Historic English Country Lake House

This historic country English cottage was designed by the noted NW archetect Richard Sundeleaf. With a lovely view of Lake Oswego and walking distance to the center of town, it has all the old world charm of an English cottage with the comforts of updated bathrooms and fully cook ready kitchen. Sitting on a half acre of property you will feel that you are in the country while only minutes away from outstanding restaurants. Note:
the train runs along the back of the property 4 times a day.

Delightful stay!
We stayed here for a month while closing on and moving in to our new home nearby. It was such a peaceful place to have while we navigated the chaos of moving. We were actually quite sad to leave! The photos just do not do it enough justice! We felt like we were staying in a friends home; everything was just as one could want and need and so peaceful. A beautiful half mile walk in to the center of town. Highly recommend!

Beautiful Country Home
What a wonderful home! This cottage has a unique blend of old world charm and modern conveniences. Built almost 100 years ago, the house is immaculately preserved. And Mary, the owner, has found a way to remodel the kitchen, baths and A/C to modern standards making for an ideal vacation stay. We enjoyed the patio with its lake views, walks in the lovely neighborhood, and even the occasional train, which did not wake us. This is truly a visit we will cherish. Thanks Mary!

Wonderful retreat!
We had a lovely week at this gem of a property! There was a perfect balance of historic charm and modern amenities to make our stay very comfortable. Luckily, we had great weather while we were there, so we spent quite a bit of time on the serene patio enjoying the view of the lake. Mary was very accessible by phone and responsive to any questions we had. Looking forward to our next stay here!

A first rate experience
We had a wonderful week's stay at this charming home. It is beautifully and, most important, comfortably furnished and decorated. The location was perfect for us and a lovely neighborhood for walks, with restaurants and shops about a mile away. The trains did not bother us at all; in fact, my husband loved them! We will look forward to our next stay.

Second stay at this lovely house
The VRBO is exactly what it is advertised plus some. The owner, Mary, is wonderful and very accommodating. The house is so lovely. Our daughter is in college nearby and since we stayed there when we dropped her off, she was looking forward to staying there as well. Very close to stores, shops and restaurant. I can't imagine staying anywhere else when we visit Portland.

Lovely cottage
Just spent a few days in this lovely home for a reunion with friends. We loved every minute! The home is beautiful and has a great view of the lake and trees. It is very quiet so great for a relaxing vacation. The location was perfect, very close to town and restaurants, also a very easy drive to Portland. The house had everything we needed and Mary is a wonderful host, very responsive. We would all definitely recommend it!

Lovely cottage with surprise sounds!
Overall the cottage was cute with a beautiful peekaboo view of the lake. It’s historic, so expect a dark home with a lot of creaky noises from floor and beds. Unfortunately, the beds kept each other up and the “surprise “ train came every morning at 2:50am and 6:00am. It was disturbingly loud. The bathrooms were well appointed. WiFi was good.
