A Week Among the Flowers

This is a fabulous property. Two things stand out: the peaceful, beautiful garden setting and the cleanliness of the cottage. Diane and Charlie were always available to assist if we needed it. However, we never really needed anything because it was perfect.

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, cozy property!

I almost don't want to give this home such a glowing review because I want to come back. I was in town for a week visiting my partner and it was the perfect place for us to have some quiet time together. The owner's were great -- respectful of our space but also friendly. The house is beautiful and comfortable. Couldn't be happier!

We enjoyed the quiet and garden-like setting of this space. The kitchen is fully equiped for cooking and baking, the bedroom and bathroom were comfortable, and the high ceilings gave it a spacious feel. Being able to walk to Mt Tabor Park was also a highlight, and we also liked the available street parking, the washer/drier unit, the AC unit, the easy check-out, and the sounds of squirrels playing on the roof. We slept well on the queen bed in the one bedroom and our teenage son slept well on the livingroom couch that folds down to a bed. Our other teenage son slept on the floor atop a foldable mattress that Diane loaned us - thank you! Note that this unit is not a stand-alone structure, but rather an addition attached to the back of the house that is occupied by the property owners.

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.
