About the host
Hosted by Lill Madland
I love being a vacation rental host and have had the pleasure of having guests from all over the world! I have been involved in this industry for more than than seven years and given my love of travel, try to create a luxurious accommodation, much like the kind I would enjoy staying in. I believe that people appreciate all the little things that make your stay memorable: a fully equipped kitchen with spices, coffee, teas, and much more. You will find many extras in the bathroom as well. In addition, there will be a welcome bottle of wine to start off your vacation. In the summer you may enjoy organic vegetables from our garden, figs and asian pears.
Why they chose this property
Talk about "location"! Located a block away from Wilshire Park, you are in the heart of NE Portland. This cottage is located in a very quiet residential neighborhood. The Alberta Arts Area is a four block walk away, the Historic Mississippi District in a five minute drive, and downtown is about ten minutes away.
What makes this property unique
This is a renovated cottage with high end finishes. It is a perfect harbor for guests who don’t want to deal with stairs, with accommodations such as wide interior doorways, and a large walk in shower with two
built in seats. We offer free off street parking right at the cottage entrance. Plus we have a powerful A/C system! As a designer for 30 years , I love creating something special: a place that you will fondly remember and want to return to.
