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. ~~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.

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 Eco Cottage was perfect for our couple’s getaway. Ladd’s Addition neighborhood was a pleasant surprise. Quiet neighborhood with food, drinks, & shopping all within a couple minutes walk. Cottage was simple, but had everything we needed for our stay.

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!

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.

Fantastic place and the location is perfect
We stayed at the Eco Cottage and we loved it. The location was perfect, especially when driving out to different locations outside of Portland, and even to the airport. The cottage had pretty much all you need, including extras like extension cords and extra iPhone charging cables. We really did not use the kitchen much but it has everything you need if you plan on cooking. The AC unit was used a few times as it was warm on a few nights. I would recommend everyone to stay here, as the location made going to different places to eat very walkable, and a nice perk was restaurant suggestions which did require a short drive. This cottage is in a neighbourhood called Ladds Addition, and it is massive, but with so many places to eat in all directions. Exploring the neighbourhood was fun as well meeting local residents who helped guide us to cool places to check out like Cartopia and Hawthorne Asylum. Thank you Susan for being a perfect host. When we come back to Portland, we will book your place again.

Sweet city retreat
A wonderful space. Very clean and so very chic. We loved supporting an eco conscious owner. Great location. Beautiful neighborhood. Easy walk to market, restaurants, and transit. The only thing different from listing was we expected the couch to fold out and have a foam topper and bedding. Easy fix. Bedding brought over. Wonderful stay .

Everything I needed and more!
I’m from Georgia and booked my first ever solo trip to Oregon. I found the eco cottage and figured it was in a nice central spot for exploring, and I was right! Being a girl by herself, I was anxious about privacy and feeling safe. There was never a moment that I felt unsafe at or near the cottage. It was equipped with anything you may need. I’m very grateful I found this place as a part of my journey. Will be back :)
