Cute, clean cottage but if you are looking for more privacy, I wouldn’t recommend this. Ideal for stopovers.

Yes, I can see why Michael said he wanted more privacy. I stumbled upon him stepping outside to smoke a "pre-roll" (those were his words). I have a policy of no smoking of any substances anywhere on the property, inside or out, so this was an awkward encounter. I was simply making an effort to say hello in person, as I do with most guests, to welcome them and make sure they have what they need. If you read my reviews, most people say the cottage is very private. Definitely might need more privacy to successfully ignore the house rules! 😬

Alane was a lovely guest to host. She communicated well with me about her plans and took great care of the cottage. When she checked out she left the cottage in excellent shape. I would be delighted to host her again and recommend her to other hosts!

Beautiful cottage!!

We have rented several homes over the years that our daughter was at UO and this was by far our favorite! Great for a couple. Beautiful peaceful cottage in an alley with a great garden, comfortable bed and everything we needed!
