My husband and I visited Pittock Mansion in October 2009. This Portland attraction is one of the few that is NOT easily accessible via public transportation (i.e. MAX Light Rail or bus). So a car is necessary, as the hike uphill from the bus-stop is for the cardio adventurous. (We also found the buses to not run on schedule past... more

The other reviewers ahve already said it; this a "must see." Its a place that we felt people could live in now. Views from the grounds are terrific. more

This was one of my most favorite things we did when we visited Portland. I have the good fortune of living not all that far from the historic mansions in Newport, RI and I think this mansion would fit right in, especially in terms of the beautiful grounds and stunning views of Mt. Ranier beyond. From the outside, the mansion... more

I own a small historic hotel built by a pioneering individual and am always looking for other historic places to visit. This glimpse into the lives of the rich and famous of the early 1900s was incredible. The people who owned this beautiful mansion were beautiful people. I loved learning about them as a family and imagining their lives together. more

The home, and the site on which it sits, are well worth a visit. The mansion sits atop a large hill with a 270 degree view of downtown Portland, OR. A trail rimmed with garden beds winds around the mansion and affords great views. The house itself if filled with interesting and unusual architectural details, for example some bent-wood floors... more

If you're building your "Things to do in Portland" list, visiting Pittock Mansion should be one of them. Whether or not you go in for a tour, visit Pittock Mansion to take in the views of the Portland skyline. On a clear day, you will catch a glimpse at all three (3) of the major mountains in the distance. You... more

Architecture fans will love the interiors and exteriors of this 1914 Mansion. From bronzed silver leaf ceilings to ornate door hardware, this building offers many pleasures. Built ins and furnishings fit like a glove. This is one of the best restored and maintained mansions that I have ever been in. It is a joy. Like antique kitchens? It is less... more

I enjoyed my visit but I wish I had booked a tour to really understand the history and details of the Mansion. The architecture is lovely. The plumbing is very interesting. There's marble and beautiful wood. The property also overlooks Portland from high up in the West Hills. The view is phenomenal and they keep the lawn beautifully. I look... more

Loved it!

This house was really beautiful. Often houses like this are ostentatious, but this one was not. It was nicely done, and the views inside and out were stellar. The grounds were very nice, as well. Wished we could have had a guided tour, but otherwise no complaints. Make sure you visit the gate house a little below and next to... more

We drove up to the mansion for sunset. The building itself was closed by then, but still very impressive to see from the grounds. But the real treat for us was the views from the edge of the property. Spectacular views of the Portland skyline from several vantage points, with Mt Hood in the distance. Reminded us of seeing San... more
