Portland Perfect
This was my second time staying at the eco-cottage and it was great! The cottage is beautifully constructed and a perfect place for 1 adult as well as a 16 year old experiencing the big city for the first time. Easy walk to Hawthorne Street where a lot is happening, and quick trip into downtown Portland for sightseeing and work meetings. Bonus - we had an electric car rental and needed to charge up overnight which we were able to do at the location as the property owner has their own electric car - I was very grateful to be able to use it. Thank you!

Great bungalow in a great location
My wife and I and 17 year old had a great stay. Hosts were very welcoming and responsive to minor issues (light bulbs out and missing kitchen utensil). I would stay here again.

Best rental
My daughter and I had a wonderful stay here while we moved her back into her dorm. Lots of room for the two of us. Everything is so new, fresh and clean in the cottage. Super comfortable beds. Convenient laundry (not huge machines but very capable). We met one of the owners and their cute dog. Communication with owner was very easy and quick prior to booking and through out our stay. We always found parking right in front or close by. The location is AMAZING. So many restaurants and shops nearby within walking distance. Will definitely rebook the next time we need to stay in Portland. *Notes about the accessibility of walkway are accurate. We were able to lug large duffels and boxes from the car without incident. Though, if you have mobility issues this might be a concern.

About the host

Hosted by Dan Kent

Host profile image
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.
