Chrysalis' Cottage is our "go to" home in Portland. It is beautifully maintained and has everything we need. Each time we come, I notice improvements. It's comfy, cozy, and self-contained. Chrysalis and Mark are available when we need help. It's close to our kids who live in Woodstock and the neighbourhood is super cool and fun.

This was a really great place to stay! Great part of town next to great restaurants too.The hosts are the nicest you will find anywhere. We didn’t have enough room in the car for our high chair, so they were kind enough to track one down for us so we didn’t have to! Highly recommended it!

I totally enjoyed my stay at this property. The rental was very clean and the kitchen had every appliance one could possibly need. I stayed 10 days so the washer and dryer were a plus.The property is located in a very walkable neighborhood with plenty of stores and restaurants just blocks away. I would definitely stay here again when visiting my daughter in Portland.

Nice VRBO cottage in backyard of hosts. The cottage is well maintained and stocked with all of the essentials. The hosts are wonderful: friendly, helpful and responsive. My wife and I stay at many SE Portland VRBOs while visiting our grandson and we highly recommended this one.

Well...I had to email her on my way to check in because she never sent me the code. I opened the gate and the yard was overgrown and stuff everywhere. Not a good first impression. The pictures did not show that or I wouldn't have rented it. The keyless box was a little difficult to deal with especially if your hands are full. It's a cute bungalow and very convenient to shops and restaurants but could use a spring cleaning.
