Nestled within colorful private gardens in one of Portland's most vibrant neighborhoods, this former live work space of world renowned artist, Flora Bowley, was designed and built from the ground up to be a creative incubator.
Thoughtfully decorated with original artwork, stylish furnishings, lush living plants, and an open-floor living with soaring ceilings, this modern, light-filled creative oasis embodies the perfect blend of contemporary design, artistic energy, and luxurious comfort.
You'll feel the magic the moment you step inside the private garden...
Whether you're working on a creative project, hosting an intimate gathering, or spending precious time with friends or family, this unique space offers a stunning backdrop like no other.
With light-filled windows, plush beds, a heated floor, dedicated art space, outside sauna, and soulful details throughout, this space will inspire, nourish, and delight.
There are three queen-sized beds in the space: One in a private room, one in the upper loft, and one in the main living space. Please note, the loft space and the main living space are not seperated by a full wall, but they are located on two different levels.
Bed #1 (image below on left): Located in a private back bedroom and featuring a comfortable queen-sized bed with high-quality linens, duvet, writing desk, original art, live plants, TV, and french doors leading outside.
Bed #2 (image below on right): Located in the loft of the main space and featuring a queen-sized bed with high-quality linens, duvet, open area for movement, library of inspiring books, original art, live plants, large windows, and abundant sky lights.
Bed #3 (image on left): Located in the main living area and featuring a queen-sized bed with high-quality linens, duvet, heated floors, original art, live plants, large windows, and abundant sky lights. This bed also doubles as a daybed.
A true oasis in the city, you'll be surrounded by lush private gardens, fruit trees, a fire pit with cedar adirondack chairs, and plenty of nooks to gather with friends, your morning coffee, or a journal. Enjoy vibrant birdlife and tall trees in your very own secret garden!
The barrel sauna is easy to use and can accomodate up to four people. The adjacent modern tub can double as a cold plunge or an outside bath under the stars.
Inspired to create?
This space was Flora's personal studio as well as a retreat space, so you're welcome to get paint on the wall and floor in the designated "Art Corner" in the main space. You'll find a large easle, table, and art cart. Additional folding tables are available.
Interested in hosting a gathering?
The space is suitable for two-three painters and up to 12 people for non-painty events such as writing or dry medium art retreats. While there is one painting corner, the space is not set up to accommodate full painting retreats.
Gatherings of up to 12 people are allowed in the space. For each additional person beyond the five who can sleep in the space, an additional $50 per person fee will be added and collected at the time of your stay.
If you're planning to host a gathering, please check in to confirm we can accommodate the type of gathering you'd like to host.
Need more space?
There is an additional Airbnb on the same property which sleeps up to five additional people.
