Cedar Cottage was a cozy and unique place to call home for our time in Portland! My boyfriend and I arrived to a clean and warm place with lots of amenities (slippers, iphone chargers, soap/shampoo/conditioner, pads/first aid kit for emergencies) all nice touches. I am also the type of person who hates living out of my suitcase on trips so it was great to have a little closet and shelving space to tidy my things away in.
The cottage's location is prefect in my opinion. It's in a quiet family friendly neighborhood but is still really close to the NE 60th Ave MAX station (25/30 minute walk) that will take you into Downtown Portland. There is also a really good amount of little shops and tons of restaurants and bars closer by that only take about 15/20 minutes to walk to. We happened to show up when Portland got an ice storm and about 5 inches of snow so the location turned out to be a life saver; John and Fran even shoveled a walkway to our cottage for us!
One thing I will mention for the picky sleepers out there - my boyfriend and I really like extra soft beds and this bed is more on the firm side. All in all, we loved Cedar Cottage and would be happy to stay again in the future!
