Convenient Location, Great Hosts!

We appreciated the ability to pop in and out with such a convenient location to explore Portland. There are eclectic details throughout, and the hosts have thought of all amenities you might need for your stay. The garden just outside the cottage door is lush and peaceful. The accommodations were perfect- like a home away from home.

serene garden cottage

We loved this property. The backyard garden setting was very serene. The cottage was comfortable, very well decorated and appointed (even many spices, coffee, tea, baggies, etc etc.) and good lighting and wifi. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. The hot tub was especially nice after long days hiking. Highly recommend.

Wonderful cottage

This was a beautiful property and courtyard with all that I needed and lots of peace. I did not realize that the property is connected to the owners home rather than a standalone. This did not seem to make a difference because it was a very quiet setting. I hope To stay again

Portland

Very nice interior and garden outside. Responsive hosts. Clean and well stocked with towels and kitchen items. Close to park and restaurants. Main complaint is partially on me: it was advertised as sleeping 4 and I even asked about bed sizes, but, ultimately, its one queen and one double bed were only sufficient for 3, even when two of the 4 of us were children. Listing should say "sleeps 3." Also the cottage is very close to the host house and a lot of curtains will need to be drawn if you want privacy. If you have less than 4 and don't mind host proximity, this is a prime spot!

A Beautiful Guest Cottage

What a wonderful little guest house tucked in the back of a residential abode. As you enter the back yard it is hard not to notice the effort put into making it welcoming and easy to get to. Filled with local flora and complete with Northwest feel of being in outdoors. In fact sitting on the porch it is hard to imagine being so close to residential streets. The inside of the cottage is immaculate and filled with all the touches of home. The only thing I couldn't find was a lint roller. That was it! Literally everything else is right where you would think they would be. Silverware, dishes, pots, pans, nick knack drawer, cleaning supplies, blankets, and much more. The house managers are close at hand, living in the main house. They kept a hands off approach and just let us do our thing. We were able to come and go easily with ample parking on the residential street. This cottage is a wonderful place to stay and gives you the feeling of staying at home. Complete with the laughter and sounds of children playing in the morning. Simply put, we felt comfortable, safe and welcomed. Made for a nice trip. Thank you so much!

About the host

Hosted by Diane Rowley

Charley & Diane have been married 49 years and moved from Montana to Portland 36 years ago where they raised their 3 children. They enjoy welcoming guests from all over the world in the private cottage behind their home, overlooking the garden.

Why they chose this property

The Garden Cottage is a comfortable, clean, light-filled, refuge with a peaceful garden view..... a great place to hang out or come back to after a day of exploring the Portland area, or visiting family. It has everything you need....a home away from home.

What makes this property unique

This location is in a quiet, historic, established neighborhood, and has excellent access to the many amenities of Portland and its surroundings. It is a beautiful short walk to the historic Mt. Tabor Park and easy access to anywhere in the city or hikes in the Colombia Gorge. Only two blocks to a neighborhood coffee shop and restaurant and a few more to the neighborhood theater where you can see a movie for $4 and have a pizza & beer. Lots of restaurants and shops nearby along with city bus stops and MAX light rail access within easy walking distance.
