John and Fran truly know how to make 2 East-Coasters feel at home! This little cottage was so incredibly cute, comfortable, and the perfect space to come home to after exploring Portland and all its offerings for 3 straight days.
For the size and space, John and Fran truly thought of everything. Coffee, a French press, stove, fridge, etc. This cottage has it all!!
Location was AMAZING! The town of Hawthorne has a ton of stuff but is also SO close to downtown Portland. We took public transit 2 of the 3 days. $5 for an all day bus pass that included the street car and the MAX. You can't go wrong and John and Frans place is less than 4 blocks from multiple bus stops. On the 3rd day, we picked up our rental car and hit the falls (Multnomah being about 25mins from Cedar Cottage.)
It's the perfect location. Truly.
We didn't have much interaction with John and Fran. We checked in promptly at 3 and were greeted by John and their dog, a true sweetheart. John gave us great dinner recommendations (since we were starving after travelling since 4:30am). We dropped off our stuff and walked up the street to Por Que No Tacos. We went there twice because we loved it so much! Highly recommend it. (Don't let the lines in Portland fool you. They move quickly!)
Come to Portland and stay here! You WONT be disappointed! We'd stay here again in a heartbeat!
Thank you so much John and Fran!
