Lovely Contemporary Studio Cottage
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Kerns
I added this cottage to my existing property to have a more private place for people to stay.
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage
While I didn't purposely seek out this neighborhood when looking to buy a house, it just happened, and I'm so glad it did. Kerns isn't a very well known neighborhood, but it's walking distance to Laurelhurst and Buckman areas, which are better known. Only 4 blocks to NE 28th street, which is a restaurant/cafe mecca in NE Portland. Where can you get Cuban, Mexican, Italian, Mediterranean, New Orleans, Southern, Chinese, Japanese and artisan pizza in one location? Plus the Laurelhurst Movie Theater is a must, only $3.00 to get in and you can buy pizza and beer to eat in the theater. And Laurelhurst Park is a mere 1/2 mile away and is one of the most beautiful parks in the area.
A short walk from the Inn, with beautiful duck pond, picnic areas, tennis and bocce ball courts.
NE 28th Avenue has dozens of wonderful restaurants and cafes, movie theater, artisan pizza, Italian, Mediterranean, Mexican, New Orelans,Wine Bar, etc.
great neighborhood theater, $4.00 admission, food and beer in theater.
Owner's Map of Kerns
I built this small lovely sleeping cottage to add another accommodation to my existing small B & B on the same property. It gives guests a bit more privacy, as well as their own kitchenette, private garden, etc. I moved to Portland from California in 2004, where I ran a craft gallery for 10 years. I opened my inn in Portland in 2006 and have enjoyed meeting people from all over the world. I specialize in women travelers, but have hosted many parents of grown children who live in Portland, folks coming for special events or classes. I enjoy kayaking, bicycling, movies and cooking. I'm a big sister to a little 10 year old girl with big Sisters/Big Brothers.

Had a family wedding to attend in Portland and stayed at the guest house cottage. Charming and MINUS the frills - a comfortable, contemporary, well appointed space and private too. After 3 days the place felt like home. -Denise A.

I stayed here for 5 nights in mid-October, 2009, and was very pleased with the cottage. It was in a great location - grocery store, movie theatre, shopping all within walking distance, plus close to Portland's incredible public transit system. The cottage itself was very well-equipped and comfortable, and having 2 outside spaces was very nice. I recommend it for a couple, or for a single person.

We stayed a week here and found it to be a very relaxing oasis within the city - seclusion with a lovely garden area, 2 patios, sounds of rushing water and birds. The inside of the cottage is also very nice, it has a great location, and the innkeeper is dedicated to giving you the very best service.
