Wonderful!
We so enjoyed the cottage and the host! It is beautiful, spacious and peaceful, located close to restaurants and shops. We liked all that the cottage had to offer to make the stay comfortable, welcoming and convenient. So well equipped, if we hadn’t been visiting family, we might not have left!

Lovely spot in beautiful neighborhood
This is just a great spot. This was our second stay there and we'll be back again next year. Lill is a fantastic host, very thoughtful and generous, even offering to share home-made treats, or figs from her tree. Getting around Portland is easy from this quiet, picturesque neighborhood. 5 stars!

Relaxing stay in lovely location!
This is a well-maintained and beautifully decorated cottage, very comfortable! Restaurants and grocery stores were a short drive away. We very much enjoyed walking in the nearby park. Our host was very gracious and helpful! We hope to stay again in the future!

Wonderful cottage in great area
We came into town to tour colleges for my son’s spring break and this rental was perfect for us. Very accessible from the airport and in a very safe, walkable neighborhood. Great restaurants nearby and all of the amenities you would need for a getaway - full kitchen and laundry are a plus! Lili is a wonderful host - very accessible and onsite in the event of any problems, though our stay was perfect and without any issues with the property. Thanks again for everything!

Alberta Sanctuary
I had a wonderful, peaceful, rejuvenating time. It was the perfect location for me, access to the city, restuarants, shops, grocery store and nearby parks. The kitchen was well stocked. The only thing I would note is that the bed is incredibly SOFT, so be aware if you like a firmer mattress...

Warm and inviting little cottage.
We have rented many homes through the rental services and I must say that Lill is the nicest most accommodating host we have had,. The property is well maintained, it is very nicely decorated, is well stocked and is warm and comfortable. Would definitely stay there again.

Great location
The cottage is very nicely furnished and feels quite “homey”. It’s quiet and comfortable, and Lill was a lovely host. Excellent location that is far enough away from the busier parts of Portland, yet an easy walk to the Alberta commercial district and Wilshire Park. Very nice stay!

Weekend stay at the Zen Cottage
My partner and I loved our stay at Lill’s zen cottage. Lill is an excellent host who was available and quick to answer questions when needed. She was quite helpful and close by, but we accessed the home without meeting her and we never felt our space was imposed upon. The home is well appointed, comfortable, and peaceful. The listing is accurate. The location was great- we were able to get anywhere we wanted to go with ease. Being able to walk to the park was a nice bonus. All in all 10/10, will stay here again when next in Portland!

Perfect Place to Stay!
We stayed for a week at Lill's cottage and it was a fantastic experience! Everything you need to be comfortable away from home: comfortable bed, nicely appointed decor and plenty of space! Walking distance to parks and two shopping / restaurant areas. Lill was a amazing host, we highly recommend her cottage!

Wilshire Park Gem
We spent 2 weeks at this ideally situated property in late October. Inside is clean, modern, tastefully furnished and accessorized with so many extras to meet every need. The location is almost adjacent to a beautiful park, yet within easy reach of choice restaurants and unique shops. Superior host will make this a memorable stay in Portland.
