This was one of our favorite stays ever! The kitchen was incredibly well-stocked, the space was cozy and comfortable—perfect for my husband and me. The location couldn’t be better: peaceful, beautifully situated for getting around Portland, and just a short stroll to the lovely nearby park. Lill is an exceptional host, and I’ll be hoping this place is available every time we come to Portland.

Great location

The cottage is very nicely furnished and feels quite “homey”. It’s quiet and comfortable, and Lill was a lovely host. Excellent location that is far enough away from the busier parts of Portland, yet an easy walk to the Alberta commercial district and Wilshire Park. Very nice stay!
