We truly enjoyed this quaint little cottage. Even tho it's in someone's backyard, they have designed it to give their quests such great privacy. It is very bright and cheerfully decorated and very well equipped. It's very spacious for a one room cottage. We really liked the key-code entries vs. having to keep up with a key or two. We're staying again next weekend and will again when visiting Portland. Just down the road from a great coffee house (Space Monkey) and cafe (Arleta Library Bakery Cafe).
