Great property
The hosts were very quick to respond to a shower head issue. The grounds are beautiful the house was clean and very well stocked with everything you would need. We stayed for 10 days and loved it! They had a washer & dryer in the home for convenience (we didnt need to use it but was to nice know it was there if we did). Best VRBO we have stayed in yet!!!

Thank you Catherine for your kind words. We work hard to make sure the cottage is clean, comfortable, and cozy, as our title indicates. Thanks too for mentioning the screen. We are working on getting that repaired. Hope you can come see us again sometime, Debbie

We had an amazing stay!
We visited Oregon for fun and business for 3 weeks, staying at 3 different places. This one was by far the best. It was comfortable, easy to book and at a competitive price overall. This clean cozy cottage had all the comforts of home, and the amenities we needed. (And then some) The decor reminds me of my Grandma's home. It's very peaceful sitting in front of the fireplace or sitting out on the patio watching the birds and squirrels play in the park like garden areas. The bed felt very comfortable to me. Our small dog enjoyed walking with us to the dog park just up the street. He made a few new friends on the way and after he got there so he was always anxious to go out on a walk. Instruction for Checking in and Checking out was a one-page outline- very clear, concise directions. The location was great too because it was close to shopping centers and fun things to do. Oregon City has a lot of Pioneer History if you are interested. I highly recommend staying here. 5 Star recommendation.

My parents loved it
We rented the Cottage for my parents for a week to escape the heat of AZ and be closer to us. They loved the place! Said it was just perfect for them. Debbie was fantastic to coordinate with on their arrival, rolling with the changes induced by the chaos that was going on with their departure from AZ that changed their arrival date 3 times in the last week.

Wonderful Cottagr!
The cottage is perfect. We were so comfortable and had everything we could need for our two week stay - nothing was lacking. It was quiet and peaceful. There were two beautiful parks within walking distance and we even enjoyed a little league baseball game one evening. Very convenient/short drive to downtown and restraints/food carts. Our hosts were welcoming and wonderful - quick to respond to questions and very helpful. Enjoyed every minute of our stay due to their attention to detail and hospitality! Thanks so much!

The cottage was beautiful, clean and perfect for our 2 week stay. Had everything we needed including lots of food, spices in pantry and condiments in the refrigerator. Has large new stove with flattop surface not shown in pictures. Hopefully it will be available next time we visit. Owners rapidly responded to any questions we had. Thank you for sharing your cottage.

Lovely cottage in suburbs of Oregon City
The overall stay was great. A few notes: it's difficult to receive mail here, so if you need to, make sure you coordinate with the host, as the cottage itself has no mailbox. You can receive packages shipped with Fedex/UPS, but the USPS has trouble finding the cottage because it shares the property with a much bigger house that's situated by the main road. The hosts were very responsive, and when we had issues in the apartment, were quick to solution with us. The amenities were all we could ask for: coffee maker, toaster, toaster oven, dishwasher, crock pot, cooking and baking stuffs, spices, dishwashing supplies, cleaning supplies, etc. The bathroom was fully stocked as well, with plenty of toilet paper, toiletries, even qtips. The host provided linens and towels, which was unusual from our other VRBO stays, but very appreciated! Our kitties were welcome, and enjoyed the space as well. The fireplace was amazing for cold mornings, and the kitties roasted like little hams in front of it. If you have more than one vehicle, you will need to coordinate with the host to park it in the breakdown lane on the street. There is only room for 1 car inside the parking area on the property.

Super Cute Cottage!
I had the pleasure of staying in Debbie's cottage for several nights while in the Portland area for work. The property is just as listed, cozy and clean, and with beautiful grounds. It was quiet and well appointed. Traveling alone, I wanted something small and homey but also somewhere I felt safe. I will definitely plan to stay here again and also recommend to my co-workers that may travel to the area.

This was our second time staying at this beautiful cottage in Oregon City. We stayed for close to a month each time and had absolutely no problems or complaints. The location is very convenient for any and all activities in the Portland area. The owners were easy to reach and very responsive to all of our inquiries. We could not have asked for anything better!

Cozy cottage in beautiful setting
Our main impressions were how serene, warm ( a beautiful fireplace greeted us when we entered) and comfortable the house was. There was attention to details in all the things a guest would need. We loved the garden. The plethora of feeders everywhere brought in a wonderful combination of birds for us to watch. We had our very elderly dog with us and he adapted at once to the house and walks around the neighborhood. The hosts Debbie and Craig were helpful and friendly and at the same time gave us total privacy. Our reservation process was totally smooth. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. J and J Allen

Oregon City cottage
Very clean, comfortable cottage in good location with access to grocery stores and freeways. There was some road noise from a busy street, but when the windows were closed it was fine. Owners were there if needed but left you alone to just enjoy your stay. A good place to go if you have a dog and I was very happy to be able to bring my dog on this trip. There was a nice park with an unleashed dog area close by and my dog had fun playing and running with other dogs. He also enjoyed getting a lot of attention and petting from the other dog owners! Recommend staying here.

Perfect Cottage
My wife and I recently stayed for a month at Debbie and Craig’s cottage while we visited our children in the Portland area. The cottage was in a very safe and very convenient location and we had easy access to restaurants, shopping and freeways. It is situated on a large piece of beautifully landscaped property with the owner’s house on the same property. Also on the property was another rental property the owners rented and a care facility for seniors close behind the cottage, none of which impacted our stay in any way. The cottage itself was perfect for our needs. It was spotless when we arrived and It was well stocked and had everything we needed for cooking and cleaning. There was plenty of storage and we were able to unpack and make ourselves at home. It was quite cozy and comfortable with a large screen TV and fireplace in the living room and a large comfortable queen size bed with another TV in the bedroom. The kitchen had every convenience and we were able to make many wonderful meals keeping our trip costs quite reasonable. The bathroom had a large shower with plenty of hot water and the adjacent washer and drier were easy to operate and worked well. The owners were extremely nice and very helpful with suggestions and answering any questions we had. We would highly recommend staying here and would love to return again in the future.

Delightful Cottage
We recently stayed here while we attended a college basketball tournament in Portland. From the moment we walked through the front door to when we had to end our trip, this cottage is truly one of the best places we have stayed. The cottage was clean, the kitchen was well stocked for our cooking needs, bed was comfortable, and the choice of sports stations on TV was incredible. Our Golden Retriever was very comfortable and enjoyed visits from Lucy. We traveled into Portland via Max which was easy to learn. We utilized the Clackamus Transit Center which is located next to a large mall so shopping was easy. Fred Meyers and Safeway were only a mile from the cottage so obtaining groceries was easy. We will be back!!!

Cozy cottage was exactly what we needed and then some.
If you are planning a trip to the Portland area, then look no further for a place to stay. The cottage was spotless and well equipped. We traveled in all directions from this location and enjoyed returning to the cottage each night. Day trips were made to the Maritime Museum in Astoria with a drive down the coast to Ecola State Park. Be sure to go to the Bonneville Dam and Multnomah Falls on the Columbia River. Our trip to Mt. St. Helen's in Washington was a full day trip. One of our best days was hiking at Silver Falls State Park where we saw 9 beautiful waterfalls. The full kitchen provided us with the ability to prepare all of our meals right at home. Grocery stores and gas stations were nearby. Debbie was such a plus to our stay!! She answered all of our questions and suggested points of interest that were not on our original itinerary. Lucy was the highlight for my husband who is a "dog magnet". We would text Debbie asking if Lucy could come to visit, if she was not sitting patiently looking in the door from the back yard. We plan to return to the cottage to explore more of Oregon in the future.

Gorgeous cottage
This is probably the nicest VRBO property that we have visited, and we've been to quite a few. It's even nicer in person than the pictures show: very clean and beautifully docorated with many fine touches, like the gas fireplace and well-appointed kitchen. Being greeted at the sliding glass door by Lucy, the owners golden retriever, was a great bonus! We were very happy we chose to rent this cottage over the much more expensive local hotel.
