There's so much to say about our experience at the Green Door Cottage. My wife and I had been excited about this trip for sometime and Portland and Sarah and Willie delivered. We were immediately greeted by Sarah as our Uber pulled up to the home. She showed us around the cottage and we exchanged pleasantries and then we met Willie. Both were so sweet that we quickly felt we were visiting old friends. Sarah even had these amazing chocolate chip,peanut butter oatmeal brownie/blondies waiting for us.

They were both excited that we were staying for ten days and that we would have time to do so much. It made us more excited than we already were.

The location is perfect. In a cozy little neighborhood about 15 minute walk to the Alberta arts district which is home to little mom and pop shops and galleries and restaurants such as the Tin Shed, The Big Egg and The Waffle Window. We did brunch VERY often. Always excellent.

The organic super market ,New Seasons, was very easy to get to. About a ten minute walk and Walgreens is right across from it. That turned out to be convenient because my wife was sick our first couple of days there. Sarah and Willy showed there concern and let us know that if we needed anything we could just ask, and that the local urgent care wasn't far. Thankfully it didn't come to that. But it was nice knowing so much was a (very) short bus ride away or a nice walk.

The bed was super comfy, the Netflix was a nice way to relax after a great day of adventuring. We didn't get to use the hot tub but maybe next time. I used the bike once to get to Wal Greens, which was fun but the ride back I broke the bike lock...don't ask. They were nice enough to not make me feel bad at all.

It was hard to leave, especially because our Uber driver failed to show up! But Willie was nice enough to drive us to the airport which is so close. He was even nice enough to turn around when my wife forgot her phone. They were the best hosts, and I only hope they saw as good guests.

There is so much more I could say about our stay and our hosts. But end saying just stay here. You will not regret it.
