Baker City, Oregon, is one of the Beaver State's most historic places; it's a town known for its ties to the state's pioneer days, with the Geiser Grand Hotel being the town's most iconic feature. But it's not all history lessons here; Baker City is located in the heart of the eponymous Baker County, which is colloquially referred to as "the base camp for Eastern Oregon" -- an area that includes the Snake River, Oregon Trail, and Hells Canyon. It's a historic and scenic region that's best explored over several days. And this secluded and rustic VRBO near Baker City will perfectly set the tone for your adventure in this incredible place in Oregon.
This is Baker City, a winsome and renowned town located in eastern Oregon. Here you'll find more than 100 historic buildings, with some of the best shops, restaurants, and accommodations in the state -- including, of course, the celebrated Geiser Grand Hotel.
However, if you want to avoid the hustle and bustle of Baker City's busy downtown district, there's a charming and cozy cabin just 20 minutes outside of town that will allow you to do just that.
This 900-square-foot dwelling is quite rustic; there is no running water (the owners provide water for guests, however!) and no internet, either. But trust us when we say that you won't miss either of these modern-day amenities!
But what makes this place so special is its location. Not only is it a stone's throw from Baker City, but it's also situated in the most breathtaking natural area. There's a babbling brook that flows behind the property; after a rainfall, you'll be charmed by the creek's enchanting little cascades!
This is an off-the-grid lodging experience that will take you back in time, setting the perfect mood for your exploration of one of Oregon's most historic areas. And the best part? Staying in this adorable little cabin is incredibly affordable at just $95/night!
I took a solo trip to Portland, Oregon, for my 40th birthday and was so excited to plan my itinerary. I planned to visit natural wonders like the Columbia River Gorge and Multnomah Falls *and* Rose City attractions like Powell’s, the Portland Japanese Garden, and all of the delicious restaurants in PDX. As such, I knew I wanted to stay somewhere close to everything -- including the airport -- and wanted to live like a local for the weekend, so I decided to go the Airbnb route. I navigated over to Airbnb, entered my parameters -- trip dates, budget, location -- and hoped for the best.

I had no idea that I'd actually happen on what I think might be *the* best Airbnb in Portland, Oregon: this Urban Cottage, a guest favorite with shining 5-star reviews, a seasoned Superhost, and an outdoor sauna, to boot! I booked this Rose City rental and was immediately contacted by the Airbnb owners, which was a positive sign of the amazing experience to come.
Nestled behind an adorable red home on a cul-de-sac in Southeast Portland, this Urban Cottage is a treasure among Airbnb rentals in PDX.
After eight hours of air travel, a three-hour time change, two flights, and one rental car drive through an unfamiliar area (though I do have to give PDX drivers props for being incredibly patient with this out-of-towner), I arrived at my Airbnb exhausted and in desperate need of a break.
The owners of this Airbnb are Superhosts, which is a designation awarded to hosts that go "above and beyond" to provide excellent hospitality for their guests. Hosts can qualify for Superhost status regardless of the type of property they rent out, such as a single room or a mansion.
The Urban Cottage's Superhosts truly lived up to this esteemed title. From texting me ahead of time asking when I'd be in and following up with the door code, area restaurants, and FAQ about some of the attractions I was visiting -- Multnomah Falls, for example, requires a timed use permit via Recreation.gov to moving their car so I could have a coveted driveway spot, the hospitality here was second to none.
Oh, and this rental was spotless -- absolutely the cleanest Airbnb I've ever stayed at. And I'm *very* picky about cleanliness!
I can only compare the hospitality to what you'd get at a B&B, but this was so much better-geared toward my travel needs and wants. This being my 40th birthday weekend, I wanted to disconnect and give myself time and space to enter this new era with joy and gratitude, and the solace and warmth I felt during my stay at the Urban Cottage Airbnb in Portland was perfect.
In addition to a bedroom wherein I had the best sleep of my life and a living space that included lots of natural light (and a skylight!) for gazing out at those tall Oregon pines, "extras" like smart technology, natural soap/detergents, and a high-end washer/dryer (which proved invaluable for washing my clothes after flights *and* hikes) made me feel comfortably at home.
The real pièce de résistance (and admittedly my raison d'être for booking this Portland Airbnb), however, was its titular sauna. Located just outside the door (next to an adorable rock garden), this cedar sauna was EVERYTHING.
Inside, the smell of warm cedar was intoxicating, and the owners' clear instructions made it easy for me to get everything set up. If you're worried about feeling claustrophobic, don't be! The glass door to get in/out of the sauna let in a ton of natural light *and* allowed for gazing out at the beautiful backyard foliage.
This was the most glorious way to decompress after my travels and adventures in Portland and truly, I cannot recommend this Airbnb enough. What a hidden gem!
If you find yourself feeling the pull of PDX (and truly, what a town -- I left part of my heart in Portland), I highly recommend heeding the call of your wanderlust and making this Urban Cottage Airbnb yours for your adventures in Portland, Oregon.

Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway, an adventurous vacation, or a weekend to de-stress and recharge, there's nothing that compares to a cabin getaway in the Beaver State.
