About the host
Hosted by Dan Kent
We're a Portland family with three kids and two dogs. Dan runs a West Coast environmental nonprofit and Tami is a physical therapist, founder of an alternative health care practice, and an author. The kids are 19, 16, and 12. As for the dogs, Moka is a 8-year-old German shepherd and Timber (go Timbers!) is a 5-year-old French bulldog. The dogs reside entirely in the main house but you may catch a glimpse of Timber in the backyard.
Why they chose this property
After nearly twenty years of living just a few blocks awayon this same street, we were inspired to buy and restore the main 1907 house a few years ago with the intention to also build the eco cottage as a quiet urban retreat for friends, family, and our VRBO guests. The cottage was in construction for more than a year and was completed in December 2017.
What makes this property unique
We've restored several vintage houses and we brought all of that experience to this first new construction project with the goal of maximizing the ecological sustainability of the project and ensuring exceptional beauty of materials, natural light, and indoor air quality for our guests.
