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.

Well appointed quiet stay

We stayed at this cottage for 13 days. We enjoyed the neighborhood, the fact that it is quiet and the fact that the cottage is well appointed and roomy. The hosts are friendly and went over the top to help us out in a pinch when our car was towed.

Peaceful lodging

This VRBO was a handy place to stay while completing testing at OHSU. We appreciated the well stocked kitchen and the clean environment. When we had some challenges with operating the TV and overhead fan, we were quickly assisted and after new batteries were added, all worker well! A peaceful, private, tidy place to stay!

Clean and quiet

Very nice space, would happily stay there again. Clean, well maintained, comfortable, good kitchen, separate structure away from main house. Only downside is that you are in the back yard, with no view, and to maintain privacy you need to keep the drapes drawn. Owners do a good job of keeping the backyard quiet which is greatly appreciated.

The Woodstock neighborhood

We travelled for a wedding in Aurora and then stayed in the neighborhood of Woodstock for a respite and visit with family. We LOVED the area, the food, and the simple convenience of this VRBO rental. It was just the perfect size for the two of us and the ammenities were as described in the listing. The host was responsive to questions and provided us with excellent suggestions for what to do in and around the neighborhood and Portland area. We would stay here again!

Convenient stay

A very cute little cottage with lovely kitchen and bathroom! I appreciated the peace and quiet too. It was a very convenient for me as my son, whom I was visiting, lives 10 minutes away. Some minor suggestions: 1. The tub and shower were wonderful. Add a dependable grip bar (about 2 or 3 feet long and parallel to the floor at about waist level) to insure no injuries. Add it right under the window. 2. Add more window covering in the kitchen to improve privacy. 3. Add a little more lighting in the living room. Thank you for a lovely stay!

It was fine for a couple or a single or a couple and a child but it was challenging for two 76 year old gentlemen. The one gentleman could not get comfortable in his bed in living room. The toilet ran which bothered my brother. I could not get him to write a review but he told me he liked the location, the fact that he could hear children playing he appreciated the conversations. I would imagine they were not easy on you either. I hate to think I will get a bad review because of their rigidity. Originally, my brother and daughter were going to be there and then plans changed to add his friend instead of my daughter. So It made it more difficult. Sorry.
