Tranquil Stay
This is the second time I have stayed at the Patio Cottage and will stay again as it is such a tranquil space to retreat to. Scott is a gracious host! He has information at your fingertips so you know how to conduct your stay as well as a great guide to all things Portland and Portland Area. The location is fantastic as there are great restaurants walking distance from the Patio Cottage. I look forward to my next stay!

Just Perfect
Absolutely perfect stay. Just enough space for me, myself and I for the night and excellent communication. Loved that Scott compiled information not only about the surrounding neighborhoods and things to do, but also in depth history about Portland itself. It was such a lovely read to welcome me into the city and the culture of the city, even though I was not here very long!
Will be back in the future!

Just right
Very clean & cozy cottage that was just right for our needs as a base for the weekend while visiting Portland. It's in a quaint & quiet neighborhood within walking distance to King Farmers Market and many bars/restaurants in NE Portland. We enjoyed walking the neighborhood every morning.
Scott was very responsive to all of our needs, and we were very appreciative of the accommodations at the Portland Eco House. Looking forward to our next visit!
Thank you for hosting us. Your cottage is pretty comfortable, clean, and in a great location.

Perfect Patio Cottage
Excellent location with many attractions within walking distance. Nicely furnished and eco friendly. The three ring binder, that Scott created, was thorough, useful, and informative.
Nice little place but no kitchen to cook in is the only drawback
Beau B.
Stayed 8 nights in May 2024
Response from VrboOwner on 10 June 2024
Hi Beau, I very much appreciate your 5-star review of your stay in the cottage. I am puzzled why you say that it doesn't have a kitchen, however.
The cottage most definitely does have a kitchen, with its large sink and counters, inductive cooktop ready in the lower cabinet to pull out, plug in and use, pots and pans, cooking knives, full fridge and freezer, microwave oven, toaster oven, French coffee press, blender, cutting boards and other kitchen tools of all kinds.
I always ask my guests to let me know during their stays if they need anything or if anything at all seems to be missing or not working. That way, I can address their needs while they're here. If I find out only out after they leave that they were confused or unsure about something, or needed me to fix something, I cannot be of any help.
Thank you again for your review and also for being such a great guest!
Everything here was amazing! Checking in and out was no problem. The house was adorable and had everything we could ever want or need. The neighborhood was nice and easy to get around. We will definitely stay here again!

About the host
Hosted by Scott
A Warm Welcome To You!
I'm an easy-going guy with some world travel under my belt who very much enjoys hosting guests arriving from all over the country and globe to explore magical Portland and its environs.
While natural and sustainable living is a work in progress, it did become part of my DNA from an early age and it sits at the fore of what I try to bring to the Patio Cottage .
So it can't help but give me some satisfaction when guests find value in this eco-oriented effort at the heart of the peaceful solitude that the Patio Cottage is here to provide.
Having lived in Portland for a long time, I know the city and region well. While giving you all the space you need, I am friendly and welcoming and, if you ask, I'm always happy to provide tips on whatever local sights or activities you may be in the mood for, or to help you figure out logistics. So please feel free to ask if you see me around doing maintenance or yardwork, or text or call me.
If you are vegetarian, vegan, or just curious about or enjoy plant-based cuisine, I've been vegan for decades, and being tuned into the plethora of plant-based restaurants, bars, and food carts in town, I'll be more than happy to point you towards where you can grab the kind of grub in that realm you might be craving.
