We loved our stay here! The cottage is so clean and welcoming. The bedroom is very comfortable with good quality linens, mattress, and pillows. We met Jeff and he is super friendly and had great suggestions on things to do around Portland. The hosts were also very flexible with check in as well as check out because we ran into some issues so we appreciated the accomodation! We may move to Portland and may plan another trip to check it out more so we would stay here again! Thank you!

This place was beautiful. It was the perfect size. It had everything you could think of, perfect location. The owner was amazing, and great communication. The rosemary bush and the smell was fantastic! The beautiful hydrangeas out front made it even more welcoming. We will definitely be staying here again if we ever come back to Portland!

My dad and I were in town house hunting for my family and we really enjoyed our stay, the place is very clean and self sufficient with everything you could need. We were impressed that it was a two bathroom as well, one on each floor which is perfect for two people who want their own space at night. The pull out couch is quite comfortable for what it is and extra bedding was nice. Good location, right in the middle of lots of things which made it a good home base. The hosts are very kind and responsive if you need them as well. Would highly recommend and we would stay again :)

Comfortable, bright, airy Portland oasis! My brother and I stayed four nights in this delightful, well-thought out property. Satish and Jeff are gracious, informative and helpful hosts, and the care they show their VRBO travelers is reflected in the unit. The property is immaculate; the inclusion of on-site laundry facilities, splitter air conditioning in 2nd floor master bedroom, ceiling fans, internal circulation system and an abundance of windows and lights made our stay one of the most pleasant and restorative I have ever experienced. The provision of a full bathroom upstairs and a half-bath off the kitchen make this property efficient and accommodating for two travelers. On-street parking in the charming neighborhood is not a problem; we had a full-size pickup truck for our stay and could always find a spot to park on the street within the block. An outstanding gem in the City of Roses!

Fantastic hosts

We had a short stay at this property, but it was in a great location. It was close to a lot of things we wanted to do. The hosts are very responsive which was much appreciated. We got in early in the morning- had a little trouble accessing the property (user error), but the host called right away and helped us. I would absolutely stay here again. They also had all the necessities there which was fabulous. And the property itself is very well maintained. I would give more stars if I could.

Fabulous cottage

Immaculate and stylish, very comfortable and quiet, you have to look hard to find anything to fault about the experience of staying at the cottage. We felt very welcome and had everything we needed. It’s one of the most pristine units we have ever stayed in. Our son slept on the couch bed and said it was the most comfortable he’s ever slept on. We were only there 2 nights but would have happily stayed longer. There is no table so we all ate along the breakfast bar. The kitchen is compact but equipped well enough for making simple meals.

The place is laid out perfectly for a couple. The couch with fireplace is a cozy spot to curl up after a long day of exploring the city. The bed is comfortable and the bathtub is a place to let all your stress melt away. The little kitchen is very functional and has e Ruthie to prepare simple meals. Jeff was incredibly kind and thoughtful. We chatted a couple times as we were coming and going and he was on his front porch. We will definitely be back.

Lovely Relaxing Neighborhood

My husband and I found this Vrbo to be perfect for our quick weekend stay in Portland. There was lots to access within walking distance, including a train station which allowed us to access downtown much more affordably. The space was clean and perfectly sized for the two of us. The skylights in particular were really lovely! We absolutely plan to come back to this location on our next Portland trip!
