Charming 3-bedroom house surrounded by old-growth forest, Portland

"Elves Escape." Imagine being in a peaceful forest where deer roam freely—then snapping your fingers and finding yourself just minutes from Portland’s world-famous foodie scene, the zoo, Council Crest, and all the best. It's a serial.

That’s the magic of Elves’ Escape.

It’s not fancy—it’s charming. Built in 1936, this cozy cabin still holds its original soul: creaky wooden floors, vintage windows, and even artistic doorknobs. The kitchen was last remodeled in 1981, so if you’re expecting marble counters and modern upgrades, this may not be your spot. (One bathroom, though, is brand new!)

Some guests won’t give 5 stars unless things are sleek and —and that’s okay.

But if you’re the type who loves character, value, and location, you’ll feel right at home.

If that’s you, welcome. Let the fun begin! A fireplace so big it would not pass code today, a ten thousand dollar pool table, an outdoor fire pit on the huge deck, and you might see deer!
