We loved this cottage on a quiet, charming street that's just a three-minute walk from the Hawthorne restaurant/food truck scene. Cynthia and Jim had extra fans in place to handle a record-breaking heat-wave. Their whimsical garden matched the artsy Portland vibe, and the recently built cottage was spotless without feeling at all sterile. Note: There's a park/playground just over the back fence; we enjoyed hearing children frolic but don't stay here in summer if that sort of thing really bugs you. Otherwise, this place is the perfect Portland perch.
