The "cottage/second house" was perfect for us. The little outside patio was excellent for the warm evenings the first part of the week. The cottage is virtually in the middle of a round trip two mile walk-whether it be in the morning or evening, I felt very safe. The amenities throughout were very much appreciated(kitchen stuff, coffee, tea, soap/shampoo, dishes, wine glasses etc...). The "welcoming bottle" of Chardonnay was a very nice touch! The wi-fi worked without a hitch. When our car battery died, Jodi offered her car so that we could get a jump. On top of that, she saved us a trip to the State Liq. Store for a bottle of tequila as she had a virtually full bottle because she never drinks the stuff! Thank you Jodi! What we were both amazed with were the pillows and especially the bed in the bedroom. Some type of "memory foam mattress" I think. We need to know the brand because we may end up buying one. Yes, it was that good!!! All in all, it was a wonderful 5 days and we look forward to it being available on our next trip up to Portland.
