This cottage is a pleasant retreat in a great neighborhood close to Hawthorne St. shopping (Powell's satellite bookstores on Hawthorne, New Seasons market, Harlow vegetarian restaurant, etc.) The cottage is very comfortable, extremely quiet, and beuatiful in its simple elegant design with lots of natural wood, stained concrete floor, etc. Although near the main house, it feels secluded. If you're not into all those perfumed smells of cleaning, air freshener, etc. products in a commercial hotel, you'll like this place for it's eco approach to cleaning, bedding, etc.
