Guest Reviews from the Hawthorne Garden Cottage website.

". . . a key word would be 'clear,' as in transparent or full of light: Chapman has created a Zen-like urban oasis in the middle of the historic Hawthorne district of SE Portland. Her masterful gardening allows a full spectrum view of the changing seasons, from the comfort of a stylish, compact, yet immaculately spacious abode. Not to mention Chapman herself, whose care, kindness, and savvy will help you feel right at home. You won't want to leave. Short-stay dwelling at its finest. Five stars. . ." - Mathias Warner

"I've been required to live in "extended stay" lodgings many times in the past few years and the Hawthorne Garden Cottage is definitely one of the best. It's unique charm, privacy, and close proximity to the vibrant Hawthorne restaurants, theatres, and shops puts it at the top of the list. With it's light, airy ceilings and view of the garden the cottage is truly a retreat in the city. Viewing the full moon through the skylight while lying in bed, sipping coffee with the sound of the rain falling on the roof, listening to my own music on the iPod dock while looking out at the garden... all favorite memories from my stay at the Hawthorne Garden Cottage." - Jodi Eichelberger, New York

"A great alternative to the hustle and bustle of a city center hotel. The layout is functional and the design is aesthetically pleasing. My favorite is the large picture window looking out over an English garden. A great place to stay!" - Joseph Kern

"Quiet, peaceful, zen are the words that come to mind in describing this cottage which was designed with much consideration. Surrounded by trees and lovely houses it is located in a wonderful neighborhood which feels removed, yet is walking distance to shops and restaurants.... That Susan is most welcoming and gracious only adds to the experience." - Katherine McFadden, Berkeley

"As for our stay we had a wonderful time and found the cottage delightful. Taking our infant son worked great and the space was so well designed that it didn't feel cramped at all. We loved how open, airy and bright the space was and we very much enjoyed staying in the Hawthorne district, so close to all those cute shops and restaurants. We didn't take a lot of baby stuff and tried to keep it simple." - Mary, Miguel and Sebastian Saldin, Seattle, Washington

"The Hawthorne Garden Cottage reflects the charming hospitality of it's owner, Susan. It's nestled in the Hawthorne district in easy walking distance of incredible food, shopping, coffee, and other more delicious beverages. My stay was most enjoyable and the living space invites peaceful reflection, exactly what I needed." - Leslie Camacho, Ellis Lab Inc., Bend, Oregon

"The Hawthorne Cottage is a private cozy retreat in an incredible Portland neighborhood. It's walking distance to Hawthorne and Division, both of which have fun restaurants and shops. I cooked some wonderful meals in its little well-equipped kitchen. I slept like a log in the bed and enjoyed looking at the garden from the huge picture window. I hope to return some day when it's warm and I can sit in the garden. The cottage is set back from a very quiet street. It gets lots of natural light during the day and has great lighting at night. It's a perfect Portland home away from home." - Susan Kushnick, New York
