big trees. The neighborhood of old, restored houses with lots of colorful vegetation is lovely. The breakfast was self-serve and had a variety of foods although I would suggest including eggs on the menu.

We really enjoyed relaxing in the comfortable rooms with large windows and a great bath.

Beautiful, unique guest house. Very helpful staff. Quiet, unspoiled B&B, in a great neighborhood. We like the rooms and wonderful bathroom on the third floor, especially the balconies and claw foot bathtub. Location is in walking distance to Hawthorne District.

We loved the relaxed and beautiful atmosphere. The room was great. We enjoyed getting up early, reading the paper in the quiet. Beautiful neighborhood and setting.

Stayed there before, like it very much. Convenient parking. Also liked the other house connected with them, Bluebird Guest House.

Evermore Guesthouse is a trip back in time. The magnificent old home is well-preserved and refurbished. The "hands-off" approach is perfect for people who appreciate a quiet, no hassle overnight stay. We were very pleased.

I enjoyed my stay in the lovely older house, impressed by the large, clean rooms and beautiful wood floors and appointments. Comfortable bed. It was refreshing to be left on my own to make coffee and partake of the breakfast foods and meet some of the other folks staying there. The location was perfect for my visit. I would definitely recommend the place to others.

I have been there for four nights; didn't actually expect the place to be that good. The neighbourhood is very quiet and clean. The staff were very friendly and helping. The only less pleasant point is breakfast food variety was not adequate. I would recommend it to a frind and whenever I am coming back to Portland it will be first place to look for vacancies in.

The rooms are clean. The place is not close to the city center, but the bus connection is good and there are many places to eat nearby.

We chose the Evermore because it was very conveniently located near in South East Portland and close to Reed College. It was the perfect place to stay. The setting is beautiful with a historic feel and gorgeous large stained glasses in the foyer. I was also quiet (you let yourself in with a door code, there was no TV in the room which I think was a great thing) so perfect for a vacation and to catch up on your reading. The rooms are large and the beds VERY comfortable, with nice touches like robes and delicately scented soap). If you needed to check your email there was a computer in the lobby with a very fast connection. Breakfast included assorted pastries (the scones were delicious), and there was always fresh fruit which I really liked, in addition of course to milk/coffee and cereal. It was very easy to get something if you needed a snack at night. The hosts were very discrete but available if we needed them. They were really nice to let us use the washing machine dryer in the basement. The inn location was very convenient in that you could easily walk to a convenience store, a drugstore, Clinton Corner (that had small coffee shops) as well as a few blocks away from shopping (great consignment stores in Portland) and several excellent restaurants. You could also catch the bus on the corner. There was plenty of parking in the back (free) which was great when friends came to meet us. Overall I highly recommend the Evermore.

Evermore Guesthouse is a great place to stay. The house is beautiful, rooms spacious and well appointed, and I believe the bed was the most comfortable hotel bed I have EVER slept on. I expect a B&B to have a cooked breakfast though - but the website is very clear that it really is a Bed & Cook it yourself breakfast, so we knew what to expect. Still, for the price, I really wanted breakfast.

This was a return trip for us. We love the place and the location. So close to places to visit, things to eat. The Evermore is clean, historic and worth visiting. Have had two comfortable pleasant stays and hope to return.

Our first visit to Evermore House was in January this year. It became our safe harbor from the wonderful chaos surounding out neice's wedding reception. The peace and quiet, the home-like surroundings, very comfortable bed, spacious room and generous breakfast offerings suited us perfectly. While it initially seemed a bit odd that we had to prepare our own breakfast, by the second day, the lack of a formal, time-regimented meal had enormous appeal. We could rise and eat on our own schedule, whether early or late, were offered good variety; lots of fruit and other healthful choices; excellent coffee. Same niece, second verse. This past weekend, we stayed at the Evermore House again to attend our niece's graduation from University of Portland Nursing School. This time we stayed in the 3rd floor suite. In all honesty, it was a bit of an effort to haul 2 senior citizens of particular over 60+ age and luggage up three flights the first day, but by the second day, we had honed our climbing skills and it was not quite so daunting. The room more than made up for the access issue. As before, we were pleased with the entire facility, the breakfast offerings and the peace and quite offered by the House. The house, east of I-5 and downtown by about 3 1/2 miles or so, has easy access. There are quite good restaurants nearby and some in walking distance. Due to the ease of coming and going, not dealing with downtown high-rise and/or pay-for parking in the huge hotels, the distance from the downtown core area is an enormous benefit. The Evemore House remains our choice when visiting Portland from our rural, mid-Oregon Coast home.

I stayed here for two days and two nights and was pleasantly surprised by the charm of this house. The neighborhood is fun and eclectic and there were plenty of things to do within walking distance. My room was very comfortable, and clean, and I was struck by how nice everyone was. I will definitely stay here again if/when I get to revisit Portland.

I had a very enjoyable experience here. The location was great, an easy bike ride to anywhere we wanted to go. The whole house was beautiful, we stayed in the 3rd floor skylight room which was great. Really recommend this place, and will probably be back soon.

I found my room at the Evermore Guesthouse to be very comfortable, the bed and bedding were awesome. It is a clean, comfortable and safe feeling place, just the right amount of amenities. The location worked well for me and I appreciated the off street parking. If only I could bring my dog, it'd be the Best #1 place to stay in Portland.

very conveniently located and clean. We barely saw anyone during our stay at the house, but those we met were most pleasant. We will absolutely stay there again.

The Evermore has very comfortable rooms with feel-like-home accommodations. It's well preserved woodwork and beautiful hardwood floors enhance one's experience in a friendly, old-time neighborhood.

I loved this hauntingly beautiful guest house, amazing stain glass panels, spartan, classic furniture, and well loved hardwood. It was romantic and poetic, comfortable and thoughtful. But most of all peaceful, I hardly saw a soul though all the rooms were full. Breakfast was considerate and organic. Cheers, Evermore you get my vote

We had to arrange a quick stay in Portland for three days on short notice. We usually stay at this B &Bs sister house, The Bluebird. Unfortunatly they were booked up, so we tried the Evermore for the first time. We found The Evermore a lovely venue, a very impressive older home in an established neighborhood. It is very convenient to local shops and restaurants, and we really appreciate the 'hands off' but professional housekeeping staff. We will always recommend The Evermore and The Bluebird to any visitor to Portland.

This guesthouse was clean, quiet, well taken care of, in a great location, and affordable. If you are simply looking for a clean place to sleep for the night without any hassle this is a great option. Easy to book online. I will definitely stay there again.

Recently we spent 3 nights in the Skylight Room. We were impressed with how clean and comfortable our room was. The bed, pillows, and bedding were comfy and high quality. The self-serve breakfast foods were fresh and tasty. Self-serve breakfast suites our lifestyle by not having to eat breakfast at any set time. We loved the style of the house and its beautiful, peaceful ambiance. We plan to stay at the Evermore Guesthouse next time we are in Portland.

Very nice, spacious suite in quiet neighborhood. We never saw any staff, which was a bit disconcerting. The only problem was that we had no hot water the first night because the water heater had broken.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you for the kind words and good ratings. I regret that we were not able to meet you in person, this happens occasionally but most often we do see guests during their stay. The staff go about the house answering emails in the office, cleaning guest rooms / bathrooms, doing laundry in the basement, landscaping outside etc. Next visit feel free to call us, we carry the phone and love getting a chance to take a break to meet you in person! Apologies about the hot water, it was fixed later that night. Contact us directly as we would like to offer you a discount on your stay.

What an awesome place! Clean, comfortable and well worth the price. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Great place to stay on this side of Portland. The house itself is amazing. The room was comfortable and clean. Would stay here again.

I enjoyed my stay and will return on my next visit to Portland.

The master suite on the third floor of Evermore House was remarkable. So very spacious, and open with great light (even in the winter in Portland). The bath was remarkable. The period pieces of furniture were beautiful, the bed comfortable, and the house quiet. It was a true delight at a very reasonable cost. I will return.

We stayed at the Evermore Guest House for four nights this past week. We loved it. The attention to detail and cleanliness were outstanding as was Jessica's interest in our satisfaction as guests. I'll return and recommend the Evermore to friends. JH from NYC, NY

I can think of no better way to experience Portland than staying at the Evermore. It is an easy walk to numerous restaurants and shops that exemplify a range of the Southeast Portland culture: Skavone's, Stumptown, Lauro and Pix for food, Village Merchant, Red Light and the Hawthorne district if you want to find interesting stuff to purchase or just window shop for. The Guesthouse itself was so welcoming and comfortable. I only wish we'd been able to stay longer.

I have always been leery of B&Bs, worried about noise, cleanliness, and heaven forbid having to share a bathroom or kitchen. This was so clean and quiet. The bed was great and I won't stay in a corporate-feeling, impersonal hotel again when I'm in Portland. Our daughter is at Reed College and I expect we will be regular visitors. I liked that there was no maid service during my stay, as it felt very private and safe.

This is a beautiful arts and crafts mansion nicely restored with full amenities. The suite rooms are roomy and well appointed. Ours was the largest top room with a beautiful bathroom. Still a little spare on the furnishings, as they have recently renovated the building. The public rooms could use some period or oriental rugs and traditional if new arts and crafts furnishings could augment some of the collected antiques that are more of the cottage or victorian type. Breakfast is serve-your-self, in a well stocked kitchen except for eggs (which I had to take a block walk to purchase), a must have for those of us limiting carbs. With just these few improvements, it would have been rated outstanding instead of exceed. I would return.

We enjoyed our stay and will stay again the next time we need a room in Portland.

The private and community rooms were warm and welcoming and super clean. Loved the decor and character of this charming place. The well equipped and plentifully stocked kitchen was an added bonus. Friendly, helpful staff as well. Everything was "Top Drawer!"

We were blown away by the beautiful detail at this gem of a house. Everything was elegant and spacious and clean. Recommending to others and can't wait for a repeat stay.

This is without a doubt the best B and B we have stayed at. The rooms are spacious, clean, and have great amenities. This will now be our place whenever we are in Portland

We stayed in the 3rd floor skylight room. The room was a delight: cozy, clean, and comfortable. The bathroom was lovely and clean and we enjoyed the big clawfoot tub. You can tell they've done a lot of work to make sure everything looks beautiful and well ordered and works well. And the location was so close to Hawthorne where we like to walk and shop. We really enjoyed our stay!

The Guesthouse is in a great neighborhood and has outstanding rooms and amenities. They really respected our privacy and it was great to know you could use anything in the kitchen. Great internet and phone access.

We recently visited our son in Portland and were pleasantly surprised to find two diamonds in the Portland area. The Bluebird and Evermore Guesthouses were a perfect match. They say people make the difference well Laura and Nina were great!!! The rates for the rooms very fair the comfy feel of the homes perfect. Evermore has turned into a gem,Chris great job on refurbishing the place. We will absolutely be back on our next trip to Portland.We travel and stay in Hotels ugh,these places are a great way to experience Portland from a different light. The staff was very helpful with suggestions on seeing Portland. Thanks for making our trip loads of fun.

The house and rooms are lovely and very comfortable. I was dismayed, however, to find that there is no maid service so the beds are not made and the towels are not changed out on a daily basis. Had I known, I would have opted for a hotel.

Thank you for your kind words about the house. Regarding the maid service we do post on our website that we do not do a daily clean but that we are happy to take care of any requests. We also re-iterate this info on the welcome letter the guest receives in their room upon arrival. Many guests do not need or want daily service, which helps keep the price lower for everyone, and the guests that do want daily service need just ask!

Evermore's history and attention to details and furnishings shine though. Beautifully restored to reflect it's heritage with modern comforts. Staff are friendly and helpful. We live in a character house and Evermore reminds us of a little bit of home.

We called on the day that we needed a reservation, and they happened to have an opening. Luckily if you reserve your room on the day of, you get a $40 discount on the room rate. It was a pleasant surprise, since this place would have been well worth the normal rate. It was really nice to stay in such a cozy room with an amazing bed. If you have a little bit of money to spend on a good room, then I would definitely recommend the Evermore Guest House.

Once a year, we travel from PA to Portland OR to visit my son. Normally, we stay at the Bluebird Guesthouse on Division Street. This year, we were fortunate enough to stay at the Bluebird's sister guesthouse, Evermore, just a few blocks away from the Bluebird. What a wonderful old structure! The rooms were charming, with several nice amenities. Chris and staff have always been more than happy to accommodate us during our stays. We won't consider staying any other place in Portland...it's our home away from home!
