The Cozy Cottage is a little gem in a picturesque Portland neighborhood. I was looking for a quiet getaway and this house delivered on all fronts. It was charming, peaceful, and even remained cool in the warm summer months thanks to all the surrounding trees.
Some highlights:
The Neighborhood - There are several pockets of restaurants/bars/cafes/grocery stores all within walking distance from the house. I was able to work from home, as well as take my computer to work from one of the local coffee shops. You must get 50 Licks Ice Cream just down the street! You'd have access to everything you need, even without a car.
The Porch - There is nothing quite like sitting in a rocking chair to enjoy your morning coffee/tea or wine at the end of the day. The front porch is private, yet still allows you to feel connected to the community.
Downstairs Bedroom - A king bed in a very comfortable room with a window AC unit. You are able to see trees out of each window, which adds to the overall feeling of having your own private slice of nature.
