FABULOUS PRIVATE COTTAGE IN THE HEART OF PORTLAND MAGIC!At the far quiet end of a spacious STONE PATIO, and just steps from ALBERTA STREET and three of Portland's other enchanting neighborhoods, awaits the secluded PATIO COTTAGE.Enjoy peaceful respite and a perfect base for wandering along popular streets with local breweries, shops and vegan eateries or taking a short hop DOWNTOWN or day trip to the Oregon Coast or Columbia Gorge.STEP RIGHT OUT THE DOOR AND YOU'RE THERE!

The space

When you open the large gate leading to this super cute luxe cottage, you'll at once be ushered into a completely secluded spacious patio with natural landscaping where you can enjoy morning coffee, dining outdoors or an evening by the fire pit.

French doors invite you to step into the cottage and make yourself at home in a comfy SITTING AREA, a QUEEN BED with a memory foam mattress that guests rave about, sweet KITCHEN, and PRIVATE BATH.

Well-lit, beautifully designed, and decorated with high-end light fixtures and custom furnishings, the Patio Cottage will delight you with how CLEAN, restful, and chock full of thoughtful touches it is. BRIGHT relaxing colors and my ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPHY of the area adorn the walls of this creative space that I personally designed for your comfort.

VAULTED CEILING, CUSTOM WOODWORK, and NATURAL STONE FLOORS combine with plenty of windows that bring in the outdoors.

Draw the room-darkening FLOOR LENGTH CURTAINS to enjoy a peaceful and quiet bed in a hidden sanctuary. Luxury ORGANIC cotton bedding will lull you into an amazing night's sleep.

From the COZY LOVESEAT, you can watch the wind stir outside the French glass doors or, in warm weather, through the screen doors. In the fall and winter you can enjoy a rainy afternoon relaxing with a good book and a glass of wine.

OUTSIDE

Sip your morning cup of joe or tea at the COVERED BISTRO TABLE in front of the cottage, and scope out your day's adventures exploring Portland or the many National Parks and scenic areas nearby.

The PATIO TABLE allows you to dine outdoors, and the ULTRA COMFY LOUNGE SET and GAS FIRE PIT will seduce you into kicking back and relaxing with drinks. Or you can just close your eyes and WORK ON YOUR TAN.

Picture yourself spending a quiet morning relaxing on the spacious and secluded patio with its garden and Arbor Vitae trees.

EXTRAS

- Other extras include an iron and ironing board, LIGHTED CLOSET with hangers and shelves, a luggage rack, lots of hooks, and AMPLE COUNTERTOP SPACE.

- While this cottage could be counted as a tiny home, it feels like a boutique hotel, and it is roomy enough for a longer stay.

- On the coffee table, you will find TRAVEL BROCHURES and magazines to help you choose from a wide range of activities of interest to visitors and locals alike.

- All this careful attention to detail and your comfort are curated by a warm, WELCOMING HOST!

I look forward to your stay and am available to answer any questions you may have.

VISITORS. It is my pleasure to allow guests to have an appropriate number of friends or family come on to the property to visit, so long as the time of day or night and circumstances permit. And for the safety, security, comfort, and peaceful enjoyment of all guests and neighbors, it is essential that I know that individuals who come on the property are either guests or invited visitors of guests and not someone who has no business being here. Also, so that I can maintain my Portland short-term rental license, I am required by the City to keep the total number of guests and their visitors who are on the property within its set limits. Therefore, visitors other than the above-named booked Guest(s) are permitted onto the Property ONLY after Guests have first checked in with me about it.

Smoking of cannabis is not permitted inside the rental. Vaping of cannabis (in which no smoke is emitted, only vapors) is permitted inside, with the window or door open a crack for ventilation so that the scent doesn't permeate the space. If you are sensitive to cannabis smoke, let me know when you book, and I will make sure that no other guests are smoking it on the property while you are here.

I've lived in Portland for a long time and know the city and region well. I'm an easy-going guy with some world travel under my belt. I'm into natural and sustainable living, culture, and Oregon's countryside and wilderness. While giving you all the space you need, I am friendly and welcoming, and I am happy to guide you to whatever local sightseeing or experience you may be in the mood for. If you are vegetarian, vegan or just curious about or enjoy plant-based cuisine, I have been vegan for longer than I can count and am tuned into the plethora of vegan/plant based shops, restaurants, bars and activities in town and can give you some ideas of where to grab that kind of grub to your heart's delight.

Bicycle Rental
Portland is a city of neighborhoods, and the best way for visitors to explore them is by foot or by bike.
You can rent electric bicycles by the hour anywhere in town where you see the orange BikeTown bike stations. The nearest station is at the corner of NE Going Street and Grand Avenue, at the southwest end of the King Elementary School playground.
But if you want to rent non-electric bikes by the day, the closest bike rental shop is just three blocks away, Everybody’s Bike Rentals and Tours, at the corner of NE Wygant and Garfield. During the winter they are open by appointment and can be reached at 503-358-0152.
There should be a business card of theirs inside the cottage offering a 10 percent discount. Tell them you are staying at the Portland Eco House and that you have this card so that you can get this discount.
NEARBY THINGS TO SEE AND DO
The Portland Eco House is delightfully located within short walking or driving distance from four distinct strips of locally owned shops, art galleries, bars, coffee shops, tea houses, eateries, and live music venues.
One-half block away is lively Alberta Street with its long stretch going all the way from NE Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd to NE 33rd Avenue.
Highlights of Alberta are the super popular, all-vegan Bye and Bye bar — which has some very tasty bowls, the Alberta Street Pub, which hosts live music on its covered patio throughout the year, Radio Room, Wild Thing, Alberta Cooperative Grocery, the home goods store EcoVibe, a selection of clothing stores such as Frock, several art galleries, and the Alberta Rose Theatre, a live music venue.
For breakfast and brunch, many guests have sworn by Carioca Bowls at the corner of 8th Avenue, while the Tin Shed is by far one of the most busy breakfast and brunch spots in Portland, with waits up to an hour or more. Right across from it on 14th Avenue, however, Fuel Cafe has its own tasty breakfast menu and waits are not nearly as long.
Several Mexican spots can be enjoyed on Alberta, a couple of good, authentic holes in the wall included, as well as several Thai eateries.
Outside the Salt and Straw ice cream parlor you can join the long line always there waiting to order a couple scoops.
Basically, just walk up the strip and you’ll find the right food to please your taste buds and get your browsing and shopping in along the way.
One block away from the Portland Eco House is Williams Avenue with its nearly as long a stretch of its own variety of similar offerings.
From the house also it's a short pleasant tree-lined walk to North Albina Avenue, which jogs into Mississippi Avenue, also overflowing with a myriad of locally owned shops, restaurants, and pubs.
A block north of Alberta on N. Albina, Sweedeedee servers homestyle breakfasts and lunch from its counter, garnering rave reviews.
Just to the south, tucked behind the Cherry Sprout Produce market, the tiny Red Fox bar’s covered lawn seating is a hip hangout place.
Back south of Alberta, the Victoria Bar on North Albina is another popular bar that also serves breakfast/brunch and dinner from a generous menu, with lots of vegan options, if you like that.
Killingsworth Street is just a 5-minute, tree-lined walk away, where is situated a strip of more locally owned venues anchored by Jefferson High School, Portland Community College, and a public library branch housed in an historic Carnegie library building.
Next door to the library, in a former funeral home, the Little Chapel of the Chimes restaurant and pub serves basic American grub plus some higher-end plates, along with McMenamin’s craft beers.
The McMenamins are two brothers who own and operate about 80 restaurants, bars and hotels in Oregon and Washington, most of them in old historic buildings that they've renovated and hired teams of artists to adorn them with all kinds of paintings and decorations that tell the properties’ histories, which is what they did with the Little Chapel.
A five-minute drive up on NE 33rd Avenue, one block north of Killingsworth, the Kennedy School, is another treasure restored by the McMenamins, an old Italianate style elementary school, housing inside of it several quirkily decorated restaurants and bars, as well as classrooms converted into hotel rooms, a hot pool that anyone can pay a few bucks an hour to soak in, and a movie theater. It's a trip just going up and down the halls looking at all the amazing artwork and decorations.
Going a few blocks back towards this way on Killingsworth Street at the intersection of 30th Avenue will take you to a cluster of watering holes and eateries, including two Italian restaurants, Dame and Gabbiano’s, the bars Wilder and Expatriate, and the Thai restaurant, Yui. The People’s Yoga studio is also at that intersection, and walk-ins are accepted for all their classes.
On Killingsworth between 16th and 17th Avenues,
North Interstate Avenue intersects Killingsworth going north and south, and there you can stop into the classic Alibi tiki bar as well as an array of other bars and restaurants.
Numerous grocery stores are also situated just a walk or quick drive away.
