My wife and I visited portland for our anniversary weekend, and stayed at the garden cottage. It was perfect! Couldn't have asked for a nicer place, or hosts. We were greeted with a full tour, and explanation of everything about the cottage from Willie, and Sarah provided the baked goods(which were amazing), upon arrival and departure! Super clean, and in a great area. Lots of trendy eateries and close to rental cars, and downtown. More private than you would ever imagine a place in someone's backyard. Perfect design. Highly recommended.
