vacation rental description

With an 83 walking score, the Piedmont Cottage is a modern take on the classic mother-in-law unit, which will provide you with a personal touch & economical alternative to staying in a hotel/motel in the city.  Located directly across the street from the Historic Peninsula Park Rose Garden, and minutes to Downtown Portland, this open, light-filled, urban space is fully furnished with everything you need whether you are visiting PDX for a few days or for an extended stay.  We designed the cottage to be a tranquil, meditative, efficient, green friendly environment, which combines both comfort & practicality in its incredible 300 sq footprint.  Though it is technically a studio (one room) the extra 70 square foot sleeping loft, vaulted 14 foot ceilings and private bath combine to make the space feel much larger than it is --- it is also a completely separate & standalone building.  The cottage shares a Zen garden complete with pond & waterfall, lots of bamboo rustling in the breeze, custom rock wall fire pit & fully landscaped yard space.  Perfect for reflecting, bbq’ing, reading, relaxing, happy-houring or whatever your heart desires.

traveler reviews for this portland cottage rental

Loved this place!

AnnaBanana (Moses Lake, Wa USA)
Review submitted: April 7, 2013   Date of arrival: March 15, 2013

Piedmont Cottage was cute, functional, very clean and the perfect place to celebrate my husband's 30th birthday. I wish we could've visited when the roses were blooming, but even the overcast/rainy mid-March weather didn't put a damper on the city's activies. We chose Portland for the breweries. Having the Max (public-transit) walking distance to the cottage made for enjoyable stress-free exploring.

We made use of the kitchen which was one of the selling points of the cottage as we like the option of being able to relax and eat "at home" while traveling. The shower doesn't have the greatest water pressure and the hot water lasts about 15 minutes, but was adequate for us.

Heather and Topher were very laid-back and answered any questions we had. Make sure you try the tandem bicycle and the pink/pickled deviled eggs at Saravesa which is less than a mile from the cottage!

Recommended for: sight seeing, tourists without a car, romantic getaway

Owners response: Thank you so much for the review! And thanks for letting us know about the shower, we'll be sure to fix that right away! My husband is a great plumber so he'll get right on it.

Great having you, hope to see you again sometime & glad the cottage worked out for you,

Cheers, H & T

Way to enhance Portland!

I had a great time staying here. The price was the thing that caught my attention, but the place itself is the thing that will bring me back. I like Portland, but only for a relaxing getaway. This place allowed me to get around the city and come back to a homey place where I could easily cook my own meals and relax comfortably. Definitely a perfect place for a couple or maybe even two couples (as long as you don't plan on spending too much time at the cottage, it's relatively small). Also, Heather and Topher are absolutely wonderful and so hospitable. :) I highly recommend the place!

Heather, Topher, Inigo, Jean Jean & Stella (whom we sadly did not get the pleasure to meet).

Thanks so much for an amazing 1st experienc in Portland -- What an awesome city you live in! The cottage had everything we could possibly need; we were so impressed with its layout & space saving design! We thoroughly enjoyed riding your streets on the tandem & also the little surprises left in the rocks from Jean Jean. I think she finally warmed up to us :) We surely will be visiting Portland again, if not u-hauling it out here to live! If so, we now know some great people who live here.

Take care & keep on enjoying life!
