The cottage was absolutely perfect, and staying there may have ruined me for all other Airbnbs. Check-in was smooth, and the space was cozy but roomy. Karen was a wonderful host, and there were tons of thoughtful touches: a bottle of wine and chocolates at arrival, flipflops/towels to use when walking down to the hot tub (which was super clean and relaxing), etc. The kitchen had basic spices and coffee/tea, as well as high end cookware. There is even a deep clawfoot tub in the bathroom. It's under 10 minutes to downtown Portland, but you may decide you want to spend your time hanging out at the cottage :) We only wish we had been able to stay longer!
