  Gorgeous views of Portland. The tour was exquisitely interesting, you learn a lot about the family that lived there and the lifestyle they had as a wealthy family in the founding days of the city. The prestige of that time is unprecedented. The decor, the architecture and grandeur is seemingly quite rare at this type of scale, I loved it. The grounds are also neatly kept with flowers and greenery with a bench overlooking the skyline. On a sunny day the valley extends out to hills and the famous Mt. Hood. I recommend to go in Spring or Fall when you get colors abound wether be autumn leaves or delicate flowers, it’s definitely eye candy. The picture I attached was in Summer, and the sky had trace amounts of haze and clouds, however the sight was extremely beautiful anyway. Take the road up here and you’ll never be disappointed.

  The best views of Portland can be seen at this location. The best part is you don’t even have to pay to go to the grounds. Come here for the views on a clear sunny day or you won’t see Mt Hood. Bring your family and go hike around the trails. If you want to read about Portland history, it’s $10 to go inside to view. There are stories about the family that lived there and has pictures of the city when it first started. There were floods and fires and you can see how people lived in the early 1900s. A very cool experience!

  Pretty gorgeous views of Portland and the surrounding landscape on a clear day...only a short jaunt up the hill from downtown or neighboring suburbs and well worth the visit. Even if you don't pay to go inside the mansion for some intriguing history, visiting the grounds is enjoyable enough. Parking nearby on site in two lots, free surprisingly. Beautiful place to take visiting friends/family or to just go check out yourself! Best, ~S

  Love this place. The mansion was impressive. Interesting to see the modern conveniences that this place had at the time it was built. Loved the grand staircase. The view of the city is magnificent. We saw people just checking out the grounds and not bothering to pay to see the mansion. The ground keeper 's residence had narrow stairs so we were glad to have visited this place during slow season. Even if one doesn't go inside the mansion and the grounds keepers residence this place is worth checking out .

  Easy to find with signs guiding you to the top whether you hike or drive it. I especially like the fun/random facts along the side driving to the top. Nice sized parking lot with an additional lot for busier times. I unfortunately did not go into the house, you have to pay a fee to get in the house but you can still walk around the property and check out the amazing view of the city. Definitely a must if visiting Portland!
