I had the opportunity to spend a whole 2 months at this cottage and let me tell you, I didn't want to leave. I was in Portland for a temporary assignment and needed a spot that could serve as my home away from home. This cottage had good vibes from the time I stepped in. Laura, the host, has made this cottage a cozy escape - bright natural lighting, unique artwork, happy plants, and an incredibly comfortable bed. At one point, I had to ask Laura if the cottage was previously used by the owners because everything you need to live there was available (appliances, etc.). She said no and that it was all her own touches. My property neighbors were also kind and welcoming! Laura herself is a wonderful host - very prompt in responses and will quickly action on your feedback. At one point, I had some water heater issues and she had the owner come in and get it fixed ASAP. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect stay in Portland. The location is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood but a 5 min drive to downtown. Parking was always available and some restaurants were in walking distance! Can't say it enough - loved the cottage.
PS. A few people have mentioned this in reviews but it's worth noting that the walls do not go all the way to the ceiling so you can hear everything. If you plan to come to the cottage with multiple guests, you should be close because bathroom noises are heard loud and clear. :)
