Cedar Cottage is a lovely small guest house behind the owner's house. It was converted from a garage into a very comfortable and warm guest accommodation. The cottage is decorated simply but with very nice touches. There is ample street parking.
The space is a large studio apartment style; one room contains the bed, sitting area with two chairs, dining table, kitchen and TV. There is a small bathroom with a very nice easy to use shower. There is a separate heater in the bathroom as well. The bed was a very comfortable platform bed. Extra blankets were available but we did not need them. The only sink is the kitchen sink so if you don't mind brushing your teeth where you wash dishes its all good. :-) The kitchen is well stocked with utensils. It was very nice to arrive and find half and half in the fridge. The hosts provided coffee, tea and sugar as well. The dishes are all handmade ceramics and are beautiful. The TV has a Roku which has Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime and many other choices. The heater works great and even though it was snowing we barely used it because the the place is well insulated. Not much closet space but it wasn't problem for us.
There is a small private deck to the rear of the cottage.
It is a short walk to Hawthorne Avenue with restaurants, bars, shops and bakeries.
John and Fran are excellent hosts and I highly recommend Cedar Cottage for a great stay in South East Portland.
