Perfect little home off Hawthorne

Clean, modern, cozy little home - perfect for a couple that wants to spend a few days enjoying SE Portland. Super easy to get around, quiet. Kitchen has some basics but I would plan on eating out mostly, especially as there are such great restaurants in every direction.

Nice Stay

We really appreciated the availability of street parking in front of the property. It made our coming and going each day convenient. The home was just as pictured and provided us the space we needed.

Wow - perfect in every way

Small but ideal - everything we needed and an unbeatable location. We like walks: and whether it’s a neighborhood stroll or to a destination (deluxe grocery store, excellent restaurants) this was a fantastic home base.

Our go-to place when visiting Portland

We’ve stayed here twice and it’s our favorite place for a weekend in Portland. Centrally located in the Eastside neighborhoods and walking distance to innumerable shops and restaurants, plus several grocery stores. Unit is spacious, with a very well stocked kitchen and 2 full baths. We were able to entertain friends for dinner. Even though it’s an ADU, the layout is private and you feel like you have your own house. Recommended for anyone seeking a Portland getaway.

Great location; European styling

Residential neighborhood, clean and comfortable. Kitchen is great for breakfast and small gatherings. All the basics included. New bathrooms. Comfortable bed. Could use a few more mugs and a lighter weight blanket as an option. Whole house fan vibration takes some getting used to. Would absolutely stay there again.

Okay, but ..

Shower floors are very slippery. Main floor shower control very confusing. Microwave poorly positioned and control panel also confusing.

A++

Could not have asked for more from Natalie (the host), or a property, for that matter. So clean and welcoming; could not have asked for anything more. Simply the best! Would love to stay here again and would recommend any traveler to stay here! Side note: in my research I noticed mention of the light through the upstairs door/ window (which I was concerned about). That has been addressed with a retractable blind; like what is found throughout the house. So, book and relax – it’s all good!

Beautiful Design

We enjoyed our stay at this beautifully designed property. Everything was well appointed and very clean (except for a couple of pots in the kitchen...). The entire place stayed very cool as well. It was in the 80's during our trip, but we couldn't tell as the inside of the property was very comfortable and cool. A couple of things to note: - The area is very dark at night and the property is also dark at the entrance (no outside light at the door). - We only had issues parking one evening, the rest of the time we were able to park in front of the property. - There is a house fan in the upstairs bathroom next to the bedroom that runs constantly, so if you are a light sleeper, this may be an issue. - There is only one small TV downstairs, having one in the upstairs bedroom would have been nice. - Instructions for the Oven and Dishwasher would have been good to have as they are of European design and are not inherently easy to understand. - The washing machine and dryer were awesome and we really appreciated the free & clear laundry detergent!!! As far as communication, Natalie was awesome and very nice to work with. Instantly responded back to me on all things! Overall a great place to stay in Portland!

Charming Place

I stayed here with my girlfriend for three nights, and we were both very comfortable and enjoyed our stay. The house had everything we needed. The location was perfect, being right in the Hawthorne neighborhood, with Fred Meyer, and loads of cafes and restaurants within walking distance. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful Cottage!

We were in Portland for a 10 day trip to visit our son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter. We loved everything about this space and had a great experience! I would highly recommend to any traveler. Natalie was awesome to work with and quickly responded to questions. The cottage was spotless and well appointed. There is a lot of natural light and the whole space felt open, bright and airy. We instantly felt comfortable and at home. The king bed in the upstairs bedroom was super comfortable with plenty of pillows. We unpack when we travel and were delighted to have ample closet space and hangers. There were remote controls upstairs and downstairs that made it super easy to control the temperature. Natalie provided clear instructions in the cottage on how to use them. We loved having the washer/dryer available and it allowed us to pack much lighter than we normally would have. It was just the two of us but it was still really great to have two very nice bathrooms. My husband took the upstairs bathroom and I set myself up in the downstairs bathroom. One of my favorite things about the cottage was the heated bathroom floors. Such a treat! We visited in early November and had some cold and rainy days so we were not outdoors as much as we would have liked but the cottage is in a really great location for walking to restaurants and shops. We rented a car for this trip and had no trouble parking on the street right in front of the house. I worked remotely the second week we were there and the fiber optic high speed internet was reliable and plenty fast. Thanks Natalie! We will definitely stay here again!

This property did not disappoint. Not only was the property of beautiful architecture and design, but the host has done hospitality the right way for renters. The amenities with all the necessities.

Eastern Portland Fall Stay

This rental was perfect for us: walkable neighborhood with many choices for coffee shops, restaurants and access to western Portland as well. The house was clean, we could always find a parking spot right in front and a perfect size for the two of us. Highly recommend this little gem in Portland.

The house was amazing!

My husband and I loved our stay. It was, by far, our best away from home stay. The home was so spacious, well thought out and planned, loved the two walk-in showers, large bedroom, and very large kitchen. Absolutely beautiful home and so many amenities!!
