Why the Owner Chose Portland
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.
Owner's Map of Portland
I built this small lovely sleeping cottage to add another accommodation to my existing small B & B on the same property. It 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.
