    We loved our time here. We did-not do the mansion tour as it was closed on Sundays, but it costs around 15$ per person. Parking is around 2$ per hour. We wandered around the mansion and then went to the viewpoint which was amazing. The best view of Portland in my opinion. There are a few benches bear the viewpoint to sit and have a meal while enjoying the view. The flowers around the mansion was pretty as well. There are trails in this area as well if youre into that.

    Great sunrise and sunset spot, or place for clandestine (or aboveboard) meetings. Bring a snack. If you’re interested in meeting the Portland photography hobbyist community, come at sunrise on a lightly cloudy day.

    What a fun little location just outside of the city! A beautiful house and a great bit of information regarding the history of the area. If you're looking for something to do, definitely stop by. My family loved this place.

    What a great place for photos, went there for blue hour in the morning and evening. Much safer than trying to photograph by the river.

    Nice place to visit to get a cool view of the city. The sky wasn't too clear when we went, so something to keep in mind for the view with the lookout point, which is the main attraction here. Didn't go inside the mansion.

    If you enjoy learning the history of Portland, Oregon, come here. What I love about Portland is regardless of the homelessness and drug use, that there is a sense of community connection. At one point back in the day, a man and a society of people wanted to make Portland a bustling city. The Pittock family has a rich and vivid backstory and you would never have guessed that Mr. Pittock was the publisher of The Oregonian newspaper. The family had such a passion for architecture, agriculture, nature, and art of all aspects…I think you should come check this place out if you have some time to yourself, you will find yourself being immersed in its substantial antiquity.

    The viewpoint is free but to tour inside, you will have to buy tickets. It's a very beautiful walk around the mansion. The viewpoint can see Portland city and Mt. Hood on a nice clear day! We went when it was cloudy and we were able to see everything!

    Was told by a local to check out the views from here, and the weather happened to be very nice, so we took the short drive to visit and were very happy we did. You can just enjoy the views from outside the mansion, which are definitely worth the trip and you only pay for parking, but we decided to check out the inside as well on their self-guided tour (I think was around $15/person). It was definitely worth it as we both enjoyed seeing the inside rooms and reading the information about the house on this self-paced tour. Also, some of the views out of the windows were just amazing.

    A wonderful viewpoint over Portland with the beautiful Pittock Mansion in the background. We were here mid rainstorm and as you can see still got a pretty good view despite the rain. Worth the short drive!

    Absolutely gorgeous inside and out! So beautifully restored and decorated, set in a picturesque landscape overlooking the city. Well worth the cost of admission (plus parking). We were there in mid November, no line, no waiting, self guided tour. It took my husband and I a little over 2 hours to see everything inside and out. I wish we had gotten to see it decorated for Christmas, but it was fabulous on its own! Many pieces from the Pittock family are in the home. It was nice and warm inside, which was a pleasant surprise for us, being from AZ. 😊

    Beautiful historic mansion & grounds. Guides are unobtrusive but there to answer questions & add to your experience. Original elevator provides ADA access to all floors open to public & accessible entrance is the loop the public uses to tour the grounds & exit but isn't short so recommend party all use the same entrance or there will be a wait. Beautiful views of downtown Portland.

    Beautiful walk around the grounds of the mansion. (We did not go inside) many different species of trees and bushes and a breathtaking view of Portland

  • 5/5 Rick M. 2 years ago on Google
    Love the views. Even if the Mansion is closed it's a great view of the city looking east at Mt Hood.

  • 5/5 Eddy R. 2 years ago on Google
    We hiked up to the mansion. It was an easy hike with a good amount of switch backs. Once we got to the mansion we were lucky to see an amazing view of city and mountain as the background. We were fortunate to see everything on a clear sunny day. Would definitely recommend for an easy half day trip.

    Beautiful historic mansion with a peculiar past and overall mysterious reason for its existence. Neat way to learn more about the history of Portland. I would certainty again. Definitely worth the visit if in the Portland area.

  • 5/5 John P. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic viewpoint over Portland, especially on a clear day. Only need to pay for parking unless you want to enter the house. Also a beautiful exterior to the house for some good pics.
