Where to begin. Our stay at Carol and Jim’s cottage was an absolute dream. My husband and I were looking for a place close to doernbecher at ohsu and we were lucky enough to come across Carol and Jims cottage. We knew the reason for our visit to Portland was going to be stressful so we needed a relaxing place to stay and distress and to say the cottage provided that is an understatement. From before we even booked the Airbnb Carol was beyond helpful quickly messaging me and answering every question I had. When the time came to check in she sent clear and detailed instructions that made check in a breeze. We were able to meet Both Carol and Jim who reassured us that if we needed anything at all they were available but also respected our privacy. When we came in to the cottage there were so many personal touches and amenities from the hosts that we were able to get in and decompress. We really appreciated the thorough cottage manual that answered almost every question we had. There were also some snacks and drinks available for us to tide us over until we were able to go to the grocery store. My husband and I had a little issue figuring out the lock to the cabin and Jim didn’t hesitate to come over and give some assistance reinforcing that Jim and Carol are supportive but respectful hosts. The cottage itself is very comfortable. We had access to several steaming services on the tv and the kitchen is very well laid out for maximum efficiency. And who can forget the heated bathroom floors? You never know you can’t live with out something until you experience it. The bed was the perfect amount of firm for me and my husband and the pillows helped us drift to a relaxing sleep.
The Hillsdale neighborhood is definitely a fun one to explore and the cottage manual had so many helpful tips and suggestions for things to do and places to go.
I truly can’t recommend this place enough.
Thanks Carol and Jim.
