The Showstopper

Technically, this one is a 20-minute drive from downtown Portland, about 10 miles away, set on Lake Oswego. If you're looking for stunning views of the city and the lake, this home really delivers; it's also been featured in Architectural Digest and was the setting for Harrison Ford's recent movie, Extraordinary Measures. There are four bedrooms and plenty of living space for up to six guests — perfect for a large group who wants to live like kings and queens on the water. Rates from $1,099 per night.
Maximize Your Purchase
There are plenty of ways to maximize your stay with points and miles. If you've never used Airbnb before, sign up through TPG to get $40 off your first booking — and the gravy train doesn't stop there. Book through the Delta portal and earn 1 SkyMile for every dollar spent on your stay, and make sure to charge the purchase to a travel rewards card to rack up extra points. Using a card like the Chase Sapphire Preferred will get you 2x points on all travel purchases while the Chase Sapphire Reserve will get you 3x points on an Airbnb stay. When you combine the two, you're effectively double-dipping with your points earning.
