Amazing property right on Division. We were in town to see a show at the Tomorrow Theatre across the street so location was 10/10. Easy access to the house/room and the continental breakfast spread was impressive. Would and will book again the next time we stay the night in Portland.

Very comfortable and the location is ideal. Great restuarants, bakeries, bars, etc all within a block or three. Well worth it but there are a couple downsides. It's an older house so creaky floors, and its located on a busy road. No matter, we would stay here again for sure.

Wonderful “home away from home”

The house is old and the stairs creak. I had a basement room and the noise was intrusive until about 11 pm. I would not stay there again because of this noise. They need to take remediative steps to make sure the steps and the floor do not make noise if they are renting basement rooms. I was very tired all day after trying to sleep there.

Great location nearest excellent eateries on Crossing Street and fun shops. Wonderful sweet room. Only complaints is there was this creepy light that shined over the bed for a few minutes when you turned out the light --super creepy and the people in the house above us came in very late, like 2am, creeking about so awoken and for some of us, it's hard to go back to sleep. Wash available if your mid trip and need to wash your things. Super convenient and cozy.

Great place. Right in the midfle of busy SE Portland. Close to so many great restaurants & bars. shops yet a respite from the clamor of the neighborhood. Great 24/7 breakfast/snack items. Quiet, cozy room & great batroom. Lovely, older decor. Staff was friendly. Bluebird Guesthouse was a real lifesaver during a difficult time in Portland.

Bluebird Guesthouse is exactly as described. I had an issue with my room as I thought I had booked a room with an en-suite bathroom (per Expedia message). However, upon check in this was not the case. Tiffany and Chris were so helpful and it worked out that a room with en-suite bathroom was available and they were able to move me over. I was so thankful for their help! Next time I will book directly through the property. Otherwise, they had great breakfast options readily available. Other guests was so respectful and quiet at appropriate hours. I was able to find street parking in the neighborhood. And there are so many fantastic restaurants, coffee and dessert shops within easy walking distance. I would stay here again.

We stayed for 8 days at the Bluebird Guesthouse. I really like staying in a house rather than a hotel. There is plenty of food available for breakfast in a real kitchen. It is nice to be in a quiet house with no radio or tv blaring. There is internet access, but we used it only as necessary. There is a bookcase with books and games in the living room. We played Scrabble and Bananagrams and had a hilarious time playing the Office trivia game.
We were in the Gabriel Marquez room, the room on the first floor with a fireplace room right outside it. It was spacious and clean.

The clawfoot tub was a bit difficult to climb in and out of, but the shower was good. The handle for the hot water is loose and fell off several times, but it still operated.

I would stay here again.

Gem in Portland Area

LOVED staying in this 1910 guesthouse! Craftsman style architecture, plenty of built-ins, clawfoot tub, sky-light window to fall asleep under…the house definitely displayed its age but well-kept and clean! Our bathroom was literally next to our room, which I wasn’t thrilled with at first, but really didn’t mind as the house was pretty quiet and private. Breakfast options were the best around and staff was friendly. I’m more of a private person, so the self-check in and check-out were perfect, and we were able to eat by ourselves in the enclosed porch area. I could see street parking might be an issue on busier nights, but we had no problem finding a space, and even if you have to walk, it’s worth it. Thank you!

A Pleasant Surprise!

We have always stayed in hotels when we have travelled to Portland in the past, but we have been curious about trying this guest house, and on our recent trip, we finally tried it. What a pleasant surprise! The room was very comfortable, the self-service kitchen was well stocked with various food items to feed the guests with cereals, fruit, coffee, juice, etc. It had the feel of staying in the guest room at a friend's house. Very sweet. We will stay there again the next time we visit Portland.

Good and with some tweaks would be better

Room was clean and fine. There wasnt temperature control in these old rooms and the thermostat for the baseboard heating was right next to the window so the heat kept kicking on during the night. Took me a while to figure out the problem. The duvet was very warm and while there were sheets in the cupboard that guests could out on, making a bed when you arrive and are tired feels a little underwhelming. The location was great. The street is pretty loud and we needed the windows open for air so i would suggest ear plugs. Might be nice to provide these to guests. Was glad i had brought my laptop for watching tv.

Thank you Bluebird Guesthouse!

Staying at the Guesthouse felt like a throwback to a gentler, more community-minded era. The room was lovely with a super comfy bed. It was the first night on a long trip of one-night stays that I slept well. The kitchen was generously stocked with breakfast supplies and snacks. Right around the corner was a food truck ally, had a delicious dinner (Indian food). Great neighborhood, but most importantly, the lovely, comfortable, and welcoming atmosphere at Bluebird Guesthouse. Thank you!

My only reason for not giving five stars for property condition was that during the power outage of 1/9-1/10, the stairs to the basement rooms could have used emergency lighting of some kind--such as the cheap, battery operated devices that can be bought at any hardware store. The stairs were very dark! In fact, such lights could be installed in every room and corridor for very little money. Typically they are operated by touch and then turn on, providing limited hours of light during an emergency. Otherwise, I love the Bluebird guesthouse and plan more stays there this year!

This is a simple guesthouse, right on Division close to dining, shops, and the people we were visiting. Parking is on the street, but I've never had a problem finding a spot, break-ins, etc.

Depending on the room, some of the fixtures could stand an update, but on the other hand, they are all vintage, so that is part of the charm.

The room was lovely and comfortable. We were not prepared for the \"private bath\" to be down the hallway. Also, entry to the guesthouse requires an access code for the security keypad. We were told we would receive the access code in an email message but we did not find an email. We were able to connect with the house manager (there is no staff on-site) by telephone and were informed the code would be in a text message. Breakfast is available in the kitchen but is do-it-yourself. The guesthouse is in an interesting neighborhood with dining and shopping available. On-street parking is available nearby.

STAY HERE (but don't take my reservation!!!)

Okay, I hate doing this, because I don't want to be priced out of, or lose reservations to, this amazing property. It is an old school BnB in the true sense of the word. Each room is named after an author, and I was beyond pleased to stay in my childhood favorite author of all time's room!! AND THEY HAVE AVAILABLE THE RELEVANT READING MATERIAL!!!! The furnishings are lovely. Appropriately weathered so as to give an \"antique\" experience, but not so precious you feel like you're ruining a precious object by using it for it's intended purpose. Really beautifully appointed. The breakfast provided gave quite a variety of options. THE SERVICE IS UNPARALLELED! Special shout-out to Becca and Erika (yeah, fellow Aquarians!) and Chris, who really made my stay great. This is located on a fairly busy street, with lots of amazing shops, eateries, and a few dive bars nearby, but I was there from Saturday until Thursday, and never had a problem with noise (things quieted down by 9p). If it is possible to have a crush on a property, then I definitely do!!
