PDX Eco Cottage Guesthouse

Sunset magazine honored us with the Small Space, Big Dreams Home Award and we're featured in the September 2014 issue. Additionally, Portland Monthly Magazine highlighted the cottage in their series on cool guest houses as 'a great environmentally friendly place to stash yourselves while in Portland.' In SE Portland’s historic Ladd’s Addition neighborhood and within walking distance to the newest restaurant row on Division St. An ideal alternative to a stuffy downtown hotel, this cool, home-away-from-home, designed with mid-century modern styling and comfort, is located in one of southeast's hippest neighborhood, close to downtown, public transportation and an acclaimed and flourishing restaurant row. We don’t ask you to do any cleaning, stripping of beds or emptying of trash.~~Please note that the $80 cleaning fee is due at check in, in cash~~ City of Portland ASTR Permit # 14-207831-HO If you think you might need to cancel outside of the refund zone, please consider getting traveler's insurance as we adhere to our cancellation policy.

The cottage is privately located at the back end of the owner's lot, is full of amenities such as radiant heat floors, skylights in every room, cable TV, wifi, a ceiling fan, full kitchen with a gas stove, oven and dishwasher.

The bedroom has classic, blonde 1950's Heywood Wakefield furniture. 100% cotton sheets and towels; plus shampoo, conditioner and Dr. Bronner's peppermint soap are provided in the sleek shower. We're perfect for one or a couple.

The cottage earned an Earth Advantage Green Building platinum certification for utilizing innovative building practices to reduce dependency on non-renewable energy. A rack for shoes is provided so they may be left outside in summer and just inside in winter.

There are two entrances to the cottage - one from the street with on-street parking and another accessed through the alley. The private patio with seating and a table is all yours with a striped awning to protect from the hot sun in summer.

Ladd's addition has a 'walk score' of 92 - perfect for strolling around the rose gardens or using the nearby bike route to get around the city. Funky hawthorne blvd. Is the northern border of Ladd's with culinary-rich Division St. To the south, gaining prominence for its growing and innovative restaurant scene and unique shops. Nearby clinton st.'s bars and coffee shops as well as restaurants round out why this area lands you in the heart of what makes portland unique - small, boutique restaurants, an independent movie theater and one-of-a-kind businesses for shopping. We are a block from a children's playground.

The Eco-Cottage is one VRBO that is even better than the photos. Susan was lovely and accommodating. The neighborhood was absolutely charming and easily accessible by public transport. As an added bonus we got some of the bounty from Susan's beautiful garden. I would come back in a heartbeat!

Lovely cottage in great location

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Ladds Addition is such a pretty area with lots of cafes and restaurants within walking distance. It is very quick and easy to get into the centre of the city by public transport so you don’t need a car. The cottage has everything you could want to make your stay comfortable.

The perfect location for the perfect cottage

From start to finish this cottage has everything you will need to make your stay even better. Available compost and recycling was a big plus for us and the reusable grocery bags susan leaves to use where great when we made trips to the local grocery stores ans shops all within walkimg distance. You really couldnt ask for a better location to have as your starting point to see the city! We highly suggest this eco cottage and cant wait to plan our next trip there !

Perfect spot, perfect location

The owner has put in thought and work to create a lovely space that feels like a secret garden in the heart of Portland. There are so many great restaurants that are walkable and the neighborhood layout is so unique. The location was perfect for staging day trips to Mt. Hood or Cannon Beach, while still being able to enjoy the city. She was great and communication and quick to respond to anything we needed. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Portland.

Getaway in a great location!

I have visited Portland many times but never spent any time in Ladd's Addition, and it was so cool! A little funky with all the one way streets but you are surrounded by parks, rose gardens, and easy walk through beautiful tree-lined neighborhoods to coffee, restaurants, etc. The place is comfortable and was nice to have fans and good windows to help it cool down at night. Easy communicating with Susan and the lovely to be in a place thinking from an eco-friendly perspective, we would stay here again!

Consider the extra fees before booking

The property was very well laid out with everything one or two people would need for a cozy short term stay. Everything was clean and orderly when we arrived and our stay was very pleasant. The furniture in most of the living space is more visually appealing than it is comfortable but it is fine for a few days and it contributes to the "vibe" of the place. It was a fun place to relax and hang out in and the neighborhood has a lot of character to explore. Check out the local restaurants and coffee options if you want to find something within walking distance.The only downside that we found was the number of communications from the property manager that seemed overly dense and in some cases unnecessary. We had what we needed with the initial email instructions and a booklet that was left in the space for us with further information. Together with the barrage of emails we got from the VRBO platform itself it just seemed like the experience could have been much less demanding of our attention. We booked the visit as a get away and adding 10 more emails to read and respond to did not add to that experience. We were also surprised by an additional fee that was expected after the non-refundable booking was made. If you are considering booking this space, make sure you read the fine print and be prepared to have a significant amount of cash on hand for a cleaning fee that is not included as a host charge like most of the other VRBO listings.
