We decided to take a week to explore Portland while our grade-school-age son was on spring break this year. This detached unit was the perfect spot for that -- it's just as beautiful, quiet, and comfortable as the pictures indicate. And unlike a lot of similar rentals, it doesn't feel cookie-cutter at all -- you can see the attention to detail and homey touches throughout. The neighborhood is a charmer for sure, and it left us feeling like we could choose our own adventure every day -- either exploring this corner of SE Portland, taking the bus into Portland proper, or picking up a Zipcar to range farther afield for day trips. We would happily stay here again!

This was my second time staying at the eco-cottage and it was great! The cottage is beautifully constructed and a perfect place for 1 adult as well as a 16 year old experiencing the big city for the first time. Easy walk to Hawthorne Street where a lot is happening, and quick trip into downtown Portland for sightseeing and work meetings. Bonus - we had an electric car rental and needed to charge up overnight which we were able to do at the location as the property owner has their own electric car - I was very grateful to be able to use it. Thank you!

My wife and I and 17 year old had a great stay. Hosts were very welcoming and responsive to minor issues (light bulbs out and missing kitchen utensil). I would stay here again.

My parents stayed in this unit over a weekend and found it to be one of the best places they have stayed. Well done and clean. We will rent this house again!

My daughter and I had a wonderful stay here while we moved her back into her dorm. Lots of room for the two of us. Everything is so new, fresh and clean in the cottage. Super comfortable beds. Convenient laundry (not huge machines but very capable). We met one of the owners and their cute dog. Communication with owner was very easy and quick prior to booking and through out our stay. We always found parking right in front or close by. The location is AMAZING. So many restaurants and shops nearby within walking distance. Will definitely rebook the next time we need to stay in Portland. *Notes about the accessibility of walkway are accurate. We were able to lug large duffels and boxes from the car without incident. Though, if you have mobility issues this might be a concern.

The home is so comfortable and has everything you need to feel at home away from home. The neighborhood is gorgeous and walkable to many restaurants and other attractions. Dan was responsive and accommodating. We highly recommend a visit here!

Just perfect for what we wanted, getting together with NY son and his partner. Ductless AC i n each room, and a large kitchen, living area with windows in 4 directions downstairs. Comfy couch, and a dining table seating 6. We never really used the kitchen since the neighborhood has a lot of excellent restaurants, most with delivery service. The only down side was parking, but we always found spots within a short distance, and the owner let us use his driveway for loading and unloading, and once over night.

Wonderful property, sweet and available hosts, very comfortably appointed home, fun, but still quiet neighborhood and absolutely gorgeous construction. One note to anyone with mobility needs and/or multiple, heavy suitcases, the path to the entrance isn’t solid. It’s not far though and for us, absolutely worth the extra couple trips at the beginning and end of our stay. Looking forward to staying here next time we’re in town and highly recommend!
