This ended up being the ideal location for our extended weekend stay in Portland to celebrate our anniversary. The cottage itself is wonderfully appointed. I like to leave balanced reviews, but to be honest - it was difficult to find any negatives with this wonderful location.
The cottage has all the comforts of home - including a washer and dryer. The kitchen had everything we needed. The bed was so very comfortable and I slept so well - I think I'm going to need to upgrade to a similar bed at home! During downtime, we watched the television in the living room which included a variety of options like local television, Netflix, Amazon, etc.
This is quite literally the perfect location to explore Portland. Just off Mississippi which has a treasure trove of amazing shops, coffee, and exceptional restaurants - not to mention the bus to the center of Portland stops just blocks away.
We had a blast exploring the Mississippi district, but we also took the bus downtown to explore. We had our car, but with the great transit system in Portland - we didn't need to drive anywhere while staying here. In fact, the bus took us directly to and from a concert at Moda Center.
While we didn't get a chance to meet our gracious hosts, it was comforting to know they were right next door in their beautiful house. They checked in to ensure everything was perfect for us and to make certain we didn't need anything.
To summarize, we've found the perfect place to say while in Portland. Although I have a feeling one may need to book well in advance as this place is going to continue to have an exceptional reputation...
