The Alberta Arts Cottage was the best lodging of our 2 weeks travel though OR. This spot goes beyond clean and comfortable. The layout and design...leaning to modern but with the warmth of wood...results in a special place where you can relax and be comfortable...cook a meal, curl up on the coach or visit over a glass of wine. So many more options than a hotel! James & Kyra have done a great job of anticipating their lodgers' needs. We had all the necessities plus more. James was timely with his communications in advance of our travels. And Kyra was quick to respond to our few questions once there. Having a washer & dryer was a real benefit. Enjoyed both the back deck and fire pit. The neighborhood location within walking distance to the numerous restaurants and shops on Alberta, the grocery, and our daughter's home was perfect. Being along a primary bike route minimizes the car traffic and noise; parking was always readily available in front of the cottage. We'd love to stay here again!
