Nice and Comfortable Historic Cottage

My family and I stayed here for a few days before traveling out of state. We enjoyed our time in the cottage and the host was very accommodating! Would stay here again if we are ever in the area.

Cute place to enjoy family time.

Host was awesome to deal with. Comfy place with well equipped kitchen. Enjoyed coffee on the patio surrounded by lovely flowers. Nice place for a dog to stay with the fenced backyard. Sugar ants were an issue in the kitchen and had to toss food out including container of dog food outside. Bring extra fans for the upstairs loft as it was warm but had a fun play area.

What a delightful cottage!

We so enjoyed our stay here. The place was extremely clean and comfortable for three older folks. The decor had so many interesting touches. Would definitely stay here again.

Stay in Vancouver WA

There were 3 adults, we were in the area for a family wedding. The location (proximity to airport and where we needed to travel) was great. The neighborhood was an older residential area. Not far from downtown Vancouver which is a nice town. Close to grocery stores, places to eat. The interior of the house was as posted. It's an older home with charm, especially if you like older homes. The hosts were very responsive. The check in process was easy and we got an earlier check in time. Check out was also a breeze, they did not require any specific clean up. If you don't want to stay in downtown Portland, consider Vancouver WA.

Great Getaway Location

We had a great stay at this location. The house was clean, and comfortable, and it felt like a home away from home. The bedrooms were cozy & having the play room & extra bed in the same room was awesome for our son, and helped him feel comfortable in an unfamiliar location. We appreciated the condiments available also. We would definitely come back!
