Really nice place and surprisingly quiet for the location. Perfect for 3-4 adults and so easy. We loved the proximity to really great food and shops as well as the ease of getting downtown or out of town
The cottage was beautifully designed and spotless. Our host was easy to communicate with. Parking could be an issue on busy week end nights.We throughly enjoyed our stay .
Our stay was great! We love the location. Very walkable and quiet. The cottage is well built and clean. Dan was friendly and responsive with communication. Looking forward to staying here again!
This property was a wonderful stay for my family. The neighborhood was quiet and in walking distance to a park. The host was timely with communication and provided all information needed for an enjoyable stay. It was easy to access areas of Portland we wanted to visit for meals, activities nearby.
The cottage was very comfortable and beautiful. Great neighborhood, lots of restaurants and bars within walking distance, and a nice park too. I would definitely stay here again.
My wife and I and 17 year old had a great stay. Hosts were very welcoming and responsive to minor issues (light bulbs out and missing kitchen utensil). I would stay here again.
Loved this place - location for walking to food, green space and exploring neighborhood was perfect for us! Also used as home base for trips to coast, e bike tour and Columbia river gorge. Quiet, comfy and relaxing!
The home is so comfortable and has everything you need to feel at home away from home. The neighborhood is gorgeous and walkable to many restaurants and other attractions. Dan was responsive and accommodating. We highly recommend a visit here!

About the host
Hosted by Dan Kent
We're a Portland family with three kids and two dogs. Dan runs a West Coast environmental nonprofit and Tami is a physical therapist, founder of an alternative health care practice, and an author. The kids are 19, 16, and 12. As for the dogs, Moka is a 8-year-old German shepherd and Timber (go Timbers!) is a 5-year-old French bulldog. The dogs reside entirely in the main house but you may catch a glimpse of Timber in the backyard.
Why they chose this property
After nearly twenty years of living just a few blocks awayon this same street, we were inspired to buy and restore the main 1907 house a few years ago with the intention to also build the eco cottage as a quiet urban retreat for friends, family, and our VRBO guests. The cottage was in construction for more than a year and was completed in December 2017.
What makes this property unique
We've restored several vintage houses and we brought all of that experience to this first new construction project with the goal of maximizing the ecological sustainability of the project and ensuring exceptional beauty of materials, natural light, and indoor air quality for our guests.
