About this cottage rental

Charming private guest cottage at the back of a beautiful property in the fantastic Oakdale neighborhood of Portland. Open concept family room, kitchen & dining bar downstairs w/ large loft bedroom/office upstairs. Outside, there’s a nice deck and private patio with a 4-person hot tub! Spacious upstairs loft has a queen bed, office nook, comfy futon sofa & workout bike. Easily sleeps 4 with extra sleeping space downstairs. The cottage Includes an in-unit washer/dryer, AC/heater, dishwasher, and well-stocked kitchen - plus free onsite parking!

The full cottage is yours to use! The Oakdale neighborhood of downtown Portland is a highly desirable part of the city, known for its charming tree-lined streets and close proximity to downtown Portland and the scenic Back Cove (with its popular loop trail for walking, jogging, or cycling). The cottage location is safe and quiet with easy onsite parking and plenty of nearby shops, cafes and great restaurants. The cottage is loaded with charm, a wonderful space for short or longer-term visits, with an office nook and free Wi-Fi. The spacious upstairs loft provides plenty of room for working out, reading, or spending cozy nights on the comfortable, queen size bed.

Guests will have the entire house to themselves, with no shared walls or bathrooms. The private cottage is detached from the main house (with two friendly long-term tenants), separated by a large courtyard with a fire pit and nice outdoor seating. Outside is a private hot tub area, with outside seating to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or an afternoon glass of wine or cocktail.

The downstairs queen sofabed is super comfortable, with a thick upgraded Tempur-pedic mattress that sleeps two additional adults. (Sleeps like a regular mattress, with no lumps, bars or sags.) There's also a thick modern futon bed upstairs and an additional floor mattress if needed.

We had such a lovely time here. Dave was responsive and helpful- his list of recommendations for Portland is not to be missed! The cottage is adorable and had everything we need. The hot tub was great. Overall it was wonderful!

We stayed in Portland without a car and this was such a great location, we were able to walk to restaurants and the farmer's market. It's close enough to town to get around easily. The cottage is super cute, we enjoyed a rainy night there doing a puzzle. I will say that the bedroom is a bit bright on those long summer days! Bring a sleep mask if you're sensitive. Overall really lovely and we enjoyed our time there.

I was drawn to this for the yard. The lights, fire pit and hot tub were perfect for our family to spend time with each other so we didn't have to go to a bar or restaurant. The inside has almost a little industrial vibe. Great location to the market, coffee, shops etc and easily walk to Back Cove. I would definitely stay here again when back in the area to visit family.

We loved staying at Dave's place. Despite only being one bedroom, there was adequate sleeping space for four adults. The space was thoughtfully designed to maximize the limited square footage and did not feel cramped at all. The neighbors in the main house were quite friendly (especially their dog) and gave some good recommendations for things to do nearby. A nice quiet neighborhood. We did not use the hot tub, but it would have been a great feature in the colder months. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a weekend getaway in beautiful Portland, Maine!

We liked this cosy place near Back Cove. It was the perfect location to see Portland or to go on walks along the cove. The bed is upstairs and we found the sleeping loft very pleasant. The kitchen was well outfitted and everything worked. There’s a small living room (which include a decent guitar and ukelele in playable condition—I enjoyed playing them) with a comfortable couch and a TV, and lots of windows. I thought a lot of attention was given to making this a comfortable space. F.ex upstairs there’s some simple convenient storage space for clothes, a small desk, and an exercise bike. The only minus is that the sleeping loft is upstairs and the bathroom is downstairs. A small inconvenience.

This location is near everything we needed: entertainment, groceries, pharmacy and food. It is close to downtown while maintaining a neighborhood vibe. The apartment is perfect for a couple, although there is sleeping for plenty more. The seating area is comfortable with blankets to cuddle up in on a rainy afternoon. The kitchen and dining area is small but met all of our needs while saving us some money. Nice bathroom with a roomy, stocked shower. The air system kept the temperature comfortable. The upstairs bedroom is spacious with a small desk to work from and an exercise area with some equipment, including yoga mats. The hot tub was a great way to wind down from our daily adventures. We didn’t not have any maintenance concerns, and Dave was quick to respond to any questions we had. Being able to park in the driveway was a nice perk. Nearby trails and downtown Portland kept us busy and made for amazing memories. 5 stars!
