Woodstock cottage

Wanted to explore the Woodstock area more this time. I am happy I did. Clean cozy cottage within walking distance of a plethora of dining establishments. If you are celiac/gluten-free, you are within close driving distance of many dedicated establishments, some of the closest being the fantastic Portland Fish Market (window) and New Cascadia Bakery. Clean cottage, clean towels, kitchen, plenty of hot water. Early easy check-in. The owner came by to personally welcome me.

Christmas Cottage

My husband and I were in Portland to share Christmas with our son and his family. The Cottage was very convenient to his house and to Woodstock (one of our favorite streets). The Cottage was a perfect comfortable gem. Nicely appointed - thoughtful design of a small space.

Great little cottage!

15 minutes from the airport, 20 minutes from downtown, quiet, adorable neighborhood, great hostess. The stairway is a little awkward with the downstairs bedroom and the upstairs beds weren’t super comfortable, but were adequate. Comfortable space, would rent again

SE PDX gem

Patricia was a wonderful hostess. Her cottage is charming, super clean, and very conveniently located. She gave us great tips on restaurants and nearby gardens and even dropped shower gel for us mid-stay. Very handy to have washer/dryer access for a longer stay. Highly recommend.

Goldilocks cottage

Just like the story of the three bears, Patricia's cottage was not too small, not too big, it was just right! Our family of three truly enjoyed our stay. The cottage had everything we needed to enjoy Portland and its surrounds. After long days hiking, we enjoyed relaxing on the front porch area with a drink before getting into the comfortable beds where we slept soundly. The neighborhood felt safe and quiet and we were able to enjoy restaurants close by (Recommend PDX Thai). I wouldn't hesitate to rent this space again if we find ourselves back in PDX.

Great location in SE Portland

Great location in the Woodstock neighborhood. Cottage is small but serviceable for two. Staircase is in an odd location, otherwise the bed was comfortable. Shower is small. There was a slight hiccup getting into property but after that there was very good communication with the owner.

Everything was just perfect! My daughter needed a place to stay for a few weeks while moving to Portland. I found this lovely place on vrbo....the owner was a pleasure to work with....and my daughter made a good friend! Can't wait to meet her in person when I fly out to visit...and if it's available, I'll stay here!😘

Great way to enjoy Woodstock

We came to Portland to spend the weekend with friends who live in Woodstock and this location was perfect. It was a 5 min walk to our friend’s house and a 5 minute walk to Woodstock. Check in was a breeze and communication with the host was easy. The cottage was very clean and well stocked. We didn’t really need to cook, but there was definitely all the needed items if we did. Overall the space was fantastic for the 2 of us. I truly would give it 10 out of 10 except there is a very strange staircase right in the middle of the unit up to the loft that you have to maneuver around to get in the bedroom. We didn’t need the loft space, so would be perfect if the staircase somehow folded up. This would not deter us from staying again, but someone much taller or older may have more difficulty. I definitely recommend checking out the Woodstock neighborhood!

Clean and comfortable

I stayed at this lovely cottage for 2 weeks. This location has great access to downtown, many college's, great neighborhoods, while still being in a quiet area with easy on street parking. For some guests, the staircase may be an inconvenience. But, I was able to maneuver around it easily. I loved that this cottage had everything I needed. I like to think of it as a tiny house on steriods, with all the convenience of a larger home. Gas stove, dishwasher, small washer and dryer, and an open living room. Patricia, was wonderful! Very easy to communicate with and a very quiet neighbor. Should I need to stay for extended times in PDX area, I wouldnt hesitate trying to book this spot again.

About the host

Hosted by Patricia L. Nardone

Host profile image
I am a registered nurse consultant at one of our large integrated health systems in Portland. I travel from Salem to Northeast Portland during the day. I am a partner in a small start up company, Tracefind, offering innovative and safe technical solutions to problems in surgical healthcare settings. I received my BSN and MS in Nursing from Augsburg College and the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis MN and my PhD in Human Science at Saybrook University in San Francisco CA.

Why they chose this property

I've been living in Portland since 1998. I purchased the property I live in and rent in 2000. In 2015, I decided to take advantage of the City of Portland's offer to reduce permit fees so that owners could build additional living structures on their property. The purpose was to "densify urban living space. Construction was completed in spring of 2016. I tore down my old 1930's garage to build a cottage adjacent to my corner lot home.

What makes this property unique

I love living in Southeast Portland. I'm close to everything and my neighborhood is full of people of all ages, including young families, working adults and retirees. I am within walking distance to Woodstock village, Reed College Canyon and a lovely new yoga studio I frequent.
