Lynn's guest home is everything you could want. Not only is the cottage adorable, with thoughtful touches and comfy beds, but Lynn was so kind and responsive to our needs. I texted Lynn multiple times for some guidance for Portland tips, and her replies were helpful and easy to follow. She loves her city and it shows in how she extends her hospitality to her guests.
The cottage is really in a great location. I knew nothing about Portland when I booked our trip and couldn't have been happier with how easy it was to get to all the things we wanted to get to. We walked to the food trucks nearby on our first night and thoroughly enjoyed our Viking Soul food. Even though we did have a car, on our first full day in Portland we took the 20 bus (stop was 2 doors down) to explore downtown (hopped off on 4th and did a lot of walking), old town, the pearl and Washington Park. The next day we drove to the Japanese gardens which was stunning and honestly well worth the $19 per person price tag. That second day also involved eating delicious Tamales and tasting local brews at Labrewtory. Our third day in Portland was full of food and shops... starting with Crema for coffee, Pok Pok for lunch and the Bit House for happy hour. I am gluten free and so having a full gluten free dedicated kitchen at the Bit House was AMAZING... it's been 10 years since I've had fried calamari! We also went to the Portland Art Museum and strolled around Division and Clinton.
Portland is an amazing city and this is the place to stay!! Thank you Lynn!!
