Shanna's cottage was perfect for our short get-away to Portland. With its own entrance and the privacy the place provided, we felt like we had our own mini apartment in Portland. Shanna has provided all necessary amenities including a great kitchenette with just what we needed to prepare a few breakfasts and a few snacks, and an excellent assortment of magazines, maps and guides that were a huge help to us in exploring the city. Shanna's hospitality was felt through all her helpful notes and instructions throughout the cottage and in the care she has obviously taken to set up a comfortable and well equipped guest house. The neighborhood is in a really great location. We had two great dinners on Mississippi and one on Alberta (both a 5-7 minute drive from the house). Overall, I would highly recommend the Doolittle Cottage!
