We THOROUGHLY loved our time at Brent's cottage. This is a place where you feel the serenity and sweet simplicity the moment you step in - the best example of the phrase "everything you need and nothing you don't." The vaulted ceiling and ample windows gave wonderful lighting despite it being set among the maples on a stormy fall day, and the foot-thick walls helped with the sense that this was our lovely little hideaway that we could easily forget was only a few blocks from Hawthorne. Super comfy bedding too - we're used to sleeping on a king and wondered how we'd do on the queen, but both nights we just sunk in a slept like babies. Great shower, everything we needed in the kitchen, and arrangements were very simple to make. Our new favorite in Portland!
