This cottage was absolutely amazing. We had the best time in Portland with our pup and it was perfect to call Alison's little cottage home for a few days. It's located in such a peaceful & quiet area with some amazing little breakfast places walking distance (15 minutes or so) and a beautiful park which has plenty of space for your pup to get a good romp in to burn some energy. It is also about a mile away from the Nike Factory store which has a bike share station right in front of it - we rented two and rode downtown (about 25 minutes) and spent a few hours riding around checking out some local must sees. It's also about 45 minutes to some beautiful waterfalls and only like 15 minutes to some great hikes in Forest Park near Pittock Mansion. The small extras that Alison offers really was the cherry on the cake. We definitely would love to come back next time we are in Portland.
