The Walker House. One of a kind stay in Portland's West End, Walker's Paradise! | Apartment in Portland

The Walker House is located in Portland's West End. It has been lovingly maintained and dates from 1836. This is truly a unique gem and in such a walkable location, you won’t be disappointed. Just a few steps to the finest coffee shops including Yord Prom, Tandem Coffee Roasters and amazing local farm fresh restaurants like Local 188, Chaval and Hot Suppa just to name a few.
The Walker House is a completely furnished private apartment but more like a house. It is rented exclusively to you and your guests. The space comfortably accommodates 6 people. Private entry way and sitting gardens, plush living room, dining room, and fully equipped kitchen makes this house perfect for a couples' or family getaway. The apartment is very large with multiple hang out spaces. Please read-on for details and I'm always happy to answer any questions.
Generous closet storage space for wonderful long weekends and weekly stays! Guests in the Summer and Fall months are greeted with fresh flowers and a chilled bottle of Prosecco for their immediate enjoyment upon arrival. Lovely gardens surround property. We also have off-street parking (so no need to worry about paid-for parking in Portland which is very difficult in the Summer months!) Please read through the space description and if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to email.
